Asshole Burrito

Usually it's pretty hard for random strangers to piss me off, because normally they're more complimentary than rude, but today I met an exception to that equation. I know that its customary for posts on this blog to be about idiot Media Wave customers, but I think its just as interesting to hear about my own idiot customers from up the road at the Mexican food restaurant I work at. Which shall remain nameless since I don't know how my boss would feel about me trash talking customers.
Let me preface this story with a statement to those who don't know me; I am short. So today, a tall, middle-aged man walks in and he seems to be very happy and talkative, and I take part in a conversation with him about the virtues of the tequila in Mexico. I was wearing my King Ranch hat today, he noticed it, and asked me if I was from Texas. When I said that yes, in fact, I was, his response to me was "Well, they sure didn't make you bigger, did they?" My first instinct was to tell him that thanks to this guy I once knew, I found out that not everythings bigger in Texas, and the sooner he learn that too- the better. But alas, my boss was standing behind me, so instead I told him that if I had only stayed there a few years longer, the doctors told me I'd have reached 7'3". He laughed and then said," You know, I had a secretary once that was about your height, and people around the office would tease her. You know, playfully. Then one day, I made a joke and she got her feelings hurt." I said, "What did you say?". He said, "Well, I just asked her what it was like to be the last one to know it was raining. How was I supposed to know she'd have her feelings hurt?" Gee, maybe because she's an adult woman that can't even go to work without a bunch of idiot men making fun her . . . Obviously, I couldn't say this - and even though I'm the same height as the woman who he offended, and probably would have been offended, myself, its been a slow week in tips so I said, "That's weird that she got mad. That joke is really funny."
From this post, I hope the masses learn from this man's mistake. Don't tell a fat person a fat joke. Don't tell a bald person a bald joke. And don't tell me a short joke unless I need money, and then I'll think it's the funniest thing I've ever heard.
