The bag who wanted a bag

[edible_hat]

This SC was yammering away in a foreign language on her phone, while buying one loaf of bread. When I gave her her change, she said something that sounded like "bag" but I thought it was part of the phone discussion since she didn't even pause the discussion. Then:

SC: *CBF* BAG!

Here are the replies I thought of straight away:
-It's already in one.
-I know you are but what am I?
-Sexgod! Wait, is it describe-yourself-in-one-word day?

But needing to keep my job, I handed her a bag containing a bag containing a loaf of bread.

-Sexgod! Wait, is it describe-yourself-in-one-word day?

Can I just pretend that you really did say that?

Go ahead! Also feel free to imagine I put the bag over her head.

Bwahahaha!

I hate it when people are on their cell phones when you're ringing them up...even if they say something to you, they don't make eye contact so there is no way to tell.

the little bluetooth things are even worse, especially if they have long hair so you can't tell if their talking to someone or just crazy

That's why bored people watchers around the world invented the game "On the phone or off their meds!"

I love that game!

But OTOH, if I just had a bad night at work (ok that happens every night) if I want to rant and rave in the car, most people on the road think I'm on my Bluetooth. So I don't have to worry about anyone thinking I'm looney tunes.

Back on topic, when I had my car accident this last summer, the guy I nudged at less than 5 mph got out of his car and started screaming in Hmong and immediately dialed 911 (neither of us were injured) and was screaming at the 911 dispatcher in half Hmong half English.......

I wonder what will happen the day that guy actually gets t-boned or in a serious accident where he can't just fly out of the car and scream at the top of his lungs or even drive away. He drove away from that accident with little damage.....and he acted as though I totalled his car.

sig-worthy. Can I steal that?

sure. Apparently "sure" is too short a message for this forum.

Quick update: the bag came back last night, and again yelled "BAG!" for her one item. I'm so looking forward to March 4th or the day we run out of bags, whichever comes sooner. Why? http://www.byobags.com.au/

Personally, I think you should yell 'HAG' back and when she gets pissed, tell her you thought it was rhyming day.

That, and if the shoe fits....

When this happens to me I pretend not to to understand them and then they get pissy Then I hand them what they want with a big smile and look them straight in the eye and say 'THANK YOU' or 'You're Welcome!'

She must be related to the dipstick who regularly comes into the petrol station and shouts "Ten Mayfair!" at me. Must be idiotese for "hello" or something.

LOL I get this at work

Me: Hello
Passenger: 10B!
Me: Hello.

I say hello until they have the manners to say hello back rather than just bark their seat number at me. It's a fun game!
