You know, I don't know why, but I like needles. I like piercings. I actually have LESS than I used to have, but I'm okay with that.
A few weeks ago, I decided that I wanted my ears pierced again to bring it to a total of 3 holes on one side, and 2 on the other. (one of my ears has a cartilage piercing, and the other does not).
So. I go to wal-mart. The lady gives me the pen to mark on myself. Not a good idea since its difficult. Instead of seeing where I wanted it, and marking it FOR ME ON BOTH EARS, she is just like..
"Oh..i know where you want it, I'll eyeball it..i can get it just right."
That statement should have made me RUN for my life.
As a result, I then had my ears pierced alright. IN TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.
Of course they didn't let me get a real good look before I left. So 2 days later, I'm looking verrrrrry closely...and I nearly fell out of my chair at how "off" they were.
It really wasn't that obvious just looking at it, but it was really bad.
So, I went BACK to walmart, and went to their customer service and I made them look at my ears and I told them that I wanted it REDONE and I did not want to have to pay for it again. I'm not one to bitch over something that didn't cost very much, HOWEVER, THIS IS A PERMANENT WHOLE IN MY BODY.
Luckily, the girl working had quite a few piercings herself and she was like. Ooo. Yeah. Its bad. Go talk to the jewelry department. They have their own policies.
So i did just that.
The lady that originally did my piercing wasn't there. And the little tramp working tried to tell me that IT WAS MY OWN FAULT BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS MARK YOUR EARS AND YOU HAVE TO OKAY/APPROVE IT.
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!! I said. I was livid. ANd I explained that the lady didn't mark my ears and that I wanted them repierced, that they were terribly off, and I wasn't going to freaking pay for it again. I then explained that there was no way it could be my fault since I didn't even do the damn piercing. they were the ones.
After much arguing, the girl finally relented to allow me to come back after a week and have them done. She told me to take it out. Duh. I'm certainly not gonna leave that hole in there cause its way bad off. the little tramp then wanted me to come back on certain days between certain hours and it was just ridiculous.
the more i thought about it, the more I decided that I really didn't want to have them futzing with my ears again.
So I went to the walmart in the city i live in instead of the walmart in the city where i go to school.
the people at that walmart were horrified. after getting management approval, I had THEM redo my one ear that was in the wrong spot. I'm now happy.
The end.
