territorial

my lunchmates and i go out for lunch every day. but today, i had a photo shoot (no, not me) for the SCQ2 and it was running late, so i had to buy lunch at mini stop and eat in the office pantry.

there were only 3 people inside the pantry, 2 seating down and eating salad and another one standing up. there was one available chair and i sat down on it. i started opening my lunch when Old One said "Bratty, that's my chair."

i replied, "No, its not, you're standing." he said, "No, that's MY chair."

i got pissed off and i couldn't help myself so i retorted, "Ganito pala dito sa pantry, territorial."

and the three of them fell silent. and i ate my lunch in silence.

after 10 minutes, the Old One said, "Ang tahimik ni Bratty ah, di nagsasalita."

i didn't reply nor made any expression, i just continued eating my lunch. My Brand Manager "saved" me by saying, "Hindi, gutom lang yan si Bratty."

the Old One could have said it in a better way and i wouldn't be pissed off. jeez, what a jerk. aside from the way he said it, the following facts added to my pissed-off state: (1) he's a guy for goodness sakes; (2) he can easily grab a chair (4 chairs to be exact) that was a meter away from him; and (3) he's 2 decades older than me.

thank god, he'll be on leave starting tomorrow.
