Have you ever been assaulted by someone in a shopping mall kiosk trying to sell you cream, cheap jewelry, cell phones, newspaper subscriptions, Dead Sea something, etc.?
I found a recent tactic displayed by a hair care product company very invasive...if you can even call it a tactic. Walking along, minding my own business (and trying desperately to appear interested in something far, far away), I was aggressively approached by a non-smiling woman who said in a very forceful tone, "What HAIR CARE products do you use?"It was a little personal for me. And very annoying. In retrospect, here are the top 5 answers I wish I had on the tip of my tongue:
- Rid Lice/ Rid Flea
- I'll trade you an answer for the assurance you won't say anything else to me, including "but--"
- What kinds of FEMININE products do you use?
- Look. What do you want from me? I'm just going to lay it out for you. "No."
- I have a raging case of herpes. Is that okay?
What do you do in these situations? In a way, I feel bad for them. Business sucks everywhere. But I just don't like this kind of approach.

how about "ITS A FRIGGEN WIG, I LOST MY HAIR IN/TO (enter how ever graphic you want to be) LONG AGO"
lol
some more bon mots retorts!
1. I don't know. Something for pubic hair. How about you?
2. Oh you mean for this old thing? This is actually the hair of my dead great-grandmother grafted to my head.
3. Thanks but I don't believe in washing my hair. It's kind of like a cast iron pot. I just wipe it and let it "season." rl
How about...
"I wouldn't use ANYTHING sold at a KIOSK on my naturally curly red hair."
