Anyway, I was cranky before the FOX programming disappointment, apparently. You see, I went to the Mall this evening after work to do a small bit of Holiday Shopping, and was (I think) rude to someone without intending too. Let me know what you think ---
I was walking quickly through the Mall toward my destination (which I can't mention here, because the person who I was buying a gift for reads this here diary and I don't want to give her any hints at all as to what the present is) and as I passed one of those many, many kiosks where you can get cell phones and cell phone plans. This guy working at the kiosk caught my eye and motioned for me to come over. "Come look at the plans," he said, but I kept walking and said "No, thank you, but I already have a cell phone." Which I do. Then he said, "Come on, we'll get you a better cell phone!" in a perfectly reasonable, friendly tone, and in what I think was also a perfectly reasonable, friendly tone, I answered "I doubt that, but thanks anyway" and I kept walking. But then I started wondering if that was rude. Was I being an asshole? I didn't mean to be. I didn't even think about what to say, it just popped out. I did my shopping and pondered it and decided not to walk past that kiosk again.
But then I had a thought that really made me feel like an asshole -- I couldn't decide if I was a jerk to that guy, but I realized at least I could get a diary entry out of it. YES, I AM AN ASSHOLE.
But what I wish I had really said was when he said he'd get me a better phone was "bitch, you don't know my cell phone!!" Because, you know, heh.
