is there no escape from the ridiculous people?

Prepare yourselves, this is a long one.

If you haven’t seen The IT Crowd, you should. It’s funny and on Netflix!

Okay, gather ’round children, I’m going to tell you a story. It needs a little bit of background, so bear with me a bit.

I work at a theatre in Beverly Hills. The majority of our patrons are fairly wealthy and (as seems to go hand and hand with such people) extremely entitled. I’ve learned to deal with such people over the years, because unfortunately you see the same kind of entitlement with people who go out to eat at restaurants. I’ve mastered the form of politeness that says “now back off, you’ll get no further with me”. It helps that I open my eyes really big and pitch my voice slightly higher and suddenly they feel like they’re arguing with a wounded animal or something.
