REALLY? I mean REALLY?

Time to rant..Okay not like rant the way I want to because after all this is a blog and once it is out there it is there forever and ever and ever..I know even after it is deleted those super uber smarty pants can hurl it back in my face decades later and say look at what you said back in 2011...  Oh wait this is not even what I want to rant about.

I am ranting over the not funny people in second hand retail stores and smarty pants teenage daughters. 
The little gal who smiles at me and takes the box of my gently used clothing to give me a few quick $ and rake in profit to her store.  I opt to do this over a garage sale because people steal things at mine! That is another rant all on it's own I don't think you want to read about...how dare a person rob me of my low priced but wonderful and useful items I am willing to almost give you.. GEEZE

Keep in mind here I swore these places off after my last experience with them when I was told my clothing was stained (no it was not I checked) outdated (slightly scared because it came out of my closet I dress out of daily) and worn (it is a USED store).  They bought nothing at all that time and I swore them off and vowed not to return.  That was until today. 

See, my darling daughter and I cleaned out my closet the other day and she LOL so hard she could not breath.  Like she was to the point of tears and gasping for air rolling on the floor at a few of my items.  So I thought well I will show her. These are fashionable and just not what I am into any more.  I will take them in boxes and they will rave at my choices in dress.  They will buy over half the stuff in here.  I KNOW IT!  I even smile a little knowing they will want the dress my doll of a kid said looked like it was covered in Vag---'s, at this point I am starting to think was the word of the wk for her. 

I walk in and after the gal greets me I hand over the boxes and look around feeling even better about my delivered goods because my stuff is WAY better.  Some of it has identical twins actually even hanging in front of me So I know they will buy that.... 10 minutes later I am called back to the front of the store.
ONE item... Yup one. (not the dress either dag nab it) Told me that the clothing was out dated and a little to old in style for them. I raise an eyebrow to this. By old in style you mean not of this yr. right. She says no like more the wrong dept. We buy more hip/trendy attire. 

I thank her and take my $4 for the jacket that I will have you know did come out of the ladies dept. and sulk off to my SUV with 2 full boxes.

I stand there looking at the 'old' items.  They are from very hip and trendy stores in the big city! Promise! All of them, I made sure of it because I was so not gonna let my daughter tell me they where not Kool. Those little voice's all start chirping at once.  Starting with the...Well you are getting older.... You had your teen age child help you pick the must go things, and you are shocked they didn't buy them, DUH!   Seriously if you thought they where wear worthy then why are they in the box??  If you think they are fine to wear take them home and wear them!  Again the final voice wins...Sort of.

I take all but 4 items and record them..Place the recorded items in the boxes again, and drive up the road a few yards hand them to the man and say donation slip please.  He happily hands it to me as I drive away thinking last smirk on me. At least there is a tax write off! 

I will how ever re-tell my sad tale to the daughter who will most likely laugh and laugh at me.  But, I will get that last laugh in when I show up to her Choir Concert in 3 weeks time in the Vag--- Dress :)

Ahhh. the rant helped. Hope you got a giggle!  Now off to do the for mentioned DVD's in my old & not stylish attire!
