Allergic to Scheels...

[laughingwillow]

So, I'm on my way to pick up a few things I'll need on the upcoming adventure. Unfortunately, I can't shop at the closest sporting goods store, as I'm allergic to the place. After about 10 minutes in the store, my bung hole starts itching something fierce and the feeling soon spreads throughout my core. After about 1/2 hour of exposure my entire body is buzzing and I have a strong desire to scratch my tonsils by sticking my hand up my ass.

ANyway, a friend recently told me that he had basically the same reaction when he would visit garment warehouses with a girl friend who was a clothes buyer. Apparently there is off-gassing from some types of plastics/synthetic material that some people are allergic to. I'm hoping the Bass Pro Shop has better air circulation that Scheels.

Anyone else experience anything similar from close contact with some types of plastic?

MMmhhhmmmm.  Sounds like a real experience...  Do remember that in polite company, one does not scratch ones' Scheel in front of others...  Especially not around minor children and gossamer winged sheeples.....

LOL Looks like no more Bass Pro Shop for me, either. No, I wasn't allergic to their store. Just the way they treated me......

I headed to BPS yesterday morning to pick up a few things for my trip. As I was walking in the door I noticed their greeter eyeing me suspiciously. So the place started giving me the creeps immediately. I headed toward the back of the store and soon was intercepted  by a manager coming out from their back office. She started walking with me, asked me if I needed anything and then asked if I had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. I told her I didn't need one and she informed me that, although they don't mind people bringing guns into the store, I couldn't carry concealed without a permit. I stopped and asked her what she was talking about and she pointed to my pants pocket and told me she knew I was carrying a pistol. I proceeded to take my sunglasses (in case) out of my pocket for her inspection. Then she just smiled gave some lame excuse and walked away without apologizing for the misunderstanding.

Its kind of funny to think about suspicion I've faced by fucktards afraid of people with long hair.  Maybe the buzz cut I got yesterday afternoon will alleviate some of that shite.

You should have told her that you weren't carrying: you were just "really, really glad to see her!"

I had a ponytail for about nine years -- cut it off a few years ago. Honestly, I didn't notice anyone treating me any differently. Then again, I live in a pretty small town, and everyone basically knows everyone else, so they kind of know what to expect, regardless of hair length.  

It's a lot more comfortable without it, though!

that's ridiculous, and kinda funny that they thought you had a gun. I have never actually been in BPS myself but I had an odd experience at wal-mart once lol. I had just recently gotten my carry permit at the time and was in wal-mart shopping, the whole time I didn't realize that when I had reached up to grab something of an upper shelf my shirt got caught on the grip of my pistol, I got to the cash register and thought the cashier was checking out my rear end lol and then I looked down and noticed the situation, casually covered it back up, payed and left. it's a good thing I live in the boons. no one seems to care. Still a mistake I will not make again.

I walked into a Wally-World years ago, and as I approached the entry door;  I noticed a big no smoking sign.  I was just about to light up, so I merely had the unlit cig dangling from my fingers...  Made my way back to the sporting goods section, and was looking at something on an upper shelf...  All of the sudden, some lil pimply faced twerp snatches my cigarrette  out of my hand.  I turned and looked at him with Gawd knows what sort of  expression on my face...  he then, looked at the unlit cig, and stammered "  I uh, they don't let people smoke in here, I thought"...By this time, he was trying to hand me my cig back...  I shook my head and told him  " Now that you have put your hands on my property, you can keep it,  I'm not gonna put that in my mouth"   The guy made a hasty departure back among some other shelving.... I made it a point to never shop there again..... :smoke:3
