People simply don't know how to behave
in public. This coming from someone who screeched 'Asshole!' and
flipped the bird at an auto-driver yesterday may seem a bit much, but
still....I would never do what this woman did at Barista. First of
all, she was getting the evil eye from other customers because she
was a big woman, and tucking into a cheese croissant and cold coffee
with nary a care in the world. Yes, people are like that. 'Honey,
really?' were the thought bubbles appearing above several turned
heads but I digress. As I tried in vain to catch the server's eye,
she had no such compunction. 'Tissues!' she bellowed. Then she
stabbed the croissant with a forefinger you couldn't ignore and said,
'Bring butter.' When she next bellowed for the bill, we were better
prepared but honestly, what ever happened to using some good,
old-fashioned articles prefaced with a 'May I' or some such thing. So
okay, I was still struggling with a delicately upraised hand while
she had already paid and walked into the sunset to rue someone else's
day but I dunno, I don't mind waiting a bit rather than opening my
mouth and removing all doubt about my antecedents.
