this week I had to talk to some crazy old lady on the phone about how dirty stoners who were always drunk and high were probably not the reason her computer and her friends' computer (he also hates the idea that marijuana should be legalized) got all fucked up and additionally I don't care about Goerge Soros giving money to said dirty stinky hippies on the radio shows etc. call the FBI field office thank you g'bye
A coworker had to talk for like a half hour to some lady who had decided to sue Oprah for stealing her book off HER computer so I guess I made out okay

The other day some guy comes back to return a ring. He starts yelling and screaming - after my husband, who doesn't realize it was sth he had bought and gave (according to the client) a low price. He screams his head off even on the the street. He says he will call the police and blabla. The next day he comes back. He had thrown the ring or done something to it, cause it was almost broken. How he had done this, I do not wanna know, cause it would require either a bulldozer or a hella of lot of strength. I manage to solve the problem saying he can have his money back (but without the VAT, shit I need to repair it, there's no clear reason why he wants to give it back) or he can have something else. He gets two rings (for higher prices but he doesn't need to pay anything extra). He then proclaims that he had just heard from the doctor he had a lump behind his lung and that this was the second time, after three years, he's sick again, the first time being his liver. He thinks he will die, he has to wait to hear when he will do chemo. He also adds he is sorry.
I get scared when people act crazy but I always try to remain calm and solve it without any more hassle. I try to think there must be sth else going on in their lives.

People are already muttering that somebody needs to call the police.

great story hoos. i mean, i have to say, sometimes i kindof enjoy witnessing people that fucking out of the loop, cuz you get to just look at them and think/say, damn, ur a big fucking moron, and i am so much fucking better at life than you. of course, you say it politely. if you're at work.

Without raising my voice I tell her "M'am, I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
"WHAAAAT?!"
I radio maintanence to bring down her bags (which I accurately guess are still unpacked because I just checked her in half an hour ago) and start serving the people behind her. She wants to know why she's being asked to leave etc etc, answer being
"M'am, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. My bartender, myself, and my general manager will not tolerate your hate speech on our property. We have not and will not charge you a cent and you're free to take your business elsewhere. I'd rather not call the police, but if you insist on continuing to disturb our guests I will.

I get the sense my gay General Manager will not mind losing her dollars.

i'm lebanese but my personality is amerrrican. i like america, just not american trash. american woman jabbing ppl and screaming "faggot" in a hotel cuz she got embarrassed = american trash. faggot shouldn't be treated lightly, and neither should arguing against it - because wherever you or i may live or whoever we may know, there are still plenty of ppl living in plenty o places that do use the word faggot and the like to great detriment.
though the plain and simple notion of human equality shouldn't need a medal to encourage it (self-righteousness etc.), still these days, as a gay man, i find it worthy of praise.
