A Princess,a landlord, and a jerky Canadian

[Clover]

If something like that happens again-

"You're a princess?"

"YES!"

"From where?"

"Uh...from here?"

"Uh oh." -reach for phone book- "Hold on just a second."

"What are you doing?!"

"Looking for the number for customs. Clearly there's been some sort of mix-up at the airport or whatever method of travel you used, because you seem to be in the wrong country. This is America, we have no royalty. Don't worry, I'll get ahold of a customs agent for you, and we'll get things sorted out so you can go back home!"

I've decided in my own mind that the Canadian was being ironic and getting a little of his own back in memory of being subjected to similar ridiculous demands by citizens of the USA. Because I'd hate to think that the disease is actually spreading to other countries.

Please don't disabuse me of this notion, it enables me to stay out of the loony bin.

Les Nessman was suspicious of everything. That's part of why they started letting Bailey do some of the news broadcasts.

We actually have a mobile home park a bit north of here called "Ameri-Cana" and they fly both the American and Canadian flags on separate poles outside the entrance. We're almost as far away from Canada and still in the US as you can get...then again we have a LOT of Canadian "snowbirds" here in winter

... I'll get ahold of a customs agent for you ...

Customs says you need to be quarantined for ninety days in a bitch box doggie crate, so if you'll just come this way...

Sorry, honey.

I promise you, most of us are quite aware that other countries are just that: other countries. Unfortunately, we've got our own share of blithering idiots and we're quite happy to let them go bother someone else with their ridiculousness. Because then there's more coffee and Timbits to spread among the rest of us.

Is there a box in existence big enough to hold that much bitch?

I saw one for mastiffs at PetSmart....so maybe.

The tale of the "princess" reminds me of the historical group known as The Society of Creative Anachronism. Within the group, they do have a "royalty", with members earning titles of king, queen, and the like. However, the S.C.A. is also know to hold their member to a high order of manners and courtesy, so I very much doubt these yahoos were even remotely associated with this group.

WOW! You need some Gibbs training. NEVER say SORRY. It seems to encourage them.

Customer: I'm a princess! Blah blah blah!

Employee: Sorry, I was mistaken. You see, I thought princesses were pretty.

[HawaiianShirts]

P: No. I'm a princess you have to do what i say. I am the customer!

L: Oh, i see crying for the Gestapo are we?? Well, Ill have you know i am a landlord!! So, do as I say!!

CI : There's no Canadian flag outside!!! I am from Canada I demand that you fly the Canadian Flag for me!!

Of all the absurd... Since when do those things give people the right to... GAH! What? Do they just pick or make up some vaguely unique attribute and convince themselves that it makes them deserving of special treatment? I can do that!

I'm a government office drone. Do what I say!
I'm a cancer survivor. Do what I say!
I graduated from college. Do what I say!
I'm a Sagittarius. Do what I say!
I'm a 20-something male of mixed European heritage. Do what I say!

I don't understand these people at all.

Princess is going to have a rough life once Mommy Dearest is no longer nearby to rescue her. What self-respecting mother would raise a kid like that?
Landlord guy is worse than the customers who claim to be lawyers. What's a landlord going to do? Reduce your peasant rank?
I think the Canadian was just trying to show off some misplaced patriotism. Perhaps he was still steaming from being kicked out of Canada for being too impolite.

That's been my mantra for years. The grocery store subscribes to "8 Phrases To Make Customers Happy" (or somesuch) and the first one is..."I'm sorry. How can I make it right?"

That was actually done by Weird Al Yankovic...

Background

Self-entitled, self-important, deluded little immature wh*re, me thinks
Her mother must also have serious mental issues to be referring to her almost 20-yr old as a princess like that

I am thinking someone just did a check of their ancestors and found out they have noble/royal connections somewhere in the past (more than half the countries before WWI had a noble class).

Of-course it probably from a country that killed off most of their royal families.
