Sensitivity at work

I was out with silly Jon, having dinner at Sakae Sushi (along Citilink). We were about to pay when I encountered this...

Attendant: Er, that would be $XX. Do you have a UOB or HSBC card? It gives you a 10% discount.
Renzi: (tryin my luck as well as attempting to be cheeky) heh...ermmm...*enticing tone* how about......Citibank?
A: (stifles laugh, almoust chuckles to herself) ermm....mam..it's (spells out) H-S-B-C...





How embarrassing is that?? OF COURSE I FUCKIN HEARD YOU WOMAN..... I was just merely tryin my luck. You don't have to stifle the laugh and mock me...like I'm dumb and I don't know what HSBC is....grrrrrr...HSBC and Citibank sound so damn different. *mumble grumble*

HISSSSSSS!!! Beware of the angry pussy! I have a right to my anger, and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be, that it's not nice to be, and that something's wrong with me because I get angry. (Maxine Waters, in Brian Lanker, I Dream a World, 1989)
