There was a customer named Mrs. Bloom and Mrs. Bloom was our customer until Mrs. Bloom was not our customer because I broke a Chinese pot inside of Mrs. Bloom's home.
I was cleaning the windows at Mrs. Bloom's house and her windows looked good after I had cleaned them and as I was looking at her clean windows I bumped a picture frame by her window which broke the handle of a Chinese pot that sat by the window.
Mrs. Bloom yelled from the other room, "That didn't sound good" as she stormed into the room as I looked guilty and sounded guilty and felt guilty holding the pieces of the handle of that Chinese pot in my hand and I thought to myself, "It's just a pot, at least it wasn't an urn" but then I had to look again to make sure it wasn't an urn with one of Mrs. Bloom's dead relatives inside and I learned it wasn't an urn.
She was livid and scolded me and said, "That pot was IRREPLACEABLE! We bought that pot when we lived in China in the 90's" and I'm thinking "Hobby Lobby probably has a replaceable irreplaceable pot where you don't have to go all the way to China to get an irreplaceable pot that is probably replaceable.
I told an angry Mrs. Bloom, "I'm sorry about breaking your pot" as Mrs. Bloom's husband sat on the couch and kept reading his magazine and with that magazine he kept reading he never looked up from it letting me know he knew when to stay glued to a magazine.
I told her I would not charge her but she said, "No, charge me" but I said, "No, I will not charge you" but she said "No, charge me" so I said "Ok I will take charge and charge you but first I need to see your charge card" and as I charged her charge card I had to ask her for the three digit code in order to run the charge.
She sternly said, "The code is 666" which is the code number I could have known for she had the code of the mark of the beast and that beast mode and beast code were unleashed on me.
I told her thanks as I awkwardly walked backwards towards her front door as her angry glare told me she was not thankful for me saying thanks so I said, "Sorry and thanks and thanks and sorry" but she never thanked me but I was thankful we will never have to go back and say thanks and sorry again.
