What The Fuck?

Hey Dudes,

So a lot has been on my mind recently. First off, this guy came in to my work today who came in the other day. He talks and orders stuff and just kind of creepily stares at you. So the other day when he came in, Rick was on a break and I took his order. I forget anything weird about when he ordered, but I remember feeling weird.

Then he points to Rick and asks me if he's going to make his tacos. I said yes, but then I just went ahead and made it. The rest of his stay there was all right, but he came and ordered another taco to go and asked for a wrapper for his other taco. I brought one out to him and he said, "There was no sauce on it, that's why."

I have idea!

So he came in today and I took his order out to him. We usually take out green and red salsas when we take their orders out to them. Green being hot and red, mild. We have a little bit of green salsa bottles and mostly red due to popularity. When the lunch rush starts, we take both out to tables, and as we run out we take just the red. If a customer requests green, we'll grab one from an empty table.

So this guy, after giving him his order, points to this green salsa bottle on a table and says, "Can I get that green salsa?"

I say sure and proceed to get it but notice that right next to me is another table with a green salsa bottle. I pick that one up and hand it to him. He says, "Can I get that green salsa?"

"That particular one?" I reply are-you-fucking-seriously and grab it for him and walk away. I tell Rick and he wondered what that guy's deal was. So as I'm bussing tables, he tells me that the men's room is out of soap. I tell him that I'll check on it. He says it's been out of soap since Monday. I say, "Oh, I'll check on it," knowing that I won't do that now, but just to show him, maybe, that it's on my list.

Then I take the full bus tub back and grab an empty one and head back. He hands me his empty cup and asks me to fill it up for him. This is too much. My boss is there, so I do it, but I really wanted to freak out on him. I take it back to his table and place it in front of him and walk away without looking at him or saying anything or even acknowledging his thanks.

The reason this last part pissed me off is, we're not a restaurant. They order the food and we bring it out. That's it. Everything else is available for them to service themselves. For example, The water dispenser is next to the self-serve fountain pop maching, along with the rest of the self-serve beverages that he already got his first cup of water from. Second, he's been here before and knows how it works and doesn't tip us anything and I seriously think he's just purposely being an asshole. I'm going to start treating him like one.

Brad, my boss/owner of the place, would understand. I've done stuff like this before. I'm always nice to people unless they're seriously being asses, then I don't care.

The other thing that I've been thinking about is that there's been this band called Bowling for Soup or something. They have this stupid song about some lady who's stuck in 1985, not physically, but mentally and somehow can't get over it and live in the new world. But the way that the stupid lyrics are, it makes no sense unless this fucking stupid lady actually, after 1985, turned off any form of media and moved into a cave.

For example, the chorus goes, "Springsteen, Modonna/Way before Nirvana/There was U2 and Blondie/Music still on Mtv/Her two kids in high school/Tell her that she's uncool/'cause she's still occupied with 1985." I don't listen to much radio (aside from when I'm at work), but anytime I do, I hear shitloads of Springsteen, Madonna, U2, and Blondie. What the fuck is she talking about. As much as we're allowed to, we try to change the stations periodically so we don't go insane with all the shitty fucking crap on the radio, but I hear at least two to three songs from all of the aforementioned. I could go on and on about the rest of the lyrics, but a band that writes that type of music and that type of song which those type of lyrics, you can't expect them to be too clever with anything.

Before watching Wedding Crashers last night, I bought Black Coffee Blues by Henry Rollins. I'm just reading the first part which is a bunch of different peoples' lives and stuff. Their like miniature charater short stories, very short. The first one is about a girl who met him at a show and said he was nice. She also said that she was dissappointed, because she thought he would be an asshole. He replies, "Next time, I'll kick her ass so she'll cheer up." The stories are awesome so far. Wedding Crashers was pretty good. The best scene is the balloon bicycle scene.

Peace.
