When good intentions fail

During the past ten years men have evolved a bit when it comes to process gifts. Gone the days of wrapping a ribbon around a new washer or vacuum cleaner. This is the decade of diamonds and silk.

Certainly there are those who mask their own desires in a nice big screen TV arc loaded it but it is moving from kitsch kitchen, do not you think? We can be a lady for forgiveness here Right?

Trust me, sometimes, the big screen TV is a much desired alternative to some of the things I've witnessed. Take the case of my own parents. Now my pops not to give too hot here, as it has been All Over the jewelry jedi recent years, but what I witnessed during the Christmas holiday shows even the best intentions can end up in the dog house if you're not careful.

My father brave the crowds, chaos in local shopping centers in each season Christmas for my mother to find the perfect piece of jewelry to add to your collection. During his last trip through the mall madness was the victim Secretaries of the predatory center aisle kiosk when he made the biggest mistake the world knows that shop-wide addicts. He made eye contact.

Ladies all know that there are two people who DO NOT make eye contact with the mall. The central kiosk employees and interviewers. I know I probably offended someone here, and that isn't my intention. Each one has to win, I understand. But if you fit one of these two categories in which no doubt have felt the pain of false eyes diverted and telephone calls while desperately trying to hunt for your next victimization .. uh .. client. Friends, I work in sales … I have the right to joke here. I digress.

Once eye contact was made, it was over. "Please sir, try our lotion?" while keeping the bundle almost to launch a glob of whatever you are selling in your hand. My father is never to be rude to a beautiful lady, feeling trapped in the situation forced her and gave her what was supposed to be only a second of your time. Now I was not there to witness the same story, but after listening to the developments of my story parents felt I had to be shared. At some point in the sampling process, the sales woman was able to put my parents Face Cream around your eyes and apparently it or one of their counterparts out of polishing your nails with nail shine buffer trick.

When she finished one eye, and the nail .. that was taken. hook line and sinker. She asked: "What do you think?" His answer … "I think you need to do the other eye" So apparently the product was good. Very good. Good enough that my father felt it necessary to buy for Mom. This is where an already sad story becomes tragic.

Look guys … understand your intentions may be totally pure and think "wow, she is always talking about what you hate the lines around the eyes, and it really works! would love this! "And although you may be right, and the product can be fabulous, all you will read about him is" Oh my god they think I look more "if she is really paranoid could result in" He will leave me for a younger woman, "and you just might find your salad sandwich Chicken a strange tone green with an odor reminiscent of a recent visit to the mall. Leave for her beauty products. We will discover the fountain of youth, or age naturally. However, stay away from these types of gifts.

Luckily my parents have been married for 43 years coming up and a clueless occasional gift with good intentions can be forgiven. Do not count on this being the norm. This is definitely the exception to the rule.
