| Walking the shopping centre emotional gauntlet |
| Wednesday, December 06, 2006 |
A visit to the local shopping centre these days is this emotional cavalcade for me. Every time I go, I'm walking an increasingly treacherous gauntlet through marketers who want to sell me gym memberships, cricket raffle tickets, massages ...
But it's the ones who want to sign me up for a monthly donation to [insert worthy charity here], which makes it a walk of guilt for me.
I start at the beginning of the gauntlet thinking 'be strong, it's okay to say no'. But they are getting sneaky in their smiley efforts to make me stop. Today I got: "hello beautiful girl" I mean who can say no to that? A. he said I was beautiful. B. he said I was a GIRL. |
