I really hope I'm just developing a case of paranoia. I really do.
You be the judge.
The waitress I reprimanded earlier for not providing me with timely service at the hotel bar, today met me at the door with a sunny smile and took my order before I'd had time to properly sit down. I smiled and thought "good for her". This was to be a gooood Saturday.
After having my necessary bottle of water and copious amounts of rooibos-tea (I'm pretending to be healthy, let's hope the lingering flu is fooled), I felt like having a latte.
In case you have missed it before (not very likely, but anyhow), lattes in this country rock, really rock, and so does the bonus cake that comes with the latte. This coffee is awesome. I. Can. Not. Stay. Away.
The waitress took my order, and went away. I was happily looking forward to my latte (which was gonna rock, seriously). And oh how I long for that unblemished frame of mind, as my mental state was soon to take an unfortunate spirally dip (this is not an uncommon occurrence).
When the waitress arrived with my latte she set it down in front of me, fixed me with a meaningful stare and said: "I hope you enjoy your latte, I made it specially for you."
Perhaps having read this about a maid using her menstrual blood as a voodoo-y spice in her employers' food (via Stepford Dreams), I was already in pretty someone's-out-to-get-me state of mind. Now... is it just me or is this the worst thing for a waitress to say to a coffee-crazed Finn who is not unwilling to entertain elaborate conspiracy theories?
Well, maybe it is just me. Yup, pretty sure it's just me. Shouldn't probably have had all that sugary cake at breakfast... hmph...
Well, it has been at least weeks since my last proper bout of self-inflicted housewife drama. This was long overdue.
Thanks universe.

You know that saying... just because you are paranoid it does not mean they're not out to get you? I had a friend who used to fly (was a cabin steward, I think they called them then) and he swore that when travellers pissed off the flight crew, they really did spit in their beverages. Just a thought. I think that girl with the latte was too friendly.
Noooooooooo
I had just pretty nigh convinced myself that it was all in my head and now I think I taste someone else's spit in my mouth.
Let me reiterate:
Nooooooooooo
And the worst thing is, you're probably right.
