Today is Not My Day.

cranky.JPGCafe Metro was severely understaffed today and screwed up my order three times (first, they tried to give me the wrong bagel. Then, they stated to toast my bagel. Then, they tried to put the wrong cream cheese on my bagel).

When I got to my desk at work, there was a HUGE FUCKING COCKROACH right next to my mouse. I couldn’t even think of eating my bagel at this point, and I had to disinfect my desk before I would even consider working at it.

Then, I called Bank of America, and for reasons that could not be explained to me by the customer service representative, they sent my replacement debit card - which expires in 14 days - to my old address in VERMONT, which they have not had on file in nearly three years.

I should’ve rolled over and gone back to bed this morning.

    I agree. I was enjoying the snuggling.

    One of the differences between you and me is that, had I just killed a roach on my desk, I wouldn’t have thought twice about eating my bagel immediately afterwards and I would only MAYBE have washed my hands, much less my desk. So basically, the difference between you and me is that I’m gross and you’re not.

    Anyway, just wanted to point that out.

    I have no problem getting into fights on the subway, but I honestly don’t think I’d have the nuts to send back a bagel twice if they got the order wrong. I’m weak like that.

    That’s really gross, but after all that effort you went through to get your bagel prepared properly, I would still eat it after the cockroach incident.

    The cockroach is definitely a problem, but OMG what are you going to do about that mouse??? ;)

    this is why i hate you, you fuck.
    you can’t deal with the fact that they toasted the fucking bagel?it’s the same thing, just toasty. snobby entitled piece of shit.
    i picture you and your disgusting “yeah this city is great!” friends, sitting at the bar, watching the game, drinking a beer.

    ANimal: I never sent the bagel back. I just yelled at the people making it as I watched them do the opposite of what I told them three times.

    I guess you’re one of those “I’ll eat whatever is put in front of me” kind of people.

    And I have no idea what the fuck your “yeah this city is great!” line has to do with anything.

    Consider yourself lucky! I fell in love with bagels when I was visiting the US a decade ago. Can’t get them for love or money down here :(

    I guess it evens out as I don’t think you have crumpets there?

    Fortunately, I can bake them both :)
