The girls and I went to the gaming store with Tim yesterday afternoon, he is a frequent customer and sometimes the girls and I tag along. The store doesn't open until noon and since Tim has to be to work at 2 he usually goes in on Friday or Saturday, sometimes he plays for a few hours or just watches or shops.
I know, Tim shopping, it baffles me too.
The store clerks all know Tim by name and since the girls have been in to play with him they are familiar with them as well, I am not as frequent a customer but they know me on sight as Tim's wife. Hey, let's face it, I could be and have been known as worse things.
The store itself is pretty small and it was pretty crowded, a few guys in the back were playing and there were 6 guys or so around the painting table. The shop is lined on either side with merchandise with the gaming tables and painting table in the middle of the store. Tim was looking at the merchandise next to the gaming table and I was behind the painting table with the girls looking at some of the painted models.
One of the men sitting at the painting table whom Tim has played with on occasion noticed him and said hi and asked how he had been. They exchanged pleasantries and then Tim asked me a question over the guys head. I should insert at this point that I was the only female in the shop over the age of 8. Um, yeah. If I head to the shop by myself to get something for Tim I try to get in and get out as fast as possible. Most of the guys in the shop are great, I am sure, however some of them just creep me the hell out.
The guy at the table turned around to stare and say hi to the girls. He then turns back to Tim and the painting table guys and declares that I am short. Then he turns back around to stare and calls us the midget brigade.
Asshole.
