Yeah, it's not funny

[Food Lady]

I left the house and it had barely started to rain, but hit hard (absolute downpour) by the time I got to work. I don't know where my umbrella is, but it wouldn't have helped. I hurried in, feeling like a giant hose was turned on me. I had so much water IN my eyes that I couldn't see. I was able, at one point, to see a car pull up beside me and roll the window down. I don't know what they wanted, but really? They thought I was going to stop?

Well, I did get in, get cleaned up, and on a lane. My second customer took one look at my drenched self and said I should've brought an umbrella. OK, in the state I was in (soaked shoes, too!), that wasn't funny, so I simply handed him the receipt and told him, unsincerely, to have a good day. Cue catbutt face 'cause I didn't feel like kidding around with him. *sigh*

"Oh I did bring an umbrella. Can you imagine how much wetter I would have been without it? It just boggles the mind, doesn't it?" While looking as innocent as you can manage.

[Jester]

"I did bring an umbrella. I floated in on it. But now that you mention it, I probably should have brought a second umbrella, either to keep me dry or for use as a sail, depending on which way the water was flowing...."

And I haven't gotten any rain by me today...

I've had 2 days of (nearly) constant rain (currently stopped), more planned for the rest of the week.

He reminds me of that one jerk (he knows who he is) that told me, "Y'know, you aren't very friendly are you", when I was working 3 days after my grandma died. I was seriously on the verge of an emotional breakdown all day and was fighing to stay dry-eyed and semi-alert and he decided to be a jerk. I walked away and cried in the office. It took 15 minutes and 3 coworkers to get me to stop.

wait...it rained where you are?! can you send texas some!?

[Food Lady]

My shoes soaked it all up.

I've had days like that. So not fun.

Eta: it was worse when I worked at the last grocery store and I'd do cart duty for an hour or so in pouring rain. Blarg.

I thought I was lucky yesterday avoiding an horrendous rainstorm while travelling on a bus. It was so bad, the driver could barely see the car in front of him at one point.

Anyway, YAY, it stopped just before I got to my stop. I got off, started walking down to the vets and Mr Asshole in sports car thought that would be the best time to swerve into the kerb and through the gigantic puddle that was trying to drain away!

It would never fail that as soon as it started raining, ALL the medivacs would activate/be enroute...or a drop in C-5/17/130...something that meant hours outside on a ladder. There was a reason I kept my Gortex lined boots with me every shift.

My second customer took one look at my drenched self and said I should've brought an umbrella.

I like how they tell you this like it's some sort of revelation.

"What? Really?!? You mean there's a device I could have brought that would have kept the water falling from the sky from soaking my clothes through? Wherever might I acquire such a device?"

I'd check the local regulations. I'm pretty sure that if you got his plate, you could have him charged with assault.

I'd totally go after his ass with the law if given the chance.
