That’s What I Said

October 2, 2009 By Dusty Rogers 17 Comments

“This isn’t my first time on the playground.”

Said by me to the over-eager Home Depot employee who stalked me in the paint aisles, wrongly assuming I had no clue what I was doing.

    That’s awesome! One time I stopped by Home Depot after shopping in a dress in heels. I have never in my life been stopped by so many people asking if I needed help. “No thanks, just grabbing a 2 1/4 bit for my power drill to install the door knobs I recently purchased.” One guy actually said “You have a power drill?”

    Love it!! I’m in the process of choosing new flooring, and there is nothing worse than somebody looking over my shoulder as I go around and around and around and around on my decisions…..

    Bwa ha ha! How little he knows šŸ˜‰

    My personal favorite is “this isn’t my first rodeo”.

    Have a great weekend, D!

    The paint guys at Home Depot lately have been weird. The other day, I asked them if they could add a bit more white to a particular color to lighten it up a hair (this was obviously before the paint had been mixed). The guy said, “No, I definitely can’t do that! If I add more white to the mix, the paint will run off your walls like water! It won’t even stick!”

    I just raised my eyebrow at him and went to Ace instead, where they were happy to make the color lighter!

    Hilarious! I would totally say the same thing. Hardware store staff need to forget the stereo types. If we were lost in their big bad store, we would ask for help. Afterall we aren’t men šŸ˜‰

    Take care,
    Lisa

    haha! That’s awesome. My hubby works at a local hardware store comparable to home depot, so everyone there knows that if I’m there for something, I know what I’m doing. :)

    Classic! I hate store employee’s that stalk you when shopping. Sometimes when they see a woman at Home Depot or Lowe’s they think we’re clueless.

    @Ashley–OMG, that’s hilarious! Great story!

    @Jenny–I totally agree. I like to take my time. And that includes not having an audience!

    @Jen M–Yep, that’s exactly what I was doing! šŸ˜€

    @Meredith–That’s so weird that they didn’t do that for you. That guy must’ve been a newbie.

    @Cari–I agree. I hate that. Same thing happens at car dealerships. Ugh!
