So Im in Pharma Plus returning some of those nearly disposable battery operated toothbrush heads. See I bought a “Spin Brush Pro” and picked up just the “Spin Brush” regular or something. They were the wrong ones. So anyway. I ask the woman at the counter if I could return them but I had bought them a while back and inbetween that time I had gone to Calgary and stuff. The package was still sealed so she said “I dont think it will be a problem.”<\/p>\n

…And then just stood there<\/p>\n

So I look at her. She looks at me. Then glances down one of the isles.<\/p>\n

A moment passes.<\/p>\n

I make a face that says, “So?”<\/p>\n

“Oh theyre in the basement,” she says, like Im suppose to know who ‘they’ are and why ‘theyre’ in the basement.<\/p>\n

Another moment.<\/p>\n

“Can…you call them?”<\/p>\n

“Oh theres no phone in the basement,” she said all conspiratory-esque.<\/p>\n

Another moment.<\/p>\n

Actually the moment lasted longer than a standard moment. More like an English Imperial moment. All bloated and confused.<\/p>\n

“Is there a snake pit on the way to the basement?” I ask.<\/p>\n

Her look was one like a Fembot that had just 1) had its face knocked off…all embarassed and exposed; and 2) glazed over like a Fembot that looked like “Whoa…water…Im gonna explode…”<\/p>\n

I made excuses and left.<\/p>\n

Totally unrelated: I forgot something my sister said in Calgary as we were driving around with Dad and Donald and myself: “I wonder what kind of package you need for a woody like that?” My eyes bug out. She meant the tricked up PT Cruiser beside us. Oh straight people…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
