My bedtime drugs are goooood..... + Stupid customer of the day!

[zinnith]

Apparently, having long hair means you have to brush it before you go to bed as well as after, or you'll wake up with a crow's nest on your head. I'm learning new things about life!


And just to justify this post - have a Stupid Customer of the Day! Although this one is actually more tragic than funny...


Mrs Boss: Welcome to (extermination company) how can I help you?

Old lady customer: Yes, hello? Is this where you report vermin?

Mrs Boss: Yes, that's right. What do you have trouble with?

Old lady customer: Well, one just moved in downstairs.

Mrs Boss: Um... excuse me? Is this a rat or something we're talking about?

Old lady customer: No, I think he's Greek. His cooking smells funny and he plays loud music.

Mrs Boss: Sorry ma'am, this is an extermination company. We deal with vermin, like rats and ants. If you have a problem with a neighbour you should take it up with your landlord. *click*


All right, the Swedish word for 'vermin' is close to the one for 'tenant' but not that close. People never cease to amaze you, do they? *sigh*

That's hilarious! People really just aren't there sometimes. lol

I think it's the directness that makes it so funny... Swedes are usually not that unsubtle when it comes to racism.

Maybe she did want an extermination. You never can tell...

I'm afraid she actually did. You talk to all kinds of weirdos in this line of work. When I worked for directory enquiries I once had a man call and rant for ten minutes about how there were queers in the government (which is kind of strange since we don't have any openly gay ministers as far as I know - he must've meant the minister of finance's ponytail). Eventually I got tired of him and told him that not only is the country run by queers, he was talking to a queer telephone operator. He couldn't hang up fast enough...

Perfect. :)

LOL! Ah, that's priceless! Sadly, one of the comments I heard most frequently after Pres. Obama's inauguration was some variation on, "Thank God nobody tried to assassinate him—now if he can just make it through the next four years...." :¨(

BTW, are your hairs just getting long? Or did the drugs cause your hairs to scramble overnight?

[zinfic.livejournal.com]

I've heard that one too and it's really depressing because I can sort of see it happen.

My hair is getting looong! Well, shoulder length at least, which is the closest to the much coveted cascade of glossy curls I've ever managed to get...
