Hmmm have an interesting story to tell today....
Was at the coffee shop eating dinner with parents just now... when I felt this irritating sensation in my right eye and nose. Immediately turned behind and stared a some man in his 60-70s who was sitting at an adjacent table and inconsiderately blowing smoke in our direction. It already ticks me off when total strangers don't care for their own health and hygiene, but happily try to infiltrate other people's lungs with tar.... but such an act near the parents was highly disrespectful.
So I stared.... not a "Oi, you wanna fight issit?" stare, but a polite "Hey that's annoying" stare. Yes yes, I always remember uncle's words to never abuse what we have learnt to go and look for a fight and bully other people... although I pity the poor foo who tries to pick something with me....
And, he soon stopped puffing our way. What a gentleman he was. Truly. And so the rest of the meal was undisturbed.
Later when we were leaving and walking out of the place the man got up and gestured to my mother for her attention as he approached her.
And I thought. "Wtf? Does this guy really want to die?"
But his tempo was not erratic nor violent, and as he approached he said "excuse me".
"huh?" I thought.
Apparantly he and his friend were making a bet as to what sport I was in... because he said I had a good build and broad chest and bet that I was in swimming.
"WTF?"
Why some old men got nothing better to do.....
I wonder what his friend bet.... anyway there goes his money.
