summer jobI had a summer job in a supermarket while I was at university.
I was packing people's shopping on the tills once when this woman turns up with absolutely tons of party food in two trolleys - all little sausages and vol-au-vents etc.
She was thoroughly miserable and I was in quite a jolly mood, so I said to her (by way of cheering the miserable bitch up)
"I think I can see a party coming!!" (imagine big grin across face as well).
She replied "Actually, its a funeral".
(now imagine the speed of disappearance of aforementioned big grin)
