Bitch bashing and purse snatching

Okay, just got home from working a 10+ hour day of driving around and delivering stuff to stores and I'm all sweaty and stinky and DUST-ee from rummaging through all these display cases that no one ever cleans, but that I clean once a month because all the shit sticks to me when I go rummaging. Piss.

So anyway, I had this new store to service and it's in a rougher part of town... like I was walking behind these two guys and one guy the back of his shirt had rows of severed heads in jars on it. Yum. And the other guy's shirt said on the back, "(oh shit i forget...) FUCK YOU". Nice. So I get to the store and I think the woman behind the counter looks familiar and so I go count what they have left and go explain who I am da da da and then I go bring her an order and she tells me she remembers me and my manager because a long time ago she used to work for another account we service--the QD. And I said, "Oh! I thought you looked familiar!!" but isn't that what you always say when someone says they know you. Duh. But she did look familiar. So then she starts going off to me something like this:

Yeah I left that store when that stupid East Indian bitch bought it. She's a fucken racist. I sued her--and I won. It cost her THOUSANDS to get rid of me. She hates whites, and wont' hire them. Or men. It's against her culture. Once she said to me "Back in India, I had servants" and I said "Well this here's Canada and I'm not your fucken servant!". She's one eeeeevil bitch. All the locals hate her.

Of course, I know who she's talking about... but I was completely floored that she was saying stuff like that to me. Holy crap. The woman she's talking about never seemed evil to me, just kind of uneasy. But then I noticed that all the white people that used to work at that store kinda faded out after she got there. I mean, most of the employees.... actually all the employees I've seen are female Asians. Hm. But whatever, it's a big account and she's never been nasty to me.

So then I finally stopped for lunch at a mall and had a Taco Time soft taco with no tomatoes because tomatoes are gross. The woman sitting at the table next to me (in this HUGE busy mall food court) says "Excuse me? Could you watch my stuff for a moment (nose wrinkles) they gave me root beer instead of coke". There's her purse and her food and one grocery bag, so I say "sure" knowing she'll take her purse with her.

But she doesn't.

She leaves it sitting there and stands up to go exchange her drink. So I say, "well, I'll put your purse next to me so someone doesn't reach over and grab it". And she says, "okay". and goes off to get her coke.

?!

So of course I took off with it and now I'm a bazillionaire.

No.... I sat and quietly chewed my food until she came back, glancing over to her tray every once in a while to make sure her hamburger hadn't run off. She came back two minutes or so later, and I handed her purse back and she thanked me.

Holy shit.

I guess I must look trustworthy. Hm. I wonder if I do. I mean, I know that I'm way older than 17 but people still tell me I look that young and they think I'm in highschool even though I'm past four years of college.

And I purposely haven't posted any pics of my face, trying to keep up that anonymity that is slowly leakin away.

So whaddya think? Do I look trustworthy? Would you leave your purse with me?

Yo yo yo suuuuuuuuup?

That woman could be just like me, and I guess also like you can be sometimes: trusting that most people are generally good.

Mindy--I would have swore she was going to set me up as theif and I would be sent to prison and have Lisa Hartman as a roommate. ????? Tom snapped me in a bit of a goofy mood... no disorderness present, I promise!

Ghost-I read your comment and thought I'll have to ask Shenry and then lo, and behold, he already picked some out!

Shenry- Damn, I do owe you a beat. LONG overdue. Sheeiit. I'll see what I can do- still a total novice really. I like "Special K" and "Bullet Hole Bilbo"... but I think I'm going to have to go with Lil Phx. *smiles*

Phil-Yeah, I've been a lot less trusting lately, and when I do put a bit of faith in someone, they are often my parents age, not anyone of my age.

hahaha

I'd TOTALLY trust you... :D

They say that insane people are the most lucid of us all, you know. Therefore I interpret that as you being trustworthy. (Even though the two are not even remotely related [and who am I, internet stranger, to call you insane? {then again, I am not exactly "of this earth", let's say, and they say "it takes one to know one", no?}]).

Mrrrch. Too many brackets. Lost train of thought.
