<\/a>I’m exchanging old Wii games for new ones at a local gaming store. The dead eyed clerk shuffles through my stack and when he hits the “Totally Spies!” game disk, he hesitates ever so slightly.<\/p>\n

Me: Do you judge people by the games they return?<\/p>\n

Clerk: Ah. (Pause) No.<\/p>\n

I’m buying a pattern at Fabricland. Due to the nature of the pattern and the impending holidays, I am unable to divulge what I bought. Trust me, it’s the Totally Spies of McCall’s patterns. The perky cheerleader of a clerk is ringing up my purchase.<\/p>\n

Me: Do you judge people by the patterns they buy?<\/p>\n

Clerk: (perky) Ha! No! Never!<\/p>\n

I’m dumping old CDs at a used CD store. The dead eyed clerk is shifting through the 10-20 CDs and comes across “Barney Says Goodnight!” (Yes the same purple dinosaur from I Love You<\/em> fame. I use to play this at 2:45am when I was bartender – it would clear out the drunks fast).<\/p>\n

Me: Do you judge people by the CDs they bring in?<\/p>\n

Clerk: Dude. Nothing phases me anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
