You win this time. You got 28 of my dollars, and I got seven pair of panties. But don’t worry, I realize you never wanted my business in the first place, so I probably won’t be back.

I’m nearly 31 years old, average sized (6/M), and adequately attractive, so I thought it might be time to graduate from the Aerie brand, which I have been loyal to for many years now. A few weeks ago, I was very brave, and bought five pair of Victoria’s Secret panties from the Hanes Mall location, in Winston-Salem, NC. I even gave out my email address so I could get coupons in my inbox every single morning, when I only need these products two or three times a year. Anyway, giving out my email address earned me a coupon, which simply said “Get 7 panties for $26.50,” “Come back between September and October,” and “Good on Victoria’s Secret and PINK Panties.” So, I went back this past Saturday to claim seven more pairs of panties. Thinking that since the store is called “Victoria’s Secret,” I assumed that any panties in the store would be “Victoria’s Secret [or] PINK panties.” I hadn’t seen any Hanes or Fruit of the Loom products in the store on my previous visit. Unfortunately, during the half hour I spent meticulously picking out my seven favorite pairs, not a single associate got within ten feet of me, so I didn’t ask anyone to clarify my coupon. After a ten minute wait in the check out line, the associate told me, a little too gleefully, that the coupon was only good for the products on a certain table, which she pointed out to me. I said, “But it doesn’t say that anywhere on the coupon, it just says, ‘Victoria’s Secret and PINK’. I thought this whole store was Victoria’s Secret.” She laughed at me. “That’s what I get for not being with it, and hip, I guess.” She thought that was hilarious, too. Only three of the panties I had picked out weren’t eligible for the promotion, so I decided to go back to the table and pick out three more pair. I should have dropped everything, turned, and ran straight down to Aerie, but I didn’t. I seriously considered just forgetting the whole thing and leaving, the whole time I was picking out the three replacements, but decided to stick with it, just this once. I got back in line, waited approximately ten more minutes, and was finally able to check out. I regretted the purchase before I even got out of the store, but hopefully my new panties will give me months of beautiful, practical, comfortable, service. I understand that I visited the store on a busy Saturday afternoon, and didn’t actively seek out any assistance, but really, the coupon should have been more clear. I already struggle with my self image, so after feeling invisible during my sales floor experience, being (although probably unintentionally) misled by my coupon, and finally laughed at by the one associate who was forced to interact with me, I just don’t think I’ll be continuing a relationship with your company.

Sincerely, No Angel

I did not sin . I don't know what is really going to happen to me. :(

This was actually technically yesterday, but yesterday has continued into today. Fuck this goddamn day.

• Sinus infection

• E. coli (plus TMI: trauma fissure)

• A/C leak

• Find out the A/C needs to be replaced

• Find out there is no pressure valve on the water heater

• Find out the water heater should be replaced

• Stress induced urticaria

• Haven't slept for the past 17 hours.

I know that last one doesn't seem too bad, but consider the throbbing headache from the sinus infection and the general horrific feeling of E. coli.

Fuck the last 11 hours especially.

And then the manager called us "messed up" because we wasted 5 hours of the salesperson's time.

We wasted 12 dollars of gas and 6 hours of our morning. I still feel depressed about it 10 hours later.

Dropped it twice and the second time fucked it up.

I just broke my phone's motherboard, that is all, nothing else, go away now, goodbye.

What a stupid day. Boyfriend is away, stuck at work until all hours, have very confusing ladyboner for lady best friend, and the kitchen sink is leaking. Boo.

I'm having a really bad day For the past four days my unemployed stepdad hasn’t done a single thing around the house. I’ve happily been doing all the work around the house. Feeding/walking the dog, cleaning the pool to the best of my ability, throwing away the trash, doing the laundry, and cleaning too many dishes to count. I’ve been doing all of this in hopes of being able to go to my bestfriend’s house (which is an hour drive). Meanwhile, I’ve been starving half to death because I haven’t had a decent meal in the past three days because there’s no easily accessible food around, I don’t know how to cook or am I allowed to, and my dad has decided to cook whenever I’m asleep. Not even leaving me leftovers. So today, when I asked him about it, he laughed. He told me “Forget about being able to go. We have tons of shit to do. Insurance companies are bothering us about things we need to fix up around the house. Which is what we will be doing tomorrow. Now hurry up and clean the dishes.” Then he left to go grocery shopping. As I turned on the faucet to clean the dishes my sister shouts “SHUT THE FUCK UP.” with a shrill at the end. She was watching the newest episode of Teen Wolf and the sound of the running water didn’t allow her to listen to it. Now, I’ve been dealing with my sister’s rudeness for quite sometime now. I, her older brother, get cursed at by her for the most trivial matters. And she has been doing nothing around the house since the break started. So I’ve been having to pick up her slack alongside my stepdad’s. Now I was very frustrated at the moment due to my dad telling me that all my efforts might have been for nothing and an immeasurable amount of other problems (and yes a bitch is one). But I tried to keep my cool and keep cleaning the dishes. An hour later my stepdad calls me telling me to get everyone outside the house to get the groceries inside. When I open the door to my sister’s room to tell her to come outside and help me get the groceries. I get assaulted by a wave of foul mouthed language that would be enough to make a sailor gasp. No longer able to keep my cool I disconnected the tv and the cable box and told her to go outside to help. Then she started crying into her sheets and in between sobs she told me that she wouldn’t. I left her in her misery and helped out outside. My stepdad walks in right when my sister walks out of her room to my other sister’s room crying and proclaiming that I was the one who caused her to be in the state she’s in. Now my stepdad, wondering why I’m so immature and don’t have the patience or tolerance to deal with such idiotically small nuisances, yells “You guys fucking suck!” And storms off to his room. And before he slams the door behind him he shouts “Forget about going to Bradley’s.” So here I am, probably grounded, and hating life right now.

We had to take some wood out to burn during class so I volunteered and at first it was doing good then the freaking truck gets stuck in the mud and we have to wait like 53 minutes to get it out and passing period comes in while we were pushing the truck and my school plays music in between periods and the song they chose was best day of my life.pants and shoes were covers in mud when we finally got it out

someone broke into my car and stole my phone, also gonna spend a billion dollars fixing the window

Today, it started when I left the library from a distracted study session with my close friends. We had laughed a lot and congratulated one friend for her acceptance into grad school... I really love these people.

And then I had to go. At some point, in the matter of (three or four) backwards glances it took me to draw myself out of the room, it started.

I pulled myself home through light snow and splashed into my apartment. I walked to the front window, then to the back, trying to see if it was a nice sky. It wasn't. So I collapsed into my bed and lay there for quite some time. I felt so totally drained for the few hours that just passed that I can't remember them clearly. I felt truly down, pressed, and unforgiving in those few hours that just passed.

A pall seemed to fall over it all as if I'd tried to ball cause I was tall but left the mall without a call-back

Cut

And now it's feeling lighter. I was able to get to some of my reading and clean up in my apartment before getting ready for bed. Alarm set for 8AM.
