Two whole wheats, please
This entry was going to be about the guy who was walking around Bed, Bath & Beyond in his pajamas last weekend, but that story just got trumped courtesy of the Asshat(©BeeLog) I ran into downstairs, buying breakfast.
This man, wearing a purple polo shirt walks up to the counter and orders "Two whole wheats with bacon, egg and cheese". Even I was confused. Now, the guys behind the counter speak breakfast English pretty well. I've never had a problem ordering - they may not always give me or my co-workers what we want, but I don't think that's a language issue - just your general lack of complacency.
Back to the Asshat.
"I said two whole wheats, with bacon, egg and cheese."
The guys behind the counter were understandably confused. Did he wants two sandwiches? One sandwich with 4 pieces of bread? They asked him to clarify, and Mr. Asshat is getting pissed off. He repeats his "whole wheats" order, and then, to my complete awe says "English! It's a great language - you should learn it!"
My head done near spun around, I tells ya.
Now, I aint always up on my book learnin', but I'm pretty sure that anyone who orders "two whole wheats" should not be lecturing anyone about their mis-use of the English language.
I was feeling the need to walk over and whistapoop this gentleman, but I decided violence in the workplace was probably not the best idea.

Two whole wheat ...bagels? Sandwiches? Definitely confusing. He's going to ruin the "English is a great language-- you should learn it!" snark for the rest of us. Asshat.
However. I do find your assention to a place where comfy clothes in public are to be mocked rather than revered to be even more concerning. And not just speaking as your maid of honor.

Hes giving the rest of us carnivores a bad name. Though to be fair, who of us is really comprehendable without our faux healthy baconeggcheese on WHOLE wheat sandwich in the morning. Ill assume he also had a Venti Mocha Double Whip Foam SOY Frappucino.
You've been living with me too long if you dont consider PJ's at BBandB acceptable. Damn flannel lovin hippies. Plus lookit those shoulders! Geezus, someone call the Avengers, HULK is in town!
