I saw Thomas Pynchon at a grocery store in Long Island yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person and congratulated him on the success of his latest novel Bleeding Edge, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “Want to tell me how much you liked CoL49 now? Huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifty copies of Gravity's rainbow in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be busy and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the copies and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any RFID 'interference',” and then turned around and winked at me. After she scanned each copy and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by reciting Wernher von Braun quotes very loudly

I saw Thomas Pynchon at a grocery store in New York one day. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Sie haben den falschen Kerl bekam, Goebbels.”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Wah?” but he kept cutting me off and going “Wah? Wah? Wah?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him going Hʏuk Hʏuk Hʏuk as he walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen bananas in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be Emiliano Zapata not obey her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bananas and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and said "Say, ace, m-make sure you scan them individually—t-to prevent any entropic entanglement,” and then turned around and winked at me. I could have sworn I heard a ding sound. After she scanned each banana and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
