Changes...

A few weeks ago I gave up cursing, and as hard as I thought that might've been, because it's usually a slip of the tongue, it's been easier than expected. Of course, when I almost slip up, I usually substitute the actual word for something that sounds really dorky, like f'ing or stupid butt. LOL, I'm such a loser...but anyways, I was surprised at myself that after being called a "stupid black woman" that I didn't have the urge to curse out this ignorant lady like she deserved. I was at the nail shop yesterday, doing the usual pampering, when this lady came in with crutches. You really couldn't tell what was wrong with her, except that she walked with only one foot, hence the crutches. She asked for an overlay and a pedicure. The Asian lady who was running the shop at the time asked if she would be able to get in and out of the chair, and if she would be able to move her feet like so because all women know, the massage chairs sit high, and you have to continuously put your feet in and out of the water. This lady already had an attitude, you could tell because she snapped at her husband and her son when she walked in the door for something minor it seemed. The conversation went something like this...

Ignorant Lady-Should I take my business some place else?(threatning tone)
Asian Lady-It's up to you, we don't want to you to hurt yourself anymore than you already are...
Ignorant Lady-Why would you try to hurt me?
Asian Lady-We wouldn't try to hurt you, I'm just asking because the chair is high and I'm looking out for your well being
Ignorant Lady-Well, I'll just go somewhere else
Asian Lady-ok

The ignorant lady decides to walk away, but not before muttering something about she was okay to get a pedicure and it really up to her to decide her "well being". Well,you would think that would be the end of that. 5 minutes later the husband comes back in and askes for a business card. The Asian lady tells him they're out, but he can come back tomorrow for one if he liked. Then he walks outside, takes down the number of the shop, walks away. Another 5 minutes pass and the ignorant lady comes back in. That conversation went something like this...

Ignorant Lady- My husband asked you for a business card, give me your business card
Asian Lady- We don't have anymore at the moment
Ignorant Lady- Whatever. Do you normally turn away disabled customers, because that's discrimination. I just talked to my lawyer, and he said to get a business card from you.
Asian Lady- Like I said before, we don't have any
Ignorant Lady- This is discrimination. Y'all need to go back to your own country

A bunch of stuff was yelled in Vietnamese, apparently she offended them. They threatened to call the cops, then she threatened to call the cops, a few curse words were exchanged, and she still made no attempt to leave, despite the fact they asked her about 10 times to get out.
Ignorant Lady-Y'all are wrong, ask anyone in here.
Me-No they aren't.

It got quiet. Uh-oh, it's about to be a girlfight...

Ignorant Lady-Tell me why they ain't wrong
Me-They didn't turn you away, you chose to go somewhere else.
Ignorant Lady-What high school did you graduate from because you don't have any common sense, you're a stupid black woman
Me-(I laugh) Oh okay
Ignorant Lady- (said something that I couldn't understand)
Me-(laughs again)I'm the stupid one? You're the one calling your lawyer because you can't get in a chair. You're probably the type of person who looks for ways to sue other people with fake injuries, take your ignorant black behind some place else where they tolerate stupidity.
Ignorant Lady- I hope this injury comes back on your family.
Me- (I laugh again) Have a blessed day

You would have thought that was the end of it. Nope. The husband comes back in a second time and tells the Asains his wife is making a formal complaint against the shop. Everyone just laughed at him. It was really pathetic. This lady was serious. My sister told me after we left the shop that she had stopped her iPOD just to listen to the conversation, and she was about to jump in too because I was the only one to speak up...as usual. I wasn't even mad at the lady, I mean, she was funny to me. This lady was really dumb in a pathetic way. I hope she did have a blessed day tho, she needed Jesus.
