(deep breath) This was the past hour/twenty of my life.I will try to leave out adjectives that are pejorative. I love the new DVD player. I am amazed at the quality, especially on a big glass tube TV. I am a photographer, I can see the difference easily. I drive far too much, so I decide to walk to the Video Hut past the freeway. I find Black Hawk Down and get Beautiful Mind since everyone tells me I'm crazy. I walk to the front. Thru the plexiglas the woman beckons her little daughter; the mom doesn't speak English. Daughter says we need ID and a bill. A bill? Like mail? "yes" Um, I just walked a half mile and it's 90 (32c) out and I don't have any mail. I have a perfect drivers license, with address only 6 city blocks away on the same street, (looks like me), I have 5 credit cards, a car insurance card with address AND I have 5 (five) photo-business cards with the same address. These are five different cards not computer-printed. I'm sorry this is all I have on me, and you won't run my credit card without a bill. A perfect case of triumph of rules, over intelligence. Long story short I walk back under the freeway and go straight to my car at home. I drive to Planet Hollywood. It's empty. I go straight to the (older) girl and I ask her to run my name in the computer. ( This place is a lot richer, in a better hood) I say, "please check my last name, break, b r e a k." I can hear her thru the glass saying "b r a k e" "no it's the other one" "what other one?" "like broken, b r e a k" I hear, "b r a k e n" "It's b r e a k" "b r a k e" I am not making this up. The look of intensity I give her wordlessly brings the manager over. I have stopped speaking and just stare at her. I'm sure they must get all sorts of troublesome people there, so he takes in a deep breath and asks to see my ID. I give it to him, he types in "break", and says my account is in good standing. "Thankyou, Sir" and I still won't look at the girl again. She was even cute. Too bad. I'm home now, rather incensed, and I am going to watch those movies. Several times, even. I go through this shit my whole life and it will never stop. b r e a k, thanks. Posted by Jynx on Jul. 25 2002,01:45
