Shambles...

First of all, I know I haven't said much for a while, but this is just going to be a rant, I just need to vent, I'll do something real later.

I just got back from a night of drinking, we were at a place on old street till 6:30-11, then down to The Rocket at Euston, one of my favorite pubs. It's got decent music, low prices, friendly folk and a nice bar staff... Usually..

I went in today and there were two people stood separately at the bar, a man and a woman, the man being served. En route to the bar another man joined. When the first fellow had finished the barmaid came to me asking what I wanted. I, being that sort of person, pointed to the woman that had been waiting there longer and made reference to the fact. "I think it was her next".
So, of course, she walks over and serves the man. Ugghh. The woman looks at me with that, "oh, what a silly barmaid" look, I concur. While she is serving this chap four more people join us in our barside limbo.
After serving the man she goes to one of the fresh faces next to myself, blatantly leaving out the woman, he gestures to me saying it was my turn. I figure at this point she is obviously a moron with no facial recognition, this is why you hire Australians, it's Instinct.

Anyway, I decide to get my drinks instead of taking my chances and rolling the dice on who she might try and serve after I attempt to guide her toward the woman again. I get my drinks and while paying say, "I think it was actually that woman next"...

She clicks her fingers and points at me saying, "Great, thanks for telling me how to do my job".

A million thoughts run through my head, "If you'd have been doing it properly I wouldn't have to", "I was only trying to help, there's no need to be a dick about it", "Sorry, I didn't realise it was that time of the month", "She was standing right there, you ignored her twice, I wanted to check if you were in fact blind", "Fucking hell, I was only trying to be nice, she had been waiting since before I even walked in, you missed serving both of the people waiting at the bar before trying to serve me even though there were only three of us, I was actually trying to be nice to you so the other people waiting don't think 'What's up with this bitch, I've been waiting here for ages, she's looked directly at me and not actually bothered to serve me. I'm never coming here again, and if I do for some unforeseeable reason I'll make every effort to ridicule and taunt her, maybe even try and trip her over if she's walking by, what a cunt.' You see, I was only trying to be nice, and you just jumped down my throat about it. Fuck you for being so fucking sarcastic, I'm a sarcastic bastard most of the time, but usually only when people deserve it, which most of the time they do. But in this case I did not, I was simply trying to help a fellow patron. Do your job and people won't have to fucking call you up on it. Cunt."


But of course, I said none of that, because I really like this place and I genuinely try not to get on anyone's bad side, instead I just looked shocked while she walked off, then I turned to my friend and said, "What the fuck". He said it was probably just a joke, but then I said he was Mexican, and wouldn't understand unless it was a plot line in an overly dramatic soap opera... Well, I didn't say that either, but I should have done. I was too annoyed, it's two and a half hours later and I'm still annoyed, I don't know why. I like to think she's now going to hell and I've got a free pass just for putting up with her bullshit.


Peace and Fucking.
