Fat Ass, Missed Oppurtunity


This morning I went to Starbucks for a cup of coffee (long story, I overslept and the bus was slow, so I didn't have a chance to make espresso at home). And there was a woman two or three people in front of me on her cell phone.

The guys behind the counter were going fast, so they were asking ahead in the line- "sir/ma'am, what can I get started for you?" etc.

They asked the woman on the phone and she couldn't hear them. Two guys in line (wearing earbuds ironically) said, "ma'am, they're talking to you". She said to one of them "I'm on the phone". One said, "I know, but they're trying to take your order." And she rolled her eyes at one of the guys!

I looked at the ground and saw a piece of paper by the woman - a post-it note. I thought it was hers so I went to pick it up.

It had two words written on it in thick sharpie: "FAT ASS" (on two separate lines).

I was so tempted to say, "ma'am, you dropped this" to gauge her reaction. The cashier in line had seen me pick up the paper and smile when I read it so he asked what it was.

I showed him and said that I was tempted to give it to her and say she had dropped it. . . .

He said if I had done that he would've not charged me for my coffee (apparently she's a regular at that store-- and a regular b).

So see kids, you can be rewarded for being an a-hole.
