I worked in a party shop and everyone always asked the same thing about our balloons – it was so annoying
A WOMAN who worked in a party shop has revealed the most annoying thing about her job.
Kaelin took to her TikTok page to share a video detailing the conversation she had with customers on a daily basis.
Kaelin also said that if she had to hear the conversation again, she’d “pretend to be a speed bump” outside[/caption]Pretending to be both herself and the customer, Kaelin asked how much the balloons were to have inflated, and recoiled when she was told they were £1.20 each due to the high price of helium.
“I’ll just go home and blow them up myself,” the customer said.
To which Kaelin replied: “You know that your mouth air isn’t going to float, right?
“When you blow those balloons up they’re going to sink to the ground, they’re not going to go up in the air?”
The customer usually replied something like: “What the f**k are you talking about?
“Of course they’ll float if I blow them up with my mouth!”
As Kaelin responded: “No they won’t.
“And if I have to have this conversation one more time today, I’m going to have to go lay down in the parking lot and hope someone thinks I’m a speed bump because I can’t take it anymore .”
She added in the video caption: “In honour of my last day at this job, here’s the conversation that’s taken years off my life.”
“I felt the helium conversation in my core,” one person commented on the video.
“I used to work for a party store 30 years ago.
“I can’t tell you how many times I had this conversation.”
With Kaelin replying: “I feel your pain 100% and it hurts me that in 30 years the general public hasn’t learned very much.”
As another added: “if I showed u just the floor of where I’m currently working. you’d recognise it prob and understand why I say I FEEL THIS IN MY SOUL!!!!”
