They Need To Be Set Straight
(I’m a customer, wandering around the mall with my husband to kill time while my phone is being repaired. I pass a kiosk that is selling hair-straightening devices. A worker spots me.)
Worker #1: “Hi! We’ve got a great deal today!”
Me: “No, thanks.” *keeps walking*
Worker #1: “Imagine no-damage, straight, shiny hair!”
Me: *over my shoulder* “No, thanks.”
(Later, I’m heading back to pick up my phone and I pass the same kiosk. The worker now has a coworker with them.)
Worker #2: “Hey! We can get rid of those curls for you!”
Me: “No, thanks!”
Worker #2: “No one wants curls!”
Me: “No!”
([Worker #2] then RUNS up behind me and tries to grab my hair. My husband blocks her, and I scream:)
Me: “DO NOT TOUCH ME! GET AWAY FROM ME!”
Worker #2: “Geez! No need to be so rude! I’m just trying to help you get rid of those ugly curls!”
Husband: “Who is going to help you get rid of your ugly personality?”
