Five Days Of Suck Part 4: Fifty Shades Of Too Short

[EricKei]

He came in accompanied by the supposed love of his life who is supposed to be dead or in Florida. Surprisingly, GGTS laid off the flirting in front of her.

Y'all missed the perfect opportunity to have all of the ladies working there swarm him give him their (fake) phone numbers, pretend that they had reconsidered his lovely proposals, etc, with the girlfriend standing right there. If he tries to stop you, have everyone drop the act and comment, loudly, that he flirts with y'all every time he comes in...

One way or the other, you may never be bothered by him again ...

Commenting on someone's height is the same as commenting on their weight. It's personal. I would never comment on a stranger's height anymore than I would on their weight.

Commenting on height is even worse because with weight, you have the ability to affect it. With height, you can't do a thing about it. Well, in theory you can, but it only works going one way, and it's going to make a mess....

Re: the pennies....I have an easy solution for that. When I have to pay a total like $15.01 and I have the fifteen in bills, I hand over the bills, then grab a fistful of change out of my wallet (it's really just a small zippered purse). 99% of the time I get several of each coin, so I can quickly pick out a penny and give it to the cashier. Only takes a few seconds and then I drop the rest of the change back in the purse, take my receipt and my purchases, and GTFO of everybody's way.

People bitching at someone cause they're short always made me wonder. What do they expect you to do about it? Crawl into some machine & get stretched out? Blame your parents? Take 2 pills & see if that works & if it doesn't then bark at the doctor who prescribed it?

Part 3 there, part 2 here, part 1 yonder.

I was originally going to call this thread "The Trick" because...well, there wasn't much suck to begin with. No blood, either. I'm wondering if someone is trying to lull me into a false sense of security before tomorrow's epic day of suck.

Anyway.

Fifty Shades Of Too Short

I am short. Five feet high and somewhat unhappy about it. The racks at my pharmacy are high, about level with the top of my head. Today, I had at least five people comment about how short I was. I gave the death glare to one woman who was not much taller than I am. Yet even she felt the need to comment on how short I was.

"You know, it's like saying I'm too bald or too fat. Nobody comments on those but everyone comments on my height."

She shut up.

Little Bits Of Copper

Pennies everywhere. No, not Minty Fresh (thank fuck) but so many people had totals with pennies (ie a purchase coming to $15.01) and fumbled about in their purse/man purse/pocket/wallet for the pennies. Eventually I just collected a pile of pennies from people who rejected their change and just stuffing the pennies in for them. I hate giving people back huge handfuls of change, I like giving people back even totals.

God's Gift To Swine Has A Girlfriend

He came in accompanied by the supposed love of his life who is supposed to be dead or in Florida. Surprisingly, GGTS laid off the flirting in front of her. But when he came in earlier, sans girlfriend, he resumed flirting and bothering S3, who kept her responses polite, short and concentrated on putting away the tote of skincare she was working on.
