my friends!

[roxy]

I got lost last night and missed Show. I didn't work on my BB, I didn't do anything. I slept a lot. It was pretty good sleep. and I had a good reason for it.

Folks, let me share with you my traumatic work day--which led to hugs and pats and cuddling for mental support which morphed into 'race you up the stairs'--oh, let me not lie, power-walk--I'm not racing anyone up any stairs, out of shape as I am....

So, my day at work? Just, omg, filled with people who had a tenuous grasp on hygiene, and where the appropriate places to urinate were--hint, not the fitting rooms. I had to boil my hands and apply outrageous amounts of sanitizer before I was able to overcome my attack of the vapours.

I was cleaning out a fitting room and cursing the lazy-ass lazy bitch who left hangers and stuff all over the floor instead of bringing them out when I grabbed one that was wet. And the liquid on the white hanger was yellow. And the only reason I didn't scream the house down was that my throat locked up.

My bare hands, my friends. My bare hands on this...thing. Stuff.

Beloveds, Yer Mother might have some slight issues with strangers. And touch. Probably not more so than the average person but maybe scooching over into OHMYGAWD territory, just a bit. So that was rather paralyzingly horrifying. I just went blank for a second--like, my fingers would not open to release this thing.

I'm just a simple, country fitting room attendant, I don't expect to have to deal with anything like this, lord have mercy. All I want to do is make sure no one's stealing stuff, that's all.

I should start wearing gloves all the time...or maybe change the fitting room spiel. "May I count your items, thank you, please return what you don't care for to the desk--oh and by the way, please don't pee in the room..."

OHMYGAWD is right. You poor thing. An old lady, then?

How long have you worked there again? And it's never happened before right? So, now that it's happened, it will most probably never happen again. *squishes*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well, it has happened several times, but I've never had actual contact with the...accident.

I'm fairly certain that it was a young person, but of course, we can't know what physical problems they might have...still, it will take me many more days before I can work up any sympathy for their possible problems, oy!

[fanspired]

OMG! What kind of people are these people?! You seriously shouldn't have to deal with this - I'm not even gonna say it O_O

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

People. I don't even *know* what crosses through their little pea brains!!!

[fanspired]

Pun intended? :P

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*FALLS DOWN LAUGHING*

I can not believe I didn't see that, LOL!!!

[fireheart13.livejournal.com]

How do people even remotely think that is okay???

Are yo uoff today at least?? They should give you hazard pay!!!

*SMISHES!!!

(So, is it okay if I hug you in September???)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

If I hadn't been paralyzed with horror I would have shrieked my brains out!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!! YES!! It is okay to hug me in September!

[raloria.livejournal.com]

Holy crap! How awful!!! What is wrong with people today???
Ugh! Yeah, I'd be washing my hand raw after that. *hugs*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL! I'm still washing them!!! People!! *smh*

[meus_venator]

That is digesting……. I mean euw!
Unless it was a baby there is no excuse. Yuck. People are pigs.
You could be seriously disillusioned by shit like this.

Hands you another clean wipe! : )
HUGS!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Disillusioned? Nah! I don't expect anything from people so I'm never disappointed--I'm disgusted, pissed-off, flummoxed, homicidal, amused....

:D

[me-ya-ri.livejournal.com]

D8 OMG, I'd have screeched the roof down, seriously. Yuuuuuck! *hugs the stuffing out of you* Definitely, go with the gloves, at least when you're cleaning things up back there. Good luck, Roxy!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't have these problems if they'd let me have a taser like I'm always asking for.... ;D

[sweptawaybayou.livejournal.com]

wth??? seriously. what the hell is wrong with people? gah.

i admire your restraint, as i would have lost it. so very completely.

*hugshugshugshugs*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Dude! People, man...they're all lucky fitting room attendants aren't armed, that's all I have to say. ;D

My husband (Robert) and I worked in the same restaurant when we were dating. One night, the bartender came down and told us that someone had crapped on the bathroom floor. My boss looked at me and I died 1000 deaths as she said. "Jen...." and then the best 4 words I have ever heard, "get Robert a mop and bucket"

So sorry you had to go through this bb.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAAAH-HAHAHA!!! No, no, I mean, Poor Robert!! *snorflesnorfle*

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

O.O I can't even comprehend how someone would think this is ok to do. I'm just flabbergasted and offended on your behalf. You definitely deserved that sleep last night.

*cuddles you* ♥

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, lovey--it was one hell of a day. I just don't get it, why would someone do that, I mean, yeah I can see having a medical problem but I would do all in my power to ensure I didn't have an accident in public.

*cuddles and snivels on you*

[tabaqui]

OMFG.
I would have basically gone home at that point. Just - no fucking way. I am *completely boggled* that people do that in fitting rooms. Just WTF.

It's utterly outrageous. And completely nauseating, holy fuck.
*pets you lots*
*sends cabana boys with a great, big whirlpool tub and bath salts and loofahs and nice, bubbly bubble bath to make you feel oh so much better*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid of me--I think I've become absolutely inured to disgusting behavior. I *expect* some kind of idiocy every day, but it's mostly elderly white women trying to treat me like Kizzie. *throws hands up* People, man.

*lays back in lovely tub and commands kabana boys to...well, let's just draw the curtain here.*

[tabaqui]

Heeeeee!

Omg. Kizzie. That sucks, bb.
*pets you lots*

It seems to be a problem.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL! I had no idea thrift shops had such a problem with this!

Most of our problems come from people who are high or drunk. I also think it's some passive-aggressive behavior, too. I mean--it's Target. Our fitting rooms and bath rooms are clearly labeled.

[smalltrolven.livejournal.com]

Yikes, that is super disgusting. What is wrong with people, gawd! Sorry that you had to experience that, and well, I hope you can get back to writing your BB because i wanna read it!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I sent off my draft this evening so--yay!! The Peers did not hold me down! :D

[smalltrolven.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! Hooray! So glad to hear that, good on you.

[tasabian.livejournal.com]

Yuck Yuck Yuck! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. I hope today is much better and you got to put your feet up and watch Show.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

VERY much better, lol! I was off today, so I watched Show and finished my draft for BB and noodled around in general! :)

And did *not* think about that thing....

[talitha78.livejournal.com]

Ack! What a nightmare.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Haaaaaaaa!! Your icon is *amazing*!! Totally unlike my fitting room experience.

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

OMG what a horrible thing! I'm glad you made it out of there alive!

I have a problem with people peeing (or whatever) on toilet seats. I can't imagine a handful of someone else's pee :(
