And another one...
My mum (the same mum from a few posts below!) is a drinking, swearing, Metallica-loving bundle of smiley blonde aceness, and nowadays she works in a bar.

I happened to be in there a few weeks ago, and as it hadn't long opened and was quiet Mum & I were chatting away, as you do.

Anyway, a couple walked in - not regulars, I later found out. My mum greeted them with a cheery "Good morning, how are you? What can I get you?"

They looked at each other, and blankly back at her. One of them then said "Stella". That's it, no please, no hello, nothing.

Off to the Stella pump goes my mum, and whilst pouring 2 pints looks back at the pair of them and says "You see, usually that would have been the bit where you said 'Hello, we're fine thanks, two pints of Stella please'. It wouldn't have delayed me serving you, and it would have been so much nicer..."

They still said nothing.

There, that's it. Not much of a story is it? But, as I've mentioned on here before, ignorance and inconsideration really piss me off. Why would anyone speak (or indeed not speak) to someone like that? Whether it's someone providing a service to you or just someone in the street who you'll never see again, why can't people just be nice?

It's unnecessary

but some people are just like that.

If there was an ignore button in real life, they'd be prime candidates for it.

but if you smile at the wrong person in my town, you're likely to get stabbed :(
