I've already given you a full recap of my feelings towards the holidays this year and the people that try to donate you to death.. see "Freakin A Man" ...however, you've gotta love the Salvation Army bell ringer guys...Every morning when I get to work, I usually go across the street to Wal-greens to grab a Vitamin Water and a snack for the middle of the day.... this year, a nice man, about my age, maybe a few years older, was there ringing the bell with pride! I immediately duck my head to prevent eye contact, but it was inevitable. As I get closer, my heels clicking into the asphalt, this guy starts making this sound... "mmm mmm mmm" when I looked up he said "good morning beautiful"... i smiled, was a bit embarrassed, and kept walkin my happy ass into the Wal-Greens... Knowing that he wasn't going to stay quiet on my way out, I kept my left over change from my purchase in my hand ready so that I could make a deposit into his bucket and then maybe the embarassment would stop...but no.. i put the change in.. he strikes up convo with me... askign me where I had gotten my shoes, and that he loved the sweater I had on... Politely i tried to end the conversation and walk away, but the compliments kept coming... and after a while.. i kept listening and chatting, while at the same time digging into my purse to find extra change... it took me getting to the bottom of my bag with no change to realize ... Damn.. am I really PAYING for compliments from a broke ass bell ringer, how do I know this dude isn't gonna empty the pail for himself!... this shit is pathetic!
Just thought i'd share:)
