may the earth swallow me whole

so funny story, today i went to the mall to return one
pair of flipflops i bought that i thought would go
with a dress and didn't. (one pair looked great so
we have a winner) anyway i stopped into the bathroom
in the food court and then walked to am. eagle
outfitters to return the shoes. i'm standing in line
at the place and this tiny gay guy employee walks up
to me and says "oh honey, you've got a bit of t.p.," i
look down at my shoe and there was a toliet paper
trail of about 10 squares long stuck to the bottom of
my shoe!!!! the guy reaches down to pull it loose but
3 squares remain securely behind. so he grabs again
and one square stays behind.

MORTIFIED!!!!!

finally i say, oh thanks don't worry about it. and
then have to stand there in line for another 10
minutes dying on the inside while waiting to return
the damn shoes with one square attached to my shoe. i
tried to look like i had completely forgotten all
about it the moment the guy walked away, but everyone
in line totally heard our conversation and i swear
they kept looking at my feet!!!

i had to wait until i left the store, hid kind of
behind a pillar and picked the rest of it off.
GROSS!!!

anyway thought you all might be entertained...

Hey, be glad he said something! Imagine all those teeny boppers in the mall laughing at the (almost) 30 year old lady with t.p. stuck to her shoe!

He He! Glad I could help add some (more) levity.

I hope you had a wonderful Easter.

i was stuck in a similar "sticky" situation at oregano's once, but oddly, there was also a very kind "tiny gay guy" to help me out.

my thoughts about it were that if there hadn't been toilet paper on *their* bathroom floor, then i wouldn't have had a problem.

it's all their fault. ;-)
