15 year olds, film, and condoms
funny story:
So I agreed to print a bunch of negatives for a friend of mine at work so he can see what they look like. Figured it would take me a minute. Our negative holders suck and so i started getting my greasy fingerfrints all over them.
I decided to solve this problem by going to Ritz camera around the corner from where I work.
There was this young looking kid--maybe 15 or 16 behind the counter
"hey, do you guys have any of those finger condoms?" I asked.
and the kid just looked at me cluelessly
"You know, what I'm talking about, right? Those little rubber things you put on your fingers for film---finger condoms.."
The kid started getting this sort of weird look on his face, like between utter embarrassment and disgust.
"We use white gloves," he said.
"Oh. Okay Do you know where I could get any of those finger condoms, tho?" I asked
and the kid just kept staring at me with this grossed out look like i was crazy.
"I don't think so," he said.
"Okay, cool, " I said and turned around to leave.
There was this well dressed little woman behind me, and she had the EXACT same face he did, this weird like, "you're a fucking freak" face on and she moved away from me as I walked past.
What the hell?
