She must Dance the Dance of Kleenex

[IlovemyGeek]

Spotted at a local drugstore last week. (Three letter chain)

I was checking out and the cashier next to me was helping this woman who was going on and on about her life, her sick dog, her elderly mother, etc (she had obviously been there a while, poor cashier). I guess she was trying to return some tissue. She's in her 60s at least and she says at one point "I LOOOOOVE Kleenex" and then to prove her point, she pirouettes, kicks one leg out, drops a mini curtsy and then looks at me for acknowledgment of her "I love Kleenex dance".

I just rolled my eyes at her, gave a sympathetic look to the cashier, and left without clapping.

awww silly old woman; i get a lot of these 'old dears' who give u their life story. You smile and chat politely for the first 10minutes but then you realise theyre not listening, theyre just talking at you. One woman even told me about a birthday card she got 30 years ago. I know theyre lonely & if they want a conversation fine but dont just talk AT me. tis rude!!

least ya got a dance :P

When I was a secretary at a few small offices, I was the only one the copiers would get along with, so I always had to do the "Dance of the copiers".

I slay me sometimes!

Ahem ... Were you at least laughing at her stupidity in your brain?

I'm in the point of my life when I no longer feel the need to have any sort of poker face LOL, so she probably could tell that I wasn't exactly a captive audience.

Had she visited the mall I go to most often a few months ago, she would've been shakin' it like Jennifer Beals in Flashdance. They had this big exhibit in one of the halls for Extra Soft Kleenex.

This is probably because Kimberly-Clark, the makers of Kleenex, were headquarted in nearby Neenah, WI for years and some of their products are probably still manufactured in the area.
