I was shopping at Trader Joes and a young twenty something store employee stopped me, "Mam", she said, (Mam?? is she really talking to me? mam??) "where did you get your cardigan?" (now that's more like it) "LOFT" I answer. And she stares blankly--"you know, Ann Taylor's LOFT?" Still blank. So I instruct her where to find a store, and move along. So I have found my niche-my choice of caridigan color-still cool, my choice of store to purchase it at--only cool to those of us "Mams".

SSHHHH They're listening
I was shaving this morning with my $.25 razor when I realized.
I NEVER TOLD YOU ALL
Check the shot above. Do remember this post? Where I went on and on about a certain razor company. Well . . .they found me. I was checking the comments and realized there was one I hadn't read. So I checked it. HOLY CRAP! It was straight up from the razor company. What the Freak??? How did they find me? AND it wasn't just a form letter sort of response. She straight up quotes me in it. Go back and read it--it's crazy. Apparently us blogging moms are a threat, or why would they care?
I think I figured they found me because of the image I stole from their site. I think that is how they tracked it. But I'm not sure.
But freaky eh??

YIKES!
That happened to me once when I was bitching on my blog about Calico Corners and their crappy sales.
I think they have employees whose job it is to scour google for any bad P.R.
Scary!
My question is, are they going to send you any good coupons?
holy crap!!! THAT is freaky deaky for sure.
i hope you don't mind if i linked your story on my blog. i find it so interesting in who actually reads the blogs. i hope its ok.
If ya aren't private and do link to companies or use their pictures they totally find ya! That's how some have gotten reviews, giveaways and all that jazz! Crazy internet world eh?!?!?!
Found ya from Addie's blog!
oh my goodness! that is pretty crazy. who knew that kind of thing would happen?
i came over here from addie's blog by the way. very funny story!
Wow! VERY freaky....and something that would happen to you! :) You always have the BEST stories and as I was reading it, I could totally hear your voice.....and I was laughing because it's so funny! I guess I didn't realize that people could be found so easily....glad you said it like you felt it and hopefully they will read it again and know that NONE of us are buying the refills E-V-E-R!!!!
i'm sure it wasn't the image stolen. some companies have google alerts that they get notices when their name or product shows up on a post or website or blog or whatever. then someone reads those alerts, comments, and whatever become of that.
that's how i got the giveaway from the purse hook lady.
apparently that brand does something like that too. if they were smart they'd send you something free.
yeah now think of some other companies you'd like free garb from and write some reviews. muahhhh hahaha...
It looks like we have several mutual friends; that's how I found this post. I love this story; it's hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
