Leave me alone already

I find a lot of Lucky Brand jeans at TJ Maxx. Even at their slashed prices I still won't buy them.

And $80 for a pair of jeans is actually the Buckle's low end.

You did that on purpose. Didn't you.

HAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!

Oh, man, I just did a double take on that and I about peed on myself.

I hate getting bombarded when I walk into a store to look around. Which is why I refused to do that when I still worked at The Bullseye. During my last few months there, my lead that took over in electronics was a stickler for us getting out there and asking Every. Single. Person in the electronics/entertainment area whether they needed help. Um... no. Just no. For one thing, I never went over to books unless I was putting stuff away or specifically got asked a question, because it was the section that was furthest away from the counter and there were no call buttons over there, and heaven forbid if a call button went off (seriously, what were they there for, then). So, I stuck around the area that had six fucking call buttons to cover my ass on that. Second, I refused to wander around and ask people if they need help when they obviously didn't need help. If I wasn't sure, I would ask. If they were obviously just browsing and having a grand old time being left alone, I left them alone. And I figured that if someone needed help, they could come ask me. It's not like I was hiding down an aisle all the time; I made sure I was very visible so people could come to me if they needed my assistance, and I wandered around like I was supposed to, I just didn't feel the need to make conversation with everyone there. I didn't work on commission, why the hell should I act like I do?

Don't even get me started on some of those vultures. I stopped going into a furniture/appliance store because of that. When my husband and I were checking out prices on coffee tables, we made the mistake of going into that store and those people would not leave us the hell alone! We saw a couple of tables that looked nice, but never ended up going back because we couldn't handle being stalked.

No, it's a typo. I don't even get the joke.

"copro--" == prefix denoting "shit". e.g. "coprolith" = hardened lump of feces that gets lodged in the intestine; "coprolalia" = irresistible urge to speak obscenity, such as is seen in Tourette's syndrome. Derived from Greek "kopros", meaning dung.

Now you see why I figured you did it deliberately?

"coprorate" is my new favorite word.

It NEEDS to be a real word.

As far as I am concerned, it is a real word.

Wow, my single greatest moment of win I'll ever have in my life and it was completely by accident.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

That's the absolute best kind of win, my friend.

[Fire_on_High]

Yep, totally.
