Stupid Questions
Is it something in the air today?
I went into Lush to get a small birthday gift for a friend and decided on some pink shower gel (because I liked the scent) and because I’m ever so slightly anal the bath bomb I got to go with it had to be pink too. So I’m standing there at the checkout in black boots, black combats, a black top and a purple and black hoodie and the girl serving me says,
‘Having a Pink day?’
Do I look like the sort of person who EVER has a pink day?
So then I make a trip to Robert Sayle to buy some olive green sewing thread.
I go to pay and a young lad is sorting some fabrics on the counter..
He looks me straight in the eye and carries on with what he’s doing.
I clear my throat loudly.
He looks me in the eye and carries on with what he is doing.
I pick the thread reel up and place it down on the counter with a little bang.
He looks me in the eye and carries on with what he is doing.
I won’t bore you but suffice to say this went on for a good few minutes, until finally he turns to me and asks,
‘Did you want to pay for that item?’
Could have saved myself a whole pound if only I’d realised that there was a choice.
