Ugh

So, nebsllim and I went to partake of some Chinese yumminess.

Things were fine until, in the middle of our conversation I hear, "Excuse me, sir! Hey! You!" I turn around, thinking I'd be witness to something interesting.

"Do you read Spanish? Sir, can you translate this fortune for me? The numbers are in English, but the fortune is in Spanish."

So, I read this woman's fortune, something about following a path with solid roots or some jive. But, WTF? She was really kind of rude, interrupting the way she did. I should've made something up about ignorance and manners, but I didn't. The numbers are in English (and they were numerals, not the words for the numbers)? Huh?

Sigh.

You should have said, "Rudeness leads to a painful, untimely death. Your numbers this month are 666."

Oh, how I wish I'd thought of something witty.

I failed miserably at that moment in time.

People are jerks, especially ones that get fortunes with english numbers but spanish fortunes!!!

I guess at least she didn't ask if I could read "Spanni" or "Espanol" (without the correct pronounciation).

at least she called you 'sir'... still, it would of been good to sneak in something along the lines of 'the only good that will come to you will be in direct relation to the good you do for others'. the charities would of been grateful :)

This is true, she did say sir, even if she was insulting and ignorant.
