She was soooo \"Stink\"! (Long)
Hi guys,
I just am blowing off a little steam...
Today I was at a nice department store and noticed how the look of the Fashion Fair cosmetics have changed. I decided to have a look. There was no one behind the counter where I was standing so I walked over to two sales persons who were casually chatting with each other at another counter. I asked if there was someone around who could help me with the FF line. A woman with the most shiny, healthy, relaxed brastrap length hair I had ever seen turned around and told me that they didn't work for that line. So I said "Yes, I know (they were wearing smocks of another line). Is the FF person around and if not can I get some help anyway"?
You would have thought that I had ask her for half of the gum in her mouth! She sighed, rolled her eyes slightly and shuffled her way to the FF counter. Trying to not lose my cool and giving the girl the benefit of the doubt (she may have just gotten some bad news or something) I decide to take the "high road" and compliment her on her beautiful hair. I figured I might be able to soften her funky attitude by saying something nice. "Your hair is lovely and so healthy looking... Do you do anything special to maintain it"?
Do you know what this chic had the nerve to say to me?
":::big sigh::: You know, long hair isn't for everybody. Even if you used the same products I do, It wouldn't guarantee that your hair would look like this"! (I hadn't even said anything about the length).
I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Her blatant rudeness after I had just paid this *itch a compliment just floored me. I guess I am just spoiled by the graciousness and sharing that goes on at this forum. We have some beautiful heads of hair here and people have shared their tips and helped each other so freely. After what I experienced today, I appreciate that all the more. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
