Decided to go to Boots after work with a colleague to buy this recommended skin care. When we walked in the store they said they wanted to look at the make up ..., they then proceeded to have a 25 minute demonstration on how to contour. I was bored to tears.

We then left the store and they didn't have a bag so ask me to put their shopping in my bag and their full flask of water.

I was secretly seething ... am I the unreasonable one though?

Were you tied to her or attached in a way that prevented you from leaving?Grin

Eh?

Yes, doesn't take much to wind you up, does it?

Well we live near each other so walk the same way and he knew I wasn't doing anything tonight ... so would have felt rude saying well cya then!

You were right to be secretly seething, who the hell does that!!!!

jarhead123 · 14/07/2017 22:58

Couldn't you just have said you'll have a wander while she has her make up done?!

Trb17 · 14/07/2017 22:59

I'd hand just said, when they sat down for the full consultation, "if you're staying for this I'm gonna head off coz I'll be bored waiting. See you tomorrow!" ... and left. Easy.

You're seething because you should have been more assertive.
It wouldn't have been rude to say, 'I'll head off now- see you tomorrow.'

Not sure what traits you are talking about, but agree with everyone else - why not just say "Oh, if you are staying for that I'm not really interested so I'll head off. See you tomorrow." ? Confused

Good for him for making the effort to learn to apply his makeup properly. So many people get it wrong. I think you could have found something else to look at.

But she's never seen the ocean?

LolaTheDarkdestroyer · 15/07/2017 00:15

Why didn't you just fuck off and look at soap and glory shit or something, and as for the flask tell them to get fucked.

raspberrysuicide · 15/07/2017 00:17

You are angry because someone put their shopping and water bottle into your bag and you had to carry it...?

LoniceraJaponica · 15/07/2017 00:20

Is your colleague male or female? It isn't relevant but this person seems to change sex in every post Grin

Flofferton · 15/07/2017 00:20

People who seethe over trivial shit like this baffle me.

So yeah, that is an annoying trait you have. Next time wander off and do your own thing! 💡
