I now understand everything happens for a reason because of what took place at this magical pit stop. Had I have gotten gas the previous evening, this blog may very well have never been created.
After filling up, I went inside to pick up a cup of boiling, heinous gas station coffee. As I approached the counter, I heard the tail end of a conversation between an employee of the establishment and someone restocking some goods behind the counter.
In my nearly 29 years of existence, this may very well be one of the oddest sentences ever spat out of the mouth of a human being.
This sentence haunted me most of the day. Trying to decipher what precisely she could have been talking about. To this day, the unknown thoughts periodically creep into the deep reaches of my soul as I dread the potential ramifications of what may happen if I am never able to grasp the meaning of this terrible phrase.
If you fail to understand what emotions I'm feeling, perhaps we can get some assistance from the comedian Lewis Black.

Every single one of us has been there. I really just wish we had some way to pool of these instances to discuss them as a...well, a support group, if you will, to help each other better understand and/or decipher what it is our fellow human beings were discussing at the time these absurd sentences, regrettably for all passers by, came tumbling off their lips.
I feel now the buildup is complete. Here is the phrase I heard uttered that fateful morning at Phillips 66:
"I was at Wal-Mart the other day and someone picked one out of my hair."
I shrug. This is all I can do. I want, nay, beg to know what in the world this poor girl was talking about.
This is now my quest. I will wrestle to discover to truth behind this statement, but I'm hopeful if I cannot, I can assist you with one of yours.
