Sometimes we forget non-cat people don't speak cat

I went to the dollar store to look for a toy that my friend bought for her cat. It's a catnip-filled mouse that vibrates when you pull the string.

I couldn't find it, so I flagged one of the saleslady and asked her, "I'm looking for a toy (I never mentioned it was cat toy) that vibrates. It... uh... it vibrates (how else to describe it, I was thinking)."

She looked at me really oddly and replied, "We... we don't carry that kind of item here."

The saddest part was that I did not even realize what I said until I was driving home. I can't ever go back to that store again. At least for a couple of years.

Thanks for the laugh of the day! 

Oh my haha!   

HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! I really did burst out laughing! Good thing my mouth wasn't full - I'd have ruined my mobile! [emoji]128568[/emoji]

Did you also mention you had to pull a string? :lol3:

OMG, that made me snort!

If I did, sadly you won't hear about it as it would very, very, VERY likely violate TCS's family-friendly policy. :lol3:

oh man, I'm just imagining the look on the saleperson's face!

I was at our Dollar Store last night, looking for some apothecary jars. The lady came over to me and said, "Can I help you?" And I started to smile bc I was thinking of poor Cory. The sales lady probably thought I was loony. 

:lol3::lol3::lol3: Cory! Did you blush?

That's funny!  

Oh that's hysterical. Can you imagine the conversation that went on between her and he co workers after you left? She was looking for one of THOSE things HERE?

Maybe they'll start carrying those toys now too.
