I really suck at this entire “Being a nice person” thing…

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Some of my friends and I went to BiggBy’s yesterday night, and I tagged along. One of my other friends is a barista there. Fast forward to today, when I took my colleague, compatriot and minion Davin to BiggBy. Since they had just opened they have these awesome buy one get one free coupons, which I didn’t happen to have on me. I asked the nice barista if I could have one. She did a (highly exaggerated) eye roll, sighed, and said “I guess so” and smiled at me. I laughed and said “Well, you’re much nicer than the barista last night.” She handed my my receipt which I promptly began signing and she said “Oh yea?” Me, lost in my own little receipt signing world didn’t even look up and (thinking that my friend was the barista yesterday) responded “No.”

All of a sudden it hit me what I had just said. I looked up, horror stricken and started apologizing profusely. “Oh my gosh, I did not mean to say that, I don’t know why I said that, I am so sorry, that was incredibly cruel, I cannot believe I said that!” Meanwhile, Davin is standing there just cracking up.

This is why I am single.
