I guess I should be flattered, but....

So I go into the Einsteins on Downing and Evans to grab myself a little breakfast this morning.

I go in just ahead of a large group of teenagers with their teacher in tow.

I am already at the "Order here" counter when they come in along with a construction worker looking dude on his cell phone and clearly distressed about the group of kids.

The teacher says to him "we will let you guys go first, before we all start ordering."

No one has come to help me yet, so I wait by the counter and construction dude starts to step up to get in front of me.  I give him a crusty and plaster myself against the counter.

At which point he says "I think your teacher said you would let the other customers go before you guys ordered."

Indifferent

Eh?

I stand dumbfounded for a second before snorting "I am NOT with them... I am close to my 20 year reunion!"  And then I proceed to turn back to the counter to order.

I guess I should be flattered, but I get the feeling it is just because I am short that he said that, and he was SO snarky and lame about it, if I was a teenager I would have gone in front of him anyway.  Pardon me, your highness.

I can promise I have AT least 5 years on him, and the teacher looked fresh out of college, which I also found funny since he was "my teacher" in that guy's mind.

I just want my bagel thin,dude.  Step aside.

  • Asshat.  What was his response when you said that?

    Not one word - he didn't even really step back, he was still close enough that when I finished ordering Miss Terri (an Einsteins institution) the checker asked if we were ordering together.

    I said "NO, I am NOT with HIM!" and shot him the side eye again.

    Asshat indeed.

  • If it makes you feel better, I got carded when DH and I went to see a R rated movie the other day.

    Even Ryan was like are you serious?  We're married, and you could be our kid!
