Right now my big guest pet peeve are the liars.
I tell everyone to not go into the family/disabled rooms, and most people say "Okay" and pick a regular size one. Some people though, they try to sneak in anyway. Most lie by trying to say "Oh I thought you said to take it." Really? Then how come the last 5 people to hear the same words understood? I've had two people lie about being mentally ill to justify needing the larger room. Yeah, sure you're claustrophobic. That's why you're happily smiling instead of showing fear of being trapped in a small space. And there was the woman today with the faked accent trying to act like she couldn't comprehend my words. Uh huh, with that accent your first language is not Spanish. And don't bother to tap your ear near the end of the conversation, you reacted to my voice from behind just a few minutes ago.
There's other liars too. All those people who argue when they call and want cash back for a no receipt return supposedly paid for in cash. The guy that kept asking me over and over what time we closed on Memorial Day. Did I mumble or something, because I don't think that it should take 5 times before you accept the answer. Last night, some woman wanted to play a game. Initially I thought she was just really tired because she seemed out of it. She asked for a particular item. My hands were full and I was slammed so I gave her really specific details for where to find them. She tracked me back down, still acting out of it, she couldn't find it. So I walked with her, paused where they were, told her it was right on the other side of the fixture we were at, and moved 5 feet down to put away something. She still couldn't find it. So I walked to the other side and touched the item and she walked right past me. Her companion had to almost grab her to get her to the right place. Honey, the drunk/drugged impression might make you a hit at your friends' parties, but it's not cute to the public at large. Drop the act.
Why can't people just be straight-forward?
