Quadruple The Effort
(A local shop has a rewards program so I sign up for it, and I am assigned the number 633331. One day, my wife and I go shopping and we’re at the register.)
Cashier: “Number, please.”
Me: “6, quadruple 3, 1.”
Cashier: “Uh?”
Me: “6, quadruple 3, 1.”
Cashier: “Uh?”
Me: “Okay, 6, four threes, 1.”
Cashier: “6431.”
Me: “No, 6,3,3,3,3,1.”
Cashier: “631 and?”
Me: “6, double 3, double 3, 1.”
Cashier: “6, double 3, 1 and?”
Me: *getting annoyed* “6 double 3, double 3, 1.”
Cashier: “I already have 6, double 3, 1! Next?”
Me: “Please write what I tell you, EXACTLY!”
Wife: “[My Name], calm down.”
Me: “But she’s not writing what I tell her.”
Cashier: “Yes, I am!”
Me: “NO, you’re not! Write what I tell you to write, NOT what you think I want you to write! Now, start again. 6.”
Cashier: “6.”
Me: “Double 3.”
Cashier: “Double 3.”
Me: “Double 3.”
Cashier: “I’ve done that.”
Me: “Double 3!”
Cashier: “I’ve done that!”
Me: “DO IT AGAIN!”
Cashier: “Double 3.”
Me: “1.”
Cashier: “1… Oh!”
