Not a good day.

- RANT ALERT -

Today has not been a good day.

I took off for a walk, frustrated and feeling quite irritated with my MasterChief. Walked to a nearby entertainment centre to try and get one of my favourite foods, figuring comfort food (satay! yum!) and the walk there and back would ease my mood.

Not to be, alas.

I left my food, a full bottle of mineral water, a full packet of tissus, and my opened book to indicate that someone was coming back to the table. Obviously I was going to take my bag, wallet and mobile phone with me.

Walked around the corner, all of 20 steps, to purchase my tea. And I came back not a minute later to find a cleaner throwing away all my things. All that was left on the table was my book.

Mind. A FULL bottle of mineral water, a FULL packet of tissues obviously unopened and a goddamned fucking BOOK. Oh yes, and did I tell you, a FULL plate of food?

What? Can't you see? Do you think people will leave their WATER? And their TISSUE? ALL FULL? And a bloody BOOK? If they are not coming back? Why did you clear away my dinner? My FOOD? What happened to my things? Are you going to buy me back my dinner? Did you intend to throw away my book as well??

And to make it worse, the cleaner takes out my bottle and my tissue packet and places it back on the fucking table. Out of the dirty bucket which holds the remains of other diners' leftovers. Doesn't bother to wipe it down. Mumbles something. Doesn't look repentant at ALL.

What? Are you stupid? You expect me to drink from that bottle? You expect me to use the tissue? How clean do you think they will be?

And guess what? The guy says, very clearly: you go buy another bottle.

Fuck you. Fuck your mother. And fuck the goddamned fucking genes in your family that produced such inherent stupidity and gall.

You know what's the worse part? It wasn't even an expensive dinner. My roti john cost me all of $3. Mineral water? $1.55. Don't even talk about stupid tissue paper. I was just so mad that the man was so stupid and unrepentant. Stupid lousy dinner less than 5 bucks. I cannot believe I am going to kick up a fuss for a miserable 5 bucks. But if you're unrepentant. And if you show me cheek. Sorry, motherfucker, you're going down.

No, that's not the worst part. There's more. I got the name of the cleaner and the company from another cleaner who did apologise. Not his fault. Nice of him. Apparent, this fucking idiot has buggered other diners as well.

WORST part? A group of 4 people, all men, were sitting right next to my table and didn't stop the cleaner. Instead, they stared openly and grinned as I walked back and forth, and as I was confronting the idiot cleaner. As I passed them by, I stopped, and raised my voice, said Good! Fine! Did you enjoy the show? Wow. I could have slapped each and every one of them.

Bah! I can't believe I'm still mad. At the same time, I cannot believe the temerity of that cleaner! Gross stupidity like tonight's really offends me. It really gets me going. ARGH!


My god, but Bernie is right. I'm hermitizing myself. And I'm happy to do so!!
