It is when it puts her on the business end of a pair of sphinx balls. Sometimes mouthing off gets you a customer complaint and being yelled at by your boss, and sometimes it gets you thrown under a pair of bean bags. Par for the course for delivery ponies; she’d rather deal with this than be chased by harpies again XD
@Badumsquish
Their culture is none of her business! She is only delivering pizzas! She thinks all her sphinx power is so scary? It’s notihng compared to the real horror that is worker oppression and minimum wages!
@Just Wayne
A lot of sphinx culture revolves around riddles. Asking a riddle of someone who wishes to do business with you is a cherished tradition, and essentially their form of a polite greeting and small-talk. There’s no stakes for that kind of riddle either, aside from you might get a bit better of a tip if you get it right, since the pursuit of knowledge is a cornerstone of their culture: getting it right means you are knowledgeable, getting it wrong means you have more to learn. So by blowing her riddle off, not only did Falling Comet essentially tell her to go and fuck herself, but also essentially told her her beliefs are shit. Honestly, putting her balls on her like this is being incredibly lenient; a lot of sphinxes would have flicked Comet over the horizon for that XD
@Badumsquish
Rude?! If that was rude of her then I’d like to see what polite is like to Ms Sphinx! Oh that’s right, literally kneeling to her every whim right? Typical. Damn those rich and powerful Karens!
@WaynePonePone @Supermark @Setsugekka @Lunafan
Since she was rude, now she has to play a punishment game if she still wants a tip. Sphinxy just doesn’t realize that being trapped under hot, heavy balls is actually a much better time than what would happen if Falling Comet returned to work immediately after the delivery: a staff meeting where she wonders what happy ponies are doing while her boss points at a chart, recites buzzwords, and insists the ponies he pays 6 bits an hour to are “valued members of the family” while one idiotic ass-kissing co-worker asks questions that prolong it by 45 minutes. Comet’s going to make this last as long as possible XD
@Daisydragon
There’s worse ways to spend an afternoon in customer service, and she gets paid by the hour :P
@Train Track
It’s not. 6 bits an hour plus tips, and she can eat as many of the “hot and ready” slices as she likes provided they’re at least an hour old :P
@dzamie
Worst thing that ever happened to her on the job is she got grabbed by a mimic and it ate her uniform. She had to pay to replace it. There’s two and a half hours of her life down the drain XD

Sphinx: “Congratulations, you passed the test. I–”
Comet: “No, not yet. Keep me pinned for 12 more minutes. Then I get an hour overtime.” :P
@dzamie
“She’s a sphinx. She is massive, can use magic, and demanding things is usually what they do. Not taking anything from us is pretty much the same as paying us. Look, just take this as a semi-vacation and enjoy your time.”
@Background Pony #DA9E
“Boss, she does this every time. I really think you should blacklist The Pyramid.”
“Nonsense, repeat customers are good for business.”
“Pretty sure she has to pay to be a customer.”
“Hi boss. I can’t return to work. I’m trapped under the sweaty balls of a giant sphinx.”
“You used that excuse last week.”
“The same thing happened last week.”
I could see sphinxy being a bit annoyed that her punishment for losing the riddle is so boring for the delivery pony.
I also find the idea fun “She works in customer service. She deals with bigger ballsacks than that every single day of her life. You gotta do way better than that”
I mean, she could grow a couple of times to fundament her lead on “having the biggest” ballsack
:P

It’s comforting to know that no matter who you are, there is a pretty good chance you’ll end up pinned under her balls if you irk her :P
