Of Stabbings and Trickery

Minor stab wounds were suffered by a girl on campus this morning by an unknown perpetrator wearing a black mask. “Minor Stab Wounds”. Does this phrase seem strange to anyone else? Last year the attack on campus was a hoax. It’s hard to fake stab wounds. It’s a small, secluded campus, with a good amount of forested area. The incident sparked my escorting of a friend back to the apartments, as if I would be able to ward off an attacker, no matter how much I claim I’d be able to defend myself like a badass, kungfu bodyguard.

Despite better judgment and my mother’s request, I departed earlier this evening alone. The trip to Taco Bell was necessary after all. After two, tasty, soft shell tacos, I moseyed over Walgreen’s. The thing about Walgreen’s is that they lure you in with their free rebates. I myself have never taken part in such rebates, as I am always skeptical of a good thing. However, tonight two rebated products (as well as other merchandise) made their way into my hands. I later sat in my car looking over the rebate pamphlet the cashier handed me after I inquired about how to do the rebate. This is when I became aware of the fact that only one of the Garnier products can be refunded per person. The Trickery. The Scandal. The Misleading. The Deception. The Bastards. I am a trusting person. I have faith in the common man. However, it is crap like this that makes me an increasingly cynical person. Fear not. The second product will be returned. I will not succumb to your cheap marketing scams.
