The gasoline pump didn't have one of those credit_card swiper thingies on it, so I had to_go inside to pay. I went in and handed my card to_a guy who acted like I'd interrupted him or something. He swiped the card, then threw it on_the counter at me. He had a drink cup in one hand while he waited for the receipt to print out. As he turned around, he lost his grip on_the cup and proceeded to do a little dance, trying to keep the cup from hitting the floor. Thoroughly embarrassed, he placed the receipt in front of me so I could sign it. Then he said, "This just hasn't been a good day for me. My girlfriend just broke up with me after nine months." I_said, "Yeah, that's not a good day." I signed the receipt, then he said thanks. Before the cup dance, he was aloof. After the cup dance, he opened up to me. Life needs more cup dances. |
