For a neutral, you are really offensive!

Well, I went to the mall today. Yeah, nothing big, I know. I recently received the gift of body butter. I love body butter! So much so, that if it were an actual butter that was edible, I'd eat it on toast, rub it on my steak, and have it on crackers as a midnight snack. Well, I usually stick to the same 'flavors'. My list runs mango, satsuma and coconut.

As I was saying I received body butter. It was blueberry. Now, because it wasn't one of the 'usual' types I use, I wanted to check it out before I opened it. Body butter is a personal choice. I would actually never purchase body butter for someone unless I knew their preferred flavor. I wouldn't open it and waste it if I think it stunk. So, I went to the mall to smell it. There is a display of body butters and I scanned the wall and there was no blueberry. I was a bit puzzled, which is probably why a store representive asked me if I needed any help. I told her that I looking for the blueberry body butter. And this is what she said: "Blueberry??? We haven't had that on the shelves in almost two years!"

TWO years?!?! WTF! Who gives someone a gift that they have been holding on to for about two years? If you don't like something or don't want it, why not just give it to a person on any day of the week? Not for their birthday! Okay, you could give it to someone for their birthday, however it would have to be someone that actually liked the blueberry flavor. And I'm actually going to take that back. It can only be given away on any ole' day.

Who was the offender you ask? Switzerland. Yeah, and unfortunately, it's not the first time either. It happened at Christmas. I was given a bunch of manicure accessories by Switzerland. I had pretty much all the things she gave me and wanted to exchange it for something more useful. And before you call me names, I have you know that Switzerland was at the mall at the exact same time that I was there, exchanging the gift I purchased for her. So, I went to return it, and I was rejected at the cashier. Apparently, the gift I received was part of a set, that came in a pretty little container and had a few extra pieces that I didn't get. So, she basically pulled apart a gift set that she received, took out the stuff she wanted, rewrapped it and then re-gifted it to me.

I have now been subjected to the re-gift by the same person, twice in three months. I find that a little harsh. Not to mention all the ignoring that Switzerland has been doing to me. I had a super bad day last week. It was something that I had to do and was dreading for a while. And Switzlerland knew all about it and that it stressed me out. So I called her afterwards for some comfort. She didn't call me back that night. Or the next night, or on the weekend. I mean, I can understand if you can't call someone right back cause you are busy. But if you can go out on a Saturday night to party, you can fit in a five minute phone call to see if the person is doing better. That's my opinion.

Goodnight room. Goodnight moon. Goodnight cow jumping over the moon. Goodnight light, and the red balloon... Good night.
