I'm A Magnet For Rude People

Sloan and I were getting ready to leave the Circle Center mall on Saturday when I remembered I did not have any cash for parking. I ran to the ATM and took out a twenty. I gave the parking attendant my twenty and here's our conversation.

Lady: Do you have something smaller then a $20.00? (The parking was $1.50)

Me: No I'm sorry.

Lady: Silence....as she looks at me with disgust like I had just given her a hundred dollar bill covered in vomit.

Since I was with Sloan I made it a point to keep my mouth shut and thought maybe it was a good idea to look at Sloan because if I continued to look at this lady I knew I would ask her if there was a problem. The attendant takes a good 5 minutes to give me my $18.50 back. I'm pretty sure it probably took her that long to calculate what she actually had to give back to me. As she handed me my change she shook her head again with disgust with each dollar bill she gave me, not only did she shake her head she laughed at me to let me know she knew I was obviously pulling a fast one on her. Once she finished I looked at her and smiled and said thank you very much, have a great day.

As I pulled away and rolled my window up I looked over at Sloan and said:

Me: (In my most evil voice) BWAH HA HA HA, I have a $1.50 in my pocket and she will never know!!!!!

I agree with you, Laurie - I think the attendant's problem was the fact that she probably didn't pass fifth grade math. You really put that poor woman on the spot. How dare you! ;)
