You ever hear/see/say something and the other person makes you take a step back and you just "blink" because anything else might warrant a "WTH" response from you?

Just a little tidbit of my week:

• Today, I duck out of the office to the bank with a quick errand that consists of depositing cash into my account and, while I triple check it for accuracy, I still hand it over to the teller with the hope and belief that she will also count it. I get the fresh outta school teller, a young whippersnapper (shush - my new word, 'k?) who made a point of repeatedly sighing because I decided to interrupt her gossip fest with her fellow teller. (Note: I was the only customer in the joint so sorry - didn't know she'd be "busy"). I've had this chick before and she's famous for the sighs and eyerolls. Rather than actually - I dunno - count the money like the other tellers do - she runs it through the machine. It doesn't matter if it's $40 or $400, that gal will run it through the counting machine every flippin' time. So, I'm a bit grouchy and remark "Wow, I must be old - I remember when tellers actually had to *gasp* COUNT the deposits by HAND". She tells me how the machines are "more accurate". What I wanted to tell her was "No - you're just lazy". Instead, she got a *blink blink*.
• Driving up to the garage the other day, I had a woman who - no joke - BACKED DOWN THE RAMP almost into my car. Reason: because she drove past this little tiny space that couldn't fit her honkermobile but she was determined to fit it in that teenytinyspace - during morning rush hour. I had 4 cars behind me and the wench kept backing up, all the while she's ignoring our honks that not only we couldn't move but she was about to hit me, whereby starting a domino effect. If I had gotten in the elevator with her, you know I would have cursed her the hell out. Instead I had to be satisfied with calling her a dumbass, blinking at her and then telling my co-worker about her idiocy while she trotted oblivious into work ahead of us but not close enough for me to have a "discussion." As my co-worker said "I know she heard you". Hopefully she'll think next time before she pulls such a dumb move.
• I had to play Phone Stalker today with someone from another office. This wench will NOT call me back. She works weird hours and I've been stalkin' her for months to schedule something SO simple for my boss. Seriously simple. She doesn't call, she doesn't email - nada. I just so happen to get her on the phone today, repeat my reasons for calling (and I'm nice). She insists she's not familiar with the project I'm calling about. That warrants a *blink blink* because I've talked to her about it COUNTLESS times before and so I call her out on it - slightly nicely. That wench decides to cop a 'tude and tells me she's on a deadline. Sure, so am I but doh. So, I relished the fact of telling her to finish her deadline and then to CALL ME BACK TODAY. What she doesn't know is my boss is gonna call HER boss if this crap keeps up. Lazy azz. [Note she called me groveling about two hours later]
• Picking up lunch, the man making my sandwich tells me "You know how dirty it gets back here? We don't get paid enough - we only get paid $8.00 an hour". Ummm.. *blink blink* I'm not really hungry for lunch today and I think that spot and I are about to break up now.

There's more as the day rolls along but for now, I'll just blink my little heart out.
