This story was told to me by an ex-co-worker who still works in hell...sorry, the pub!
She was working on the bar, when a mother walked up to her, carrying a piece of paper.
M: My son drew this while we were eating!
She handed ECW the sheet of paper, which was a very nice drawing of the beach, the sun, the sand and people having fun.
ECW: Aw, that's really nice. He's a very talented artist.
M: Yes he is. Maybe you could hang it on your wall?
ECW: That's actually a really good idea. I think I will.
ECW really liked the idea. She had thoughts of perhaps introducing some kind of art contest for charity, and maybe buying a set of colours for kids who came into the pub for dinner. ECW got some blutak, and went to stick it on the wall.
M: Uhhh...what are you doing?
ECW: I'm putting it on the wall.
M: No, I said HANG it on the wall. Don't just stick it on like that! Put it in a frame or something!
ECW: I don't have any frames.
M: Why not?!?!!
ECW: Because we're a pub...not a gallery.
M: Right, hand me back the drawing, this instant!
ECW handed it back
M tore the picture into pieces.
M: There! Now neither of us are getting it!
ECW stood there, stunned, not knowing what to do, as M gathered her family and stormed out. ECW has decided against holding her art contests, due to the amount of crazy people about.
