  • Please Don't Rip My Face Off

    A women’s exercise class was going on at the school, but we had to move them from our main school hall into the sports hall due to a presentation that was set up for the morning. No big deal right? All I had to say to the women arriving was “The exercise class is in our sports hall rather than the main hall. All you have to do is walk down the corridor and take the last left.” Normally they would take the first left. Judging from these women’s reaction, I might as well have told them to hike up Mount Everest for their class!

    The people running the class entered.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Me: Just so you know, we have had to move you into our sports hall tonight due to a presentation in the main hall.
    Organiser: Whaaaaaaaat?
    Me: It’s OK, it’s the exact same setup and size as the main hall, it’s just at the other end of the school.
    O: Whaaaaaaat? Well, why didn’t you tell me this before? How are people going to know where it is?
    Me: I will tell them when they arrive.
    O: You’d better.

    They stormed inside.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    First group of women arrive.

    Me: Hi just so you know…(I do my little speech about where the class is)
    W: Where? Huh?
    Me: It’s the exact same corridor you normally walk down, except you take the last left instead of the first.

    They all looked each other, confused.

    W: Which way again?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A woman walked in on her own.

    Me: Hi there, just so you…excuse me…excuse me!

    She belted past me as if I was a canvasser on the street trying to get her to buy things. Fine, I wasn’t about to go chasing after her.

    To be continued…

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Next group arrive.

    Me: Hi there, just so you know…(speech)
    W: Oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaan! You mean we have to walk all the way down there?!

    They slowly walked down the corridor like it was the biggest inconvenience in the world. Funny, I thought they were here to do EXERCISE!

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Three more women arrived.

    Me: Hi there, just so you know blah blah blah
    W: What? What? It’s moved? Why didn’t the organisers tell us beforehand? If I had know there was going to be a change I wouldn’t have come! I am going to rip that woman’s fucking face off!!
    Me: Woah! Wait a minute! She didn’t know anything until she arrived. You only have to walk a little further down the corridor. It’s less than a minutes walk. We had to close the main hall due to a presentation.

    She stood there, glaring at me, red faced, while her friends giggled.

    Me: Please don’t rip my face off.

    She turned around and walked off. Her friends thought it was hilarious.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    And now the conclusion…

    The woman who ran past me slid into the reception area about fifteen minutes after the class had started.

    W: Excuse me, I have been waiting in the main hall for the exercise class, but no one has shown up yet. Is it cancelled?
    Me: No, they have just moved to the sports hall.
    W: Why didn’t you tell meeeee?
    Me: I did try, but you ran off.
    W: *blank stare*
    Me: Maybe you should head down there before you miss anymore of the class.

    She did. She had been sat in the main hall for twenty minutes. The main hall was completely filled with chairs, tables and presentation boards. Where exactly did she think this dancing was going to take place?

    What's the problem? Wouldn't the walk serve as a warm-up?

      Laziness, pure and simple. How dare we as the lowly employees cause such an inconvenience to a customer, no matter how big or small? No, forget that we are simply doing our job, we're there to kiss their asses and make them as happy as possible.
      And these people are there for some sort of exercise class? And they complain about having to walk a few extra steps? Yeah, I'm thinking they won't be losing that much weight

        Does this really surprise any of us? Sigh.

          Oh my God. I seriously don't know how you kept your cool and kept from telling them to STFU.

          Some of these idiots at the school are worse than your bar patrons, and I truly didn't think that was possible.

            I would suggest a sign on the door of the main hall, but we all know that SCs don't read signs.

Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

                    You'd be surprised at how many people show up at an exercise class who aren't really there to exercise.

                      Were those two women from the last time you wrote about an exercise class who went outside to smoke and got locked out part of the group this time? I'd totally see them having a reaction like those.

                        You mean like the guy who parked himself on one of the pieces of equipment and did nothing the whole time but watch a ball game on the TV?

                          Dang. I guess that's like my mum getting upset the day I watched a movie and didn't put her excercise DVD back in the player, so she had to go put it in herself. Had to walk ALL THE WAY across the livingroom! (Note, the livingroom is not big. Also, this was a "walk your way to thin" dvd.) I laughed, and then I ran away.

                            I truly don't get this.

                            I park far enough away from most places so that I HAVE to walk.

                            (the only exception is my office on campus, because of where faculty parking is)

                              Am I the only one who finds that hilarious?

                              Thanks, CRML; I missed being able to laugh at your pain!
                              You gotta polish a memory like a stone. Chip off the parts that remind you it was just a game. Work it until it's indistinguishable from any other memory.
