PUBE-ING AT THE LOBSTER

Today has been a crazy day thus far. I recorded my jazz show and was invited to lunch by my friend, Tara. She knows that when she mentions "The Lobster," ....it's on! So, I snuck away from work to meet her for lunch. We order our food. Since I'm dieting and trying to take on a healthier perception of what I deem, 'delicious,' I ordered the broiled flounder and steamed veggies (I love seafood). So we're just chit-chatting, catching up and all, when my food comes. Halfway into lunch, I noticed a small hair. It was short, black and curly, and ya'll know what I was thinking, right? PUBES!!!! I tried not to, as they say "be ghetto" and go off. I was civilized, sophisticated and proper. I asked the waitress to take it away. She asked, "Why?" I showed her the "PUBE." She said, "Uh, that's not a hair. That's a fish vein." I looked at it again, this chick actually had me second guessing myself and I started to think that maybe, just maybe, (like the ghetto boys) my mind was playing tricks on me. My friend Tara said,"Let me see!" So, after her analysis of my plate, she confirmed that," YES, THIS IS A PUBE!" The manager comes, apologizes and takes the plate away promising a fresh new dish. So, Tara eats and I wait. As I watched her eat, I started to freak out inside. I always order this dish and I love tatar sauce. Usually, I ask for extra tartar sauce and I spread it on till it looks as if I am having fish with my tartar sauce instead of the other way around. Anywaz,...I was thinking,"what if i had gotten it like i always did? i never would have even seen the PUBE. EEEKK! I WOULD HAVE EATEN A PUBE! .......then of course I lost my appetite, which was the exact time the waitress sat my hot and freshly cooked PUBE replacement meal in front of me. Me? GRREEAATT!! Just FREAKING GREAT!

betcha think that was it, hunh? NOPE!

The waitress comes to the table to give me a bill. I look at the bill and again, I had to muffle the inner ghetto-princess. I said,"Excuse me. This bill is wrong." The waitress said,"Oh, no it isn't. We took of your diet coke because of the "HAIR" mishap." Now, I'm pissed. So I said, first off....I am not one of those people that will come in a restaurant, complain and show their ass to get free food. I HAD A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT. Secondly, A free diet coke for the exchange of an entree with a PUBE? (in sheer amazement) COME ON NOW! Any other place would have at AT LEAST given you a freakin' desert or a coupon for free food the next visit. Lastly, YOU OVERCHARGED ME FOR THE PUBED ENTREE!!! (they charged me for the dinner portion when i had the lunch portion, a $4.oo difference)


So, now I am hungry and pissed. Ain't that a bitch!

one of the suprisingly many occasions when ghetto is not only called for, but absolutely NECESSARY.

if that was any member of my family, both meals would have been free and the waitress would have a very stern "talking to" to look forward to at then end of her shift! hmph!

Jdid said...

Meka said...

That's nasty. I would have freaked out too. Although I try not to send my food back cause I always think that it pisses them off and they are going to spit in it. :(

Mary said...

I try not to but weird stuff in my food will make me lose my appetite every time.

And I can't stand to be argued you with - I said its a pube please don't tell me its a damn vein!

What happened to the customer is always right?

I see Larry comes from a fam like mine - my mama taught me that if you are not satisfied - TAKE THAT SHIT BACK!! And in this case, where it was something that was OBVIOUSLY wrong, everything woulda been free!! I'm talking yo' meal, yo' friends meal and 3 or fo' meals after that!! (See, how I had to slip into the dialect for that? A little ghetto-ness is sometimes the most effective option.)
