 The 5th floor advertised a Halloween Bake Sale so I went up there all prepared with a bag and everything and all they had was some piddly store-bought stuff and honestly the sense of betrayal I feel right now cannot be assuaged by the mini red velvet cupcake I bought to save face.

OMG ITS ALIVE!!!!!! How are you, Maggie? It's been...forever an' a day!

[bossymarmalade]

IT HAS BEEN! I am alive, just older and slower. XD

[dine]

that is a great injustice! how dare they not be ready to serve you ALL the delicious, homemade treats?

also, Hiii!!!

[bossymarmalade]

HI HI HI DINE!! And omg right? How can you even CALL it a bake sale when it's all junk?

[st_aurafina]

Store bought? No! This is uncool and I feel ashamed for them!

[bossymarmalade]

They SHOULD feel ashamed but I don't think they were. You and I are the only ones with that decency.

[trascendenza]

Bake Sale my foot!!

[bossymarmalade]

I daresay if they'd offered a foot it would at least have been something they made themselves. XD

[monanotlisa]

OH NO I HATE THESE MOMENTS WTF IS WRONG WITH PPL?

- another baker

[bossymarmalade]

RIGHT? I mean, like there's the office potluck type thing where folks might not have time to cook/bake something, but this was a PLANNED BAKE SALE!

[torachan]

Wow, that sounds super disappointing! D:

[bossymarmalade]

It SO WAS. Then I told my co-workers and they were disappointed by proxy.

I'm not beneath egging if you need a egg launching side-kick!

LOL I am sorely tempted! Like they had storebought SUGAR COOKIES. That is the saddest offering I can think of, even if they were a quarter each. What is this world coming to when ppl don't even understand what constitutes a bake sale.

Is it me or is the availability of Cool Halloween Shit substantially more limited this year than last?

[bossymarmalade]

This is the first year I've really shopped for Cool Halloween Shit b/c glockgal and I moved into a townhouse, heh, so I never paid attention before. That said, Michael's had all its Halloween bizz for 70% off!!

[phosfate]

IT HAPPENED TO ME! We had one last month and I had to buy a soggy inedible lemon bar.

[bossymarmalade]

NOOOOOOOOO although at least you share my pain. I bought the cupcakes because they were really the only things that even mildly looked appealing and then shared them with the co-workers. Plus they also had a random container of pizza buns available??!?

[echan]

Nooooo! False advertising, boo.

[bossymarmalade]

IT COMPLETELY WAS. Especially since it apparently ran for two days? And they had all these full-colour flyers posted throughout the (5 floor) building!

[ephemera]

That seems - less than ideal. *virtual tea and real cake*

[bossymarmalade]

Honestly, when it comes to disappointing, fake bake sales are right up there. *sups on tea and cake*
