Health, Embarrassing and Work: Sorry…

Sorry…

By Ricky - 09/03/2009 00:00 - Canada

Today, I was working at Old Navy. A girl came up to me and did a bizarre dance. Not knowing how to react, I imitated her to be friendly with the customer. Then she stopped cold. Her friend stormed up to me and yelled, "You jerk! Why are you making fun of her? She has Tourette's, you know!" FML

A cashier's life

Today, as I worked as a cashier, two girls came up laughing. I smiled as I rang them up, asking what had made them laugh so hard. One looked me dead in the face and said, "You." They then both walked away, laughing. FML

Today, I was at a restaurant, and I saw my friend. When we made eye contact, I made a creepy face at her and twitched my arms to make her laugh. A woman looked over said sadly, "Oh my God, that poor girl!" She thought I was "special." FML

Today, I got bitched out by some lady in a Walmart because I looked at her funny while she was on the phone, loudly bragging about "slapping the shit out of" her kids. FML

What the…?

Today, whilst in the break room at work, a girl I don’t know walked into the room. She gave me a look of utter disgust, then turned and walked back out of the room. I was so shocked, I burst out laughing. FML

Today, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML

Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML

Today, a very large lady was sitting down and panting as she watched me stock the bottom shelves at my store. Apparently, being able to squat down and stand back up repeatedly means I'm mocking her, and she threatened to report me to corporate. FML

Today, I was shopping in the mall. A cute store worker kept checking me out, so after I picked a few things I went up to her and started flirting. After a few seconds, she cut me off and said, "Actually I was watching you because you look like someone who would shoplift." FML

Today, although I can't dance, I decided to go to a club. A really cute girl asked me to dance, and I politely declined. She kept insisting, so I finally said okay. A few minutes in, she stopped, looked at me, and said, "If you're going to make fun of my dancing, I'm leaving." FML

People with Tourette's get the "Are you dancing" line all the time, and sometimes the dance along thing. She was used to it, I'm sure. I've never really understood though, I've never thought the twitches look anything like dancing.

Okay I will say you are a douche, because I hate it when people do that to my Tourette's. I mean it only takes a bit of sense to not to imitate "bizarre" behavior. Also, I will have to admit, it is true that there was no way to know. I mean there isn't a day where I don't get screamed at by a yuppie mom for cursing in front of their kids. I tell them I have Tourette's and they don't believe me, so I have it on a med-alert bracelet, a card issued by the Tourette's Association, and a damn medical letter...bitchy ass moms. When I was younger when people would mock my Tourette's and they already knew, I would kick their asses, because I wasn't going to take the mockery lying down. But the girl's friend is an idiot, let your friend fight her own battles. The best thing to combat ignorance is to represent yourself, don't ******* hide behind someone else's skirt. Oh and #82, Tourette's is a real disease. It is what happens when your brain is too sensitive to the chemical Dopamine. Dopamine is one of the chemicals your brain uses to send messages fomr synapse to synapse. So basically it results in uncontrolled vocal or physical movements. It can also be accompanied, with OCD and ADHD, because those are disorders that have uncontrolled behavior or thinking. It is also listed under the Americans with Diasabilities Act and treatment for Tourette's is required to be paid for by insurance. It is a neuroligical disorder, not a mental disorder.
