Work: I'm Nearing My Breaking Point

-

*sigh*

I feel like I b*tch about my job too often (or, at least, often enough that I annoy the sh*t out of you), but I am THIS close to my breaking point right now.

In a perfect world, I'd like to not work with people. Because some people are so stupid, your brain hurts and you have to go to the doctor to have more brain cells implanted in your head.

We don't live in a perfect world.

First of all, people these days do not know how to say hi when someone else says hi to them with a smile. Nor do they know how to say thank you. Those are very tiny things, but they still irritate the cr*p out of me.

JUST SO YOU KNOW- THE REMAINDER OF THIS RANT, IF I SAY 'I WAS LIKE', I WAS THINKING THE FOLLOWING IN MY HEAD. I WOULD NEVER SAY THAT OUT LOUD. I JUST WANTED YOU GUYS TO KNOW SO YOU DON'T THINK I'M THIS HORRIBLE PERSON!

Second of all, the most annoying question I get is:

"Where do I buy tickets?"

And they ask it in, like, a hundred different ways (obvious exaggeration, but not the point).

"Is this where we buy tickets?"

"Do we buy tickets from you?"

"There's nobody in the box office. Do we have to buy tickets online?"

Now, let's go back to the third version: "Do we buy tickets from you?"

It's so tempting to say: "Does it look like you buy tickets from me? Do you see a computer, a card reader or a drawer of cash? No. You do not. So how could I possibly sell you tickets??

And no. You do not have to buy tickets online.

You buy tickets at the front counter.

"At the counter? Where you buy the popcorn and stuff?"

Yes. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.

Well, apparently, it is to some people.

I always point to the front counter while I say that that is where you buy tickets. And some people still ask: "Where?"

The following part is what inspired this rant. Listen closely because this is the most annoying part.

A lady came in with her group of people to see the movie with. This time, when telling them where you buy tickets, I said that you buy tickets at the front (as opposed to the other times when I say the front COUNTER) while pointing. Like I said, I always point.

This lady says: At the front...

As though she was trying to make sense of where 'the front' is.

I'm like, "Uhmmm, are you stupid?? LOOK AT MY ARM. LOOK AT WHERE MY FINGER IS POINTING. FOLLOW THE FINGER. HOW DIFFICULT OF A TASK IS THAT TO DO??"

I honestly don't know how much longer I can take at this job.

My ideal job would be anything where I can work from home. Maybe write, blog, create graphic designs for companies (which is what Aubrey does in Rise To Stardom. Subtle plug lol!) and have free health benefits. If I had the right training and equipment, I could. I would no longer have to worry about being a burden on my parents having to drive me to work, I wouldn't have to worry about asking for time off because, as long as I have my laptop, I can work anywhere.

But seriously!

The front.

You buy tickets at the front?

*sees me pointing* Where?

These people need to look into getting a brain, for crying out loud!

FOLLOW MY FINGER! OR DO YOU NOT HAVE THE BRAIN CAPACITY TO DO THAT??
