Poker

So I'm chatting with the chef making my lunch today when out of no where some one pokes me in the arm. Not a gently poke. Not a tap on the shoulder. Not clearing your throat to get my attention or even an "excuse me". Nope, none of those, but an honest to goodness poke in the arm. Really?! When is that ever okay? Never. Plain and simple, you just don't go around poking people in the arm. What if I had just gotten a tattoo there and she poked me? I would have come un-glued. Or what if I had been in a car wreck or tragic accident and that wasn't even a real arm??? I guess she would still be standing there. I really wanted to be rude to the poking woman, but I'm just not that type of person. She wanted to know what was under the lids next to the veggies and cook tops. Not sure why she asked me unless she thought I worked in the kitchen. The woman was like 6' tall and had some serious blue or green eye shadow on, I think someone at MAC pulled a fast one on her. After I answered her question with, "I'm not sure", she wanted to be all buddy-buddy with me. I really hope I don't end up having to work with or for this woman at any point in my career, because I would hate to have to break her poking finger...
