Y'know how I said that toothbrush was going back because it was so expensive? Well, the office manager at our dentists was so very sharp with me about it ("I can't take that back! It's opened and I won't be able to sell that to anyone else, now!") and all, and went on and ON, that I was completely humiliated, and started crying in the car on the way home. I really should just have tried to set it aside and get over it, but when I got home, so upset, Eor did what any wonderful sweetheart does and phoned the dentists office with a can of very polite whup-ass and asked them to cancel all our appointments, as we won't be setting foot inside there again.
So then I was sitting next to the phone a few minutes later and the phone rings, I pick it up (like a damned fool) and it's her. "I just heard that your husband called, and I wish they'd put him through to me because I'm very offended that you thought I was rude, all I did was tell you the policy and..." and I just started crying again, and he took the phone away from me and I'm not exactly sure what he said. She's coming at me with she's offended? Maybe tomorrow I'd have been able to deal with that, but not right now.
Anyway, he says it's not worth ruining my night over, and I'm thinking that I feel like such an idiot for having bought something which resulted in us losing a good dentist. And there's no way I want to keep the damned toothbrush, now, it'll just remind me of my humiliation forever. I know this is probably all down to me having a low sense of self-esteem and taking it too seriously when she went on and fucking on.
