Reading an old post from customersruinmylife about a bride showing up to the pub unannounced in some way reminded me of this gem from my second job ever. (probably because both ladies were in white)
Second job ever was at a local pizza resteraunt (Detroit area, rhymes with Muddy's) and I was a host/busser/takeout bitch. It was late spring/early summer and alot of high schools were having their Senior Proms. We didn't see too many of those parties but tonight we had two in the restaraunt. One group was sitting behind the host area in the smoking section (remember those? ) and it was clear that the boys of the group had secreted a few flasks in and were getting drunk. I probably should have said something, but I was 16 and they were the cool older kids.
So this one girl is in this beautiful (and expensive looking) white prom dress, and her boyfriend is easily the most sloshed one there. Their pizzas have just arrived and everyone is about to dig in when one of the other boys tells a joke of some kind. Drunk boyfriend belts out a laugh, slams his hands down on the table while doing so and up ends an entire pizza onto his date's chest and lap
It was almost surreal, everyone who saw it just went wide eyes and
and then came the scream.
It was a blood curlding, angst driven, horrified like you just watched someone kill a baby scream. This girl blew the lids off everyone in the restaraunt. She immediatly burst into tears and flew off into the restroom, every other girl at the table following her. All the guys just watched them go with these looks that just said "wuh wuh wuh wuh, what happened????" And boys being boys they also immediatly turned and starting laughing at their friend, who still looked like he didn't realize quite how much damage he had done yet. After awhile the boys just said screw it and starting eating the pizza!
Eventually the girls came back out, the girl in the white dress still sniffling and crying. They walked right past all the boys, out the door, into the limo and AWAY THEY WENT!! Boys really didn't act that surprised oddly enough. In the end they ate their food, paid their bill, and were last seen walking in the direction of the high school (maybe two to three miles away, not too awful of a walk)
