Being Grrl.

P&G has become about $4 richer, tonight. (unfortunately)

Long story short; I found myself in a situation where I absolutely COULD NOT get out of my car at 1:00am, on the way home from work. Thank goodness for 24 hour CVS pharmacies with drive up windows!

I was in a bad state and the only thing I could think of was to go to the CVS's window and ask the pharmacy tech for some supplies. As I pulled up, I noticed the only person on duty was a man. Too bashful to yell out "I NEED MAXI PADS!" in the dead of night, I wrote a note on the back of a fast food bag. It read "Please help! I need maxi pads and I can't get out of my car! :(" (I made the frowny face as pitiful as I possibly could)

The guy looked at the note, looked at me, looked back at the note, looked back at me; the whole time, I'm giving him the best pitiful doe-eyed look I could muster. I could see the sweat on his brow as the gears turned in his head, as if he was thinking "What the HELL do I get her?!" He gave me a sheepish grin and disappeared. Five minutes later, he came back with a pack of Always over night pads (with wings). Not exactly what I had in mind, but at that point, I didn't care. I thanked him, paid him and sped off into the dark night with my spoils. I can only imagine the stories he's telling. Maybe he'll blog about it...

I am happy to report that "Have a happy period" is written NOWHERE on this package or the pads, that I can find. I can't stop laughing about the whole thing.
