I was adding an extra sugar to my coffee. At the table next to me was a woman and her two cute children - a girl of maybe four, and a boy of about two - who were getting up to leave. I heard the little girl ask her mother twice to throw out the trash they were leaving on the table. To my horror, the woman’s response was “No! That’s why I have a cleaning lady at home!”
WTF?!?! Go to hell, bitch, before you can make your pretty little daughter just like you.
Oh, man, that’s just the kind of shit that will bug me all day long. Sorry it happened to you first thing in the morning.
So she was going to have her cleaning lady drive down to the donut shop a little later? Weird.
Reminds me of a time when I was at a laundromat. A couple of kids were playing with the change machine, preventing me from using it. Their mother scolded them for it, saying “Get away from there! Some people need to use this machine! You’re very rude!” Her kids moved out of the way, then the woman cut in front of me to make change.
That doesn’t even make sense. Maybe she was on the verge of a housecleaning-induced nervous breakdown?
LOL
Sure, except my response at the time was a bit more “WTF.”
I got a new puppy yesterday. My daughters back teeth are coming in, I wasn’t able to get to bed until 5:30, fell asleep some time after 6. Woke up at 7 to baby and puppy. I work until Midnight tonight.
I wish I was the woman at Dunkin’ Donuts. I tell ya what, you support my habit and I promise to be the nicest, cleanest person there.
Does her cleaning lady deliver?
‘Sense of Entitlement’ strikes again.
People suck.
You should have told the person next to her “I could be your Heinamackafrau.” and seen what happened.
:eek: the horror.
I would have told the little girl “sweet heart, you still have a lot to do teaching some manners to your mother. Keep at it.”
Another WTF moment: My SO was at the grocery store one day and overheard a woman ranting and raving about rude people, how there were SO many these days and how things had just gone to hell. He turned around to see her going through the bagels, and touching everyone with her hands, looking for the best ones. :smack:
(If it had been me I probably would have made at the very least a sarcastic comment. He’s very reserved, though.)
I don’t get it. 
What did she say wrong exactly?
The cleaning lady is at home, not out having coffee with them.
They were at the cafe, and weren’t going to throw their trash away on the way out.
When I was going to the grocery store the other day a guy was leaving with a grocery cart that had one of those small plastic grocery baskets on the bottom as well. It fell off in the middle of the parking lot and he just let it sit there and kept pushing his cart. Asshole!
Well, I figured the cleaning lady wasn’t with them. But what are you saying, that it’s a place where you have to bus your own table?
ETA
:smack:
Oh shit. A donut shop. Sorry. Still, maybe she was just joking. A bit sharp-witted perhaps.
I took her statement to mean, “Are you kidding? I never clean up after myself; that’s why we have a cleaning lady at home.”
I definitely need to come down to the South if you guys have got doughnut shops with waiters.
Now that’s the high life.
I don’t think you have to bus your own table at any of these types of places, beit McDonald’s or Dunkin Donuts, or Krispy Kreme, or whatever, but if my (hypothetical) four year old daughter asked me to clean my trash, I would set a positive example for her and clean my table, and certainly not say something as ridiculous in the OP.
I think you’re expected to bus your own table at those sorts of places. I always do. More important, though, is teaching your children that they have to clean up after themselves.
That mother is going to reap what she’s sown when those kids are teenagers.
