Classic Stomp Moment...

Dear All

After fetching Felicia to school for librarian duty last Friday, I went to McDonald's at TM for breakfast. I was lucky that day to find it relatively empty, and zoomed in on the corner seat with high-back sofas/benches. There were no one sitting on the row of tables next to me on my right and the table in front of me, left side (I was sitting at a corner, so no left side) was empty too. It's let a L shape and I was sitting at the corner of the L.

I was settling to enjoy my muffin and coffee when a shabby looking man came to sit on the vertical side of the "L". He had only a cup of black coffee and 4 satchets of sugar. I kind of pity him at first. He used his teeth to rip off his satchets and that was when I noticed he had only 1 arm...his right. Then he did the unspeakable....he used his only hand to scratch his head!! It was then I also noticed he had long dirty finger nails. The next classic moment was, he started to clean his nails by flicking his dirt from under his fingernails using his thumb nails!! Oh my....I drew my cup of coffee which had it's lid off closer to me, and kept my muffin safely guarded by its wrappers close to my mouth ALL THE TIME!!

I then thought of moving horizontally but it was too obvious. I don't dare irk him...he looks capable of showering vulgaries at people.

Next, a family of mother, grandma and 2 little boys came and sat on my right. The mum and her 2 boys then went off to buy their breakfast. The grandma then took out a tiny little coin purse from her bag. She was just sitting next to me. She opened my purse and guess what? She took out a nail clipper and started to CLIP HER NAILS!! Oh boy!!!

Here was I, looking forward to enjoying a leisurely breakfast, was now cornered (literally) on both sides by such inconsiderate people! Don't they know I am eating????

Bert said this was a real Stomp moment!! Yeah, sure....lucky I didn't have diarroeah...and you know what he's rebut was...."Maybe you have some tapeworm or something residing inside you now". Yuck! That's definitely no consolation!! You can guess, I quickly gobbled down my chow and got out as quick as possible ;(

Love Theresa
