Huh?

So, our favorite store had a warehouse sale this weekend. We went last year, but not until Sunday afternoon and it was like a ghost town when we got there. This year we went on Saturday to see what we could see. We needed a new end table for the living room, but when we got there the only wooden furniture left looked like it had been worked over by a mafia goon. Looking around, we wandered to where the sofas and chairs were, and started sitting around in the chair and a half chairs.

Well I really like them, but the fabric is kinda thin, will it wear out fast? We don't really need one, but it would finish out the basement. What do you think? What do you think? Ok let's get one.

Now the fun began. Which chairs of the 8 that were there were wobbly, not wobbly, marked up, clean, more worn out than others, chocolate or beige fabric... We found a winner. Let's tip it up to make sure the bottom doesn't have a hole. BLOOMP. Two of the feet fell off. We had this problem with our old couch. I set the couch down without having one of the feet screwed all the way in and it pushed in the sleeve. It's fixable, but I didn't want to buy a chair, regardless of how much off it was, that we had to fix.

So let's look at the others some more. This one's good, doesn't wobble, the feet stay on, no marks , scuffs or holes. I sit in it. Andy asks, did you like the back cushion on the other better? Well yes. Go swap it. I race across the room. Did you like the other seat cushion better? Well yeah...Go swap it.

After we got it put together we wound up with a lovely chair.

Now the fun part. The loading dock is about an hour behind, so we could sit around and wait, or we could haul the chair off ourselves. Off we hauled. From one end of the warehouse to the other. Slowly, because I'm a weakling. Once we got close to the ramp, we set the chair down and I sat in it, while Andy went to get the car.

As I was sitting waiting a woman came up and starting looking the chair over, ignoring me completely. Then she got to the big sign on it that said PAID, and mumbled to herself "Oh! Someone's already got that one."

It always amazes me, how weird people are.
