Foodcourt Rudeness
Friday, February 27, 2009
OMG! Never in my life have such travesty happened to me!I was at 768's Forks and Spoons eating dinner with my parents. We sat at a table, and there was another table besides us, separated by a small low partition. My mother went off to buy food, and my father went off to buy drinks.
So, I was watching the TV on my left, with my body arched towards the TV and back facing the other empty table. In comes a group of 2 mothers and 3 kids, and they took the table of 4 next to mine. I didn't really go and care why they would not sit at the round table nearby, instead choosing a 4-person table arrangement; watching Rihanna's beaten-up pictures (poor thing!!!) was more entertaining.
And when I turned my back around during the commercial break, I noticed the chair next to me missing. And then I realized that one of the mother have taken it for her kid.
I was shocked and aghast. I mean, don't they have the basic courtesy to ASK me if the chair is occupied? What if I am dining with 3 other people? They DON'T even know that, because they came after my parents went off to buy food and drinks.
I mean, yes, maybe I was distracted. Maybe they called me, and I didn't hear. THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE THEM. The mother could have came up to me, tapped on my shoulder, or something. OMG lor. But since I am only eating with my parents, I just let it slide. Whatevs. So, I just continued staring at the inconsiderate idiots.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT TOOK THE BALL GAME TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!
One mother (note: MOTHER, not kid) took an empty tray and PLACED IT ON MY TABLE. I am like, WTF! NEVER IN MY LIFE! I mean, people often put empty trays on empty unoccupied tables, I understand. But placing empty trays on an empty OCCUPIED table is just going overboard! WHERE DID THEY LEARN THEIR MANNERS AND COURTESY FROM? I am sitting right there, HELLO! It's not like I don't need to eat anything, you bitches. This shows a total lack of consideration and manners and courtesy. Total Lack. Moreover, they are lousy examples to their young impressionable kids.
Luckily, I saw an unoccupied table nearby and hurriedly changed seats. And then proceed to bitch to my parents about the pests of society (Exhibit A were sitting next to our old table).
Okay. I should show poise, elegance and graciousness. I am way above them. Way above.
They should be sent to courtesy classes.
