BAH! i am so pissed i shall blog about it.
This is whatever that happened.
This guy came knocking at my door.
I opened it and gosh some sissy was there which totally freaked me out.
"Hi, are you the only adult here?"
"I am ACTUALLY not an adult yet."
"Oh, actually, I am a poly graduate promoting my product. I am actually an entrepreneur."
I gave the "right...again,,," look.
"So, you must have just come home from school right?"
I LIED. "YES"
"Must be from Manjusri?"
I replied with the GOTOHELL tone, "NO!"
From then on, I was grossed out by him.
"As youngsters, you must have seen this before right?"
and so he hands out a pink quadrilateral box with no labels or anything on it.
AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
"No?", i said.
"OHHH, it's a nail buffer,"
BANGS MY HEAD AGAINST THE WALL. SO A PINK BOX IS A NAIL BUFFER. WOAHHH, I CAN USE THE TISSUE BOX TO BUFF MY NAILS UNTIL BLING BLING WOR!
"ok...", i said in some couldnt-give-a-damn way.
I intercepted him and said, "I don't think anyone in my family would find any use for it, we have 4 males cohabiting here."
"Right, and I just saw your mum."
"My mum doesnt use such things."
"Can you just ask her here for a second?"
CAN SOMEONE KILL HIM PLEASE?
My mum further explained that she is the only female in the house and she finds no use for it.
He then explained that even GUYS use it and that its not only for beautification but also for hygiene.
"It rids the dead skin off!"
WOW, do you not know that the entire nail is comprised of dead skin? YOU MIGHT AS WELL TEAR YOUR WHOLE NAIL OFF!
"It also kills germs."
ROFLMAO! Nail buffers that kill germs! After you buff your nails, wear a glove or something, coz when you place the buffer on the table and accidently touches the table's front, you get germeified again. Oh wait, while wearing the glove, you already got germified. I mean like, germs are omnipresent, and can someone explain to me how buffing your nails, and not washing your hands, actually kills germs?!
Finally, my mum, out of her guilt and pity for this desperate guy, bought one for $7. 1stly, you called me an overaged adult, then you assumed i come from Manjusri, then, you made me feel stupid coz i cant tell that a pink box is a nail buffer, then you seriously thought that a 1-woman household has great use for a anti-bacterial nail buffer, and lastly, as the product propagator, you did not know that nails are organised dead cells thats why you can use a penknife and scratch it and dont feel a thing.
GOSH, KILL HIM! Entrepreneur?! DO SOME MARKET RESEARCH OR SOMETHING SO THAT YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT NAILS. AND THIS GUY CANT COMMUNICATE CORRECTLY. You dont assume that a pure and innocent child like me is an aged adult, and dont quote a not-so-good school for me coz when i tell you my JC, which although i may not be particularly proud to be in, i am pretty sure it will startle you. AND TRY APPROACHING GUYS ON ORCHARD ROAD AND ASK THEM TO BUY NAIL BUFFERS FOR PERSONAL USE. I have never heard of one guy who uses some anti-pathogenic nail buffer. I mean, when people see my blingbling nails, they will exclaim "QIHAO, YOU BUFF YOUR NAILS AH?!" in some astonished accent which implied that normal guys dont buff nails. I personally dont, and dont see why i should, unless i become some celebrity of something.
IF anyone of you guys buff your nails, i am sorry to offend you. But if you do, please tell me: is it for beautifying purposes or for hygiene. We all have the right to be vain and i dont condemn that. BUT for better hygiene? ASHIKIN - you need to teach me bio again coz i failed to recognise that buffing dead cells = improved hygiene.
Sentence of the day - "LEARN YOUR WORDS AS A SERVICE PROVIDER"
I still cant get over the adult and Manjusri thing.
