    Default If its not the kids its me

    Was shopping in primark with DD and mindee, got to the checkout and i spotted some cans on the counter. I looked at one and it said spray on tights, the picture showed some legs in black tights. The can had no colour on so stupidly i thought it must go on black and surely that wouldnt work . I asked the lady behind the counter if she knew if it worked (the lady was black african judging by her accent)
    She replied 'i dont have a clue'
    to which i replied 'oh i didnt know if youd tried it'
    to which she replied 'are you trying to be funny'
    i replied 'no i was just simply asking if youd tried the product
    she replied 'no why the hell would i want that?'
    i said 'sorry i just thought you might of tried it'
    she said 'do you know what colour it is?'
    i said 'no, black isnt it?'
    she replies 'its like fake tan, like a nude colour so no love i havnt tried it'

    she didnt look happy at all if its not kids its me lol

    I think the shop assistant sounded a bit rude, why are some people always on the defensive?

    Yer i felt quite bad for a while not because of exactly what i said (was embaressing but i explained it was a genuine mistake) but because id obv offended her a lot.

    I might give it a try if you seem to think it works, my legs dont take too well to fake tan but you never know might be worth £1
