Random Story
So, my roommate and I are moving in the middle of July and we both have a lot of stuff to buy.
Occasionally, we will get 20% off coupons in the mail from Bed, Bath & Beyond. The problem is that there is only 1 and we both need way more than 1 for each of us.
Right by the mailboxes in our apartment complex is a trash can for people to throw their junk mail into. People throw those Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons away as if they are junk mail. I think not!!!!
My roommate and I dug through the trash can to grab some coupons. I assure you that there was only junk mail in there and no rotting food/other nasty things. We aren't that gross.
As we're picking through the trash, the hot guy that my roomie and me have had a crush on since the day we moved in came walking up. We first spotted him the day we moved in as we were sweating and trying to grab heavy boxes (unsuccessfully) off of the U-Haul. He drove by in his Jaguar. It was love at first sight.
Our Apartment Complex Boyfriend (ACB for short) was looking at us weird as he walked over to the mailboxes. I guess I'd look at us weird, too. I saw him pull out the coupon from the mailbox.
Me: Are you going to be using that?
ACB: No. In fact, I'll hand it to you. That way, you don't have to pick through the trash to get it.
Me: Cool!
ACB: Why do y'all need so many coupons anyway? (my roomie and I had found 14 total at this point)
Roomie: We're moving and have a lot of stuff to buy.
ACB: I own a furniture store. If you guys need furniture, you should stop by.
Me: Errr, no offense but you just caught us digging through a trash can for coupons so we definitely don't have the money for nice, new furniture.
ACB: <snicker>
I called my dad later to let him know how resourceful I am. (We gathered 23 coupons total...yay us!) He said, "I'm so glad that my daughter, the college graduate, was picking through a trash can for coupons. You would think you'd stop doing that after you finished school." Hey...old habits die hard.
