Tell Mum,
Mamabear says she is sorry for corrupting her daughter!!! LOL Oh wait don’t tell her that..it would be rude to say something that I didn’t mean and well I truly love corrupting people to say things out of character LOL LOL LOLI’ll be laughing all night about that!!!
Ok Mammabear you are gonna love this. I sit and type hoping that my BP comes back in range.
My mum and I had planned to go the cinema this evening (big step – yes I know) well anyway we had pre-booked tickets to prevent the old anxiety showing its ugly head having to wait in a queue etc… anyhooo well we had to wait for 40 mins……..by the time we got to the front of the queue (general manager serving) our film had already started and he was saying the same thing to everyone. Now its Harry Potter opening night (which we weren’t going to see) so you would expect all tills on .NO!!
Well I could feel the Hulk building up in me and me going green or red lol! Anyway its seems our payment had went through – no notification by email or nothing and he tried to take me down by saying "oh you are complaining and you don’t even have tickets"
Well!!! I really let it rip (my mum tried not to laugh as she knows how diplomatic and usually placid I am). Mammabear like you with your endo! I said to him thats right you stand their hiding behind a womans skirt! He went grey and asked how he was behind a womans skirt! I replied well while you a manager hide behind your wee till you have a young girl taking all your slack because you didn’t get your tills fixed or hire more staff or say to higher management we can’t cope with that influx of customers. Instead you stand behind your wee till with your rehearsed speech. So anyway… that was me warming up!
I said I want a complaints form (other people were asking for them and cracking up too) he replied oh you can get one after the show or walk to the other end there (this place is huge) I said NO have you got a phone there? "yes’ well get one of your "seemingly extra staff" to bring one down to me! 
” title=”Smile” /> ” title=”Smile” /> A woman came up "assistant training manager", I said no offence but you won’t do I want to speak with someone who has more authority she replied oh its only me and him that are on as management staff. Well I said…. would you like to be taken down like that infront of a full queue of people? Would you allow your m other to be treated in such a manner in front of people? She replied NO! I said so you are now expecting us to go to another queue and be late for our film which NORMALLY if we were late we wouldn’t be allowed in.!? I don’t think so!
I let him hear me when I said this isn’t the end of this… there will be a complaint going in and if I find out that my mother takes unwell during the night with her COPD due to the stress of this incident I will be back!
Oh my goodness…now I know I had the right to say all those things but I can’t believe I said that about hiding behind a woman’s skirt! My mum laughed all the way home as its so out of character for me when I am well….
Oh gosh I am so worked up but knew it would give you all a laugh and help others who are having a bad day.
<Mxxx
My mum had to calm me down by then because of my heart! I turned and said to the ignorant manager—- I will be
HyperM,
Had to say this to you to give you another giggle.Of course most of you know how I am. So sweet
and nice but man don’t muck with me. I keep to myself when i go out unless I know people. I surely will come across someone whom I think is having a bad day and say hello or just smile. I help when I can even if it’s just to ask to reach for something someone else can’t. I go to a grocery store that I have been to for over 10 years. Everyone knows me and of course knows and adores my kids. They have seen me in my best outfits and they have seen in ripped up jeans just out of working in the woods and have even seen me with hair undone and I don’t tend to wear make up often so it’s like home to me. THey have heard my kids and have scolded them a time or two when they have seen me at my worst. Which i was greatful for and have sat me down and bought me a soda when my sugars where low when I was pregnant with my 2nd and unaware that I was in need of it. Couldn’t ask for a better place. They too know my humor and have seen my wrath on occasions and they bust out laughing because it is usually at some idiot who just can’t shut up when asked. lol
Ok so having said this:
One day I was at this same store. I was pregnant with #4 almost due as a matter of fact. I had #2 and #3 with me who were 3yrs old and almost 2 ( the 3rd and 4th are 23 months apart and #2 and #3 are only 18 months apart). They were in a double stroller in front of me while I hauled the shopping cart behind me. In front of the curtosy counter someone said to me "wow how many kids do you think you’re going to have!?" As I looked up in shock at the audasity of the person who asked me that question I guess the look was obviose and my almost two year old daughter says "oooooooooooooo you’re in trouble". With that everyone at the curtosy desk and myself busted out laughing. The person who was rude walked away as we were laughing at how a 2 yr old just basically shut this person up.
Oh and yes my now almost 5 year old still has the same attitude lol and and so does #4. Such attitudes for two little girls that are such ladies. I wonder where they get it from lol
Ok that is my laugh for the day…I’m still laughing over yours though. That might be with me all weekend !!!!
Oh and dh is right now picking up ds14 from seeing harry potter. SO i’m just laughing so hard !!!Oh thats funny mammbear! Out of the mouths of babes!
Yes Emily I agree I am much more assertive! Like today my parents hoover is broken after 2 uses (already had this model replaced after one day before) so my hubby calls hoover ( we purchased it as a gift for them) the lady said oh well there must be a blockage blah blah blah….we cleaned all the filters etc…anyway I said let me talk to her. He wouldn’t and in the end got no where. So after he put the phone down I pressed redial he was like what are you doing. I said getting a new hoover. Voila! Spoke with someone else said not acceptable..huge commpany blah blah blah….got authorisation code to take it back to the shop!
Just to add to your laughs! My mum called later on last night and was in fits! we couldn’t get parked at disabled spaces last night (my mum has a badge) anyway she said I could see you checking every car (all 30 or so) to make sure they had a disabled badge. She said I was just waiting for you to ask for pen and paper to leave someone a message if they didn’t have a badge! She said I am so unpredictable at the moment she doesn’t know what to think I am going to do next.
Well at least I will have some storied for boring dinner parties lolRoll on Wednesday in the hope of removing the thyroid and the HULK! lol
Until then "in with anger out with love"
Well I’ll try my best!xxx
