nando's chicken with snot, anyone?

i had lunch just now with heidey at nando's parade (where the robbing/shooting happened *gasp* but hungry people need to be fed, right?) and sitting next to our table was a couple of women, an aunty and a siew che.

so we were waiting for our food to arrive, and the aunty had already gone halfway on her food. and then she did it.

*SNORT* (purging out whatever's been living in her nostrils).

heidey and i rolled our eyes at each other. ok never mind.

then our food arrived and we dug in and didn't even speak to each other for a good 10 mins. and then she did it again.

*SNORRRRRT*

i looked at the aunty and said "excuse me, we're eating" quite nicely and calmly i might add, no anger intoned whatsoever.

she looked at me bewilderedly, like how-dare-u kind of way. and i continued eating my yummy lemon & herbs chicken happily, while feeling the glares of the two ogres next to us. i pretended they didn't exist.

out of geram-ness i suppose, the aunty was trying to make her presence felt by not snorting anymore but coughing up imaginary phlegm in her throat, as if a rat was stuck in there. i still kept my serene eating look and continued smiling at my plate of grilled chicken, chips + slaw, all the while noticing that they were talking in chinese about me. then, their bill came and they paid.

when the aunty and the siew che walked past our table to leave (cos that's the only way out) she whispered "shit" so i calmly said "shit u back". a coupla steps away she said "shit" again then i calmly again said, a bit louder for her to hear me correctly "shit u back". but all the while i was smiling doing it.

it was so stupid, it didn't even infuriate me haha :) heidey said her "shit" sounded like she sneezed, it was almost cute bwahahaha!

but anyway, siapa yang salah, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan?

was it wrong for me to say 'excuse me' to her and stop her from gagging on our food with her nose snorting?

aunty, kalau nak hembus hingus, pegilah makan kat kedai kopi tepi jalan yang i know u love and frequent so much. boleh lah kau duduk dengan satu kaki atas kerusi and korek hidung kan? kat sana sure takde orang akan cakap "excuse me" to u hahahaaa!

go back to your kampung la and don't eat nando's chicken anymore. huhuuu :D
