customers_suck, people are always complaining about how "I said hi, and you completely ignored me". Get over it, okay? I've been accused of ignoring people before. Guess what? I didn't ignore you, I didn't fucking hear you. I don't get it, I really don't. I can hear people walking a block away, I can hear conversations half a block away, I can hear if the CD player is plugged in, but there's no guarantee that I can hear you if you're right next to me. Or I hear you, and it doesn't even register. Three minutes later I'll look up - "what did you just say? were you talking to me?" and you'll be pissed. Especially if I answered you the first time. Or I'll hear you and have no idea what you said. Sometimes, I'm tired of asking people to repeat themselves. Or lazy. Or just don't want to talk. Or think it's easier to just ignore you than to explain one, two, three, four times that I didn't understand you, because if I don't get it the first time, I probably won't the next.

And then sometimes people there complain because "OMG! He put the money on the counter! He couldn't touch me???? HOW INSULTING!" Maybe it is insulting. Bet it'll be even more insulting when I touch your hand, and then immediately wipe it off because I just don't want to touch anybody. I'll tackle you and make you hug me, but sometimes, I really don't want to be around people. No, really. Ask my mom how her nose got broken* some day....

And then there's the people who complain about cheap tippers. Now, I *definitely* understand this. A cheap tipper is scum, really. But nobody seems to complain about the fact that they need the tips to survive, and that they wouldn't be so needy if they were paid a better wage. Is anybody organizing protests in the states where it's legal not to pay restaurant workers minimum wage?

*sighs*

Sorry, it's just whinewhinewhine from me today, isn't it?

*_{This wasn't my fault. No, really, it wasn't. I was sitting reading, she was behind me, and she reached over to tickle me. Bad idea. I startled, sat straight up, and got her in the nose with the back of my head. Ow.}
