The Hell?

[offbalance]

Okay, so Catherine was generous enough to pass on one of her brother's GAP friends & family cards to me. For a few days in december, if you have that little red card, you get 30%. So I just went to the gap, and got 2 very nice pairs of the same pants I have been wearing every day, so I can rotate them instead of wearing the same pair all the time. So I get to the register, and I flash the card to the cashier and wait to pay. Then the woman next to me all but grabs my arm and says, "CANIJUSTUSETHATFORAMINUTEANDGIVEITRIGHTBACKTOYOU?"
I gave her a blank look, because I'm sort of in disbelief and sort of confused. So she shoots me a dirty look and says,
"Oh never mind. Merry Christmas."

Um, pardon me, biotch, but get your own damn discount. I'm supposed to hand my card over to a complete stranger just 'cause? Hell no! Urgh.

That, and I got dinner at the Carnegie Deli last night, which is always great fun. I was very pleased that their matzo ball soup was actually tasty, and not overly salty. And the matzo balls themselves were so light they floated. The pastrami was perfect as always, and the cheesecake divine. And the company was fun, and patient, as I detailed my stress to him. *sigh*

but yes. going to sign off of IM and do work. Uh huh.






take the virgin-whore dichotomy quiz.

well, under normal circumstances, I have no problem being generous with stuff like that. I didn't really even have time to reply, as my quizzical expression from being accosted was misinterpreted as rude, making her rude to me. So whatever.

well, when i used mine, the guy was on the phone with gap headquarters for 15 minutes or so (i'm not even exaggerating) and asked for my ID twice. why? i don't know. it's not like i was even spending a thousand dollars or something. so maybe it's best that you didn't lend he the card for that reason too!

i shopped for both me and stacey because she didn't have time to go to the store, and i refused to allow her to buy things without the coupon if i could help it. we spent $300 together, after the discount. eep.
