Topic: When people start staring.
So I was out for dinner today, and we enter this asian restaurant (don't worry, I'm asian too so I kind of know about the thing I'm about to comment on). Right, so my mom, my sister and I choose to sit in a four seater table in the corner. Me being the freaky child I am (my mom told me this) I just take a sweep across the room to look at the people who will be sharing dinner with me. Not literally of course. So I begin my little sweep in this Shanghainese restaurant and next thing I know, I'm locking eyes with this woman who's staring unabashedly at my table at my fellow diners. Now I don't know about you, but when people stare at me in a restaurant, it's usually either I have food on my face or I'm doing something very weird. And because I hadn't begun to order let alone eat, the first was ruled out. Though I was pretty sure I wasn't doing anything embarrassing either, hands on the table -check- and legs folded -check- so why the heck was this woman staring at us?
Now about this woman, I begin to wonder if she's just one of those nosey people who like to degrade other people to make herself feel good. So I accept that and move on, thinking that she has finished with her little sniveling stare (yes I don't like it when people give me 'the look'). Though next thing I know, when I glance back at her table her whole family is staring at us this time. Including their son, who has deliberately turned around to stare. This time, I get a bit angry and begin to hiss under my breath to my sister about this dilemma. So my table ends up staging a glaring war with the other table (such childish fighting now that I think about it).
It's my sister and I (my mom decided to ignore us) vs. the woman and her friend/mother? (this person I couldn't identify). Though this was the case, the woman was an extremely deftly player, as she was always able to 'dodge' my obvious glares. Hmm, though compared to my family, I've always been told I take the cake for freakiness and general gloominess.
Anyways, I'm not very happy with this blog, it sounds very childish but I needed to regurgitate it somewhere right? And if you know how some asian people are like, you'll understand this story better.
PS. Everyone's a snob at least once in their life right? I know I've been snobbish in my life. Acceptance is the key!
