I offended someone today!

Posted on August 13, 2015 By admin

We went to a nature park today. As part of the tour, you could take a tractor tour where you sit on hay bales and drive from one part of the nature reserve to another. Katy and I were the last people to get on the trailer and we were looking for seats. I’d just started to sit down when this old guy, sitting across from me, says to his family “we’re getting off! Now! I can’t spend the trip (about 10 minutes) looking at that t-shirt.” Then he turns to me and says, “for God’s sake, there are children here. Grow up!”

People were looking a bit bemused by all of this. When we got out after the ride, one family came up to us to see what all the fuss had been about. After telling the story, they laughed and thanked us because him leaving had freed up some space to allow them to come on.

I don’t know why the man had such a big stick wedged so far up his ass. Katy thinks he’s a repressed vegan who strenuously objected to the mention of sausage rolls. In any case, I’m actually tickled pink to have offended someone to that extent, just by being me. Sort of a personal best :D

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
