KIA: Then let me tell you why you're wrong.

Me: *deep sigh*

Like a circle in a spiral like a wheel within a wheel...

Student: I'd like to come in.

Me: I'm sorry. We're closed. We're going to be closed until June due to construction.

Student: I don't get it.

Me: We have some construction happening so we won't be open for a few weeks.

Student: But my teacher said I could come here.

Me: I'm sorry. They were mistaken. We're closed.

Student: So I can't go inside.

Me: No.

Student: Why not?

Me: ...Because we are closed until June.

Student: Why?

Me: ..Because we are under construction.

Student: But my teacher told me to come here.

Me: I get that. But we're closed.

Student:  So I can't go inside?

Me: *blinks* No.

Student: Why not?

Me: Because...we're...Closed.

Student: Why?

Me: We're... Under...Construction.

I'm the %1, I guess?

Crazy Lady: I'd like an admission.

Me: I'm sorry Ma'am. We're closed today. We're closed every Wednesday.

CL: *look of shock* NO! That so...STINKY!!!**

Me: I'm very sorry. But this area is open if you'd like to visit there and we'll be fully open tomorrow at 11am.

So she goes into the shop and I figured that's it. She comes back out again and THIS conversation happens. Imagine this conversation happening with a forced smile on my face.

CL: Do you have a brochure?

Me:We don't at this time, but you can find some information in here *hands her other info pamphlets* and this one gives you information on our cell phone tour which is for free. You can also go to our Website and find out even more if you have computer access.

CL:...You people are elitist!

Me:...I'm sorry?

CL: You don't offer ANY FREE brochures AND you're closed which makes you very inaccessible to me. I feel you only want the elite in here.

Me: I'm sorry you feel that way Ma'am. I assure you we are only closed on Wednesdays.

CL: Well you didn't post that ANYWHERE on your building.

Me: Well...We actually have it posted here *points to the big sign out front* and there *points to the big sign behind me*.

CL: Well.... Its all written too small! And you don't include ANY information for the public about anything!

ME: You can find information in the pamphlet I just handed to you.

CL: *Tears it open* Oh yeah?! Where? Where?! WHEEEERREEE! *shakes the pamphlet.

Me: *Gets out of her chair and points to front page* Right there.

CL:..Its not enough information! *keep in mind she is also saying this while standing in front of a wall that gives you a complete rundown of  our location* So VERY elitist here! I can't even go inside?!

Me: I'm sorry Ma'am. We're closed every Wednesday to everyone. But will be open tomorrow at 11am.

CL: I HAVE A LIFE!!! I can't possibly be here when its convenient for YOU!

Me:  I'm sorry then?

CL: SEE?! Your reaction is Elitist!!! You don't even want to accommodate me!

Me: I'm sorry Ma'am. But we're closed today. We're open every other day of the week though from 11am to 5pm.

CL:This place has SO gone down hill. And its become SO snobbish. I'll come back but I'm sure I won't be welcomed! *starts to storm out*

ME: Well we hope to see you soon! Have a good day and enjoy the sunshine!

CL: *Makes a barn yard animal noise*



**Yes, she DID use the word stinky.

Well...

The phone rang at work today.
I picked it up and answered like usual.
No reply.
In the background was what sounded like Cher music.
I look at the screen on my phone and noticed the number read:

666-0666

Satan Called Me.
He likes the musical stylings of Cher.
