Like, Oh My God!
College Girl #1: “Our friend is registered here, but we can’t find her name on the computer.”
College Girl #2: “Yeah, it’s broken.”
College Girl #1: “She’s like one of our best friends and we need to get her a present.”
College Girl #2: “Yeah.”
Me: “Oh, okay, well let’s try it again.”
(We walk over to the gift registry kiosk.)
Me: “So is your friend registered for a wedding or baby shower?”
(The two girls look at each other confused.)
College Girl #2: “…Wedding?”
Me: “Okay…what’s her first name?”
College Girl #1: “Sarah…”
Me: “Is that with an ‘h’ at the end, or is it just S-A-R-A?”
(The two girls look at each other confused.)
Me: “Okay, well the computer can search using the first two letters of the first name, so we’ll just put in S-A. And what is her last name?”
College Girl #1: *says something unintelligible that sounds like “Pheuyben”*
Me: “And how do you spell it?”
(The girls look at each other confused.)
College Girl #2: “Um…”
College Girl #1: “Uh…”
Me: “Does it start with an ‘f’ or a ‘p-h’?”
College Girl #1: “P-h.”
College Girl #2: “F.”
(The girls look at each other confused. Oh. My. God. If I had “best friends” like that I’d swallow some Drano.)
