Woooooooooooooooo!
$45 wellllllllllllllll spent! My teenage brother came up and mowed lawn and painted Rainee's bedroom. Its just been the drywall that Rob put up a coons-age ago. I can't stand long enough to paint, and Rob HATES painting. *snicker*
So now she has a lovely clean room. And I have a lovely weed-free yard again. *cheers*
Of course I had to have one little fly in the ointment. IT took me 25 minutes of waiting at Walmart to pick up the second gallon of paint. I mis-guessed and had to go get a wee bit more. So went to town and waited.
It took 8 minutes for the paint guy to even show to his counter. And there was another woman in front of me, plus the guy he was already helping. She wanted 5 gallons of oil based specially mixed (as in computer matched) paint. This took ten? fifteen? minutes. The next guy only wanted 10 gallons of specially mixed paint. This takes another fifteen. And I'm entertaining five kids the whole time.
So five minutes before that guy is done another lady wanders in. The Walmart guy finishes and turns to her. "What can I do for you?" he inquires.
Wild pregnant lady freaks. "Umm, excuse me, I've been waiting for 25 minutes and I only need one gallon of paint. She just got here." I stated very calmly.
The Walmart guy wigs out. "I'm just trying to help everybody so you can all get out of here." he says in a snarly voice.
I took several deep breathes and didn't say a word. Just stared at him and handed him my paint card. "I need this," HE did it very very quickly, and never even showed me the color to make sure it matched. Fortunately when it got home it did...or then I woulda gotten snarly.
Cause whatever woulda come outa my mouth after that woulda been evil incarnate.
Woulda loved to been a big old black draggie for five minutes. Pictures myself breathing fire down the guys back.
Oh and the lady who'd waited five minutes????? She got mad and left.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
to her
I just feel so so sorry for you.
You want my five kids? You can go first then.
*snicker*
I feel better now.

{{{{hug}}}} i'm glad it looks good.
heeheeheeheee Oh, can I be a fly on the wall if that happens again, PLEASE.
:sunny:
I'm glad you stood up for yourself. She obviously knew that you were right but was too full of herself to just patiently wait. I'd have reported the guy to the manager...which you still can do. There's no excuse for that behavior, especially to a pregnant woman. The jerk.
