I was at a mall today when I walked by a Super Shammie kiosk. I was minding my own business when the salesman offered me a free sample. I used my usual response where I glance at him and shake my head no. He says I can use it to clean my sunglasses. I keep walking.
Then he says this gem: "Maybe it'll give you something to smile about."
"Maybe it'll give you something to smile about."WTF?!?!
It's bad enough when I get it from people I know, but total strangers?!?! What did I do to this guy?!?!
My response: "F*** you!"
Not my best moment. He didn't even hear me because by this time he was already turned away from me talking to someone else and the rest of the mall crowd probably drowned me out. I almost went back there to yell at him, but I realized it would likely make things worse.
I left. It made me want to cry, but I didn't. I sucked it up like I usually do.
*sigh*
I'm going to contact mall management. Nothing will probably happen, but it's about all I can do.
Of course, what
would make me feel better is to go back to the mall, stand a good distance away, and give him my 1000-mile stare (it's even more potent than the 1000-yard stare

) while he tries to sell his merchandise so he gets unnerved and flustered and royally screws up any chance he has of making a sale.

What a jerk. An episode like that would probably put me to -10.
