Hurts so good...Diary of a not so mad Black woman.

That lady is a tramp!

A couple of weeks ago, a guy came to my job to have a quick slice of pizza and we had a lttle conversation. Well, more like he asked questions and I responded. At the time, I was busy trying to clean up so we could get the hell out of there, but its hard for me to ignore people because i'm so damn nice, so I never snuffed him or anything, I answered each question with a smile and laughed at his jokes. When he was finished, he told me I had a nice personality, and a pretty smile, yadda, yadda, yadda...he gave me his number. I never say whether i would call or not. Sometimes I would come straight out and say I'm not going to call you, sometimes i don't say anything. I NEVER call. I don't even call my father in Maryland. Why would I call you? I don't say that, of course, but that's what i'm thinking. Anyway, I never call this guy, who is old enough to be my grandpa. Yesterday, he came in, walked to the register and said "Thanks for calling." and walked away. I thought he was being sarcastic. Turns out he was being an asshole. He walked back up to the register, with a customer standing there, and goes off on me about how I don't respect the black man, I don't know what i'm missing, blah, blah, blah...then walks out. Whatever. I meet crazy people at work everyday. Today, he walks in when we haven't opened yet and I'm mopping the floor. I tell him very politely that we don't open for another half hour. He stares at me and I stare at him, waiting for him to do something. He then says, "You're a tramp." I was kind of shocked, but I said "Fuck you! Get the fuck out!" Which I regret. The logical thing would have been to ask how he came up with that conclusion, then say "Fuck you." I lost my head. The restaraunt owner here's me cursing, and asks whats going on. I tell him and he and my boyfriend run after him. That was pretty much the highlight of my day. I was hoping he would come back so I could say all the things that I thought of throughout the rest of the day. Or stab him. I did, however, get a good laugh out of it.
