I'm tired of everybody up in my business. No...I'm not talking about people getting involved in my personal life (which by the way, my personal drama consists of whether or not I should watch The Office live and then DVR Grey's Anatomy or other way around). I'm talking about employees at restaurants and other establishments that just seem to have no sense of personal space or timing. Example...last night at the gym one of the workers was wiping down the machines as per his duties. However, he proceeded to wipe down the bike that I was on while I was on it. Not only does that defeat the purpose since I'm obviously still sweating over it long after he leaves, but he was basically date raping me...giving me that "hey, it's my job...what can I do?" look while I just had to sit there and act like it wasn't incredibly awkward. Then today at Subway it was pretty much the same thing. I'm sitting there eating my 5, 5 dollar, 5 dollar foot long sub and homey starts wiping my table RIGHT THEN. No pressure there to not spill the pounds of lettuce they put in those subs over his freshly washed table. He couldn't wait till I had gone? I mean, I realize when business is slow you have to do other things to keep busy, but not at the expense of the customer.
Lesson to be learned: timing is key. Don't wipe my table while I'm eating. Don't wipe down my machine while I'm still working out. And don't vaccuum my living room right in the middle of Saved by the Bell. I don't care if I've seen them all...that won't fly in my house.

I don't know if this counts or not, but I'm "studying" in the library right now with my feet up a little table. One of those too-old-for-college students comes up and yanks the table toward herself, nearly dropping my feet to the floor in the process.
ReplyDeleteSo, my timing issue: Don't try and steal my footrest, you stupid old woman who is gonna be too old for a career if your dumb ass ever finishes school.
That feels better.
