I am astonished at how frequently I get asked, "Do you live here?"
Do I look that much like white trash?
Does it seem that professional?
Is it because they don't see any kids toys or crap until they get to the kitchen? (And then there's not much.)
Actually, I think that people don't realize how big this place is... it doesn't seem that big from the front.
Do they ask you that, too?
=)
Kk.
Freaking me out time! I was just asked that not five minutes ago!
Background - awful guests (one half the party) from CA. Showed at 10pm. We just got word someone we know passed away in WA State, so when they rolled in and said "We have to bring our bags all the way around here!?" We were not in the mood.
Demanded an early breakfast.
While I am COOKING the breakfast the hubby walks in and says "My wife has a restricted diet." Oh? I ask what she can eat, not thrilled about it, let me tell you.
He goes back up and asks HER. He comes back and says Oatmeal. Just plain oatmeal, not flavored or anything.
I don't make oatmeal people. DH does often.
The other place settings have yoghurt muesli blueberry parfait.
They come in and she says "What is this? What am I supposed to do with this?"
My jaw dropped.
She looks at what everyone else has, and then says "Can I have some blueberries"
I go back in and get some out of the freezer and put them in a bowl. She then makes a "me me me" scene abotu her meal. I can't take it, I say to her "We were told you are on a restricted diet and you WANTED only oatmeal."
She replies abruptly "No, I am not on a special diet, I just don't want french toas!"
hm. I go back to my burning breakfast.
Come back with plates piled with french toast, fresh strawberries, icing sugar, two steaming hot sausage patties, canteloupe, honeydew...
I see her eyes.
She says "Oh that looks really good."
Let me say, I have another breakfast delivery to honeymooners and I am not going to bend over for this lady. Since they got here, not apologizing for being late, at all, and demanding this and that, she has been nothing but negative. Her poor husband and the hostages (other couple) traveling with her (who are delightful btw).
Making a big deal out of how wonderful the breakfast was, the best of their trip so far!
So when I go to clear plates, nice lady says "She really liked the sausage, I gave her one of mine." I say again, because I can't stand the attention getters "You could have just eaten what you wanted off the plate" and walk away.
So that was HER comment at check out - "Do you live around here?"
Me, "Yeah right through that door, that door, in there up there and over there."
PS Thanks for allowing me a moment of ventilation here. Phew I feel better.
