Thanks Misizith! To be honest I don’t feel too much angst towards the cafe owner…. people are just fools sometimes and she is just being ignorant (and I got the sense she got herself into a spot of bother as her mouth was running away from her and hopefully regretted it later). She wasn’t being malicious or intentionally cruel, she was just a bit stupid.

So – going back to the cafe: I’ll see. It’s not that I have bad feelings towards her, it’s just that I’d feel a bit funny about seeing her again after how bad she made me feel this morning.

Hey Nic

So after that appalling display by the cafe owner of behaviour, ignorance and not to mention general thick-in-the head-ness (not that that’s a word!!) do you ever plan to go to that cafe again?

What did the rep say to you when you both left the cafe?

I’m so sorry and annoyed for you that you had to experience this. What a total loser that person was, nosey to start with and then know it all during & afterwards.

Can’t see that business surviving for too much longer!

Jeepers!

Thanks Sara-M and I think you’re right, I need to look at the funny side of this or even the “ahhhh well what can you do, not everyone in this life is a rocket scientist” light – but either way it’s not what you need of a day really. People can’t help being ignorant though can they.

Holy cannelloni,

Nic that truly sucks….I have never experienced such rudeness,
I have heard other people’s stories, and well I suppose my day is still coming.
Hope you can have a giggle at her expense down the track, there is an element of funniness in the experience….she sounds like a real ditz….so many people know so little (regarding normal social behaviour that is)

Like you say, there are some people who quite innocently make dopey comments then feel bad about it afterwards; then there are some people who go through life shooting their mouth off about anything and everything, impervious to the effects their comments may have. I bet she goes around annoying all sorts of people, sorry that you had to have the mis-fortune to cross her path though.
