Somebody Scream.....
Tuesday night at work was really interesting.... We had an Elementary class come in and show off their projects that they created on Apple computers and software. It was basically 3 hours of us, the employees, trying to stop 20 kids from breaking and sneezing all over thousands of dollars worth of devices. As if it couldn't get worse... sure enough i get stuck with a customer that was all sorts of fucked up... Once in a while we will get a crazy, old, lonely customer that will come in and ask questions or talk for hours and never leave because they have no one else to talk to. Yeah, i get stuck with one of those customers while the 20-some odd kids are running around blowing shit up and snapping dvds in half because it looks cool..... and by the way it does, and it looks even cooler when you put one in the microwave.... So, anyway, this guy as i said was all sorts of fucked up. He was a heavy set balding gentleman with his eyes darting in all different directions. The man asked me about the printers we sell... a simple question that only deserved a simple answer and no great amount of time taken.... or so i thought.... a question about ink jet printers turned into an Apple history class. The man got all excited and started stuttering, frothing from the mouth and then some kind of white shit was coming out of his eyes. By this point i wanted to get the fuck away from this guy so i started walking him to the door. He kept saying that his next computer will most certainly be a Mac, but not once did he ask about any of the computers. After about, id say a good 15 or 20 minutes, the man finally left. As soon as he left, one of my managers, andy, came up to me and said "you just had the honor of talking to who we call 'milky eyes'..." i stopped him right there and said "wait, this wasn't the first time that he came in here?!?!" "No, the guy comes in all the time and says that hes going to get a computer but never does. That, and theres always this white shit that comes from his eyes and mouth. Hence the name 'Milky Eyes'."
Finally the crowed of kids left around 8. The store went from packed wall to wall, to completely dead within 5 minutes. There were about 4 or 5 of us standing around just talking about nothing when this woman just stands in the middle of the entrance, looking into the store, screaming solid notes. None of us really reacted in any way, we just kinda looked at each other and said what the fuck was that. So of course im the only one that chased her down to ask what the fuck her problem was. I couldn't find her so i just kinda gave up and headed back.
The store was still dead and there was a half hour till we close. I sat down on one of our $1000 italian ball chairs and andy comes up to me and says "you know.... I came up with a theme song for 'Milky Eyes' a while back." "lol, oh yeah? how does it go?" i ask. He then started singing in an opera like voice "MIIIIILLKY EYYYEES... thats all i got so far." I started laughing. This black couple then walked in with an old Imac wrapped up in a purple pillow sack. Their eyes were all fucked up and they wreaked of weed. They set the computer at the Genius Bar and start looking at the ipods. The woman walks to the games in the back of the store while the man stays by the ipods. The woman starts screaming solid notes about the Sims while the guy looks at her and mumbles "I keep tellin' her dont do drugs, just say no, Scruff McGruff, just say no to drugs..." So im guessing that they were all fucked up on drugs. About 3 minutes before we are about to close up for the night, this japanese lady ran up to the registers huffing and puffing. I guess she really had to return whatever the hell she had to return. As she was being helped, i was emptying the trash behind the register singing "milky eyes" and the woman says "wow, you have a nice voice." i thought she was just being a smart ass and i just said my famous "oh ok" and she says "No seriously, you really do. I sing in operas" So she felt obligated to demonstrate. She was singing for a good 5 minutes....it was like screaming but really good. She left, the druggies left and it was 9 so i took off and that was pretty much it. Now that i look back at the whole night, it was just a bunch of really good screaming all night long.
"I need to make an Anime library of all the Anime i like so my kids can watch it and know why daddy is so fucked up."
