Totally and UTTERLY hacked off

[Thrasher]

Today, I took my two delightful children to the local Harvester for lunch. We were settled at a nice table, and the kids started colouring (nice place for kids). They were quiet.

I was sat with a pint, watching the world go by. We were in a nice area of the restaurant, and I was admiring the decor.

Enter 2 people.

Woman takes one look at us, and I can see her disgust at being seated near us. My hackles go up.

R'Vanneth and I start chatting about Galilieo (it's her current school project). The woman starts giving me deathlooks. I am now a bit confused.

The waitress, very polite girl, comes over to us, and comments on what well behaved chirldren I have. I am very happy.

Woman continues to glare at me.

Waitress goes over to the couple, there is some frantic whispering from the woman, some pointing, AT US, and the waitress looks over confused, shrugs, and then the couple are moved to another table.

It would appear that WE are not good enough to be sat close too....

We sat around, the kids had dessert, I had a beer, we watched the world go by, and we waited until they left....then we left. We followed them out, they got into their eurobox, and the woman was staring at some old clapped out car parked next to them, then at us, then at the car, which obviously offended her.

We walked straight past it, and I unlocked Owl.

I looked back over at her as the kids clambered into the back. I wish my camera on my phone was better - she was giving her hubby some serious grief and pointing at Owl.

So YAH BOO SUCKS to you, stuck up snob woman. DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER.

[beast5680]

[simdeb]

when we go out anywhere people can't help but stare having 4 boys with us makes me wonder what they think?  

i just smile and wave if needed then laugh when they go red! ha!ha!

too many children!
one even asked me what my children were like?

[Jim-Willy]

He, he, he.  You are one controlled geezer.  Someone strares at me I have an awful habit of asking them what the matter is.

[simdeb]

I looked back over at her as the kids clambered into the back. I wish my camera on my phone was better - she was giving her hubby some serious grief and pointing at Owl.

She probably thought you were pinching it!

Things like that really "annoy" me off as well I have tried really hard to bring my 2 children really well with values, respect etc.  and they are really well behaved (in public anyway).  There is nothing worse than going into a pub for a meal with the family and some arrogant "person"
has the gaul to judge ME and MY family when they dont have a clue who we are.  

That feels a bit better

Harvester how so very common  :lol:  :lol:

[Popeye]

When that happens to me I just look over wink then blow them a kiss ,makes me laugh and winds them up even more  :lol:

Although Jude still doesn't realise what I'm doing so I get ear ache from her saying "who are you blowing kisses at "  :?

[karloss]

Pah! You haven't lived 'till people start looking down their nose at you in Macdonalds! Fair do, I had spent all day banger racing and looked like a scarecrow, walked out and got in an old transit, complete with trailer and banger. Drove off with clouds of blue smoke and loud music. F*** 'em, bud, you are who/what you are, and that's that.

[Hightower]

I don't worry.  I'm usually worse behaved than the kids  

[simdeb]

so are we worse than the kids my mum tells us to behave!

life would be boring if we did as people who  know us know what we mean!

[Siecroz]

What I want to know is Why these Harvester type places usually only sell bloomin Fruit Shoots and Coke..

My son being the Hyperactive 3 year old from Hell.. when he drinks those the WHOLE pub starts staring ...

but you always get the nice elderly couple who come over and ask him whats the matter.. then he shows them his new vocabulary that he has picked up in Play school... getting the picture  :shock:

Ahh... a nice "Relaxing" meal ??!!?? :oops:

Still.. he's my boy, and I would never be without :-)

I feel sorryfor the husband/partner of this stuck up bitch. She clearly has a big chip on her shoulder about something (probably infertile). I wouldn't worry about it- clearly her problems are bigger than yours!

[landroverkeith]

sounds like she needs to grow up herself stuck up tart, also hate that kinda treatment when i go anywhere

[hingmy]

I don't worry.  I'm usually worse behaved than the kids  

now that is true

Don't worry about it neil - i routinely turn up at 5star hotels in muddy boots and couldn't give a fig - my custom is as good as the next persons and so is yours.

Reminds me of the time I went in the showroom to buy a new car.

It was a hot summers day, so I was in shorts and tee shirt, no watch.

I wanted a BMW 730 to replace my Merc, SWMBO also wanted to change her car to a 3 series. We hung around the cars for a good half hour, climbing in and out and giving them a good look over. All the time being totally ignored by the sales staff, some were sitting round chatting one was standing buy the door chatting to his mate.

Eventually we got fed up at the lack and walked out, as we walked past the salesman (still standing chatting at the door) SWMBO said in a rather loud voice as she does when gets annoyed. -

' Pity everyone ignored us - we would have spent upwards of £60K this afternoon on  two new cars'

The salesman glanced round and carried on chatting. - The he saw us get into my 12 month old E Class Merc and drive off

He tried to run after us out of the car park !!

needless to say we never went back there again.

<cough> I have the BBC coming over this morning

That will make them them nice and sick if they see it, they should have been collecting your autograph not complaining!

Aah!! that'll be because you're one of those "scruffy long haired antisocial types"!!

(probably infertile).

No need for that comment at all!! ONLY a man would consider saying that!!!
