I was chuckling to myself this morning as I thought about things I used to do when I was younger. And I don't mean like, 10.. I mean I stopped doing these things only a few years ago.
When I was younger, I thought that when I was retail shopping and someone asked me at the checkout, "Is anyone helping you today?," that it meant "Is anyone helping you pay for your items today?" And I wondered why the hell they asked this. I mean, did women come in shopping and have someone "help them" with the price? Did some shadowed stranger just step up and slap down a credit card and pay for all the girls' stuff? Would they just say "Oh yeah, charge it to so and so"? I mean, what the hell was I thinking? Because of this, I always assumed the sales people thought I had some sugar daddy when in reality I never did. And because of this, I probably scammed at least tens of dollars in commissions from sales people. Because in reality, I WAS being helped. By the people who told me their names and opened the dressing rooms for me. Oops.
Another stupid thing I used to do was once my hair was cut, and they handed me the mirror - I never knew it was so look at the back of my hair. They would hand me the mirror and I would hold it in my hand and smile and nod and cringe a bit like, what is this all about? I just thought it was so I could look at my face in a DIFFERENT mirror. And you know, not look at the back of my hair. I was literally like 25 when I realized this wasn't the case. Oops. At least this one, unlike the above, didn't cost anyone any money.
