Well, this weekend has been pretty eventful for me for SC sightings. I had the self-serve-cigarette idiot at Walgreens yesterday and now this:
I decide to walk across the street to the KFC/Taco Hell combo to grab a soft taco that will (unfortunately) have to suffice as my dinner tonight.
The cast:
Me - Hi!
ML - man in line
C - cashier
OM - old man
RB - Random bystanders
CM - Crazy Mary
I place my order and go to fill my diet pepsi while waiting. A few other people are standing around, waiting for their food also. ML is in line getting ready to place his order, but is still looking at the board. OM has made his way to the counter to ask for some extra sauce or condiments.
I see a fairly normal looking woman in a heavy coat make her way from the back part of the seating area of the store. There's a second entrance back there. She's muttering to herself quietly, so I pay her no mind as this is fairly common in this part of town.
All of a sudden:
CM - "I'm tired of this fucking shit. Get your fucking ass out of the way! Your fucking ass is ALWAYS in my fucking way!"
We all glance at each other curiously, wondering who she's speaking to. The OM calmly takes his sauce, moves aside and retreats. I figure maybe she's with him.
No such luck.
She then walks up behind ML who is now about to start his order and starts cussing him.
CM - "Why are you always in my fucking way? Get out of my GD way, now!!".
ML - Looks at her, looked back at me (I shrugged) and moved out of her way. He stepped back toward me. He said "Uh, I'm gonna just be nice because there's obviously something wrong."
Me - "Ya think?", then we both quietly chuckle.
CM - "What the fuck are you assholes laughing at?", she says while turning around to glare at us.
Me/ML/RB -
Side note: Anyone who knows me would be surprised that I didn't react or speak up. But (probably fortunately), I was too shocked.
C - "Mary, you know you're not allowed in here. Am I gonna have to call the police again?"
Needless to say, this releases a veritable TORRENT of cussing, arm flailing and stomping of feet.
C - "Out! Now!"
Surprisingly, she goes quietly.
We all just kinda glance around at one another with
looks on our faces.
ML - (to me) "I thought she was with you at first."
RB - "I think everyone kinda thought she was with someone else."
Then we all kind of nervously chuckle and continue to wait.
C - "Is she still in the parking lot?" (since, from her vantage point, she can't see where she went.)
Me - "Uh, yeah. She's out there cussing at some lady in a minivan. What's wrong with her, anyway?"
C - "I don't know. She's been banned from every restaurant around here. I think she's mental."
At this point, I get my food and proceed to the exit. I have to walk around the building to get to the other side and cross the street back to my office. She's out there in the side lot at this point, and has picked on another car to harass. Woman in this car had a look on her face as she was attempting to back her car up.
In hindsight, it probably would have been best if the cops had been called. It was funny at the time, but clearly the woman needs some help, poor thing..
