No Shower = Idiot Repellant

One thing I really cannot stand is a ringing doorbell or phone while I’m eating. The fact that she came to our door as we were sitting in front of the TV stuffing out faces got her off to a really bad start.

Olivier answered the door and found her standing there. Without saying “hello” or even introducing herself, she asked him if he spoke English. He told her that he did. For some reason, she continued to speak her shitty French in a German accent.

Evidently, a neighbor had told her that Olivier is a professional computer geek. She said that she was in school and needed internet access to finish… I don’t know – something for school. She insisted that Olivier come to her apartment and fix her computer so that she could use another neighbor’s wireless connection. It was “urgent” she said.

First she said that she had internet access, then she didn’t. Obviously, this person was lying. My theory is that she wanted Olivier to help her steal someone’s wireless connection.

So…a stranger comes to the door. She asks a man she has never met to come and work on her computer for free. Oh, and what she’s asking him to do is illegal. Eventually, I got tired of listening to her attempts at bullshitting and Olivier calling bullshit on everything that she said.

I got up and walked over to the door. I stood behind Olivier and stared at her for a moment, then I walked off. She immediately said goodbye, turned and scurried away.

I’m not sure what it was about my presence or expression that caused her to turn and run. Perhaps my “pre-shower” look is more than a weird, thieving stranger can take.
