I’ve always considered myself to be fairly good at math. 

So when I’d drive by this certain furniture on the side of the highway that said “7 days until closing”, and a week later, it’d say “6 days until closing,” I knew something was up. 

This furniture store—which I’d always pass by on me and my mom’s weekly Costco runs—was lying straight to the face of its customers, and no one was saying anything.

This made me mad. 

I didn’t take ten years of Kumon to be tricked by a marketing gimmick by some dreary furniture store. I knew that a week later, the sign would still say the same, the furniture store would still be open, even though six days had obviously passed. 

Though this enlightened me to the lies that surround us in everyday life, my mom told me that if you paid attention, these lies were everywhere.

So, it’s this furniture store’s fault that I have trust issues. It’s this furniture store’s fault that I’m a skeptic. 

Like Donald Glover once said,

This is (consumerist)America.
