They are EVRYWHERE and 100x worse than mall kiosk people. They will literally step in your way and not let you pass.

Those mall kiosk creeps always attack me too, and they are all conviently located in front of the elevator so when I'm pushing my baby in the stroller I have to pass them to get to the elevator.

Being preggers can bring out a new side to a woman I tell you! Because hubby and I were walking past a bunch of kiosks and someone JUMPED OUT in front of us trying to spray us with perfume and I screamed out "NOO!!! Leave us alone!!!" and walked away very quickly. Hubby busted out laughing...he never expected me to EVER scream at a kiosk person. I never expected myself to ever do that either. Everytime I think about that day I have to laugh!! :) Oh, pregnancy hormones....Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475598092383426068noreply@blogger.com
