I try to be a nice guy... Really, I do...
Well, not all the time. You'll know that if you've read any of my "stories".
But sometimes...
Sometimes you just have to do what needs to be done.
Just got back from the mall doing some shopping. Yeah, even people "like me" shop. Sometimes it's clothing, sometimes it's toys, and sometimes it's "toys" or things that can be used as "toys".
It's usually more at hardware stores and tack & saddle shops, but even I go to the mall sometimes.
I'm not sure if your local shopping mall has the same type of kiosks down the middle that mine does, but...
A lot of the attendants are quiet and let people come up to them if they're interested in what the vendor has to sell -- since it's displayed right there to see.
But some of them get a bit more aggressive. Maybe they're bored? Maybe they have a quota? Don't know -- don't care. I mean, I care because they are trying to do the job they've been hired to do. But some of them get too aggressive. Obnoxious, even.
And there's not usually a lot you can do about it.
But today...
Let me start at the beginning.
I'd gone to the mall to look for a few very specific items. Unfortunately the stores I needed to go to were at opposite ends of the mall.
So I wound up walking the entire thing.
Something else I don't know is whether your mall has those people who flock there on weekends -- and especially on rainy or snowy weekends -- and then just wander like the undead?
And if they have kids or kids in strollers, then forget about getting anywhere quickly -- especially if they think they're in training for slow-motion racing and go three-wide down both the straight-aways AND the corners. (No offense -- I love to watch NASCAR races so I'm NOT making fun of ya'll/us.)
I stopped in the bookstore to check my normal sections, then hung out and watched to see which women were checking out the latest in the chains of "mommy porn".
Then I headed out for the other end of the mall.
I passed several kiosks and got everything from indifference to, "Excuse me, sir..." as I walked past.
But at one kiosk waaay down at the other end -- just a few stores shy of my target -- one of the kiosk attendants tried to get my attention.
I was polite.
I just said, "No thanks," and walked on.
I found what I was looking for and was trying to decide whether it would work for what I was thinking and decided to go look in a few other stores while cogitating.
The next time I passed the same kiosk the same woman was on the other side and tried to get my attention.
I saw her see me and start my way and I used a pair of "NASCAR nannies" as the "pick" to block her as I walked past.
The third time I passed I was going for the "pass in the outside lane" maneuver when a gal pushing a stroller made an un-signaled exit into a store and I was forced to drop to the inside to keep from putting her into the wall.
Have I mentioned I walk fast pretty much all the time?
Have I mentioned I can sometimes be a bit, um, aggressive?
She managed to ask if I was interested in "full body cologne" as I tried to get past. I politely told her I wasn't interested and continued on my way.
See? Polite. Nice guy.
I went to the store, made my purchase and was on my way back when I noticed that she had seen me coming yet again.
I considered my options and there weren't any good ones. Both sides of the mall were two- three- or even four-wide. You might suggest I turn around and go another way, but again, if you've read any of my "stories" you'll know that really wasn't an option. Not with my unique mindset.
I still tried to be a nice guy. I pretended to look into the store windows on the side away from her. I hope you can appreciate how difficult it was for me to do that, since I usually meet challenges head-on.
But I was still trying to be a nice guy.
That's when she grabbed my wrist.
Maybe "grabbed" is a bit harsh, but her fingers briefly touched my wrist as she said, "Sir, this is the fourth time you've come past here," like there could be no other reason for a person to walk past the same point in a mall four times except to check out her wares. Or her.
And that's when I decided something had to be done.
I stopped and turned to face her, then stared her in the eyes until she dropped her gaze away from mine.
"You have my attention. Continue." I said as I continued to regard her.
She began her spiel and gestured to the wares on the cart, but all I was hearing was a cartoon teacher's voice -- you know the one.
I hadn't heard anything but "full body cologne", but I'd heard that before. I wasn't listening because I was busy reading.
