I was working at the grocery store once, and this old lady (about 10 years younger than Jesus, I'd say) comes up to me and asks (in the most stereotypical old lady voice you ever heard):
OL: Excuse me, do you have Seventeen magazine?
Me: We sure do! Right this way!
I lead her to our newsstand and presented to her, quietly proud of myself for knowing where it was. Suddenly, OL says,
OL: Wait, this isn't what I want!
Me: Oh, I'm sorry, what was it you wanted?
OL: That other one...
Me: (thinking at this point she's looking for some teen magazine) Uhh, YM?
OL: Sports Illustrated!!
Me: Ok, it's right over here.
So I lead her to the other newsstand...
OL: Is this all you have?!
Me: (For fuck's sake, Sports Illustrated is right in front of you!) Well, did you have something else in mind?
OL: Baseball!
Me: I didn't know that's what you wanted...
OL: HOW CAN I TELL YOU WHAT I DON'T KNOW?!?!!?
That's right, Granny Methuselah yelled at me like I was the moron when she's too fucking senile to know what the hell she wanted! I don't remember what happened after that, but it pissed me off so much!! God, I hate old people...
