17. Come Back and Do Your Job!
So I’m on vacation with my family and the hotel we are staying at has a nice free breakfast. It has one of those waffle machines as well.
We walk down to eat breakfast and I make everyone a waffle because “Dads are the best.” (Really because I don’t want the kids to start pushing each other around hot metal.) After I hand the waffles, I finally make mine and start to sit down, when I hear “I’d like two waffles.”
Obviously I ignore it and sit down with my family. The lady follows me and says, “Didn’t you hear me? I said I wanted two waffles.”
Me: “Yeah, I heard you. The breakfast self-serve. You have to make them yourself.”
Crazy lady: “I just saw you hand out waffles to these people. Get off your butt and do your job.”
Me: “These people are my family. I don’t work here. I’m on vacation just like you.”
Crazy lady: “Listen here you lazy…
Crazy lady’s kid: “Look mommy, he’s wearing Batman pants.”
She looks down and sees my pants. It finally clicks and she starts making her breakfast. Her husband walks up afterwards and tells me he’s sorry, and offers to buy us lunch on him. He hands me a twenty and says sorry again.
