Extreme Primate Refereeing
(I work at a snack cart across from the gorilla enclosure. A woman walks up to me and this conversation ensued.)
Customer: “Look! Look! The gorillas are fighting!”
Me: “No, they just rough-house like that about this time every day.”
Customer: “No, that’s fighting. Someone’s going to get hurt.”
Me: “Ma’am, seriously, that’s how they play.”
Customer: “That’s a fight! Stop them! Right now! It’s a bad example for the children.”
Me: “Stop them… how?”
Customer: “Get in there and make them cut it out right now!”
Me: *staring at her while other customers in line laugh*
Customer: *stomping off* “I’m telling your boss you won’t stop that violence!”
Next Customer In Line: “So you’re in charge of gorillas AND churros, huh?”
