He just keeps coming back.
Same horrible stench. Dialogue just like before.
I know i shouldn't judge this man or anyone else for that matter, but he's either anti-world or he's got a disease-that has rendered him obnoxious and absolutely incapable of remembering to wash himself.
I'm not being mean. I treat him like every customer, and when he totally freaked because he didn't get his twister toasted, i didn't swear under my breath.
I understand he's got issues, he loves complaining, torturing....
He hates the world. I get it.
But what makes people this way?
I've been reading The Great World. It provides a peep hole for understanding individuals. There are experiences that shape people, that we don't know of, that we fail to see or guess at- if it isn't apparent visually.
There's a parallelism in strangers and in words.
With words we're indifferent to semantics (at least most of us are!) , we definitely don't know the definition of every word and there are words we haven't ever encountered- some archaic, some simple enough... We're perfectly fine communicating with strangers. We try to be politically correct, so we don't offend...we're polite.
But just like words. We don't know everything
The are more than a billion people. Different stories. Different experiences.
And what captivates me is that we'll never really know.
Even the people that are close to us. We'll never know everything really.
The enigma in everything, it scares me.
Sometimes i sit in the car and wonder about the world. Thats when i'm struck incapable of answering anything. At times i'm definitive....then my mind rewinds...i begin to think of the primitive world, the purpose of life.
And my mind can be blank or forever thinking in a time frame...which in length...i cannot comprehend.
Then i shift my thoughts to humanity. And how people are always in a different world, living in their heads. But inside its chaotic, too many tangles...its a jungle of thought...but all the knots aren't from complicated thinking...from a higher understanding of things, its a jungle naturally...a microcosm, one that parallels the greater world. A perfect reflection.
Examples
Me: Would you like a bag and serviettes?
Customer: I've already been served thanks.
Me: Yes i know, but would you like a bag and serviettes?
......
Here's another:
Me: Would you like a bag and serviettes?
Customer: Looks away. Shakes head.
20 seconds later
Customer: I didn't get any serviettes.
Or perhaps when you repeat an order, and they totally freak out because you got it wrong. Or when you repeat the order twice, and when they see their meal, they realise its wrong..then they totally freak out and scream.
