How did he hear me???

[customersruinmylife]

I swear, this guy must have had super strength hearing! Or either that he was trying to put the shits up me.

I am wandering around clearing and wiping tables. I go over to a table where two "gentlemen" are sat and begin clearing their glasses. There is a glass that has the TINIEST amount of liquid left in the bottom of it.

Me: Is this drink finished with?
SC: NO! Don't you dare take my drink!

I jumped back a little.

SC: You were going to take my drink weren't you? You were going to take it and pour it away!

I didn't say anything. I turned around and walked off, amused by how much of an idiot he was. He called after me.

SC: AND WIPE THAT SMUG LITTLE SMILE OFF YOUR FACE!
Me: *under my breath* Oh shut the fuck up.
SC: I HEARD THAT!!!!

He heard me, I was about ten feet away and I had my back turned to him when I said it.

Yeah, like that extra millilitre in your drink is going to get you more hammered!

[jjllbb]

I bet he didn't even hear exactly what you said. He probably just expected such a natural response to his jerkishness.

I love when they try to control your emotions or your expressions. "Wipe that smile off your face!"

For goodness sake it's not bad enough that we have to serve them and we're forced to take their B.S. all the time? They have to completely control everything about us including our bodies and minds?

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

Funny, I was told to do the same thing myself by a customer.

Strange thing was, I was a telephone operator.

[Snowbird]

Yeah, like that extra millilitre in your drink is going to get you more hammered!

Hey, you were trying to steal his favorite part; the backwash!

[Mister]

He didn't hear it. At the very best he could have seen your lower jaw moving just below your ear but most likely he just watches a lot of TV. The trick of yelling "I heard that" has been used in comedies for ages.

[Athaelia]

What a dick!

It's funny that these customers think that they can talk to us any way they want, and then get all bent out of shape when there's a reaction to their sucky-ness. Who do they think they are? Just because they're paying customers doesn't mean they get to treat people like crap.

Oh dear. That turn of phrase generated a most unwelcome mental image.

[Mr Hero]

Me: *under my breath* Oh shut the fuck up.
SC: I HEARD THAT!!!!

Yes, sir, that would be because I said it.

[MoxisPilot]

Wish I had that kind of hearing.

[BookstoreEscapee]

Oh dear. That turn of phrase generated a most unwelcome mental image.

Heh, me too. I decided to chalk it up to a Britishism and walk away...

[PepperElf]

"wipe that smile off your face!!!!"
to me that means give them the sweetest smile possible...

[Chanlin]

"Wipe that smile off your face!"

*grabs rag, rubs over face, repeat*

I'm sorry it just won't seem to come off.

[RootedPhoenix]

Yes, sir, that would be because I said it.

"wipe that smile off your face!!!!"
to me that means give them the sweetest smile possible...

"Wipe that smile off your face!"

*grabs rag, rubs over face, repeat*

I'm sorry it just won't seem to come off.

oh my dear you guys are SO .

I love you all SO much. *files these away for safekeeping*

[blas]

"Only after you wipe yours first. Your face is kind of resembling a cat's rectum."

[raw456]

I would have turned back around and asked him exactly what he heard me say. All in the sweetest possible voice with a big sugary smile on my face.

What an overreaction! And, you had asked him if he was finished with it first.

I have to admit, I hate it when people try to take my glass when there is still ice in it. just because there is no drink left, doesnt mean I'm finished. I like to crunch ice Most ask anyway, but sometimes.......
