Accusations of Bestiality outside Bobby Vans

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

I had lunch outside of Bobby Vans a few weeks ago. Was told that I needed to tie my dog at a near by bench because dogs were not allowed under the table. No problem, I understood.

So I tied my little poodle/bichon on a bench about 2 feet away so I could be close to her. A man went to sit on the bench, shoved my tiny poodle aside so she wouldn’t be close to him. After I told him he had nerve shoving a small dog he proceeded to say she was trying to sniff his crotch (which wasn’t true). Anyway I brought attention to what a jerk he was. If my husband were there I doubt he would have pulled that stunt.

Pretend Deaf Customer Service In WHB

Monday, January 17th, 2011

Going into Beach Bakery in Westhampton Beach this Saturday, I didn’t expect to find any rude people, since it is the beginning of November and the summer people are long gone–boy, was I wrong!

I go to the self-serve coffee area to make myself and my collegue a cup of coffee. I notice the both the half-and-half and non-fat milk containers are empty. The girl at the register is busy ringing someone up, so I look for other assistance. There is another girl behind the counter; looks like she was cleaning something up behind the counter.

“Excuse me”, I say meekly. No answer. “Um, I’m sorry…excuse me”, I say again. Again, no answer. I try a bit louder: “Excuse me…I’m sorry…do you have more milk?”

She does not answer, but this time, she looks in my direction and continues doing whatever it is she is doing back there. One more time…”Uh..excuse me? You’re out of non-fat and half-and-half….”, again, NOTHING! Finally, I look her staight in the eye, and say, “Can you hear me?” I swear to God for a moment there, I thought maybe she was deaf!

She finally answers snidley, “Yeah, I can hear you fine, I’m just busy!”, and proceeds to WALK AWAY.

I left my coffee on the counter and walked out the door.

Tossing Salad at the Lobster Roll

Monday, October 18th, 2010

My brother works at the Lobster Roll north side, and he gets all of the winners.

There was a family who was (I’m assuming) from the Hamptons or city. They were very loud, very rude and thought they were Gods gift to this world.

This woman (the mother) orders a ceaser salad. Ok easy. My brother brings it out for her with the dressing on the side in a cup like she asked for. She starts to flip out because the salad dressing is not mixed throughout the salad so she sends it back.

Another salad comes out with the dressing mixed in and she flips out again because “there was more dressing on the salad then was in the cup.”

So my brother gets a new undressed salad beings the dressing over, she pours her desired amount on and then makes my brother toss the salad till it was perfect.

After they left he found out they stiffed him.

A$$holes.

Horses’ Asses Among The Guests At The Hampton Classic

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

So my husband and I decided to take a trip out to the Hampton Classic on Saturday so that our son can take part in the Kid’s Day activities.

We knew going in that there would be snooty people, elitists, and citiots, but we wanted to check it out and at least put the experience of going under our belt.

I think next year there should be a etiquette seminar for those in the aforementioned categories.

Of course, the most efficient means to get from point A to point B is a straight line, however, if such a route is blocked by a perpendicular line (points C and D) of people waiting at a food kiosk, the common sense approach would be to say “excuse me” when you opt to take advantage of the 2 foot break between person 5 and person 6 who are standing on the point C and point D line.

After about the 5th non-gracious offender anytime a person attempted to bust their way through, I put my foot in the way.
