a guide to getting past life's little quirks | wednesday | period 2 | august 12

The class was taking place in the Danger Shop today and Loki kind of couldn't wait for this lesson. He waited till everyone arrived, got settled before he started talking.

"Welcome back," he started, nodding at them all. "Hope you all had a wonderful fucking weekend and no one's melted because of the fucking heat."

It was fucking hot, man.

"Anyway, today, we're doing something that should be fun." For him. "And you all should, at one point or another, have to deal with this. Whether you're a guy or a girl, you're all going to have to slink into a store one night and buy condoms. Or maybe you'll have to buy fucking your mom some new underwear. Or, if you're really fucking lucky, some adult diapers. Yes, children, buying shit that embarrasses you is a fact of fucking life. Best to get over it now before because it's going to fucking happen and turning a bright shade of fucking red because you're embarrassed is not going to fucking help."

It'd just be amusing.

"The easiest thing to do just do it quick," he continued. "Find the item, buy it, make no fucking eye contact with the clerk and leave. Of course, this might be difficult if the clerk starts talking to you and you don't want to be a rude shit and ignore him or her. Then, you have to suck it up. There's also the 'buy lots of shit and hide the embarrassing thing in the middle' trick. If you buy a shit ton of mundane stuff, maybe you can lull the clerk into not thinking anything of your embarrassing purchase, right? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it just puts more focus on your embarrassing item. You could also try to make someone buy it for you. In this class, you're not going to get to do that but if you find someone that doesn't give a shit about buying stuff like that, then you're golden."

Loki grinned because this activity was going to be awesome.

"Today, you're all going to be buying something embarrassing," he said. "I've assigned items and it's your job to buy the thing, pay for it and get out of the store without stuttering or blushing like a fucking idiot. Sound easy? I guess we'll see, right? Get going."

Loki stood back and waited for the the first student to take their turn.

Layla came up and slapped the lice kit down on the counter. "Yeah. I need it, Okay?" she said angrily. "This shit works right? By the looks of you, you should know."

She might be trying a different tactic.

"Just ring the fucking lice kit up," Layla snapped. "And no fucking price check over the store intercom. If you don't know the price you can damn well get your lazy butt from behind the counter and walk to the aisle to find it."

"I have no time for this," Layla replied as she pulled out her money and tossed it on the counter and then snatched the lice treatment box. "Keep the fucking change."

"Blah. Blah. Blah. Blah. Stupid yokel saying something I don't care," Layla replied as she headed out the door.
