Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry

The best part about living in the middle of nowhere has got to be the ignorance that is daily demonstrated by the people who live here.

Take today for instance. I was helping a relatively nice South-Asian couple start a new line of service. They were talking to each other and on the phone in a non-English (gasp) language, which was easier for them to communicate in. Some guy comes in at around 8:30pm and waits for a while why I am on the phone with Sprint helping out the customers. He has an angry/mean look about him but I ask the rep to hold and go to help him. He looks at me, then the couple, then at me again and finally tells me he needs a car power adapter for his hand held police scanner, I go to show him them, and he starts mumbling and eventually says, "those people sound like they have shit in their mouths." Seriously, this is the type of person who makes America great, ignorant people who cannot respect others who have done them no wrong. Long story short the guy left after little help from me and I went on to continue helping the couple who ended up tipping me 7 dollars on top of my commission; so take that ignorance.

2. Also, on a lighter note a young gentleman of about eighteen was enlightening me as to how the "ink pack" in his tracfone exploded when he opened it.

Long story short, I am starting to become more certain that the biblical end times are near and northern Ill. is one of places where the pure will flock (much like Palin's Alaska). So come one and all, but only if you are WASPS.

The "shit in their mouths" guy reminds me of when we always had election coverage on the tv at work and a particularly racist customer who I want to strangle said "Great, we have to watch Obama bin Laden at the bank now, too?" My blood boiled and I made fists to keep myself from going off. My boss heard and gave me pleading looks; she knew what I was thinking. I will forever hate this guy. And he wears too much cologne and smells like ass.
