Insensitive Jerks, Homework Helpers, and Napoleon

[Princess-Snake]

I swear, SCs are attracted to my register.

1. I'm ringing up a guy's purchase. He sees my backpack IV, sees my abnormally swollen abdomen, and sees these tubes sticking out of my pants. Then he asks, "What's wrong with you?" How insensitive is that?! So I just smile and go, "Nothing's wrong with me. Why? Is something wrong with you?" His face turned red and he muttered a feeble apology.

2. Today was a slow day, so I'm doing some Business Economics homework. A guy comes up to my register and I shove my books aside. He sees my supply and demand chart. He reads aloud the title, "Demand for the Supply of Silopanna." He then says that "there ain't no such thing." I tell him I know this and it was merely used as an example for my homework. He then goes on about how they shouldn't use made-up products for examples and then blabbers on about how when he was a kid things were real or something like that. He also says that I ought to be learning about Chemistry. Then he rattles on about how his dad's a chemist and did you know two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom makes water. As he left, I'm thinking, "Thank you, Bill Nye. Now please leave me to Silopanna production."

3. This one was just weird. A guy walks up with his wife. As I finish ringing his stuff, he asks me, "Hey, do you know that guy who was afraid of the crocodile and fought with Peter Pan?" I'm giving him a look. Then I go, "Captain Hook." His wife turns towards him and snaps, "See! I told you it wasn't Napoleon!" How did this guy mistake a hook-for-a-hand pirate for a french dictating dwarf?

More importantly, how could this guy confuse reality with a children's story?

Thank you, Bill Nye.

Intertia is a property of matter.

Actually Nappy wasn't all that short...for the time. He is claimed to have been 5'2 at the time of his death which is just a little taller than the average French man of the time.

Great comeback! Good for you; maybe he'll learn to mind his own business from now on...

"Nooo, really?! Gee, all this time I thought it was made by clouds peeing on us." Condescending jerk.

The Frenchies haven't changed much in height since those days. My ex hubby is a French Canadian and he's 5' 5" in bare feet

The one guy has a point. You should learn chemistry. I'm going into my second year of Forensic Chem. It's so much fun. Plus, you get to blow stuff up.

Unlike most Frenchmen, who were just short on courage and personal hygiene
just joking, I'm of English heritage so It's par for the course.

IT was mentioned several times on the History Channel, it's on the Who's Who in History on the 5th disk of the Blackadder series, and it's also mentioned in Wikipedia.

I hate it when people tell me what I should do. Do what you're interested in. The other day a woman I was helping at my work told me sociology is for people who don't want to work. I'm interested in history, but it still bothered me. Plus I sucked at chemistry. My exam ended with me running to the bathroom holding my nose- I forgot the waft rule and stuck my nose over the chemical and sniffed. To this day I have no idea what it was.

It was even worse when I took Chemistry last year. First off, you got a classroom filled with students who barely know what 2+2 is. Then you got a ridicously small lab with outdated and sometimes mal-functioning equipment because the school board was too cheap. And throw in a teacher likes to sleep half of the class time and didn't even know where the fire extinguisher was. One of the students (actually a lot of them) liked to horse-play especially during labs. Which is a big no-no. Of course, the teacher doesn't care. He just wants to take a snooze. So during one of the horse-play sessions, we were doing something with chemicals and hot plates, I forgot what, when one chemical got knocked into another one that was on the hot plate. In about two seconds, the room felt instantly warmer with embers dancing a lovely ballet on the table. While everyone's looking for the fire extinguisher, the teacher (the extremely stupid idiot) got nearer to the fire to get a closer look. Maybe he was seeing if the embers were dancing to the Nutcracker or The Rite of Spring. Anyways, about 5 seconds later he knocked his hand into one of the chemical test tubes, adding more fuel to the fire, making it bigger, and burning his beard. Someone finally found the extinguisher behind a trashcan and put the fire out. The next day, I quit Chemistry.

Anyone think he'll learn a lesson?
