Minor Inconvenience at Macy's

Hi I'm working on a bunch of requests at once right now (because ya girl can't work on one thing at a damn time) but in the meantime I decided to tell yall about this crazy ass experience I had in Macy's with my friend. For the sake of privacy I'm gonna call her Kristy like from The Babysitters Club 👍

So to start off we weren't even shopping in Macy's. We were just traveling through it to get to the lower floor of the mall. 

But it was Kristy's older sister's birthday. And this is important to the story: Kristy's older sister (I'll call her Macy for obvious reasons)  is autistic like me, but she's developmentally younger than the age she was actually turning. And she LOVES Build a Bear. We go every year for her birthday 🥰

Because build a bear is in the mall, we had to park outside of Macy's and travel through it to get to the actual full mall. 

That's what we were doing when DISASTER STRUCK *creepy organ music* *lightning strike* 

There was an escalator in the store that we had to go down to get to the lower level of the mall, where Build a Bear was. So me, Kristy's mom, Kristy's younger sister, and Kristy all got on the escalator. 

But then I look back and Macy is standing at the top, literally frozen and whimpering in fear. No one knew at the time but turns out, the girly is afraid of escalators. 

Since I was the last one to actually step onto the escalator, I went back up and held out my hand and I'm like "it's okay, take my hand," saying things like that. But she wouldn't get on, she was really scared.

And I must look like an idiot because the escalator keeps going down so I have to keep stepping up and my hand is still out I actually thought about that as it was happening I was like "damn I must look goofy stepping up and going nowhere" 

All of a sudden this HAG appears out of nowhere, I don't know where she came from, probably flew in on her goddam broomstick to do some Karening.

And I shit you not, she REACHES HER ARM ACROSS MY CHEST and starts yelling, "NO ITS NOT SAFE ITS TOO DANGEROUS" 

AS IF TRYING TO PUSH ME DOWN A MOVING ESCALATOR IS SAFETY GUIDELINES??? 

FUCKIN WASH YOUR HANDS WHEN YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM, WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU'RE SICK AND PUSH A GIRL DOWN AN ESCALATOR WHEN SHE'S TRYING TO HELP OUT SOMEONE WITH HIGH SUPPORT NEEDS

All of the patience and calmness I had with Macy? 💥*POOM*💥 Immediately gone when I see this witch. 

Also shout out to the people behind Macy who were waiting for the elevator, they were so sweet 🥺 They were also trying to help like "its okay we can go down together, we can hold your hand! ☺" 

But Macy wouldn't get on and this Chihuahua was yipping at me so I step off at the top of the escalator, take Macy's hand and I lead her away. I quietly heard her say "I'm sorry..." and I wanted to CRY 💔

But I didn't, instead I walk up to the lady and throw my free hand up and I snap, "What do you want me to do?" Usually I'm very nice with strangers and my elders and this lady looked ELDER lemme tell you. She couldn't have been older than like late 40s early 50s, so she should've been worrying about her gray hairs and not me. 

She tells me, "There's an elevator over there, use that." And her hand points in the most vague direction possible

I look and WOULD YOU BELIEVE there's no elevator so I turn to her again and I say, "WHERE?" 

IT JUST POINTS AGAIN AND SAYS "IN THE CORNER OVER THERE" 

There is a wall with clothes on it and then the actual store wall. WHICH CORNER?!

So I start walking to the cornersSS PLURAL THERE WERE TWO OF THEM MISS BITCH and I'm still not seeing a sign of an elevator anywhere so what do I do. Fight the urge to clock a senior, turn around again and say, "Okay, can you just SHOW ME WHERE please?" 

Once again. "In the corner, honey, all the way in the corner." 

Don't you fuckin dare call me honey, you damn wasp. 

At this point I've given the fuck up so I walk away and I'm still holding Macy's hand. If Macy hadn't been there, I would've given her the finger, I swear to God I had to physically put my hand in my pocket to stop myself. But eventually we get to the corner and I find the elevator. "In the corner" was actually on the back wall and down a hallway to the right but hey who's complaining (me) 

We go down the elevator and there are Kristy's mom Kristy and Kristy's younger sister yayyyy and then we met my sister at Build a Bear and lived happily ever after 😁

(Me and Kristy usually get the same bear when we go just because WE'RE INDECISIVE TWINSSS but she got Toothless from HTTYD and I got a mini axolotl because I don't like How To Train Your Dragon 😭)

Also did yall know Build a Bear does minis now? They're so cute and I want to collect them ALL

The prettiest emo girls came into Build a Bear but I didn't charge up my courage fast enough to tell them that they were pretty before they left 😔 I became one of them that day 💔⛓🥀

Then when me and my sister were leaving together I saw these two gorgeous girls (one of them was alt and was wearing a layered Gorillaz tee, she was literally who I strive to be and look like) I told them they were STUNNING but they didn't hear me 😭

Then my sister was like, "Oh- I don't think they heard..." AND STOPPED WALKING I WAS LIKE NO WE GOTTA GO

But anyway that's my life! Thanks for coming along, and remember to always stay silly✌😜✨
