Shopping at Wal-mart

[feylahn]

So there I am in Wal-mart looking at jump ropes which happens to be right next to the receiving doors. I was trying to decide if I should get the jump rope with the cushy grip, and sleek black design, or if I should get the one with the yellow and black plastic bits that makes me think of Disney Aerobics and Disco Duck.

I just grabbed the nice black one when I here this thud. I look over and there's a guy looking at me with that lounge singer smile. He points at me, again in lounge singer fashion, and says, "See this wall? (pointing the receiving door) I ran into it 'cause I was looking at you!"

Now I would like to say I had a witty sophisticated come back, but I think instead I had a look of abject horror on my face. Quickly, I tried to cover it up with the giggle that says , "Oh your so funny, get the hell away from me" and walked quickly (don't run) away.

Can't a girl buy a jump rope without being assaulted with bad pick up lines?

if you really mind so much, just make yourself look ugly when you go to wal-mart.

"See this wall? (pointing the receiving door) I ran into it 'cause I was looking at you!"

Hmmm. Gonna have to stop using that line in the future.

There's another girl in here? What are we up to, two? Cheye, you have company.

Didn't you get the memo? We're not allowed to buy sporting equipment without being ogled or harassed. If you're clever, you can wrangle it into discounts occasionally.

OOOPS. Truly sorry Plum, forgot about you.

Three lovely ladies at russbo.com.

Wow.

Gonna have to add some more shopping activities in the Forum Market for all the women.

[zachsan]

hey now, in all fairness, we really have no idea if they're lovely or not.

I actually found it amusing. I was giggling when I typed the original post. It just caught me off guard. Come on! Wal-mart?

I guess I missed the memo. I've never tried getting discounts before. I have been clever enough to get out of tickets though

My mom still get's hit on by people. It's not very often, but it makes me mad nonetheless. Poor mom.

[zachsan]

yeah, i tried the whole, "seduce your way to a discount" thing at wal-mart, too. apparently it doesn't work so well when you have a beard, and you're buying a machete.

[plumflower_pm]

Perhaps you're just targeting the wrong salespeople. Seek out gay ex-vietnam vets, or women who look like they have an undergrowth problem.








I'm gonna be trouble today. I woke up in a very feisty mood.

[doc]

Hey, the women with the undergrowth problems are MINE.

[feylahn]

Hmm... that still leaves the moderatly insane ones.


Don't worry Zachsan. The next time you try to get a machete, when the guy says "You sure do have a pretty mouth." You know you've got your discount.
