People, WTF????

Today, I did something I haven't done in quite a while. I went out for a meal and ate in the restaurant - which wasn't crowded and there was plenty of space between the tables. As I'm waiting for my lunch to arrive, a woman walks past - well dressed, except for the piece of toilet paper clinging to the bottom of her shoe.
I pull up my mask, stop her, and whisper that she's got a bit of a problem. She doesn't seem to understand and I repeat myself, point to her shoe and she still seems puzzled. I point again, and she finally spots the long strand of TP clinging to the sole of her high heeled boots.
She picks it off, and in thanks, she drops it on my table!
WHAT THE EVER-LOVING FUCK?!?!?!?!
I tell her my table isn't a garbage can and to take that with her. She sniffs, but takes it and goes back to her seat.
So much for being a Good Sam.
At least the busboy saw what happened and rushed over to clean the table and give me fresh utensils and napkin (not even necessary).

Sigh...

Date: 2022-01-22 07:56 pm (UTC)I still can't even wrap my head around it. My innate horror at creating a scene and my shock at her disgusting behavior just had me frozen. I really should have done something less polite, but I know the owners of the restaurant - they are, if not friends, people I care about, and they just reopened after extensive renovations and I didn't want to bring bad karma into such a happy moment.
