So my mum doesn't eat chocolate, is very particular about books and music and LOATHS flowers. That's why it takes me forever to find her the perfect Mother's Day present that I think she'll like.
I was out late night shopping tonight, going from store to store in an attempt to find something that I could present to mum on Sunday and was having no luck. Everything looked tacky, had flowers on it, was exorbitantly over priced or just not "right". As a last ditch effort I went into JB HiFi to see if I could grab her some sort of movie gift pack or something.
Firstly, NEVER go to JB HiFi at Riverlink on a late night shopping night. You may just lose your life.
Secondly, if you have issues about personal space, NEVER go to JB HiFi at Riverlink on a late night shopping night.
I was squished into between two people who have not be introduced to soap or deodorant in a very long time, looking at older movies to see if there was something for Mother Dearest. I was reaching out to have a look at a movie, it had Audrey Hepburn in it, when the lady next to me said "Back off that's mine [insert bad word here]!" Well a little shocked, I politely told this woman that she wasn't holding the DVD so I had the right to buy it. When the man next to me snatched the DVD and gave it to the woman, I think my mouth may have it the floor. He said a few choice words, which I won't repeat, took the woman's hand and walked away. All while I stood there and watched.
Are people really THAT rude?! Please, comment or send me an email. I want to know. How can a DVD cause two people to act in that way?
On the drive home, I promptly walked out of the store after that encounter, I decided to take my mum out to lunch instead of getting her something this year, it seems like a safer option.
I feel like this entry needs a little bit of brightening up, so here is my favourite song with the word "Momma" in it's title.
