in the depths of her interior were fears she was inferior

So...a woman approached me in the tampon aisle at CVS this morning. (That sounds like the set-up for some terrible joke, but...no.) She worked for NPR, she said, and she was looking for people to talk about their biggest fears while her creepily looming cameraman shoved his lens in their faces. I told her my biggest fear was being filmed tired and makeup-less, clutching an extra large box of unscented Kotex.

I mean, I do feel a little bad for exaggerating; that's not really my biggest fear. It's definitely in the top ten, though.

My first reaction was "If she worked for NPR, why did she need a cameraman?"

My second reaction was that if it were me, I would have been either swallowing curse words or sprinting in the opposite direction. So I think you did great forming words and responding to her.

OH MY GOD, YOU'RE RIGHT! o_o THE PLOT THICKENS. DUN DUN DUN!

He was, like, eight feet tall, too, and totally silent. It was truly the creepiest thing ever.

Oh, yeah, no one gives a sassier man-on-the-street interview than I do. It's a point of pride, really. *flips hair, winks*

Holy moly.

Uh-huh.

I mean, I work in Midtown; impromptu man-on-the-street interviews are kind of unavoidable. They just happen. But...the tampon aisle? THE TAMPON AISLE??? Yeesh.
