  • IS THERE ANYONE HERE!?!!!ELEBENTY (long)

    i got pretty pissed off at this lady, so if youre easily offended, just skip it altogether or ignore the last sentence.

    quiet as hell thursday night. S and i are at info, i head over to manga to do a little maintenance. info is less than 10 feet from me. i sat on the floor so i could reach the bottom shelves. suddenly a rather large woman with a limp barrels up and starts shouting "IS THERE ANYONE AT INFORMATION?"

    i look around and dont see S. woman sees me and and shouts "ARE YOU IN INFORMATION?"

    dude im sitting right here, no need to yell. "yeah hold on, let me get up off the floor."

    "well if the girl up front had done like i had told her there would be someone here already."

    i ignored her and said "what can i help you with."

    "i want a new copy of this. i just returned it because the battery was dead (it was some sort of sound story book). i dont know why you sold me a defective copy and why can't you give me a credit for a new battery? and why dont you have benches for the handicapped?"

    wtf. "well, we dont have this in the store anymore, can i order you a new one?"

    "what do you mean you dont have it? you didnt even look."

    "the computer is telling me we don't have it."

    "go look."

    "maam, it says zero."

    "customer service leaves something to be desired these days."

    holy shit, and the gate between my brain and my mouth stopped working and i said "well, sometimes customers leave something to be desired these days."

    she kinda looked at me funny, and i said, because i needed to get out of there before she started screaming again, "let me go look just to make sure."

    i come back two minutes later to find her still complaining to S, who came back, and A, the cashier who originally helped her. she was still going on about benches.

    "nope, we dont have it but i can order it and itll be here in a week." and i got her information, and the whole time she's still bitching about A not calling anyone over here immediately (because the ten seconds she had to wait for me to get off the floor were too long) and about there not being benches.

    "well, we'd like to have automatic doors, but that aint happenin' either, so..." i said, and she finally hobbled away, grumbling. i noticed at that point she walked with a limp because she had an artificial leg.

    i told S and A that i wanted to roll up and just kick it out from under her for being a douche.

    Huh. Well, I don't hold it against you. I think she went overboard with her hate.
    Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

    Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

    I wish porn had subtitles.

      after being such a hag, i'm not inclined to have any sympathy for her either; being disabled or other doesn't mean you can be hateful or abusive.

      as for the battery, all she had to do was connect her brain up and the answer would have been there...damn.

      Sorry, but while I can do many things, extracting heads from anuses isn't one of them. (so sayeth the irv)

        LADY! You flip the damned book over, take a rinky-dink screwdriver and unscrew the cover, then replace the battery with a watch battery! What is WRONG WITH YOU?!

        *Ahem*

        *Composes self*

        *Sips ginger ale*

        What?

          I understand the lady is handicapped, but that is no way to treat someone who is helping you. Or at least attempting to help you.

              But that would entail having to use some sort of common sense, which she obviously was not blessed with.

              DDD: Cuz it's cool

              So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

                      you know i'm actually reminded of an episode of "Golden Girls" where one of the women had started dating (or at least associating) with a man in a wheelchair, only to find out he was a complete jerk. the moral of the story being that, just because someone's in a wheelchair (or has a fake leg) they can still be jerks just like everyone else.

                      we just tolerate it more because we don't want to be seen as beating up on someone, or attribute it to anger from their physical ailments

                      and yeah, what ever happened to just changing a battery out? you don't need legs to do THAT!

                            I would have taken it a step further and said "People these days leave something to be desired."

                              My father is handicapped. He had to relearn to walk and had a ton of frustration, he could have taken it out on other people but he never does. They try and teach that in rehab, that being a jerk will get you the same treatment handicapped or not.
