Upselling

It starts with an altercation at superdrug where a pretty girl in too much makeup  wont believe I have a loyalty card and ‘there’s nothing under your name’

Loyalty card? I have a loyalty card. I only wanted some overpriced hayfever tablets. 
No I don’t want another one. I haven’t lost it. Just don’t have it with me, I cant carry them all. I would need a massive lorry.

I escape and cross the road to poundland but I am mugged by a 12 year old asking me if I want to change my energy supplier. 
It will only take a minute. I do have a minute but you’re not having it. You’re not having it.
I do want to change my energy supplier actually because they are shit. 
But I don’t want to do it with you. I will do it with them meercat things and get to go to the pictures free and spend a fortune on overpriced popcorn that tastes like me pants.
Simples.

The big issue women is always there after she got moved on from co-op. 
She sees me and knows better.
Of course she knows better.

So I go into poundland to look at the shorts. £7? This is fucking poundland mate not fucking French Connection.
So I buy some cheap sweets instead that I have never heard of and all the colours are red. And for some reason a lighter.
‘Would you like to buy some kit kats today’ says blue hair on the tills. If I wanted some fucking kit kats mate I would have some in my basket. 
And them unbranded mints. I don’t want them. 
Well actually.

I go to pick my glasses up because they are in for repair because they got scratched to fuck after they made me pay 8 million pounds for 7 million different coatings that stopped them being scratched.
They’re not ready ‘obviously’ but I do have the chance to buy a glasses cloth if I want one. 
I don’t want one.
I DON’T EVEN WEAR GLASSES.

So back out.
And no you already asked.
And no I don’t want Sky either. I’m not paying £900 pound a month to watch Kim Kardasian.
I got pornhub mate on my fixed broadband tarriff that goes up every month. Fuck yr talk talk.

And I get home past all the offers and am told that the washing machine is fucked.
What am I a fucking washing machine repair man.
And it’s two years old and would I like an insurance plan that will cost more than the washing machine to get it fixed?
I would?
Oh and I have fucked it because I am not putting tablets in it that stop it getting fucked. 
And would I like some of those. All calls are recorded. Of course they are.
Would you like a carbon monoxide detector?
Don’t even have gas mate. Just want to wash me pants.
And the phone rings. 
And I push mu way past the piles of loyalty cards to get to the phone. Superdrug is on the top
Do I have PPI?
Do I have PPI?
I don’t even have any Kit Kats mate.
Now fuck off.

This is not a suicide note.  I am not allowed to do that. That would make me the bad guy. If things were a bit different though I would deffo be eating toast in the bath. I hope I get ill again. That would be perfect. The only problem with getting ill last time was that I got better. I was ready. I was ‘at peace’. Then, as now, I have had enough. I am always tired, I always hurt. I am never shown any love and I don’t really do anything I enjoy. All the things I am supposed to enjoy either I don’t or I get stopped from doing by other people who are supposed to care about me. I am now old enough to know I will never get what I want in my life. This is it, my best days are behind me and I wasted them on making do. The sun comes out and I get sunburn in the hope that it will fix my skin. In the hope it will make me better. It just makes my skin fall off in different ways and hurt from a new angle. I look for stuff to fill the box I live in. The space is getting smaller and ...

The Eternal

And then they all stopped talking. What had they been saying? It was definitely something to do with me. I don’t mind. It just makes me laugh to myself. I need to laugh. Even if it’s just an internal thing.  The guy with no hair is round again. Buzz buzz buzz . You open the window but the wasp won’t flay out. He would be better off out there in the world but he would sooner be banging into windows. You bump into the criminal by accident. What do you say? Does he know I know? He must do. He knows the environment. He knows what’s happening. What do you say? You say ‘alright’ and then you move past. You are glad you don’t have your child with you. That would have been weird.  You go back through history. You see all the relics and ignore them for plastic hiding in cabinets.  You are melting. Your skin is coming off. The machine won’t work. Why won’t the machine work? And you try and you try and you try and everyone is looking at you and you are melting.  An...
