Complainers complain

Mon Jul 13, 2009, 7:19 AM
I was ready to offer excuses for my present urge to complain, but I don't think you'll buy it and, well, I'd rather not spew nonsense. I'm just a habitual complainer and I'm doing what is in my nature.
There is one thing I don't like and I'm not quite sure why: I don't like it when people who barely know me call me by my name. My first name. It's a toss-up (or maybe I'm just clueless) as to who can and cannot - or rather, when it annoys me and when it does not. (More than that, I think it's the presumptuous way some will regard me, as if we are buddies now.)
This one customer came in just now and he acted very friendly, so I shouldn't have had a problem with him. Yet... I had a problem with him. (haha) I don't hate him, don't get me wrong. I'd just love it if he didn't take what he learned today and used it from hereon in.
He brought in shirts to launder and I saw that some of those shirts were silk - we dry-clean silk. Dry-cleaning is more expensive. He then said that if we don't launder them, he'll just take his shirts somewhere else, because that is why he left the last dry cleaners. (Oh NOOO, PLEASE, DEAR GOD don't go somewhere else! I LOOOVE youuuu!)
Okay, I said, I'll speak with my mother about laundering it. He then said, "Oh, no, you have to take it." I said I understood, that I would make sure to speak with her about it.
Before all this, he had asked my name. I told him. (Why not, right? I'd be a douchebag to withhold my name.) He then proceeded to conclude almost every sentence with it. That... annoyed me. It just seemed a bit underhanded and I hate that kind of niceness that some customers dole out. The kind that seems wholly conditional and intertwined with a barely detectable arrogance toward a simple employee. "Here is my money. Do as I say."
I don't know if I'm just being inordinately picky and mean about this one guy. I wouldn't put it past me. I know I sound like I'm dissecting the living daylights out of this one trivial interaction. It's just that... I didn't really like the guy. Haha.



A P.S. to those who may misunderstand: I'm not saying not to call me by my name. This isn't some sneaky way of telling people off.
