Adventures in last minute christmas shopping

         I got Ashton her damned zhu zhu pet after spending the wee hours of the morning in line at Walmart, sandwiched between my mother and the most annoying man in the world. This guy, who's name I never bothered to get, had been the one solitary customer in the zhu zhu line when my mother and I stumbled in at 4:30 am. He had been there, drinking his redbulls, since mid-night. And he was very excited to see real live people for the first time all night.

       After getting lawn chairs out of the sporting goods section for my mother and myself, (really, very thoughtful), he proceeded to tell us both about his love of hunting and camping. He was very disappointed that I wasn't really a camper. He told us for whom he was hoping to get a zhu zhu pet. He told us that his power drinks taste like melted skittles, that he only buys his clothes at wal-mart, what bars he and his friends like to hang out at and a miriaid of stories that may or may not have been true. (I had never met anyone who drove his subaru through a pond ).

     My mom and I tried to be polite and even friendly at first, but when he turned his chair toward mine in order to get closer to our conversations, we were thoroughly annoyed. This presumptuous asshole even nudged my knee with his foot at one point during the wait in order to get my complete attention! One last ditch attempt at not being lonely for Christmas I guess, but a total waste of energy nonetheless.

    When the zhu zhu pets were finally put out, I couldn't be more happy to make my selection and get the heck out of there. Unfortunately, getting rid of my new friend was not so easy. This, the most annoying person in the world, followed my mother and I through the store to the cash registers asking our opinions on other gift ideas.

   Yeah, Merry Christmas now please, go away, douch!
