Fact: I live in an affluent area.
Fact: I get affluent customers.
Fact: Because of this, I get to see all sorts of cars and gadgets that become affordable for us working folk in 20 years.
I was standing at a different entrance to VIP today, it happened to be near one of our more busier paths (This is important).
This gentleman with his family pull in. He asks for his name on the guest list, his name being Technological Asshole and he says he's a friend of BigWig I Don't Know Of. I whip the list out and go through the names and surprise surprise I can't find the name. It may have been added on and I double checked but we didn't have his name.
"What, let me call BigWig, he'll bail me out of this." He says in that frustrated tone of one who had promises of getting lobster but just got a breath mint. He gets his cell phone out, a nice brand new RAZR which is part of the whole lovely gadget thing. He can't reach him. He does this again, I cut in.
"If you can't reach him I'm afraid yo'll have to go straight as I can't let you in without a pass." They never have a pass, they never do.
"I'm calling him again, do you know who BigWig is?" Said in that oh so snotty tone.
"No I don't."
"He runs operations here." Condescending hold the sarcasm.
While he's saying all this he is still trying to call him and he's holding up traffic. Remember how I mentioned I was near a busier road, well he's holding up traffic because he refuses to move. Now he whips out his Blackberry and tries to call him.
"If you can't reach him please go straight." I say with a little more harsh tone, he doesn't get the hint. He now proceeds to use ANOTHER cell phone and he still can't reach him, he continues to use more gadgets and to no avail. At this point, he decides to reverse and nearly hits a car, then he tries to wave traffic around him. No one wants to move and everyone wants to keep going straight. At this point, he decides to wait at a curb. Eventually he gets the point and just goes away.
