I went to the hair salon with my best friend today. We both chose the wash + cut + chemical treatment package. She went for hair-rebonding while I chose hair-relaxing. We both ended up with the same haircut!
Only after we were out of the hair salon did we realize that my best friend had parked in a private parking spot. It was an honest, honest mistake; neither of us realized it when we entered the parking spot. We profusely apologized to the owner but she still got really cross (well, yeah, she could not park her car because we had parked ours there). After apologizing and explaining and apologizing and explaining for almost an hour and a half, she kept on screaming; she seemed adamant that she was not going to let us go until we pay a huge amount of money as a penalty. Finally my friend shed a tear or two and begged her to let us go, and the lady finally did.
I am all about respecting older people. I have never purposely disrespected an older person in my life. I am an introvert, you see, so I am usually standing behind someone, hiding from the issue at hand when an argument occurs. I do not like disrespectful people. But when the lady felt that it was okay to keep screaming at us, saying we have a bad attitude for not apologizing to her, I felt so angry because from the moment we realized that it was her parking spot, we had apologized non-stop. NON-STOP. I could not help myself shouting "do not fucking lie to me". I am sorry, but I have limits. I may be "miss goodie-goodie" most of the time, but when a person so blatantly lies, or at least twists the truth right in front of my eyes, I cannot just sit back and be cool with it.
I felt so disrespected when my best friend had to cry and beg for the lady to let us leave, and the lady simply said "Well, if you had this kind of attitude earlier, I would have let you go. But no, from the start, you were rude to me." To which I can only say, rude my ass.
When I stopped by the local grocery store to buy instant noodles, the man at the till was so nice, as usual, that I could not help thinking "Why can't everyone be like this?" and when I said thank you and left the store, I kept thinking about it, wondering how a person could think of me as rude. Me. ME!
I say please, and thank you, and smile, and talk with a polite tone, and someone thinks I am rude. Unbelievable.
It is just hurtful, you know?
I know that it was my fault for not realizing we had parked in a private parking spot. But I am sorry, I cannot accept impoliteness.
Then again, I guess she cannot accept our mistake.
Anyways. I could not sleep without letting all of these out.
Good night lovelies,
