So I’ve gone back to my old job working on a weighbridge (whick is OK. It pays the bills) and I get to meet a LOT of customers, which is generally a good thing
They drive onto the ‘bridge in various vehicles, up to my window. Somtimes it’s noisy (engines running, windy) and they can’t hear me, or I them. Which is fine.
BUT when they can’t hear me loads of people can’t be bothered to speak, they just ‘cock their head’ at me (Like a reverse nod, it’s the best way I can describe it) or point their ear at me, or sometimes put their finger behind their ear, or pull a face….
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why can’t you say ‘pardon?’, ‘excuse me?’, ‘what?’, ‘come again?’, ‘sorry?’, ‘eh?’ or at least SOMETHING, ANYTHING, you imbicies.
It’s just so flipping RUDE. And it’s DRIVING ME UP THE WALL!!!!
I’ve started to ignore it unless they speak, but is that making ME just as bad? I think it might be. But it’s comical in a bad way: They just keep twitching their heads, like some sort of OCD
And some also expect me to shout over the noise of their 10 litre diesel engine as well, so I go home with a sore throat. Arse to the lot of em.
