ok, so here's how the story goes:
girl goes into manicure shop to check price. girl asks boy if he's willing to wait for an express pedicure, boy don't look too ok, girl thought "ok never mind, will do it another time". boy, as usual, tries to be sweet and says "ok, do it."
girl goes ahead extremely unwilling.
manicurist comes, looks at girl's toes and exclaims, "wah your toes very dry leh, why don't do full pedicure? very fast one, only 45 mins. i'll try to speed up for you." boy goads girl on and says, "ok up to you", (girl is actually waiting for boy to say "NO" but he just didn't understand girl's body language. *sighz).
during the session, manicurist tries to promote extensive range of spa treatment for the toes, (read: JUST for the TOES) with a very nice price tag of $130.00.
ok everyone, you may faint now.
girl tries to tell manicurist she simply does not have time to do stuff like that, but manicurist tries and persists and never gave up. finally, boy and girl stood firm and said no, too pricey for something just for the toes. manicurist gives up, or so we thought.
towards the end of the session, manicurist comes again, this time, to promote something else: their classic pedicure package. oh, the prices of the various packages were lovely, too lovely, i vaguely remembered i had to breathe, i was practically grasping for air!
manicurist was very clever, waited for the boy to be out of sight before she came on poor girl. she persuaded, encouraged, swindled and finally girl could take it no more, she agrees to a bloody $360.00 package!!!
ok, you all may faint again. you may curse too if you wish.
$360.00, what was i thinking???
where was the firm girl in me???
where the the girl who was all so resolved to save money for the future???
she died the minute she signed her credit card away.
thus, i conclude, credit cards are evil, manicurists are even more evil! *sobz
