I actually felt really bad that he went for me, but I only got to see the conversation from my point of view...until today!
Today, I stopped by Michael's to pick up yet another craft item I needed for the wedding. As I was walking down the aisle (haha..not yet ladies!), I saw a man on his cell phone walking up and down the aisles and you could hear the exasperation in his voice. A few minutes later, we wound up in the same aisle. I eavesdropped as I was looking at beads. He was looking at bags of beads with letters on them - you know, the type kids use to make bracelets with their names on them. This is the one-sided conversation that ensued:
Yes, I'm looking at them. There's a bunch.
...
They're like boxes.
...
Yes, like cubes. Isn't that the same thing?
...
Okay. Yes, they have letters on them.
...
Uhh...(looking carefully at the bag) I don't see numbers, but there are 500 beads in this bag. It's kind of hard to tell.
...
No, I think they're all capitals.
...
No, they don't have lowercase letters.
...
Yes, all capitals (sounding exasperated).
...
Okay, so should I just buy these (sounding like he wanted to leave)?
...
They're colored (sounding a bit upset).
...
Like pink, blue, green, yellow, orange. All the colors!
...
Okay, so I'm just going to buy these.
...
Like, 1/4" or something?
...
Yes, I have a coupon.
...
It's 50% off.
...
Okay.
...
Okay.
...
Bye.
I had to quickly leave after that because I was beginning to crack up. Poor guy. I wonder if Mr. Lace felt the same way when I sent him to Michael's looking for a needle in a haystack!
Did you send your guy to do something that was new to him?
