Okay, I've been following this topic but not said anything till now, much

though I've wanted to at time. Katja, I just can't let this one go.

ROTLMAO!!

Actually, I've found that if they're stupid enough to ask " why? " after

you've just said " I'm going to the ladies room " , it works just FINE to

stare at them and say " Because I have to pee. "

However, when faced with a truly difficult situation ... I can't help but

remember one memorable moment. I was having a bit of a rough day, not

exactly Little Miss Peppy. This one guy was apparently bored and kept

trying to talk to me about trivial crap (yes, this was at work) - me, I was

just trying to get my work done so I could go home and fall over. He

kept saying " , what's wrong, you're not happy today? " ... " I don't feel

well, Kurt, please go away and let me get this done. "

Repeat, for what seemed ad nauseum.

Finally, he came up to me AGAIN a few hours later and got all smarmy and

said " What's wrong? "

After deciding that taking a knife to him would probably get me, ya know,

arrested ... I just looked at him and said " I'm bleeding to death, and

you're REALLY pissing me off right now. "

Dead silence. For about thirty seconds. Yes, it actually took him 30

whole seconds to process that.

" Oh. "

He never bothered me again, not that day nor any other.

Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Blessed relief!!!!

LOL. I may be after your heart, but you're after my verbal mannerisms.

For the past week or two, I've found myself both writing and saying

" because, ya know ... " ... as in " because you can, ya know, get arrested

for that. "

The word " Wheeee!!! " has also come into play a few times.

Maybe I'm just too easily influenced. First kefir-drinking, now THIS!

*gasp*

My last, forever me work for an employer job was as a bank teller. They'd

downsized so much that at lunchtimes there was one teller and the branch

manager was the relief teller. Asked " her " to relieve me to go to ladie's

room saying it couldn't wait, which should be obvious to a woman. All you

can say through the phone with a customer in front of you. She refused with

no reason and did not have a customer at the time. Gave my resignation few

weeks later listing that and all other employee rights violations, personal

and ethical reasons.

Fine. You may refer to me as Godessa. Or Rupert. Whichever floats

your boat.
