Slackers

I lost my Zipcard last week and I went by the Zipcar offices to replace it. I hate the place because it's filled with 20-somethings bullshitting in low-hanging cubicles. Today's no different, as the receptionist was on the line, and all the other brats ignored me.

One finally got up to use the water cooler next to what passed for the reception area where I sat patiently, and asked, "Can I help you?" as in "What are you doing here?"

I said I needed a new card, and she started to act helpful but frazzled, as in, "OK, I can do this."

The receptionist quickly hung up and rolled her eyes, with a "Jesus, God, let me handle this, she'll take two days" attitude. She replaced my card in about 30 seconds, while slacker in the next cubicle makes the following statments into his phone.

"Yeah, well, you know, Dumbledore is gay."

"I know, she is so AWESOME."

"Dude, it's HALLOWEE-HEE-HEEEN!"

Be cool, and goof off quietly and invisibly on the net like a good American. You're embarrassing yourselves.

Rang my office phone from the car twelve-and-a-half times before only to
hang up in disgust. Upon arriving there were five hens yapping in the re-
ception area. Don't stop ladies, I'll check the message box ... thanks.
