the planet jew

i just got hardcore sassed by a woman on the phone at work. hardcore. observe:

customer: do you have any shows the weekend after christmas?
me: you mean, after the 24th? (referring to the fact that there is a show on the 24th)
customer: christmas is the 25th! not the 24th!
me: yeah, i know. it's just that we have a show ---
customer: i was gonna say, what planet are you from?!?

she didn't say it in a funny, teasing way. she seemed geniunely shocked that i'd mentioned christmas eve, and not christmas day. she even did one of those stupid, "i'm-talking-to-an-imbecile" chuckles.

how dare i even insinuate that i don't know the date of christ's birth. how dare i indeed.

(i should do a one-woman show, and just act out all the ridiculous things people have said to me at this job. i have a feeling that the ridiculousness is something that must be experienced in full before it is understood).

and of course to be fair, everyone knows christ wasn't born anywhere near the month of december.
