What makes stupid people tick?

I have been quite clumsy of late. I broke two bottles of nail polish not too long ago, and both bottles kinda "shattered" and expectedly, splashed nail polish all over the place.

Well, one of them was broken in my home, the other was broken at Watsons. You see, the Watsons has this little stands with layers of basket like containers to place smaller products like nail polishes.

The person who topped that compartment up also one kind. Filled it up to the brim, how can people look through the bottles of nail polishes without dropping some of it out?? Well, yeah, quite expectedly, one bottle dropped out, and well, splashed all over the place, with broken glass and all.

So, I went to inform one of the staff there that I had broken a bottle of nail polish, cos its a mess, somemore at the cashier area right at the front of the store where there are alot of people, people coming in and out of the store, and people queuing to pay.

And this was what happened:

Me: "Erm, excuse me, I broke a bottle of nail polish in front of the cashier"

She (in a very casual and laid back tone): "You broke a bottle of nail polish? Oh, its ok..."

She then continued with whatever she was doing..............

Me: "Erm, but its all over the place, with broken glass"

She: "Oh, ok.."

Finally makes her way to the mess I've created.

I don't know if she stupid or what really.

I know that its ok that I broke a bottle of nail polish cos I spent a good amount of time working at Watsons last time and we didn't charged anyone for breakage, and besides, it costs only $3.90. Bleahzz! I'm not telling you cos I'm expecting to pay for it ok?

I'm telling you cos its a huge mess out there and I'm indirectly asking you to clear it cos with broken glass and polish over the place, people could have been hurt. Really have no sense of urgency, either that, or she is really dumb.

I mean, last time when I was working at Watsons, when customers told me something was broken or spilled, my INSTINCT reaction was to get a cloth and plastic bag to go clear whatever the mess was. No?

Must I really go tell her "hey, I accidentally broke a bottle of nail polish, can you please go clean it up?" *shakes head* Like I always say, it amazes me to see so many stupid people around.

Ok fine, maybe I should not be too mean since I was at fault for breaking the bottle of nail polish.
