So, this is just a random story so bear with me. Anyway, me, my g/f, her best friend and her best friend's boyfriend all went to a mall in the city yesterday to see a movie. I just got a brand new T-mobile Sidekick LX 2009, and i didnt have a screen protector or a case or anything for it.
We got to the mall and theres a t-mobile store in there and i see they just got the new sidekick cases and screen protectors, so i bought a rubbery case for my phone, and clear screen protector for my phone. I asked the lady there if they put them on for the customer, because their kind of tricky to put on and one time i went with my cousin to an apple store and they put one on his iphone for him, perfect fit, no bubbles.
So i assumed a lot of these places showed their workers how to put them on. Anyways after i asked, she said "ummmi guess i can" so i alrady knew something was up but i was polite at first. Then she proceeds to start wiping my screen with her dirty shirt, before pulling out the screen protector that i just paid for, and very sloppy-like just slapping it on the phone, and there's like 10 big air bubbles in it.
Even then, im stilll polite, because the pack i bought came with 2 in it, so i just figured id change it when i got home, even though i was hot with anger on the inside, i was just ready to get out of the store. Then, this is where i got pissed off. She starts SCRAPING the corners of my phone with her finger nails trying to peel the thing off to reapply it because of the air bubble. I mean she was really scratching at it. After a very awkward about 30 seconds, i finally just grab another pack off the shelf and tell her to just give me these new ones and not to worry about it. And she's like "So you dont want the one i just put on there" in a really snobby tone, and i was like "No, i wouldnt have had you do it if i knew you didnt know how. "
So then she just rips the protetor off, slides my phone across the damn counter to me, and rings up the new one and mutters,"I cant stand the morons that come in here" to a co-worker, and she thought i couldnt here her i guess. And my jaw was on the floor. So i yell "just get out of here and go get your manager" So she goes in the back for like 10 minutes and finally the manager comes out and he was a really nice guy and i explained exactly what happened, and he said theyd had problems with her before, and gave me my case, and the new package of screen protectors free of charge.
Anyway, my friends were acting like i was a dick to her, but i was nice as long as i could be, i mean people should treat others stuff like its their own, especially in a workplace, much less muttering insults. So i wasnt a jerk was i?? I felt i was totally calm but there's a point where its just too much. Sorry about such a long story, just wanted to vent

off man, it's not affecting you in any way. I know I went on a little much but that's one of my pet peeves and once again I agree with you completely.
