Why can't I be led

I have been out 'running' around today. Usual stuff, except that I did the apt. thing. So, here I am sitting in front of this young girl (probably not even my daughter's age) listening to her sell job on the apt. I was interested in. I have NEVER dickered with sales people. Just don't do it, no way, no how! So she is blah, blah, blahing about this 2 bedroom apt (which I really don't need)I say, "Is it in the trees, cause I really want an apt. in the trees?" "Uh, no, not really, BUT there are some trees by the building". So then we go around the next issue, a 1 bedroom, "do you have one? I inquire AGAIN. "Yes". "Is it in the trees? "Yes it is, but it is on the bottom floor (which I had nixed already)But! It is in the trees!
Now, I don't know if you can see where this is going, but I finally had to take a God
Break and go to my car for a heartfelt prayer.
I have never stood up for myself nor have I done much bargaining. Just isn't me. However, she (the youngster) was already amusing herself as she was sliding the pen towards me for my signature. After my quick car break, I went in (this time I felt a stronger presence about the room). I ended up getting the two bedroom, w/o trees but alas much larger for $10.00 more a month than the 1 bedroom. Now, my original question was "why can't I be led" the complete sentence; quietly? Even at best I probably did ok for myself but still wanted to stammer around the office and mul over my newfound voice. I am woman hear me ROAR! But not before I scream, kick and just about anger an entire nation (feels like it anyway).
Whew! Too much information? I'm taking a nap, I'm worn out. TADA!
