Crazy Eperiences - I

In my constant endeavor to beat the heat in the desert, I had planned to get myself a nice pair of sunglasses. Now when I say 'nice sunglasses' I mean the Ray - Ban Aviator Sunglasses! Now any guy who has watched the movie Top Gun would love to own an Aviator. They are a classic piece of work!

And so with high spirits, a cashed up wallet and a spring in my step, I checked out a couple of stores but nothing prepared me for what happened next.

I got into a store and the salesperson and I greeted each other! This is was how the conversation went:

SP: How may I help you?

Me: I would like to check out a couple of Ray - Ban Sunglasses. (All Smiles)

SP: Yeah, we have a couple of models here. Which one are you looking for?

Me: Well, I want the Aviator model. Would you happen have that?

SP: You want that for this face?

(Ok, now I am not saying she was a racist but I had no clue what that meant. That spring in my step faded instantly! So back to my conversation,)

Me: What is that supposed to mean?

(after a little hesitation she answered)

SP: I meant your face is a little small.

Me (talking in my head) : What the #$%!!!#$%@#!#@#%$$@#$#@!@#!@#@#$#@$!#!@!!!!!!
I wish someone had taken a photograph of my face at that moment cause I've been trying to figure out what it must have looked like. But I am sure I would've been able to give Jim Carrey a run for his money! So around now it it was pretty evident that I wasn't gonna purchase the sunglass from the store and leaving with whatever dignity I had left seemed like the best option!


Me: Thanks for your time! I'll come back in another year or two!



Now I think i know why people prefer to get most of this stuff online! Its cheaper and it doesn't sting! (phew!)
