*Blink*
Context:
Working from a coffee shop, Antidote Coffee in Houston.
Lady: *walks to the back of the building then immediately up to the barista.
Lady: *with that unmistakable, condescending tone where every sentence ends with excessively upward inflection* Hi. yeah. um. all your bathrooms are occupied??
I couldn’t hear him respond, but I watched him blink at her for a solid 5 seconds before he could speak.
A little later I get up to use the restroom but didn’t notice the men/women signs so entered the one I thought was Men’s. Apparently, it wasn’t. WHOOPS! Whatever. I do my business and walk out. The lady was there looking at me.
Lady: *with a scoff* You were just in the women’s room???
Me: Was I? oh man. Whoops!
Lady: *stares expectantly*
Me: Well! I’m married, so I instinctively put the seat down. *flash the smile*
Lady: *continuing to stare* But that’s the women’s room???
Me: *blinks for a solid 5 seconds* (I have to believe she’s used to this look)
me: Yup.
*more blinking* *more staring*
Me: would you like me to go back and NOT enter the bathroom? I’ve tried before but time travel isn’t really my strong suit.
*more blinking*
Lady: *scoffs, walks away, gets her purse and coffee, leaves.*
#monday
As a side note, go here.
The coffee is good, the ambiance is relaxed, and the baristas are patient and kind.
Keeping the world in balance.
Have you ever eaten something so delicious it made you angry?
