I am too old to get into a fist fight at Target

#1 of the 4 part series

So I had a price adjustment I needed to get at Target (I had purchased something that was now on sale for a $10 difference and within 14 days you can get your money back)

Anywho...

I was waiting in line behind a lady who, when someone arrived at the counter she walked up THREW her bag down and said

"I want a full F%*king refund for this!"

I blink and try to understand what I just heard. I mean Target will give you a full refund on just about anything without batting a eyelash.

So I was a bit put off and because there was only one person behind the counter I stood with my mouth agape wondering what she will say next?

"And I want to speak to a MANAGER!"

Poor girl behind the counter "No problem let me call one"

The lady stands there breathing and sighing under her breath all loud.

Manager "Hi there, what can I help you with?"

"I WANT A REFUND for this and I also want to say that stupid IDIOT you have working over in electronics is useless blah blah"

Manager "Ok no problem let me just get someone with a key"

She calls another manager over

The free lady then calls me to the counter which needs the manager so we wait.

The second manager arrives and the lady loses it

"That stupid lard ass idiot over in electronics sold me this camera and never said it needed batteries and I want a full refund. He was rude, he seemed like he did not want to help me blah blah"

So as her story gets bigger I am now staring and a crowd has formed.

She then goes on "In fact I want you to call over that stupid lard ass f&*king idiot so I can yell at him and just tell him how stupid he is blah blah"

So cue crazy lady (that's me for all those still following)

"YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!! HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT SOMEONE YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT! I AM SORRY PRINCESS BUT THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU! THESE LADIES CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW RUDE AND CLASSLESS YOU ARE BUT I CERTAINLY CAN AND I AM SO EMBARRASSED FOR YOU! YOU ARE AN ADULT YOU SHOULD REALLY ACT LIKE ONE! DID YOUR MOTHER NOT TEACH YOU THAT??"

So the crowd has gotten much bigger (y'all know how quite I am) and she looks at me and puts her hand up and says to the manager "She better stop talking to me!"

And in the loudest,obnoxious,cheerleaderloud voice I SCREAMED

"OR ELSE WHAT!!!!!!!"

Now that I had the WHOLE stores attention

She calmly finished her transaction and walked away... As she did the crowd clapped.

I apologized to the ladies behind the counter for my outburst and it was so out of character for me but something needed to be said! And they all said "thank you" and one of the managers added that "You always think to say those things and to hear someone say them was refreshing" And I also apologized and for hers because lets face it she is not a good person and someone from the crowd yells

"You know the scary thing is that, that lady probably lives with someone?"

Everyone laughed

I then called the husband

"Honey if you get a call that I am in the hospital because some crazy lady ran me over in the Target parking lot, have them review the video"

Do you see that?

So as cool as I think this is (growing up on Harley's and learning to ride a motorcycle before I learned to drive a car)

Its so unsafe...

But it looks pretty damn cool.. the DOG LOVED it!

I wish I would have gotten a video!

If I find you I WILL KILL YOU!!

Ok maybe a bit rash.

My debit card has been compromised.

Yep some fucker, some how got my bank card info AND HAS BEEN SHOPPING ONLINE!!!

And the scary thing? They have my address too.

Oh and my bank card? Yep sitting nestled in my wallet!!!!

Yep they got online set up a fake paypal account with my address and bank card information and ORDERED PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT!


I am one of those crazy people who checks my account about 3 times a day. Maybe in hopes that a million dollars will soon appear? Maybe I am just strange?

Anyways, when I logged in last night my account BALANCE WAS IN RED!! I may have blushed a little because I have NEVER seen that... And then I went in to see what overdrew my account?

Yeah PISSED OFF is not the right way to say the way I was feeling. I called the bank, they said because the transactions were pending they could not do anything I had to call the vendor.

So I call paypal they "freeze" the false account set up in my name and are in the process of sending me information to sigh and send back, and affidavit declaring I did not make this purchase.

And now I have to wait 7-10 days for a new bank card. What a mess!! They said at this time of year they have no idea how these criminals get all this information but its really scary they had a different mailing address then billing address (which was not mine) but paypal will not give me the information....

Ugg SO FRUSTRATING!! Has this happened to anyone else?

Yep, I cried like a baby!

So the hubby left this morning.

And I cried. A lot.

There is a few reasons I was upset and as the day has gone on the reasons are clearer to me.

1. I am going to miss him.

2. Like Crazy.

3. 22 days is a REALLY long time to go without being around your best friend.

4. I wish he was going too.

5. I am a big baby.

6. We are going to be in different country's away from each other for our 6 year wedding anniversary.

Its so strange because I am not really a big crier. Ok that's a lie. But its been a while since I have had a good cry. And I cried.

Not that cute little, a few tears down my face. We are talking SOBBING! I saved him from the sobbing he just saw the ugly tears and sniffling. I waited till he went till I really let it all out.

I am better now and I am SUPER excited for my trip I just wish I was going with my man...

The interesting hotel we stayed in...eewww!!

**** If you want to enter the Give Away go to this post****

We started out later in the day for our trip to Kansas. The loaders came to load our stuff @ 9am and were finally done by noon. Turns out the guy who was supposed to help them move us called at 5am and said he would not be able to make it so they were down one guy.

The hubby was able to help with the big stuff (helps having a strapping man for a husband) which made things go a little faster.



