garage sale truths

So I went to a couple of garage sales this morning, and at one particular good one I was looking at some items and spending a bit of quality time perusing some items. Generally, garage sales are made up of many very quick glances. If one spends too much time in some spot, then a treasure perhaps might be found, and this causes undue attention from other garage salers. To avoid this, one must circle like a hawk and then after many careful peeks attack the item and claim it as theirs. Anyway, I spent a bit too long at a table and a woman with a cell phone glued to her left ear suddenly sprang on me and hovered so close to my right shoulder I smelled her breath. She probably expected me to back away from the table, but to her surprise, I did not move an inch , and in fact moved closer into the table, and I proceeded to pick up an item that I feigned interest in. It was a good battle, but after about one minute of face to face combat , she must have realized I wasn't moving, and there was nothing on the table for her. Round one won! There were only about 3 0r 4 people there and it was pretty spread out. She continued talking on the phone and I proceeded to other tables. We locked again by the little girls jackets. I found a couple of small girl's jean jackets with tags still on them . As I lifted the tags to see the price , the lady with the phone cemented to her ear swarmed on me like bees after honey. before she got to me, I knew the price of the jackets was too high for my tastes, this being a garage sale and all,and as I let go of the jean jacket, her sweaty fingers grabbed the sleeve as it fell back into place. This time though, I retreated. I was afraid I would slap the phone from her ear.I got what I needed though, and walked away victorious after paying. As I walked past her ELEXUS suv, I thought seriously about keying it, but then thought it wasn't worth the grief.Hopefully , I'll see her at another sale.
