The Pit is filled with such hate for people for being assholes. Rarely, though, do I see people pitting themselves for their own actions. I’ve seen some self-pitying pit posts, but I’m about to pit myself and my friends, and I don’t think I have any excuses for our behaviour.
So it was Friday night and my friends and I headed into our local video rental store to rent a couple of movies for the night. We had already decided we would get chips and chocolate at the grocery store after the movie pick-out. Then, we were going to head to Subway for dinner. All went well until we hit Subway.
First friend was great. She told the person behind the counter exactly what she wanted and did it without confusing anyone. My other friend, however, was under her mother’s instruction to bring back a sub for her. So, after my first friend ordered, that was when friend #2 decided to whip out her cell phone to phone her mom to see what she wanted. She couldn’t have done it, say, earlier, before it was time to order, or when her mother told her she wanted a sub. I should mention now that at this time, I noticed a mother and a daugther enter the restaurant and wait behind us
So, the poor employee working behind the counter, seeing that she wasn’t ready, looked towards me for my order. I wasn’t ready either. I was still trying to decide between a BLT or the yummy chicken teriyaki. So, yaking goes on for a few more minutes on the cell phone. And my friend and I are completely blocking the way so the mother/daughter couldn’t approach the counter to go ahead of us. Said friend finally tells the employee her mother’s order. After she placed the order, I knew I wanted a BLT, so I told the employee who had finished serving my first friend, so. My friend, then ordered her sub. But you know how they have to place the condiments onto the sub? Well, friend didn’t know what her mother wanted or didn’t want on it, so she had to call again. Wasting more and more minutes. I’m standing there trying to decide if I want mayo or no mayo. The employee wasn’t paying attention to me anyway, so I thought I had time.
Then, all of a sudden, I hear “This is ridiculous. Let’s get out of here.” in a really annoyed tone. I turn around and see the mother/daughter leave. Friend on the cell phone finally finishes talking and she pretends to look confused. “What was that?” She says. “That was confusing.”
No. It is fucking NOT confusing. We were taking too long, being wishy washy brats, and not letting people who knew what they wanted ahead of us! Not only did we piss the mother/daughter off, we pissed Subway off too because they lost two customers instead of us.
The more I think about it, the more angry I get. We were such assholes!!
