So I posted a thread on the Sucky Customers board about L--. She is an ancient woman who has nothing better to do but walk around town and be a pain in the ass to anyone and everyone who has to deal with her. Off the top of my head, here are a few things I personally have witnessed...
In my town we have two gas stations. One is self-serve with the lowest possible prices. The other is run by one of wealthy town families, full-service, usually at least 50cents higher than the other. A couple of months ago, I ran in to buy cigs at the self-serve and had to wait while L-- yelled at the guy behind the counter for not pumping her gas for her. How do you get to be 120 year old and not know how to pump your own gas, or understand the concept of a self-serve gas station? Or live in the same town for 400 years and not know which one is which?
Just a couple days ago, I was in line at Rite Aid (probably buying cigs again!) and was about 3 deep in line, the line being held up by L-- who was asking the poor cashier to flip over EVERY scratch lottery ticket, to check the serial numbers on the back. Finally she gave her trademark "aaah" noise and dismissive wave (seeming to indicate that the cashier is the one who is being troublesome) and said "Just gimme THAT one". Cashier asks "how many?" "JUST ONE!" gets screamed back at her. Seriously. A ONE DOLLAR scratch off ticket, took 10 minutes to be chosen. L-- then opted to stand next to the register to scratch her ticket (a no-no in most places) and then when she apparenty won a buck, jumped in front of the person in front of me, to order another ticket. When I paid and left the store, she was still in there, bitching that she hadnt won on the next one,and I actually heard her ask the girl to check the serial numbers AGAIN
Quick Sighting at the local laundrymat... L-- walks in and screeches at the attendant (my coworker at the time) "I'm just using the bathroom- you aint got a problem with THAT do you??" and out comes the snotty dissmissive wave as she hobbles to the ladies room
Another goodie is at the local general store...they have a coffee club, get your card punched for every coffee you buy and you get a free one with a full card. I've seen L-- in there on at least three seperate occasions, twice complaining that "the other girl" didnt punch her card last time (so she gets an extra punch this time!) and once that her card is full but she forgot to bring it with her. Of course, being that I live in frickin Mayberry, she got her free coffee.
This woman always gets her way by being an in-your-face bitch, I'm assuming she always has and no one wants to change it now. I'd love to see just one person tell her to f*ck off...lol...I think subconsciously she's hoping for that day too, given the way she laughed at me when I yelled back at her the other day
(I could search my memory banks and find more fun L-- tales, but baby just woke up..bye all!)
