Thanks For Nothing

While looking a spray can of Halloween hair color:

Me: I wish these things had a picture of the actual hair color on them.

Stranger Lady, pointing to a different row of cans than the one in my hand: The tops of the cans show you the color.

Me: Right.

Charlie: Except this brand, all the caps are black.

Me: My point.

Now, I have three issues with this woman butting in, showing off her point-out-the-obvious muscles.  1- She was wrong.  The bottles we were looking at all had black caps no matter the color of the spray.  So by her indication, the bottle advertising blue spray would be as black as the bottle advertising red spray.  Hmmm.  2-  I HAVE EYES.  And a brain.  I can figure out that the pretty caps indicate the color contained in the can.  3- The cans with the color-indicative caps, I would assume, would look different on your hair than on the bottle cap.  I think the colored caps simply say to the consumer, "I'm yellow" or red or blue or pink.  I don't think they're trying to tell me, "Your hair will look exactly like this color on my cap, " and I care more about how it will look on my head than on the bottle.

And to wrap up our beautiful experience at Longs this afternoon, I believe I was overcharged for a witch hat I bought.  I was really pissed off about it, but decided not to make a big stink over a dollar or 2.  After all, I'm a witch, not a bitch.
