Perfume ad, ca. 1920.<\/p><\/div>\n

It all started about a month ago. A close friend was celebrating a big birthday, and I planned to buy her a set of nice lotions and potions in a pricey scent I knew she loved. So I looked up the address of the shop, walked across the park, headed uptown, and entered its ritzy, expensively perfumed confines. The man standing inside didn\u2019t look up.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

He ignored me for an uncomfortably long moment, then looked up and said,\u00a0\u201cDid you want something?\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d I said, taken aback. \u201cYes. Can I see your gift sets?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t do that. Sorry,\u201d he said. And returned to whatever he was doing on the computer.<\/p>\n

I was so put off by this exchange that I turned around and walked out.<\/p>\n

A week later, with the birthday approaching, I decided to try again. I was full of confidence and optimism this time. Maybe the guy had been having a bad day. Maybe he wouldn\u2019t even be working! Anyway, I\u2019d donned my best rich-person drag just in case. (Said drag consisted mostly of sunglasses, but still.)<\/p>\n

When I first went in, no one was behind the counter, so I started to busy myself sniffing different perfumes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to smell something, just ask,\u201d came a sharp voice. And I looked up to see the same guy regarding me with hostility. Then the phone rang and he started guffawing with whoever was on the other end, and this went on so long that, once again, I stormed out.<\/p>\n

Time was now running short. Of course I could have just gotten her something else. But I was angry at myself for being defeated by a single, unpleasant individual. It seemed my duty to myself, as a self-respecting adult, either to address the situation head-on or to get over it. And since the latter was obviously impossible, I\u2019d have to go back.<\/p>\n

This time I was angry and resolute. When I strode in, it was with an air of hauteur. I marched toward the display table without so much as a nod of acknowledgment and deliberately sprayed myself from one of the bottles without asking permission. The fact that I\u2019d managed to spray myself in the face with room freshener didn\u2019t exactly send the message I had hoped, but I wiped my face with dignity and turned to him with what I fancied was an air of amused command.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to put together a gift set,\u201d I said firmly. \u201cI know you don\u2019t do gift sets, but I\u2019d like to box several items together, as a gift. I would like the body wash and lotion in red currant. And is there a scent you recommend that layers nicely with those?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all fine,\u201d he said dismissively. \u201cAre these for you? Or do you want them wrapped?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, they\u2019re a gift,\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He looked very put out at having to wrap them, but grimly set about doing something with tissue paper and a piece of wired ribbon. I stood and watched.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you have a question or something?\u201d he snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Suddenly, I was really over this guy\u2019s attitude. What was his problem? What had I done that was so terrible, besides not being obviously influential? What was I supposed\u2014<\/p>\n

Stop it, I told myself sharply.\u00a0You and I need to have a little talk. Enough with this guy. Maybe he\u2019s just a jerk. Maybe he\u2019s going through a rough time. Why do you care? Why do you need to be liked? If his behavior bothers you, don\u2019t come here. Say something. Or better yet, don\u2019t\u00a0waste your energy worrying about a stranger who you never need to see again and who\u2019s probably equally rude to everyone. This was ending: now. Or, just as soon as he was finished with his sullen wrapping.<\/p>\n

A B-52s song was playing and, filled with a new sense of freedom, I started to hum along.<\/p>\n

The guy looked up, delighted. \u201cNobody knows this song!\u201d he said. \u201cI love them! I\u2019ve seen them like twenty times. I\u2019m from Athens!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh,\u201d I said. \u201cYeah, they\u2019re great. I saw them tour when I was in high school and they were amazing live.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to go to their holiday show!\u201d he said. \u201cI go every year! Here, I carry my ticket, you can see where it is.\u201d He pulled a battered slip of paper out of his wallet and handed it to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow,\u201d I said. \u201cI\u2019d love to check that out. Thank you so much!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey do, like, Christmas versions of all their songs. You\u2019d love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll definitely be seeing me there!\u201d I said eagerly, even though I knew I wouldn\u2019t go.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We parted with everyone liking everyone else and nothing much resolved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
