Woe betide ye dealing with Crate & Barrel's returns department. I despaired of repacking my accidentally-Eurotrash limonade glasses in the unnecessarily complicated mechanism they arrived in, so THE DAY AFTER that post, I ran them to my nearest C&B store to rid myself of their tackiness. I can't even begin to relate what I went through with their cashier despite having several receipts and having purchased these monstrosities less than a week earlier. In short:
"Sure, you can return these, no problem!"
[stares at register for forty seconds, unmoving]
"No, I'm sorry, you'll need to mail these."
"But it says right here on my receipt--"
"You'll need to mail these, ma'am."
[Repeat above exchange X4]
[Our Heroine leaves line in a huff, walks to next register, and switches on her thousand-wattest smile]
"Hiiiii, these are for a wedding gift and I'm so afraid they'll break in the mail! Could you wrap them for me?"
So I leave the store, with a freshly wrapped box, MAIL THESE EFFING GLASSES BACK MY DAMN SELF, and only just today received my exchange prize....which was so worth the wait. Which, as, you can see, is Saying Something.
I don't even like seafood, but aren't these TERRIFYING? I almost tagged this post "wearable awesome", such is my love.

I discovered this stuff while housesitting for a particularly neat freaky friend. I must have scrubbed his sink every day during the two weeks I was there just because I wanted to use the surface scrub that much. It's like Comet without the Listerine and vomit references. I love love love the Lemon Verbena, but the other scents are awesome too. I'm currently doing laundry with the Lavender and it induces the happy just as effectively.
