Revenge Butterscotch Style
September 16th 2010 21:00
Anyone who knows me knows I have issues with dealing with people – especially rude ones. My sister is just as bad. While I like to yell, she will express her anger by being ice cold and making sarcastic comments. Often a filthy look from her will be enough to get the other party to back off.
A few weeks ago we were having coffee at a café in the city. Her boyfriend was shouting but I declined on the grounds I didn’t want anything and I’m so glad I did after what happened next.
After we had been there for fifteen minutes, a waitress asked us to change tables as a large group of people were coming. My sister’s boyfriend told them we were leaving anyway. He then went to pay the bill.
A few minutes later another waitress came over and asked if she could take my sister’s boyfriend’s coffee. My sister asked her to give him a moment to come back and finish it off. The waitress then started raising her voice at my sister, saying “I wasn’t asking you to leave. I was asking if I could take the coffee.”
My sister gave her a filthy look.
“There’s no need to be rude,” I said as she walked off but the surly waitress didn’t hear me. My sister’s boyfriend then came back.
Next thing I knew, we were standing at the entrance, yelling and screaming like those people you see going off their heads on Airways. My sister yelled out something like, “The service is so rude,” while I added, “Yeah, the service sucks.” I also grabbed our coffee cups and spilt coffee all over the table before storming out. I also flipped the bird at the café staff.
A security guard came running. I thought, you come near me and I’ll sic my lawyer on you. He didn’t.
In the meantime, my sister told her boyfriend what had happened and he went inside to speak to the manager who apologised and offered a refund.
While I am not proud of losing my temper, I was provoked and if I was a cat I would have bitten her. I have no doubt Butterscotch would have done the same.
