"It's mothers daaaaaaaaaaaay"

[customersruinmylife]

Yes, so it's mothers day in the UK. Nice day of the year. So it's 1:30 pm and a childless lady comes up to the bar.

Lady: Yes can I have a vegetarian breakfast?
Me: Oh I'm sorry, we stopped serving breakfasts at noon.
Lady: But I still want one.
Me: I'm afraid I can't. All the breakfast foods have either been thrown out or packed away.
Lady: But its mothers daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. (she seriously whined like that)
Me: I'm sorry theres nothing I can do.
Lady: But all I want for mothers daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay is a vegetarian breakfaaaaaaaaaast.

I have to point out this woman was on her own, no children.

Lady: Fine! I'll go somewhere where they will give me what I want!

good luck and good day to you; i've never heard of a daycare that handles adults as their charges...

Oh, the queues of slightly guilty-looking people with a single bouquet of flowers at the tills yesterday morning. I was shopping for a phone and watched them with amusement.

Doesn't take much to amuse me.

I got away with a very luxurious box of Booja Booja truffles, for those interested. They come in a hand-painted Kashmiri box - idea for use as a jewel case after the chocs are a distant memory.

Granted, I'd run out of time to get to the beauty parlour for a voucher, and we sell these, but that's the joy of getting overtime after whining for long enough that you haven't been getting any for a while...

Was Mothers Day yesterday?


Its not til May over here.

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

I'd love to whine back at them.

"But it's Beltaine and all I really want is a day where I don't have to deal with whiny ass, bitchy entitlement whores."

Or say to them "And I want a day where I don't feel like screaming at the stupid [fornicate]ing customers who think they deserve the universe on a silver platter. See, nobody gets what they want."

OT(sorry)

And this raises the dilemma,(as my mom lives in America and I live in London) should I have bought a mother's day card yesterday or wait until the American one???
Or do both?

[Rapscallion]

I'd wait until the US one, so she'll be expecting it. Send it early, though.

I'd wait until the US one, so she'll be expecting it. Send it early, though.

Of course, if she's not expecting it, it makes it all the more special. But seeing as it's past, I guess you'll have to wait for May. Next year, then.

By the way, Raps, what does not getting any have to do with overtime?

/mindinthegutter

I think for Mother's Day my mom is getting a thing that's like a diaper genie for cat litter (assuming she doesn't buy it for the cat's birthday, which is also in May, first...and I wouldn't be surprised if she did, hehe).

Bah! Don't frighten me like that. I started getting afraid, thinking it was mothers day here (in the US).

I gotta get through Easter and my parents' anniversary first oh, yeah, and the cats' first birthday (double)

I make it a point to be a horribly forgetful daughter on Mother's Day. I forget it on purpose. If a week goes by and my mom doesn't call me to remind me, I call her to nag her about not calling to remind me. (I do the same thing for her B-day, which is next month).

Once, I found the perfect present for my mom, a book on Baltimore Quilts, and put it, a card, and a giftcard to a fabric store on one my parents' many bookshelves (we're all bibliophiles, to the extreme). When mom called me for my yearly nag on "forgetting", I let her know that her present had been hanging out on a bookshelf in the house for almost 2 months.

The bad news was, my dad had gone through and reorganized all the books, took us DAYS to find the damn thing.
