why, oh why do i let my wife drag me out for this crap.
a few years back it made sense to stand around in the cold to save $300 on a TV. This year....she wanted to save $5 on dvds and $7 on a few shirts. Next thing you know, i'm down $600 bucks and dont need any of it!
I am not a very social person when it comes to crowds and chaos...and i can be very outspoken in certain situations where everyone else is shy. wellll....at old navy, which i despise anyhow, im in line waiting forever to save my $12 and some kid casually comes up behind me (the line wraps around an aisle at a 90 degree turn, and he's trying to squeeze in). but he doesnt have to balls to do it, so every time i shift my weight, or turn my head, he holds a pair of jeans up acting like he's deciding if he likes them and inches in. the lady in front of me takes a defensive stance and gets on her phone, quietly whispering about the a$$wipe trying to cut in line...other people i'd been in line with are whispering under their breath. then the kids friend comes and says "how'd you get so far up in line john?" I politely announce" He DIDNT. He's tring to weasel his way with this move..." (as i demonstrate the "im just looking at these pants and happen to be using them as a battering ram" move". he looks at me and says 'yeah, ive gotta use my moves today..this is crazy." i reply 'well try it somewhere else. and while youre at it, stop touching me. back up'. he says ' oh, all you had to do is say something' i say 'i just did'. then he sheepishly walks 50 ft to the back of the line. then the people around actually applaud!
an hour later while in line outside of target, aforementioned a$$wipe slips under a caution tape barrier and casually slips in line about 20 people in front of me while acting oblivious, using the ' im pretending to be on my cellphone and im distracted' move. everyone that sees him is talking amongst themselves, but does nothing. at this point, i was more than happy to go remind him that his newist 'dick-move' (not sure where i came up with that...but it sounded good on the spot) wasnt going to work. he again walked to the back of the line...this time about 500 feet!
now im exhausted, and aggravated. time for a nap. at least we saved $250. hahaha. and spent 600....not sure how that happened...
