She had been chasing whispers of a massive appliance sale all week, her excitement growing with every tip from friends and online forums.
Something about the store felt unusual, almost as if it held mysteries beyond the shelves of discounted gadgets. Still, curiosity—and the lure of a bargain—pulled her in.
A young blonde woman arrived, eager to score the perfect TV.
“I’d like to buy this one,” she told the salesman, pointing at a sleek model.
“Sorry, we don’t sell to blondes,” he said casually.
Taken aback but undeterred, she rushed home, changed her hair color, and returned. “I’d like to buy this TV,” she repeated.
“Sorry, we don’t sell to blondes,” the salesman replied, unflinching.
Determined, she overhauled her appearance: a bold new haircut, a different color, a sharp outfit, and oversized sunglasses. She even waited a few days, hoping time would mask her identity.
“I’d like to buy this TV,” she said confidently, expecting no obstacles this time.
“Sorry, we don’t sell to blondes,” he said again, smiling.
Exasperated, she asked, “How do you know I’m a blonde?”
He leaned closer, grinning. “Because… that’s a microwave.”
Conclusion
Sometimes, the problem isn’t what we think it is. A little patience, perspective, and humor can turn frustration into a lesson—and a story worth retelling.
