Maybe you were just doing your job, but I think we clicked. Who knew that a simple debate over which rain coat I should buy could turn into a great conversation?
You were not only super helpful, but funny, interesting, and cute – you even got my random sarcastic jokes that most people never seem to understand. Thanks for making my day. I really hope to run into you sometime when you’re off duty and we can really be silly together! —”Hydrofoil vs. Watershed”

You know its a tuffy, so many choices…but you know in the mess, there’s a jacket just for you. Surely the guy who helped you was doing his job, but maybe had to put just a little extra in there, who doesn’t love random sarcasm? I think a debate over rain coats is the perfect setting for the start of something lovely. Here’s to hoping you can find this helpful someone again, on or off duty!
uh… I don’t like random sarcasm….
duh…
🙂
Well obviously not…duh. Way too innapropriate and totally uncool. But rain jackets are way cool!
de, do, do, do, de, da, da da!
oh, rainjackets are tooooooottally cool….
I often wake up and think to myself… is today a good enough day to warrant buying a rain jacket?
ya know, some days it is just too crappy but then those glowing days come through and I spring out of bed to lavish in the glorious fact that it’s just one of those rainjacket buying days again….
and my heart glows on the inside, radiating with pure emotion that I will be trying on a plethora of swishy and/or swanky rainjackets soon…
so ya, rude sarcasm
Totally cool and very rude.
Trying on things is sometimes just way too exciting, never knowing if a purchase will ever be made – if that right one will fit perfectly. But the promise of those gleaming rain repellant garments flying across the store one after the other is sometimes hard to pass up. If only getting groceries was that exhilerating, boring food and such. Maybe if we didn’t need to make an effort to search through all racks and mounds. What if that rainjacket picked you out of all the rest, your glowing heart and unavoidable true emotion captivating it as soon as you walked in….
psshh, sarcasm is for looosers. 😉
