Sure is slow in here today. My parents and I went to a local restaurant for breakfast this morning. As we sat at our table (we get the same one every time) we were discussing our upcoming schedules when several older couples (50's to late 60's), dressed like they were coming from or going to church, came in. Two of the couples headed for the counter to place their orders while the man of couple #3 went to set a couple of tables together. His wife (who shall be known as woman #3) heads toward the counter then when she's almost there she turns and hollers across the room to him, asking what he wants for breakfast. Meanwhile we continue our quiet discussion. She's standing very near to us and when she can't quite make out what her husband said she looked down at us and said 'You people shut up! I can't hear my husband!' to which my mother quietly and politely tells her to go talk to him instead of yelling across the room. The woman replied by saying 'I didn't ask you for advice, now shut up b*t*h!'. At this point one of the other women got involved, coming to her friends aid and started lambasting my parents, and myself, with some of the filthiest language I've ever heard come out of a woman's mouth, and believe me, I've heard some doozies. She even had the audacity to make remarks about my father's racial preferences, being that my mother is Native American (Cherokee). It really irks me when somebody refers to me as a 'halfbreed', especially when it's someone who doesn't know what they're talking about, but when they start insulting my parents I get really PO'd. The more I asked her to stop the more she kept on and the louder and filthier she got. As you can imagine it wasn't long before management got involved. Woman #3 immediately laid the blame for the whole thing squarely on my parents and myself, referring to me as a no-good half breed who probably never made it past fifth grade and how we shouldn't be allowed in such places, but the manager wasn't buying into it. We have been going to this place for breakfast twice a week since it opened in 1980. Woman #3 then tied into the manager and made remarks that made it clear she was referring to his possible parentage and no kindly either. As it ended up, all three couples were made to leave. The people you run into. We get our next breakfast there free.
