Testing
Did you ever feel like the universe was testing you? It seems no sooner than I decide to just accept what comes and put a smile on my face a dumb ass gets right up in my face to challenge my faux serenity. For example. . .today at work a woman came up and ordered a peppermint mocha.
Me: I'm sorry we are out of peppermint.
Lady: Okay, get me a peppermint white mocha then.
Me: We don't have any peppermint. We can't make that drink.
Lady: Fine, I'll take a peppermint latte then.
Me: We don't have any peppermint, sorry
Lady: What can you make with peppermint then (oh yes, she really asked that)
Me: Nothing. We do not have any peppermint. We can't make any peppermint flavored anyting.
Lady: So I can't get a peppermint mocha?
At that point her daughter finally chimed in "Mom, shut up and listen to the guy. They don't have any damn peppermint. Pick something else!" Now I may have been hallucinating but I could have sworn that I heard the lady mumble under her breath "well, he could have said they were out."

oh yes, you will be tested. there's an old adage - NEVER pray for patience, because you'll suddenly find yourself in the longest lines of your life.
My boyfriend works for one of those big box retailers. Right now he is the managers that deals with all the return problems. As soon as I read this I called him at work and read it to him. He just laughed because these people are really out there.
OY Vey! he has my utmost sympathy. I bet he deals with twice the amount of loons i do!
