When I need help, I ask for it. But it's usually when I'm at my wits end about deciding on something to do, buy, say, etc.
If that's mean, I'm sorry. And of course the situation varies.
But one instance in particular:
I gave in to my urge to go to Barnes & Noble to buy Twilight. For the longest time I stood at the table that had all the Twilight Series books piled high — hardcover and paperback. My dilemma was...hardcover or paperback, should I just buy the first one or two? Me, being the indecisive person that I am, probably stood there for a good 15 minutes. This attracted some attention from the sales associate who asked if I needed any help. I simply told her, "No thank you. I'm just deciding on paperback or hardcover."
...She then felt the need to explain to me the difference between the two, and why I would choose one over the other. And I thought the whole time, "Did I ask you? Can you please just leave me here with my thoughts?"
But THEN, this random girl that I had felt was following me around when I first came in, chimed in with her thoughts. Seriously. I've learned that the less interested I seem to continue with whatever they keep talking about, the sooner they stop talking. Gosh that sounds so mean. But hey, it's true.
I guess I just like to be left in my own thoughts most of the time when I'm purchasing items. Mom can attest for this. When I moved out here we first went to Target to buy towels. I nearly had a breakdown in the isle trying to decide what color to choose. I finally had to have my mom and Shawn go somewhere else to leave me in my thoughts. I ended up buying tan towels....
...So the sales clerk and random girl eventually got the hint. I chose hardcover (after thorough inspection of cover quality) and bought the first two books in the series.
Paid.
And left.
