Cruel Cruel Me

My company had an event at the mall yesterday. Like any other public event, there had to be giveaways.
Freebies come in, my manners go out.
After almost being run over by a crowd of 600 people, I lost my nerves.
I also lost my humanity.
There was a half blind/deaf man in the crowd, he kept on asking me for a goody bag, I had a strict policy, I asked him to wait in the line or hang around till the main attraction was over.
I don't know where the guy went, but he came later on when all the giveaways were over.
And he kept on pointing to his hearing aid. I got so furious at this guy.
How could he use his disability to gain people's sympathy? How could he treat himself this way? I was treating him as an equal , and there he was asking to be treated differently. He wanted me to feel sorry for him, when I was dignifying him !

Yet I feel miserable about the whole situation

Your Mailbox is Full



My PostSecret books are here. I think I am becoming obsessed with other people's secrets.
The sticker on the package was kinda funny, especially when you read it in Arabic: Qanooneyan !!!
One thing worth mentioning is that the shipping service at Amazon has never been better! You receive your order within 10 days !!
