This isn't really witnessed, but was told to me by my mother. It happened last Monday. I wasn't there, as I had to work. Let me start this off by telling you a little bit about my mum.
My mum is a wonderful, wonderful woman, who has been battling depression and PTSD for over 17 years. She has to take a lot of medication for this, and also high blood pressure tablets due to stress. At the moment, she's going through a rough time again, due to a bad break-up with her ex, and unfortunately, with an episode of depression this bad, it's also impacting her physical health as well. She gets dizzy a lot, and that's just one of the symptoms.
Anyway, on Monday, she went up to the bar to order the food. As she was standing there, she began to feel anxious, and on-edge, which in turn, gave her a dizzy spell. She lost her footing and fell into a woman standing next to her. My mum apologised immediately but the woman went absolutely ballistic.
Rude lady: EXCUSE ME!!! That was so RUDE! How DARE you!!!
My mum apologised again but the woman just threw it back in my mum's face saying that she was rude and that my mum had hurt her when she barged into her.
My mum told her that she didn't do it on purpose and that she was sorry but the lady was having none of it. Then her husband butted in and said this:
"Well you should watch where you fucking go you stupid old cow!!!"
The barmaid behind the bar took my mum's side and started defending her. This really put their noses out of joint and they gave my mum one last look and then the man said, "Come on, let's go before we get any more aggro from these bitches! Place is a dump anyway!"
Eventually, they walked off, leaving my mum stood at the bar crying her eyes out.
My mum kept all of this to herself till yesterday. She'd managed to wipe her tears and compose herself before she got back to the table. But my brother and I got it out of her because we knew that something was bothering her. She's been really ill the past week, and now we know why.
I hope they're fucking happy with themselves. My mum has had a week from HELL thanks to them, just because they couldn't help being nasty to a complete stranger. The two of you can ROT for all I care.
