SNIT
The next morning I forgot my coffee. Even though I was just
ten minutes from my office I stopped to buy a cup.
A very pretty girl in line in front of me went off on her boyfriend.
He’d forgotten a coupon that might have saved them a dollar. I recognized him. He was a new client.
As she rattled on, my mind began to wander. Looking for a
kinder word than the one that popped into my head at first, I landed on the
word snit. So Not Into This. Some New
Insane Tirade. Someone Needs Immediate
Tasering.
“Life is too short to spend time around snitwits,” I whispered
to him as she ordered. “Especially in early recovery when your emotions are
raw. You can’t argue with snitwits, best
to avoid them if you can.”
He shrugged, looked her up and down, and made a gesture that
said, “She’s hot, I’m an idiot.”
Today I’ll avoid the snitwits.
Fawlty Showers is a work of fiction. Any similarity between
the characters and anyone you might know is purely coincidental.
