Why do I do this to myself?

It has not been the greatest of days. I got sold an inferior laptop charger and when I returned it for hopefully a replacement or fix. All the salesmen tried to convince me I hadn't even bought it there. It is so exhausting to have noone in my corner fighting on my behalf.

I could have yelled, screamed, swore but honestly with those types of nasty underhanded sales people it doesn't do any good. The only person humiliated and embarrassed is myself. My gut said just buy a replacement elsewhere but I opted for the quick fix and just settled on another one. I should have realised it was an inferior store when the warranty only lasted a month.

I didn't even keep the receipt. Thinking back nine months ago, here is what I remember. The one I bought from Amazon was a universal one and didn't work at all. The one I bought from their store the first time, I made sure was by Lenovo. I specifically asked because I didn't want a generic one and when I checked it out it did say Lenovo.

While the sales people were busy I compared the new and old charger and found an alarming difference. The first one sold to me was a cheap chinese knock off and the new one said Lenovo, so I'm thinking he switched the chargers when I wasn't looking and sold me an inferior one but today I was watching them like a hawk so no chance of a switch.

I've put the receipt in my laptop case, who knows how long this one will last. I know I should have bought it online but there are so many variations. It's too confusing.

Next I decided to browse the market and see if there were any new stores around, not that I had spare change lying around. I spotted a beauty store and thought I would treat myself to an eyebrow shape. I got screwed again. I politely asked if she could refrain from using threading because it feels like barbed wire cutting my face up and my eye area always bleeds afterwards, she agreed, then went ahead and only did half the work, basically leaving the excess hairs but giving the shape and I paid for it.

What is wrong with me?? It's not going to take long to pluck them away but that's not the point. I am such a wimp sometimes, avoiding confrontation. My only highlight was the comfort food I purchased from Pret A Manger. If you haven't tried them I highly recommend their selection of sandwiches and wraps. The bang bang chicken is a favourite of mine.

At first I thought they were sold out, but the sales guy went out of his way to look and locate them for me so that is lunch sorted. Oh yea and just because a lipgloss looks transparent don't take it for gospel. I bought a new one from Vova and assumed it was, caught sight of myself in the mirror at the beauty shop and almost screamed. It has the ugliest tint of reddy pink I have ever seen. I looked ghastly. I'm off to fix the right eyebrow now.
