I had a real jackass today.
I was talking to my co-worker and saw the guy walk in. I wrapped up the conversation by saying "Anyway..." and sort of trailing off.
I turned to the man. I was just about to say hello to him when he says to me:
"Anyway! You sound like Eeyore! Ha ha ha! Anyway!"
He was using the Eeyore voice from Winnie the Pooh cartoons. If you haven't seen them, the voice is very apathetic and depressed sounding. Eeyore moans and groans a lot.
I don't think I sound like that at all. But even if I do, its not exactly my fault. He shouldn't have been making fun of me.
So I turned my back on him entirely and refused to look at him. My co-worker helped him select his wine and rung him through. I was glad she was there because I didn't want to deal with this jerk.
And the whole time he was paying, he was using the stupid Eeyore voice. And I could feel him throwing me glances. I think he wanted me to laugh along with him. I didn't get the impression that he was trying to make me upset. He was just socially retarded and clearly didn't know how to strike up an appropriate conversation.
I completely ignored him, hoping he'd get the point that he was being mean and rude. I think towards the end, he started feeling uncomfortable with my icy silence because when my co-worker said goodbye, he kind of muttered something under his breath and slunk out.
(Sidenote - He was wearing a skintight bicycling suit. I mean, SKIN tight. I didn't know whether to punch him or go bleach my eyeballs.)
