When I worked at a pizza place just after high school, this one customer was a Monday night regular. We weigh all ingredients and I’m sure he knew this but apparently didn’t like the skimpy portion of jalapenos this one time.

I was working the register that night so I got the abuse about the lacking of jalapenos. He must have REALLY loved his jalapenos because he yelled at me, called me names, etc… until finally the manager gave him an extra portion on the side to get him outta there.

For many years he was referred to as “Jalapeno Man” and was definitely the worst customer I have ever dealt with and I followed up the pizza place with 7 years of tech support and IT help desk.

RE #4

We don’t have many chain restaurants (except for fast food) where I live so I find myself craving pretty much everything and, I when go visit my mom, it’s always about the food, haaha, and we hardly ever eat at her house while I’m there.

Mostly… I miss Olive Garden!!!! I also wish there was a TGI Friday’s even though there isn’t one near my mom’s either but the food looks good in the commercials, haah. I also wish there was an Arby’s and a Noah’s.

Luckily his friends convinced him to not go inside, and after he flipped off the second floor again, they left. I went in and told them what happened because if he had come back and something had happened, I don’t think I could live with that on my conscience.

The most scary part of the whole situation was his friends’ logic to stop him from going in. They said that an alarm would sound because of a knife. Well, I worked there for six years, and I know there is no such alarm. It was the scariest thing that ever happened to me at the library.

2. The short in the Monster’s Inc. bonus features. I laughed until I fell off my chair.

5. My arm

4) CHIPOTLE… Yet to make the jump across any ocean, McDonald’s upscale version of Taco Bell eludes me. I live in Korea, so actually any Mexican food is a rare treat. Koreans have a horrible habit of bastardizing all ethnic (non-Korean) food….

I crave my burrito!

2) I like the Pikey subtitles on the “Snatch” DVD. Couldn’t understand Brad Pitt without them. Also, the director’s commentary for “Fight Club” has some funny moments.

3) Some chick flipped out on me on July 4th once. We were stuck in a traffic jam leaving the fireworks site, and I wouldn’t let her get back in front of me after she drove on the shoulder for a few yards. Admitedly, I was being stubborn, but I didn’t think that warranted her screaming at the top of her lungs, calling me a racist, and hitting the car behind me in an attempt to get in line after me. I cried. Alot.

4) Benihana’s. I always get super jealous when I see reruns of “The Office” in which they go there. There are 2 of them right around DC, but none up in northern MD. Grr.

5) Besides a car, I guess my computer. No fun story there, it just died on me one day.
I once sent someone else’s skateboard down into the sewer (by accident), and he claimed that it was expensive, but I’m skeptical.

Now that we’ve moved to Australia, there is nowhere to buy cajun style calimari. Oh man. I’m drooling now.

2) My anniversary edition Eraserhead DVD contained some really weird extras that I uncovered by just hitting my next button. That made my day.

3) I was next to a man who started to scream extremely loudly for no reason whatsoever at the Smithsonian in DC. I’ve never been so close to wetting my pants.

4) I would love to have a Rainforest Cafe here. I’ve always had great food there. Chic-fil-a would be great here also.

5) I once broke a rather expensive faucet in our house.

The other place I would love to have near me is a Wolfgang Puck Express. I went to a conference last year and ate there every day for lunch. It was expensive, but far, far better than I expected. A nice big bowl of butternut squash soup and some freshly baked bread….not bad at all!
