TGIF

Every morning, I take the train to work. Once I arrive in the city, I stop for breakfast. I stop at the same place every day and have become friendly with the workers. I give them serious credit for putting up with so many people so early in the morning. I know that I would never be half as friendly as they are. I found that out the hard way this morning.

I was waiting in line to place my order when all of a sudden a shooting pain rushes up from my toe. I turn to my right to find a super large woman trying to push passed me to place her order. When I screamed "Ouch!" I think she realized that there was line because she got back in her spot behind me awfully quick. Shortly there after one of the workers calls for next. When he noticed it was me he said hello and I was about to greet him back when said super large woman points her finger in my face and screams in my ear "He said next!" The worker looked as shocked as I was. I slowly turned around and glared at her for a moment before proceeding with my hellos and placing my order. It really did take all my strength not to go off on her, but in a place so close to my job, I have to aware of my behavior because truly, you never know who knows who.

I proceed to my favorite cashier and told her what had just happened. She said she was not at all shocked because the day before a woman called her a "piece of shit" because the restaurant charges $.50 per extra salad dressing. Now I am sorry, but why is that the cashier's fault!? Anyway, she says I should have told her off and I reply that it was obvious that this woman was ready to bulldoze people over to get her bacon and egg fix. We laugh. I take my change and say goodbye. As I turn to leave I realize the super large woman is on line behind me. I meet her eyes, look towards her 2 containers of food (oh yes, not one but 2 breakfasts)laugh to myself and carry on my way.

Now I should mention that under normal circumstances this woman's choice to eat so much shit for breakfast would not phase me one bit, but the fact that she was a rude bitch made it just a little bit funny to me. Could she possibly be the same woman who bulldozed Shar off the street? haha Maybe she is traveling the East Coast.

Pople are evil in the morning. Especially at the busy delis and they need there coffee!

Thats what I love about NYC. You find your favorite deli spot and you give them a smile and they remember your order. Those deli guys work their asses off!

Haha! Sounds like the same woman to me!

If she can't deal with people in the morning, then maybe she should eat breakfast at home by herself.

What a jerk!
