first let me say, I love Yahoo! news because it covers such a wide variety of topics. aside from kate gosselin trying to make money and tim tebow’s sex appeal, I found something that totally stuck out to me – gross office manners.

luckily for me, I work in a retail environment so I don’t have to deal with the aroma of tuna salad sandwiches in my cubicle or my boss’ greasy cowlick. I get to deal with worse things, so I present to you my list of my NASTIEST customers:

1. the shout from the fitting room, “honey, can you get the diaper bag. baby just peed all over her clothes.” YOUR KID WHAT?! if she peed all over her clothes, chances she peed all over the carpet in there. and how dare you ask me for a smaller size in those pants! your precious angel just turned our fitting room into the floor of the 7 train. thanks, bitch.

2. another simple fitting room tip – don’t try on jeans when you have your period without proper protection. and if you’re one of those disgusting people that do (or if you do have an accident), be honest. or at least fold them the way they were so I don’t have to see that stain because your jeans are inside out in a heap on the floor.

3. food. eating when you walk into a store is just plain mean. chances are, we as employees can’t carry snacks and are starving, just waiting for our breaks. or we’re incredibly bored, which also makes us hungry. and we have to watch you eat your oozing egg & cheddar sandwich. and after we’re already pissed off that you have food and we don’t, we have to watch you suck the ketchup off your fingers or wipe the grease on your pants, and then proceed to touch our products. now think of is, how are we going to sell those jeans when they’re covered with your dirty fingerprints? or when you touch that ceramic mug and because your filthy hands are so greasy, it drops and shatters to the floor. in conclusion, save your sandwich for the streets … or better yet, a table.

4. trying on earrings. I still don’t understand why people think this is okay. you don’t know where other people’s ear lobes have been, whose mouthed they’ve touched, etc. and you still go ahead and slide those posts in your ears. imagine if the person who tried them on before you had a pussy ear infection. serves you right. so wipe that bitchy look off your face when I offer to touch those dirty earrings to clean them after your ear puss was on them.

well now that I’m about to throw up my raspberry tea, I’m ending my list here. but I’m not done, FYI.
