Dear Lady at L’Hôtel…

by Steph on October 6, 2008

I’m not sure whether or not a pack of wolves raised you, so I’ll try to avoid being judgmental and instead, explain a few things to you. I hope you find this helpful.

1. When you see another adult on the phone, refusing to make eye contact with you, that is not a sign that you should squat down to make eye contact for the sole purpose of interrupting her phone call.
2. If you forgot your room key, you should ask people who already know you to let you in to l’hôtel. You should NOT interrupt a complete stranger’s phone conversation to ask this. Especially if said stranger is doing her damnedest to avoid even looking at you.
3. If you’ve chosen to ignore the first two things, you definitely should not continue to talk to said stranger while she is clearly trying to continue her own phone call whilst helping you out.

Seriously, I realize that everyone needs a hand sometimes, and normally, I’m all over being a Good Samaritan. However, I was in the middle of a fucking phone call. I’d ducked my head to avoid being asked for help even. Rude on my part? Maybe. However, it was certainly more rude to interrupt a phone conversation. Even my children understand that you should wait until a phone call is over to bother someone.

So way to understand that your needs were more important than someone else’s and that your dumbassery gave you every right to interrupt another adult’s private phone conversation. Your parents should be very, very proud.

Unless, of course, you actually were raised by a pack of wolves. In that case, thanks for not eating my face off.

Sincerely,
The Bitch in the quirkyblogger.com Hat

Ooo, this gets me RILED. I don’t know where these self-centered people are raised, either. They’re like those seagulls in “Finding Nemo”:
“MINE! MINE! MINE!”

I believe we are obliged to teach our children certain types of etiquette: shopping cart, elevator, and certainly cell phone. What is she? Some sort of barbarian? ;)

LMAO @ “In that case, thanks for not eating my face off.” I would have either helped, as I have a hard time saying no…or (if I was on the phone with my hubby) I would have told her to back the fuck off…as I am sure I would have already been highly annoyed.

MoFM – DOOOOOD!! I was TOTALLY going to jack you on Fuck You Friday, but then I was like, “No. I want to say it on Monday. I can’t wait four days.” Heh.

Jaci – Oh, God. I’ve done multiple vlogs in that mofo. But once I get my tripod, I’ll take a picture. :)

Missy – Raised by wolves, I tell ya.

Lindsey – Right? WTF? Are we the only ones whose moms said, “DON’T INTERRUPT ME WHEN I’M ON THE PHONE”??

Myra – I think that part of what made it so bizarre was that I was CLEARLY trying to avoid getting sucked in. I mean, she literally had to KNEEL DOWN to make eye contact. WHO DOES THAT?!?

Harmony – I’m horrible about saying no. HORRIBLE about it. Normally, it doesn’t bother me because I’m saying “yes” to people I really like, but every so often, I’m like, “WHY CAN’T I JUST TELL PEOPLE NO!?!?” Hee.
