Yesterday, we had to go to the airport, my sister in law has been here from Canada for a month, and was flying in via Cape Town on her way home, so we wanted to say goodbye and spend a few hours with her, who knows when we will see her again..............
We decided to go for lunch first, and after some "family" conflict, my husband wanted to go to a cheap and nasty restaurant, luckily we out voted him, we decided on the News Cafe, about 20 minutes from the airport.................... strangely enough it was not very busy and as usual my husband picked the remotest spot, and as my daughter said, the most antisocial spot there was in the entire restaurant in the back, in the corner............
As we sat down, we glanced admiringly at a number of cars parked outside.............. a Lambogini, a sports Mercedes, a sports Alpha............. all in black, all brand new ......... if only............
I then noticed a crowd of people in the opposite corner....................... at a glance I could see that he was the owner of at least one of these vehicles, one of the guys had a gold necklace on............ jokes aside........ about 5 cm think, with the rings and bracelets, with the designer gear, the designer sunglasses...........that went with it.
It turned out to be the lunch from hell............ we ordered lunch and then "They" started getting louder and louder and the language was appalling, I am surprised that the air was not blue, and that a lightning bolt did not appear and strike them down....... it was all I could do not to get up and "advise" them of how inappropriate their language was , if fact washing their mouths out with soap, bleech and disinfectant came to mind...........
I have never heard such language used, it was pouring forth in an endless "spew" of "f" words and extensions there of, mothers were also mentioned a few times...... and it was not complimentary that I can tell you ............... They used it on each other, and they used it at the people they were talking to on their cell phones.....
We wondered where they had got all there money from, and from the snippets of information that wafted our way, it sounded like they owned a night club, as they were talking about beating trouble makes up........... locking them in vans.........
At one time I did turn around and give them a "Whittal" special look, to no avail, ....... it is not often that this looks fails.............. although with all the talk of beating people up it was rather half hearted, . what is even more disgusting there were woman at the table, I can't say ladies, because as a lady I would never allow a man to use that language in front of me .................
My daughter informed me that, that is how the "youngsters" talk these days, you can have all the money in the world, that does not make you a decent person, and I know that I shouldn't judge, but trash is trash, no matter how expensive it is ............... all I can say is over my dead body, would I ever allow myself to be subject to that filth.................
I so absolutely agree! One time when one of our docs used the f word, I told him that it was too bad he went to school for so many years and all he learned were four lettered words! He has really cleaned up his language now.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same, I might drop the f bomb but it is few and far between. I actually usually tell them to watch it, young kids around and all speech.
