Well, I guess I actually do.
The ratio of crazy people I deal with on a day-to-day basis has gone up in recent days.
My two favourite examples come from yesterday and today:
This guy walks in yesterday to pay for $30.00 of gas. Well, actually, it was $30.01. Not that I care...But when I asked if he was buying the gas for thirty dollars and one cent, he gets all defensive and he's like "It's thirty dollars even."
Me: Well it says $30.01.
Guy: It says $30.00 on the pump.
Normally I wouldn't give a rats dragging testicles about a penny, but this guy was being such a prick about it. Plus he was paying with a card. If it had been cash, there would be no problem. But I can't just pretend with a card. Anyway, he finally says, "Never mind just ring it up," and reaches into the "take-a-penny" tray. I thought he was just taking his penny back. But after he left, I looked at the tray and it was empty! He took them all!
WHAT?!?!?!
This morning, I opened the store like I normally do. When I was done all of my usual opening chores I noticed the floor was pretty filthy. Being that it was still early in the morning (6:30 am or so) I figured I had lots of time to mop the floor so that it would stay relatively clean for the day. I was about half way through when a man walked in and stood in the doorway, watching me mop for a second. Then he says, in a thick French accent, "That's a good job for you, eh?" Then he bought his death-sticks (cigarettes) and left.
Is it just me being over-sensitive, or does that sound vaguely sexist? Maybe I misinterpreted him and he simply meant that it was a good job because I was inside and it was damn cold out this morning. I don't know. It's a little weird to say anything like that at all, really.
Anyway, I think I'm going wedding dress shopping with my sister tomorrow, as the weather kind of dashed any hopes of trying to go over the weekend. I'm kind of excited about it.
Also, Dan and I got a new entertainment centre for our living room. It's nice, cuz his computer is no longer the centre of attention in that room, as it's been moved out and to the side of it. My computer is now down the hallway. I like this set-up better, I think. After 3 years of living here, the living room finally feels like a living room.
That's all for now. Blog ya later!
(Eeewww! I can't believe I just wrote that! hahaha)

Hi Diane,
First time in your blog and I think I came through Laura's blog. Nice to know there are still crazy people out there in Victoria...lol. I don't even whether people here care about pennies or the fact that they are right. But, it was amazing (read funny) to read that he took all the pennies. And yea things people say...Anyways, I belive the wedding dress is for you, so CONGRATS...:))...my blog is http://seventeentomatoes.rediffblogs.com/
Well, thank you for the comment. But if you look at some of my earlier entries, you will see that I actually do have a sister who is getting married.
I don't know if I know a Laura or not. I don't think I ever frequent her blog in any case. It's weird how people meet, isn't it?
Oops Sorry...my mistake...lol..Well then pass the CONGRATS to her...I will read your previuos entries soon...Promise!!
Hey Diane,
Yea, I think "rip-off" was a strong word to use but I guess I used it just for effects. But yea Ramayana can't be rip-off of something...he he. Apparently it was written few million years ago and has been passed onto generations by word-of-mouth and I think they still have the original copy somewhere written on leaves.
Thanx for visiting my blog though. I am now a regular at yours.
