Back from the dead.
Not a cashreg story, but might get a chuckle out of you.
Dunno if I ever mentioned it or not, and too lazy to read previous entries, but I have an older sister that, more often than not, drives me up a tree.
She was weirdly all smiles as she walked up to me, and with a "I'm very proud of myself" expression, told me:
"I bought a belt."
I stared at her blankly for a moment and sighed.
See, knowing my sis, the only reason she'd mention a random belt like this is if it was a purchase our dad would be annoyed by.
Only reason I can think of that would annoy our dad about the belt is the price.
Now, I don't do clothes shopping for myself and usually my clothes are hand me downs from acquaintances or when some online shop has a big sale, so I don't know my prices.
I have a 5€ belt, which has lasted me roughly half a year, so thinking that was the normal price I asked sis tiredly:
"How much? 50€?"
My sis giggle in response, making a chill go down my spine.
Oh no...
My sis: "Multiply by 12"
My brain glitched and rebooted
"You dished out 600€ for a BELT? A BELT?!"
Sis: I kNoW~ but I felt like I haven't spent in a while 🤭
Me: But 600 for a BELT?
Me: that's 3x my phone! That's half of our rent!
Me: Let me get this straight...
Are you seriously telling me that you, who is always on my effin case for opening a small soda can instead going straight for the 2L bottle cuz it's a couple cents cheaper, paid 600 flippin euros for a piece of leather nobody is ever going to see?!
Sis: but they will see it!
Me: MAYBE LIKE A CENTIMETER of it!
Sis does some hand motions as if mentally measuring the thing
Sis: more like 4... ish?
Me: 😡💢💢🔪🔪
Skip forwards 2 days, and my sis proudly presented her belt
The belt is all black with no distinguishing features and like 1.5cm wide....
600€ ... for that...
Bonus:
I told my friend this story, and he was flabbergasted.
My friend: I would understand if it was a nice pair of shoes or some pretty handbag but a belt?
It might catch the attention of one lady on the street, and that's a Big stretch.
Me: Impress a lady it did, I just wish it hadn't been this one lady in particular.
Never thought I'd see someone choke on their spit irl, but there I was trying to get my pal to breathe.
Until next time
