Hey gang! I'm back and settled into my apartment in Manhattan and have time to "reflect" on my Minnesota work trip. Shout out to my readers out there - oh haaaay!
Let's back this blog up to Monday night. I finally land in Minneapolis around 11 pm and I burst into the airport to be greeted by ... nothing. I'm all "hellloooo Minnesota!" and Minnesota's all like *crickets.* Ok that's fine. I was excited to get out of the hustle and bustle anyway.
I get myself into a "taxi" and immediately start laughing. We've managed to get the meter up to $10 and we hadn't even left the airport so I can see I'm in for a cheap ride to the hotel. We're about five minutes into the ride and there's a grand total of 2 other cars on the road and just GUESS what my driver decides to do. He HONKS. The mother trucker HONKS. You can bet your bottom dollar that I shot the worst death glare his way. Everything goes off fine after that and I get myself into the hotel... just in time for some quick shut eye.
The next morning I make my way into the office and I'm literally the only one on the sidewalks... starting to think I may be the only person in all of St. Paul. On my walk (which is all of 6 minutes) I see ERBS AND GERBS and DUNN BROTHERS. My life is complete. If you don't know what they are... get yourself to Minnesota and experience the awesomeness. Anyway this just puts me in the best mood ever.
I work my lil heart out all day and find myself at a bar later that night with a few friends. Turns out I was the only one on the sidewalks because there's this thing called
the skyway. Oh you Minnesotans. You so clever. Anyway. The night was fabulous and am so happy to have those memories with old friends!
The next day at work I get Chipotle. And something odd happens. I get a little bit of a death glare from a woman. After I got back from the trip I was explaining this interaction to my friend Emily. I'm just gonna put our conversation here. I'm the grey box and Emily has the lil blue person next to the words. Please enjoy the most absurd conversation about ordering beans from a Chipotle.
I Got a death glare from a woman
so i'm at chipotle cuz its all i could find that was quick hhaa
and i'm just like "yea i'll have a bowl with white rice." and they ask all their questions and i just responded with what i wanted
and i dont know if i sounded like a bitch but the woman ahead of me just like turned and stared
and i was like... what is happening.
wait you just ordered a bowl with plain rice?
well thats the answer to the first two questions
the first person asks if its a burrito or a bowl
and then white or brown rice
so i just saved them the effort
bowl to go with white rice
then the next person goes what kind of meat?
so i was just being efficient
idk i think i must have sounded angry. its my only theory i got
you just said it again? probably
you could have been like oh, no, I just only want the rice bowl, nothing else and then like smiled
I can picture what you did do
only cause I know you're not a mean person hahaha
yea i think its me then cuz they werent nice to me at dunn bros either
i'm gonna start being nicer
in an attempt to re-submerge myself in midwest culture
i dont think i ever smiled before ny
but i dont have a smiley face either
ok but next time i can def be less direct with my ordering
out here you just shout everything real fast
you can be direct, just put some finesse into it
i think a bowl sounds super great today
and gosh. i dont know. chicken sound nummy
no just like 1 smile and a thanks! but like allll or nothing
well if they say do you want beans and i dont
you really would be like no! *smiles*
or no i'm good thanks! *smiles*
do you want beanS? "no beans"
dont tell me thats not normal
yeah you got the stink eye cause you came off as rude I think
THIS. this. i'm standing my ground on lol
they totally thought i was rude lol
at first when i started the story i was like might be reading into it
but the more we discuss yes.
i would not like ze beans today thanks
beans upset my stomach. not today young fella
we got to bring it back a notch
no beans seams like a fantastic way to say... no beans
god i might have to blog about it
I mean, you just repeated back to them only meaner
@meaner cause thats funny
it was as monotone as could be
= I don't care why are you asking me this
like they're jsut trying to do their job
i said chicken in the same tone
and you're like I cannot be bothered with you peasants
when i was done i said "that's it!"
when waiters bring me anything i always say thank you
when they handed me my food after i paid i said thank you
well they're bringing you your food too
you can say it more than once and in a nice tone
if somebody holds my door i say thank you
cause that's my fav part so far
like is this actually a thing or are we making it a thing
cuz this is getting kinda funny
hahaha um? Im not sure what you're saying
I think its hysterical that we just went on a rant about it for like 10 mins?
like are we being extreme with this scenario
yea thats what i'm saying
we're extreme about literally everything
like did i aaaactually change to a monotone no beans type of person
hahaha we do cross the line on almost everything
yeah no I think you're there. you are a monotone no beans gal
you've been east long enough