The carpet cleaners came @ 1pm and then we were off to drop off keys and hit the road.

After 10 hours of driving and being up all day we were both tired and decided to get a hotel. Due to being on a budget I thought "Oh look there is an Econo Lodge" Perfect.

We pull in a check that they do accept dogs. Its an extra $10 a night so we agree and check in, get what we need from the cars and into the room.

You know how you are SO tired anything is better than one more minute with your eyes open? We went straight to bed on the ply board that was supplied by the hotel (the bed was SO BAD). We awoke to the 5am sun in our eyes due to this.



I guess when you check in @ 1am you get a room with 1 curtain



The window came complete with its own dead flies too..

AND THEN when the hubby got into the shower and I was laughing because it sounded like there were fire hoses in there hosing him down. I asked how the pressure was and we giggled for a bit because, well it was like getting hosed off with a fire hose...



I guess no one can complain about the water pressure...

Calling 911 is always fun!

So hubby and I we laying in bed @ 2:50am on Friday night.

To be honest I had barely made it home from the bar, a few friends from the restaurant headed out to the local watering hole for some drinks. Well some drinks turned into lots of drinks and we had the most hilarious night!

Anywho... So laying in bed I head a car alarm go off. (Hubby is DEAD asleep). And then I hear the neighbours right above us someone came home and slammed the door.

Then she SCREAMED.

And she SCREAMED and yelled something about "get the hell out of here"

I am shaking the hell out of the hubby to wake him up as I fly over him for the phone.

More terrified screams. I dial 911 and tell them what is going on and I rush to the window to see when the police arrive. I run outside in a blanket to meet them, I am not sure I wanted my new neighbours to know I called 911 on their ass, but I was scared shitless.

You know how you hear some scream and all the hairs on the back of your neck stand up?

The police pounded on the door for 20 minutes. I swear I was thinking she was dead. They came back to ask me a few more questions. Because I did not hear anything like "I am going to kill you" or any other kind of death threats and she refused to open the door (probably because he would not let her)

They left and told me if I heard ANYTHING else to call them right away.

I am still sick about what happened up there.

What fun...

So I quit my job and now I am forced to find another.. This is not fun, although I do say I quite enjoy the interview part of it. I have been to an interview and I have had a phone interview and then I got to thinking the company I work for now LOVES me, and I like them too, its a great company to work for. So I am doing a business plan to present on Monday when my manager gets back. I am in the works of completing a job description for my dream job. At the company I work for. Its a leap and I know it, but will all the growth and change that is going on in the company the worst they can say is no. And if they do then I have lost nothing. I have talked to a few of the executives that have given me a hard time about leaving and mentioned my plan and asked them what they thought. 2 of them have offered to train me in the "spots" that I am including in my dream job description. And both have said its a GREAT idea and that the company is in MAJOR need of the position I am proposing... So fingers crossed!!
I am one crazy chick!

Have you ever taken the leap at work? Did it turn out?

I have been SUPER busy!

I worked 24 hours at the PT job this week which is not my usual but I covered it and the following schedules I am only on 12 hours which I could live with.

Question for you all....

At the PT job I watched this little boy probably 7-9 (not sure because I am not so great with ages) steal a pack of gum. When him and his mom came up to the register I asked him if he was going to pay for the pack of gum he put in his pocket? He looked at me with tears in his eye's and whispered to his mom "Should we tell her?" And the mother just looked at me and said "My child would never steal anything!"
So I respond and at the time I did my manager came around the corner "Well I am sorry Mame I watched your son who would never steal put a pack of gum in his pocket would you like me to add it to your order or would you like him to put it back?"
My manager pinches me from behind and I know I am stepping over the boundaries of "good customer service"

She looks me straight in the eye reaches in the kids pocket only to pull out the pack of gum in question and state "We bought this at another store" Kid is in tears, mom is lying out her ass about it IN FRONT OF HER FUCKING CHILDREN!! It is clear its from our store with price attached and everything.

AND I HAD TO LET HER GO!!!

Would you knowingly let you child steal and cover for them??

Shopping always seems to work

I am feeling much better today.. WEEHOOO, I think it was just a little bug. I woke up this morning feeling well rested and the stomach no longer rumbles.. Maybe it was the lure of having to go shopping today..at my favorite place that I have to drive 40 minutes to get to. Actually I have to drive 40 minutes to pick up my prescription.. Yeah my prescription. Funny thing when I moved out here to COWBOY country I made sure there was a Target because that's where all my prescriptions are. I checked the city we were moving to (ASSUMING) thinking all Targets had pharmacy's, and with the wonders of technology you can have your prescriptions filled any where in the US its BEAUTIFUL.
Anyways our little small town in cowboy country has a Target, and a Super wall mart, and a Sam's club... yeah our Target does not have a pharmacy.
So every 20 days I have to drive 40 minutes to have my prescription filled. AND I know you all are wondering "Why" would I just not go get a new one from a Dr. in town.

I HATE DOCTORS!! I do, actually hate is a very stronger word its more like "I am afraid" of Drs. Yep there you have it. Stubborn at its finest... Humm maybe I can find some more new shoes???

Oh and I read this today and laughed... Could you imagine in the US if all you had to do is declare 3 times you wanted a divorce and POOF by law you would be divorced? And this guy did it by text message because his wife did not pick up the phone????
Wow we thought our laws were too easy to get a divorce!
