Default Can't a brotha get some love around here?

Me and some peeps went to go see the silver dollar classic. The good parking spots were gone, I wasn't about to park in Joe's backyard for $10, so I dropped off my boys and went home.
I decided to check out an FBO in El Monte figuring they'd show me more love(respect) than the cats down in Torrance. In Torrance, nobody said nothin' to me the whole time I was there. Very strange considering there were lots of instructors around. I even looked cats in the eye and said Hi in a non-confrontational way (hands to the side and smiling). Anyways, I bounced after about 10-15 minutes of the silent treatment.
After that cold shoulder treatment, I went into the El Monte FBO and chose to engage in conversation with an instructor. After talking for about 5 minutes, another dude yelled at him that his appointment cancelled, so he bailed on me in mid convo. Then a older lady behind the counter just starts talking to me, but she is all smart and talks to me like I'm a dummy. Then while we are talking the phone rings, she answers it (even though there are two cats already there and the instructor finally came back but not to talk to me) and talks to this dummy inquiring about what rental cars they have. Chick just forgot she was talking to me and I'm standing right in front of her. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, but after she was on the phone with him for a solid 7 minutes, yeah I timed it, I bounced.
Anyways, just had to vent about the lack of respect in the air LOL. I'm off to finally finish my training at Sunquest, they showed a brotha some love when I walked in.
