When are people gonna get it into their thick heads that theres no such thing as a sale!!!!!?????
Stores bring down their prices for the sales 2 the price an item is supposed 2 b anyway!!!!! So if they advertize, for example, a 60% Off Sale, they have jacked up prices 60% during normal times, so that during Sales time like this they then bring the normal time price down 60% 2 the price it is supposed 2 b!!!!! And it doesnt only happen here either, it happens worldwide!!! NO STORE IS PREPARED 2 GIVE AWAY STUFF!!!!! [Edited 12/27/05 5:07am] | |

even my neighborhood was weird when i got home to chicago from the holiday weekend...i couldn't even get out of the damn cab without some dope fiend opening the door for me and starting in with "can you give me a dollar? maybe two dollars?" and then when i stopped in the store to get some soda, this little hasidic kid blocked the door on my way out and was all, "ARE YOU JEWISH??? DON'T YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE JEWISH???"
i was just waiting for the mothership to come down and abduct me on the way home last night. | |

I love shopping but only when I know exactly what I want. Trawling round the shops in the sales
I'm in, out, shake it all about, and gone. No faffing around. Being pushed, shoved and walked into isn't one of my favourite pastimes. People are so effing rude. | |
