A group of four women are outside the door peering in. Three are keen to have a look around. One is not. Her friend attempts to persuade her.
‘No I don’t.’
She points at the amethyst geode near the door.
‘What about that one? Don’t you think that’s beautiful?’
‘No I don’t. I think it’s disgusting. I hate it.’
‘But what about the smaller ones?’
‘The smaller ones are alright. I’m going to the hat shop. Come on.’
A man looking around couldn't help but laugh and I was a little lost for words. One of the four bravely stayed to have a look around, and I was very tempted to ask if her friend was always so... rude. I didn't, though. It was a strange over-reaction. The big geode is the one thing that people tend to love most, and this was the first time I'd heard anyone express their dislike at all, let alone so vehemently.
