Visitor (cheerily): Good evening.
Receptionist: Hallo. (Gives visitor a glance and resumes mobile phone binge)
Visitor (taken aback): Will you attend to me please?
Receptionist (Shooting daggers at Visitor): What do you want?
Visitor (takes a few seconds to register this behavior): Oh! Ok. Nothing!!! (Said with a pinch of venom)
Receptionist puts mobile phone on the desk and starts tapping away at keyboard, occasionally lifting her eyes to the computer in front of her and doing a silly smile. It is obvious the social media binge has been taken to another level. Visitor has suddenly become non-existent.
Visitor (Ezzztreeeemly agitated): Madame, I need you to attend to me. (Silence)
How dare you talk to me like that? Who do you think you are? You think you are the first person to sit at the front desk and take calls. I also know what it means to sit in that place and use a computer. Do I Iook like your your co-wife, eh???! Muwala, you are one rude piece of sh**! Gosh! Is this what your company is like???
Receptionist casts her another dangerously condescending look but says nothing.
Visitor continues venting away until one of the people she came in with tells her to pipe down and pulls her to a seat. But she’s not finished and her voice rises several decibels higher.
Finally, one of the staff who has heard the commotion from the inside office walks up to her. They speak for a few minutes and only then does she lower her voice.
The concerned member of staff suggests that they take this somewhere else.
On the way out, the eyes of Visitor and Receptionist meet. Paaa!
Receptionist contorts her face and then sniggers loudly at Visitor.
It is at that moment that all hell breaks lose.
Something in Visitor snaps.
She stops, approaches the desk.
Her eyes are fixed on the orange stapler.
Quick as a wink she grabs the device and aims it at the open laughing mouth.
Receptionist senses trouble coming and swiftly ducks.
The stapler whizzes past her head and clatters to the wooden floor.
Member of staff aka lifesaver, is visibly disturbed by this dramatic violent turn of events and pulls Visitor outside.
Receptionist is horrified and dissolves into tears.
