You stole my thunder.
On Friday, Mexico celebrates its independence with parades, music and fireworks.
No, it isn’t Cinco de Mayo (that’s May 5, literally), though some Americans get the holidays confused.
Mexico’s Independence Day commemorates Sept. 16, 1810, when Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla urged Mexicans to rise up against the Spanish-born ruling class.
Can the Danny Phantom fandom please be called the Danny Phandom? Because really, that’s all I want in life right now.
I was sick, coming down with something and just starting to show symptoms. All day long, I’d been sneezing. My head was starting to hurt and the next day I’d be so ill that I’d end up leaving work less than 3 hours into my shift.
I was starting a sneeze when the customer came in. Lip curled, nose flaring, hankie at the ready. She made a joke, aha! I caught you.
Hahaha, yeah, I’m getting sick, haha.
A few minutes later, she was near the till and looking at product and where I was about to ring another customer through when she had a question. And instead of saying something polite like Excuse me, or even.. Hey..
“Hey Snot Nose.”
Nope. You’re not calling me that.
Not even jokingly. I’m sick and I feel bad and.. I don’t know you well enough for you to say that to me.
So, I stood up for myself. “There’s no one here by that name. My name is L—-. If you have a question, you can ask for me using that name.”
If my memory serves correct, she walked back to the till calling me honey or sweetie or something. I rang her through without another word.
Not even my husband was insensitive enough to make fun of my being sick. I don’t know this woman apart from the occasional transaction. I have customers I consider friends, and none of THEM would have gone that far.
It wasn’t funny, it wasn’t cute. It was rude.
