Mall Rant!
So I had to go to the mall today, something I avoid like eating at The Olive Garden, and I was accosted by no fewer than three different women trying to sell me Dead Sea Scum or Wrinkle-B-Gone. Now I'm not against being pawed by a pretty woman, but I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy - do I really look like I care about exfoliating my cheeks? I have no idea what was in the wrinkle crap she put around my eye, but it must of had botox or something in it because now I'm walking around like Popeye.

I guess people have to make a living, but next time I have to go to the mall, I've got to figure out a way to avoid those damn kiosks.

1. You let them TOUCH you?
You're supposed to snarl and mumble as you walk past the kiosk.

3. Hey, I said she was pretty!
Besides, she jumped me when I bent down to try and pick up the quarter that was glued to the floor.:-)

5. You didn't HAVE to let the pretty woman paw you!
Then you wouldn't be walking around like Popeye. :rofl:

7. you should just sexually harass them.
I think they'd get the point pretty quickly.

10. Yeah, they'd get the point, and I'd get the cuffs.
I think I'll use a different strategy.

8. I haven't been to a mall in years
Thanks for reminding me why.

I like to support local indie businesses.

9. I think a lot of the kiosk businesses are indie,
they just hire the pushiest people they can. Unfortunately, the only Apple store around here is in the mall, hence my journey into the Devil's Workshop.:)

11. Malls are to buyers
as Suburbs are to humans - Graveyards
