today i was talking to my therapist about being upset that my dad wanted a daughter and she told me ‘your father is crying by a grave of his own making that has no corpse in it. you do not need to fill it for him and are not required to weep beside him’ and I had to take a sip of water bc my mind stopped working for a moment
I actually genuinely love dealing with angry and aggressive customers because it’s SO funny. They always come in with a specific level of energy and they expect whoever they deal with to be scared of them and then when I’m clearly not physically or emotionally intimidated they get SO flustered and start doing the weirdest shit to regain power in the situation. Like there’s absolutely nothing you could do to me in this coffee shop that would ever even make my Top 10 Scariest Interactions With People but by all means, keep faking that phone call to your boss who apparently knows the Starbucks mermaid personally.
I also love doing it because I know all my coworkers can get really upset when people treat them like that, which is totally understandable. So instead because they know I don’t mind they’ll just call me in and then gather round to watch like it’s a boxing match
Miles Morales was instantly relatable in the first 30 seconds of his appearance in Into the Spider-verse when he only sung along to like 28% of the lyrics to Sunflower and just mumbled random syllables to the rest.
