Seriously, stores need to get it in gear...... I'm getting really irritated with the way they are handling their clearance items these days and I'm about to write a STRONGLY worded letter!!!!
I had to go to 2 stores yesterday to make some UNNECESSARY returns!!!!!.....At the first Store, I bought Bobby... A GREAT baseball bat. I was so excited...it was normally $60 and I got it for JUST $12.... THAT'S GREAT!!!!!....That is until Paul saw it and read the label, and told me that it was actually a softball bat and it was for GIRLS...DAMMIT!..........I blame the store for not having it properly labeled so that I could see that part...shouldn't that be in BOLD print somewhere above the bats??? Maybe even a lit sign.... oh yes, like a lit flashing sign that reads, "GIRLS BATS---GIRLS BATS!!!!"
Then the second store, I bought Mary an adorable pair of shoes, normally $20 for just $5..... THAT'S GREAT, they were so cute!!!! .....That is until I tried to cram her size 13 foot into a size 12 shoe......DAMMIT!........I blame the shoe store for not having those properly labeled either....like, on the SIDE of the shoe...I mean really....Who looks inside and on the bottom of a shoe for the size?? NOT ME!)
To top off these QUESTIONABLE sales techniques.... when I left the 2nd store, I couldn't get into my car, my unlock button was BROKEN! I struggled, and fought, and pulled the handle, (I kept thinking of that song "I whip my hair back and forth"...I bet I kinda looked like that too, except I'm not African American and I'm not ten years old, so I guess I kinda didn't) anyway, I tried the trunk, and I pushed that darn unlock button so hard....then, GREAT!!!..... this is NOT MY CAR!!!!!! .......DAMMIT!.....I blame...ummmm....I blame the driver of the car that's identical to mine, for parking right next to me, knowing darn well that I would think that their car IS MY CAR!! I bet they thought they were pretty cute playing a prank like that too....JERKS!
So I did what every mature woman does and I called my Mother and whined to her about how terrible my day was and how I was wronged so many times. As I was telling her about all the irritating things that happened to me.....Do you know what she said to me? She said,...."Rin, (She calls me "Rin", I think she forgets my real name sometimes, so I just let her) She said, "Rin, I'm exactly the same way, YOU GET IT FROM ME"....I said, "WHAT?? ...I get WHAT from you???? What in the HELL does THAT mean???..... You mean YOU are a VICTIM too????...How do you genetically inherit "BEING A VICTIM" that's not a trait MOM!!!! That can't be passed down!!" ...OMG, She can be such an "AIRHEAD" at times...this is DEFINITELY one of those times!!!!
