Alien
So there I was attempting to conduct our business, when this woman comes along and starts eavesdropping. I can't begin to describe just how much this pisses me, and my client, off. Simultaneously, he fell silent and I felt myself flush. This is never a good thing. Luckily, this particular client has been coming to us for years and not only knows what I am like , but has himself been on the receiving end.
Client: Don't get upset.
Can I help you?
Tourist woman: No, just looking.
Well, if you wouldn't mind...
Tourist woman: What is that?
It's a rock.
Tourist woman: vacant look
Want a closer look? Moving towards her, strained, venom dripping and anything but the vision of sugarplum fairies dancing through my head.
Tourist woman: her phone rings, she moves away to answer.
Saved by the bell.
Clearly, she didn't like the idea of others listening to her conversation.

Don't ever stop telling us your war stories. they make me laugh every time (but also feel a little insecure that you would loathe me too!)
Don't worry, I am pushover for a southern accent. Unless of course one is a doctor's wife. ;-}
