Banana Mash

So, yesterday my day got off to a bad start - I had dropped off my coat at the dry cleaners on Monday which meant I had been FREEZING MY TUCHUS OFF ALL WEEK IN NEW YORK. The coat was supposed to be ready on Friday so I went to go pick it up only to find that it hadn't actually been cleaned when I got it home. ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I had taken it in and told the man that I had a banana in my pocket and then forgot about it and ended up with nasty banana mush all over the pocket and around it. Disgusting. He's a very sweet man but English is not his first language and it didn't seem like he knew what a banana was. I thought about acting out a monkey but that seemed offensive. So I just pointed to it and said "Food".

LESSON OF THE DAY:
Sometimes, if people don't really speak English, it's just not gonna work out the way it should. I need to find a new dry cleaner. Wah wah.
