We got stood up for lunch today. Honestly, we were okay with not seeing the rat, ahem, person, who stood us up. But that dumped, you’re-not-important-enough-for-me-to remember-I-was-supposed-to-meet-you, invisible kind of feeling swamped us for a minute or two. Okay, maybe it was more like a half an hour of hyper-ventilating and post-traumatic stand-up flashbacks, but it was the middle of the day and we couldn’t run home to cry in bed. What did we do?
We did what any normal, red-blooded American bitch would do. We went shopping.
We thought we'd share our great find, it is the season of giving, after all. We know how hard it is to find appropriate and inexpensive presents—especially for those on the bottom of your list. So instead of going postal in the face of our rejection, we went on the hunt to get even.
Insects. Pests. Creepy crawly things.
Yup, we bought three Lucite encased insects: a spider, a beetle, and a hornet. They are roughly three inches long and 1 inch wide and 1/2 inch deep. Little oblong cubes of Lucite with little critters encased. We love them all equally and are sorry to be parting with any one of them. Since we are Bitches on a Budget, for $8 bucks (Urban Outfitters) they’re a perfect present for any pest-y no-show friend.
Tell us about your worst no-show date and how you got even.
