[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 664350, member: 18958"] I returned a bunch of stuff at Sears; clothes that I had bought online. The sales clerk was very sweet to me. We began chatting as if friends. *There was a mountain of stuff to return. She asked about my work. I demurred. I have been working, I said. I told her about my mother's death and a little bit about how it affected me. (I know I have a very poor filter. But I always start from the position that we are all the same, we suffer the same. Whether we acknowledge it or not.) And then I stopped. I said, I should not tell you this, but I will. "Sometimes, I don't think I will ever get over the death of my Mother." And she cried, too. Of course this was inappropriate to begin to cry in the middle of Sears at the customer service counter. I [I]was[/I] embarrassed. And it is completely unacceptable to make the nice young woman cry who after all is stuck there trying to do her job. So, after feeling guilty for a while, I realized, these feelings about my mother must be coming up more strongly, because fangs and mothers have been the topic at hand on this thread. And even I would draw the line at talking about fangs with the very nice young woman at Sears. [/QUOTE]
