I am the fly today

I wish I knew how to read people better. I think I may have been bamboozled today. It seems to happen once in awhile. Ok, for me, perhaps at least once a week. I know it's not right to lie so it may not have been such a terrible thing in the end. I made a purchase and called to confirm the order. The sales rep insisted I buy an add-on item of which I insisted I didn't need. The rep insisted I did and that my order would take three times as long if I didn't purchase the add on. I believe he was lying through his teeth as to whether I needed it or not but nevertheless, I gave in. I am thankful I didn't lie to him in return. Nevertheless, I was like a fish on a hook. I was putty in his hands. I was the mouse in his trap. You've seen flies get zapped in those bright zappy light things? Well, I am the fly today. Although, I do believe I have survived the "zap" this time. You get the point. That all being said, I think I may have still gotten a pretty good deal overall. I'd like to think so anyways. We'll see for sure, if the package arrives.....intact.
