I See You Need
Rushing into nail salon…
Me: “Hi! I don’t have a lot of time but I was hoping I could get a quick–”
Nail lady: “Yes, yes I see you need eyebrow wax.”
Me: “…back massage.”
I’m Not
I tried a new nail salon that just opened up on my block, so the lovely owner gave me the hard sell (in slightly broken English)….
Owner: “We give you 20% off today. And you tell your friends about us? I see you live in neighborhood!”
Me: “I do! But how can you tell?”
Owner: “You carry the Starbuck drink and you wear the clothes for going to gym.”
Me: “Ha! You’re right! I am heading to the gym!”
I’m not. These are my regular clothes.
