The Lady At Jo Ann Fabrics

[Homicidalheathen]

At my choice of bottons!!!

Yup. I got snubbed for buying I suppose what would be to some, satanic looking bottons.

You know what? If ya don't like it, don't work there. Its not called 'the christain fabric store'

I got black chesire kittie heads.....pentagrams......and goat heads in stars.

And she seemed to get mad! She took a good long hard look at them first and copped an attitude with me!

Hell I am doing a good thing by buying a used coat at S A and putting my own buttons on it.....I saved room in the landfill and in my wallet.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

it might not have anything to do with satanism... maybe she just thought what you were buying was stupid and childish

Or maybe she was pissed you got them before she did...

or maybe, she's just a bitch.

HA!

I was thinking the same thing....

[sass_in_the_pants]

Super weird.

I sewed my baby girls dresses out of fabric with skulls all over it and the lady at Jo-Ann fabrics was all like 'That sounds adorable!'

And certainly satanic buttons should be sold at someplace more exotic than joann fabrics...

[creatureofthenyte]

anytime someone gawks at you for what you choose to look like, tell them to take a picture, it lasts longer!

[Homicidalheathen]

That does sound adorable. They have such awesome prints nowadays.

I love that saying. Once I walked into an Ace Hardware while sporting garb and make-up and the lady wouldnt stop staring at me!

Teehee...it was! I should post the pics!

[wormsinwombs]

OMG they have goat buttons!? I need to go there.

Maybe it had been a shitty day...it may not be right but you sometimes cant help but be bitchy some days.

cryptickisses who used to frequent this forum once told a tale how someone asked her "if she'd found god" or something along the lines when she worked in a fabric store.

*sigh* another ex DGNer i wouldn't mind knowing if their safe and well

You should see the ladies at Jo-Ann's when I got get all the stuff to start my hair falls.

I've gone up to the register, and start pulling stuff out of the basket:

Yarn.

Elastic.

Ribbions.

Rope.

Chains.

The lady looked at me and said, "so, what are you making?"

Me:"I make yarn hair falls."

Her: "with all this stuff?"

Me: "Not so much, I have still have to add the lights."

Her: ".......oh. Well.... that's, um, nice"

One of these days, I'll tell them: "You obviously failed Finishing School. You forget that it's RUDE TO STARE"

Hehehe I like to make up stories for that inevitable "what are you making" question. One time I was buying lace and told the cashier my daughter was in a school play and she was supposed to appear in a strapless dress and there was no way MY daughter was going on stage with bare shoulders, no siree, so I was making her a shawl.

Isn't it funny what we lie about? I bought some flannel on clearance to make cloth diaper wipes (we use cloth diapers, might as well use cloth wipes too) and I picked out all of these really cute patterns - I almost felt bad that it was just going to wipe butts so when the lady asked me what I was going to use it for I said a quilt.

I don't know why, but I thought it might hurt her feelings to know that such cute fabric would spend most of its life covered in poop.

Those buttons are awesome! They look really good on the red. A button on my coat popped off and i have no clue how to sew it back on. I am thinking of paying a taylor to do it. You are so lucky you can sew.

[Head Wreck]

buttons are easy.

i'm finding sewing buttons on a very common task now as button sewing machines never knot the buttons, one aukward tug and the button thread just unravels.

Sewing buttons is easy, having to resew a neck seam and keep the shirt inside the folded seam edge is harder but I saved 2 shirts for my niece being able to do it. Yes I can hand sew, now to learn pattern sewing and I am going to make her a cape.

I make earings out of buttons The ones that you picked out sound very interesting. But I never had a lady stare me down before.. Maybe she was mad because she just can't pull off the Goth Look anymore, sometimes Gravity is the Enemy.

[Miranda]

Usually a one word response is all I need to give rude people: Problem?? That woman needs to take it up with her employer if she has issues about what they sell there. If she is so against it, she shouldn't work there.

hahaha

I was thinking something along the same lines....

People are SO RUDE in what they say!

If you think that is bad...try having a waitress ask you (in front of your NEW BOYFRIEND ON YOUR 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY) if instead of the burger and fries you ordered....

Wait for it....

"Oh, well...um, hun, don't you think that you should be eatin a salad instead???"

Needless to say I shot that bitch a withering look, and she got this as a tip from me.

I left her two cents, and wrote on the check...

"just returning the favor..."

Hopefully that taught her to keep her fat trap shut!

umm...how do you have a 1-year anniversary with a new boyfriend?

[mrs~chi~vious]

I am an "Old Timer" the relationship qualifys as "new" to me if it has been UNDER 5 years.

Trust me on this...we have been together ALMOST 15 years now, and sometimes, he still surprises me!

Something similar to this happened to me. Me and Dani were at a resteraunt and one waitress refussed to serve our table because she said we were "Freaks" and the waitress they sent in her place kept giving us dirty looks and she said some very rude thing to Dani...I'm not going to post wut she said here cuz it's not my business to tell...but trust me when I say I kinda wated to punch her in the face for the things she said. She didn't even get 2 cents from me. Nope nothing notta.

HILARIOUS!

once upon a long time ago, i was on my way to cc and got in a minor accident. the other car pulled into a parking lot, and i pulled in after. seeing the grumpy middle aged woman peering at her car, i hustled over to see if she was okay. she took one look at me, her eyes got big, she swore that everything was fine, and she drove away!

i was a little puzzled.

then i looked down at myself...

black vinyl corset, long black skirt, combat boots...

add the requisite eye makeup and dark lipstick...

i never knew i could be scary!
