So, we went to the mall a few weeks ago looking for a new hat for Brandon. While we were walking through one of the people working at the Dead Sea booth jumped us. We had just been talking about not looking directly at anyone because we were in a rush and we just always end up telling people no...
We were just too nice to say no, so we stopped. She did the whole spiel, and then tried to get us to buy the product. She even threw in a buy one set get one free just to entice us even more. Brandon had been wondering what to get his mom for her birthday so we bought it for her, but then the girl just kept pushing another set on us for a Valentine's present for me. Finally, we got away and laughed all the way to Macy's.
This whole experience reminded me of a time when my mom was in town and we were in the mall. We got stopped at the same booth and my mom was too nice to say no and ended up purchasing a nail set for her and one for me. She flew home that day and forgot that the set had lotion in it, didn't check her bag, and the lotion was thrown out the same day she bought it.
We are clearly just too nice to tell people no and therefore we end up buying things that we either hadn't planned, in the case of Brandon and I, or didn't need, my mom and I. Oh boy!
Haha. That's kind of funny. Tyler's the opposite. He's not afraid to tell them no, and a little bit more. I, on the other hand, walk past staring at the ground, mostly because of the things Tyler says.
