A TRIP TO VALUE VILLAGE
So I had to find some clothing for my Halloween costume (Borat from Da Ali G Show) and I found myself at "Value Village", which is a second-hand type store. Today though, I learned a valuable lesson...Never leave an article of clothing on the floor at a second-hand store.
I was trying on sportcoats and decided to take my hooded sweatshirt off so I could get a better idea of how the jacket fit. I set it on the floor and was trying on sportcoats. As soon as I turned around I saw a woman picking up my sweatshirt. That led to this exchange...
Me "excuse me, that's my sweatshirt"
Lady "No it's not. I found it first"
Me "well actually It's mine. My last name is on the back of it. I can show you my drivers license if you'd like"
Lady "whatever, I don't want it that badly" (as she throws the sweatshirt back on the floor)
Now my sweatshirt is covered in dust and all kinds of unrecognizable dirt.
Also, I can't help but feel bad when I shop at places like that. I feel like I'm giving the impression that I'm making fun of the people that actually have to shop there. What people don't know is that I ACTUALLY DO have to shop there.
