I don't post very often. Usually I put a bit up when something interesting or unusual happens to me, or when I see something funny and it inspires me to come up with a story. Lately I've been running low on juice. I've done a few military themed posts, a couple of college posts, a couple of job posts, and some fiction pieces. But I'm not a particularly imaginative fellow, and I just haven't felt inspired lately. So I decided to make my own inspiration. And what better way to do that than by fucking with total strangers and see how they react to it?
I went into the BeansTalk the other day to get my daily dose of Java Blend, and the clerk at the register was looking a bit frazzled by all the early morning traffic. Oh hell yes. Target acquired.
When I finally worked my way up to the head of the line, the girl said, "What can I get for you this morning?"
I stared at the menu on the wall blankly for a few seconds before I said, "Menke moo anna wonkot heenahausen."
Dead silence. A frown. "Excuse me?"
A bit slower, I repeated, "A menke moo anna wonkot heenahausen. To go, please."
"Sir, I don't understand what you're saying. Did you say you wanted a venti mocha? This isn't Starbucks, we have small, medium, and large."
I started to make my eyes tear up. "NO!! I wanta wok meebernoun. Oh my God, do you milk feeny as a gronfun?"
"What? You want milk in it? Sir, you're talking gibberish. Please speak slowly." The girl looked positively flummoxed.
Slowly, I spoke, as if to a retarded child, "I. Want. A. Men. Kee. Moo. Anna. Wan. Cot. Heena. Hausen. To. Go."
Apparently, there was a physician in line behind me. "He sounds like he has a form of Tourette's Syndrome. That's pretty bizarre."
The woman behing him had an alternate theory. "I think he's fucking retarded," she opined.
I started to fake cry. "Stop making fun of me! I just asked for a small pala sin ben fotenhauer with milk! What's so hard to understand about that?"
The clerk had no option at that point but to call the manager over to assist with me, the belligerent customer. "What seems to be the issue here?" he queried with the appropriate combination of authority and courtesy.
My lower lip quivering, I cried, "I just want my small coffee with milk! What's wrong with you people?"
A round of "Ahhhh, so THAT'S what he wanted," went through the crowd behind me. The clerk started to get a little angry with me while the manager hurriedly filled up a to-go cup with my go juice.
"Why were you talking like that a minute ago? Were you making fun of me?"
The manager quickly put the lid on the cup and slid it over the counter to me, muttering, "Jesus, Natalie, just let it go. There's something wrong with that guy."
I screamed at the top of my lungs to the whole store, "HOLY ASSFUCKING CHRIST, I JUST WANT MY FUCKING COFFEE!!!!!"
I stomped toward the door before anyone realized that I hadn't paid for the coffee, yelling to myself the whole time.
"Meeya! I just wanted the Crankenflak for arlis in my Pickner! Jesus!"
And of course, while trying to exit, I walked face first into a door that clearly read "PULL" and my coffee exploded all over my dumb ass. I screamed at the scalding my body was taking, yanked open the door, and fled down the street.
But I think I found a cure for my writer's block.

This was awesome. :)
I also find the fact that there are only two non +2 ratings, one of them being Jimbo's own comment. Therefore, this is a good post.
Jimbo, I like your posts.

I always go into McDonald's and speak French loudly and obnoxiously. Then I ask (in French) for a filet mignon. When they stare at me blankly or say "sorry we dont have that" or whatever their negative reactions may be, I go... as if speaking to a retarded child.... "fee. lay. min. yon."

I'd love to try something like this...but I'd be afraid I'd lose it half-way through.
Real or fake, it's funny as hell. :-)

I've worked in places where these kind of situations can come up. I usually responded by closing my register and the standard "<Insert Manager Name>, I'm going on a break." Worked every time, but I don't know how the hell I would have handled this one...

i had to hold my mouth, for fear that a burst of laughing would cause the whole computer lab to turn and look at me.
by the way, for writers block, there seems to be a lot of writing here. hehe

Jimbo, we really must hang out. With your 20 bucks, we can go get a few beers.
