They are out in flocks. And not in cages. I entered the parking lot of my work and encountered a large flock huddling around the handicapped parking area. I approached rather slowly. I went to go aroudn them (10 yard gap), plenty of room right? For being like 80, they move quick. The flock scattered in random directions. I wasn't traveling fast but decided to continue my path. One got fairly close as I finally passed. By close I mean within 5 feet. Whatever right...
15 minutes into my shift, manager calls me aside all concerned. Didnt even think anything of it. Says a lady is here to see me and he told her I'm not available. She threatened him with calling the police. Thats when I asked what she looked like...low and behold...it was one of them. He then told me he won't make me go out there and he'll tell her again I'm not available. I said no, I'll just go out and see what her problem is. I assumed I spooked her maybe and I'll apologize and be over with it, even though I knew it was all fine.
Lady had an eye patch. I rolled my eyes as I approached her. With poor depth perception I'm sure I really spooked her. For once in my life, I rather courtious and polite. Saying I apologize for my behavior and whatever else would make her go away. She ripped into me with that old woman voice. I'm a baby compared to here at 24 years of age. Telling me about **** kids and their motorcycles and no respect. I stood there. I took it. She then demanded a note of apology. Ok, if that'll make her go away. I bring out a brief note in my worst hand writing.
Still not enough. She tells me she is going to call the cops anyways. I wanted to tell her tto just do it and good luck. I have multiple friends in the local departments, I'm a criminal justice major and in the application process to be a LEO myself. There was nothing that could legally be done and I knew this. So I let her go on with her rant. Yes ma'am. No ma'am. Won't happen again ma'am.
THEN she goes into how her friend is shaking in the car (also an elderly woman), again I apologize and ask whats her name and I include it in the note. Is this enough, hag? Again, she tries guilt. Telling me I hit her friends purse. Uh huh right...the entire time much of my co-workers are behind the bar laughing. Laughing as I stood there with good posture and being polite as possible. Finally she left. I shook my head and dealt with the onslought of co-workers wanting to know what the dilly that was all about.
I half wished she called the police, and wathc it turn out to be one of my friends. But back to work I went. Leaving work I expected some form of old lady vandalism on my bike. Whatever that might be.
They are out. Keep watch...I'm glad my life is getting exciting again, whether its negative or positive.
