For the past 4 days, I felt like giving up on humanity as we know it. It just seemed that no matter what I did, people knew what to do to piss me off. On top of that, almost every time I would apologize about something, the other person would get defensive/mad!! For example:
1- Apologized to sister about something. In return, she harded up like a shell, took the defensive, and started backtalking. When I called her out on it, she said she wasn't doing that. Hmmm. Even when I said "can we PLEASE stop talking, because you're yelling and getting more mad", she yells even louder that she is not yelling. I actually had to exit the house because she would not shut the fuck up. I don't believe thats how an apology works in the first place T-T.
2- Customer needed coupon at B&N, so she was calling home. I asked if I could take the next customer in line while she was lookin up things, and she said yes. The transation did not take 2 minutes, and at the end of it the customer who was on the phone kept repeatedly asking (in the snotties voice ever)" Can -I- be helped now? Is it -MY- turn?". WTF, you were the one that was unprepared, and I could of made you move to the back of the line. And when I apologized to her, she just shot me a shitt-eating looking. WTF
3- At work, but I'm on the customer-end at the cafe. I'm not savvy on all these coffee-drink names, so I began with saying "I think this is what its called.... blah blah blah blah". She just shot me a weird look, and I tried it again. After that didn't get though, I said don't worry about it, and grabbed a redbull instead. For some reason though, she was determined to get it out of me. And not in that "i care" way, but more in the "bitch, don't even think about changing this" kinda tone. WTF, is she mad that she didn't get a more expensive sale out of me or something? I think maybe she was holding a grudge because I was waiting for 2 minutes at the cafe for someone to help me, and then I leaned over the counter and yelled out "hellooo", hoping someone would hear me. Fucking hell, sorry if I inconvenienced your day THAT MUCH by BUYING SOMETHING from you.
Along with having retarded higher-up managers ( and if you couldn't guess, apparently my retail jobs arent going soo well...), it just seemed that I could not escape all of the shitt-dealing asshole around me. They were abundant in my inner and outer circle. UGH
Today, things became more bearable.
I was feeling like crap this morning, because I usually get sick from stress. I was determined to get my application out to Merrillville (manager-position at the new store, aerie), so I decided to make my drive out anyway. While I was waiting at a railroad crossing, I had a man get out of his car to tell me... that my brake light was out. Wow, thank you Mr. Stranger, that was very nice of you. No spite in that, just I honestly would not of known unless someone told me. So I made my way to the auto supply store, and picked up some new lights. I asked if the associate would help me, and he did, but then he and 3 other associates helped me realize that it wasn't a light-bulb problem. One of them even pulled out his cellphone and called a nearby repair shop. The store was closing, but they stayed open to take a look at my problem. When I got there, it took 20 minutes, but we found out the problem was linked to when my grandparents used to link my car behind the motorhome. I asked the mechanic how much it would be, and he said "No worries, its free". O_o Oh my god! Thank you random (yet awesome) mechanic dude! So now my lights are all perfecto, and I made my way out to the mall. I got my application filled out, except when I needed the phone numbers for my references.... I realized I forgot my cell at home.... Luckily, one of the associates mentioned that I could call in and he would put a sticky-note on my application with the phone numbers, just so I wouldn't have to drive all the way to Merrillville again. Thank you fashionable ae-associate!
I dunno, I guess things are looking up. I don't want to interact with people much, but still.... things are looking up. Keep your fingers crossed for me so I can get a manager-position next month! XD
