I belong to a group of Red Hat Ladies. I am a Pink Hatter, as I am too young 4 a Red Hat. Anyway, there is a nice restaurant owned by a Culinary Institute Graduate that is classy & lovely & we frequent it every few months. There we are, dressed like Ladies w/ fancy hats, w/ royal names & I even wore a pair of pretty lavender lace gloves!
This one old broad comes in late & yaks about drs, injections, pills, her diet (as she scarfs up 1/2 the menu & the chair creaks under her almost 400 lb frame) & her foot & how her soft cast was too tight & cut off the circulation in her foot. Talks about fallling down drunx, people in mental institutes, rapes, bla bla bla. I kept trying to change the subject. My stomach turned.
I emailed the Queen of the Chapter afterwards & she wants to issue a Ladies Conversation Etiquette Booklet at the next meeting. If thinbgs don't improve, the other woman (Gobbula) will be excluded.
I know I am being B*TCHY, but.. I dressed up & paid good $$ to be at a classy place, as well as the other ladies & it got ruined by crass dialogue! baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

Re: gross dialogue during a meal in a fancy restaurant
Wed, November 29, 2006 - 5:33 AMSpeak up, darling! Let the old goat know, in the nicest possible way, that she is out of line. " During this meal, we practice the art of pleasent conversation." If that doesn't work, move to another table.

Thu, November 30, 2006 - 12:41 PMYou're there to have fun, not to listen to all that. You're probably not the only one that thinks the same thing, so be the one brave enough to stand up for what needs to happen. -

Re: gross dialogue during a meal in a fancy restaurant
Mon, December 4, 2006 - 2:08 AMI gently brought up to her (because she is a good person) that all of us in that group have to be careful of what we say at lunch, etc. I brought up my negative points, & mentioned about someone else complaining about something & but said nothing to her. So it was an indirect way (I hope) of telling her she needs to censor her dialog at this function.
