Finally drug DF into WM today for an eye exam. (there is no avatar here for dragging anyone into walmart) but it looked something like . So we go out into the selection area and attempt to select frames. I even tried to one up him the other day by "lets just stop in and see what new glasses they have for men." and picked out what was 'stylish', 'modern', 'upgraded' from the 1972 aviator style he constantly picks and is drawn to - even though he has NO Trans-AM or Firebird.
Oh dear me - please tell him they look BAD and no one and I mean NO ONE in there - short of having your head ripped off with a look dare say - "Oh those aren't so bad." - THINK that little terrorist-puppet-guy in the Jeff Dunham comedy show - where he says "I KEEEEEEL YOU." and you'll have my exact thoughts.
So we find a pair that are not too small after trying on nearly every pair and he finally find these one frames on sale - I tell the girl with a wink - THEY ARE THE SAME PRICE = I mean with dialated eyes he cant' see them and I'm so sick of trying on glasses. They were wide enough for a mans face - matter of fact - extra wide. Good - no temple bulge. He likes them, they're bronze, they look nice. So he says "How much?" She says "Same price." GOOD GIRL.
Then like some possessed idiot she says "These are called FAT HEADS." and he says "WHAT?" and if I could have beaned her in the head with a bottle of glass cleaner I would have but none was near. She said it again chuckling "Fatheads, see?" leans over and tries to show him the sticker he can't possibly see, and he said "Well that's just great." and then she said "They're for men with fatter heads." He looked at her and said "I got it the first time." then looked at me and said " Well darlin' I think we'll come back later."
O.M.W.........errrrrrrrrrrd. I was so angry. He walked out amazed.....and the only ONLY reason I walked over and put the glasses in her hand instead of leaving them on the table was to say "THE ONLY FATHEAD IN HERE? Is you." To which her manager tried to talk to me - and I said - walking out "Ask your optitian she seems to come up with a lot of cute answers."
I didn't say anything going to the car other than I think Susie* said something about ordering glasses on line once for $6.00 or there was a post for cheap glasses once. And then I added that this wasn't the only WM in town and if he felt up to it tomorrow we'd go somewhere else - because he needs progressive bifocals, and transition lenses. I'm not sure who does that - but I must be mellowing in my old age - because a few years ago? I would have added - to my Fathead comment - that she could be walking around with a FAT lip. ugh....
Thanks....
