I was out this catching up with an old friend over coffee, when this Wagged up to the nines teenager walked in to the coffee shop and openly sneered at our middle-aged selves.

Shock

The caah. Doesn't she know we were 18ish once? Wink

Well, hold your stomachs now, she nipped passed us to the loo, and when she walked back towards her table, I noticed that one of the ties on the back of her top had obviously dangled somewhere while she was abluting, and it was not canary yellow anymore, oh no it wasn't.

So AIBU to be feeling a teeny bit happy that retribution was passed?

Possibly. Maybe I was thinking of "wazzed". Could mean anything. But I normally pity drunk people covered in bodily fluids.

Chaos! Come back! We need to know what was on the top! Obviously not pee, because it would still be a yellow top.

I like the typo "vengefuk". It says so much more somehow than vengeful.

I'm back.

Notsofarking Smartphone ran out of power.

Shit happens, eh?

Wink.

Wagged up to the nines is an expression to describe a overly plastic fembot whose only aspiration in life is the marry a footballer. She looked just like one of those.

She looked at me from head to toe, slowly and sneerily, in a superior manner, obviously classing me as dirt on her shoe.

So when she did emerge from the loo with brownness on one of the ties to her top, I did feel a little bit "What goes around comes around".

Sorry, hairy, if I got muddled up about the proper usage of karma. It's certainly worth a bit of investigation into the real meaning. Smile

I didn't wish for vengeance on her, as that is not my style, but it did raise a small smile to my lips when I saw the suliying of her clothes.

Humiliation? Meh. She probably wouldn't even be aware of it as she swaggered round town, and probably just drops her clothes on the floor for some sucker to pick up and wash, so she may never know about it. (big assumptions, I know)

You should have alerted her to the 'chocolate' on her top and told her to lick it off.

TheAtomicBroomstick · 15/07/2011 17:07

/\ Hysterically laughs at this idea Grin

TheAtomicBroomstick · 15/07/2011 17:08

OK, so how did she get some turd on her?

MissKittyEliza · 15/07/2011 17:28

Love it. Like what you say about the young and beautiful sneering.....we too were once young and couldn't walk down a street without folks gawping. My own sister was the kind of young girl who turned heads everywhere she went and was oblivious to it. And, she didn't have to try nearly so hard as they do nowGrin

Ageing ..... Comes to us all, if we're lucky!

I have no idea Atomic.

One of the ties had become untied and was dangling, the other was still in a loop iyswim?

I didn't perform a complete analysis.

I think I'd have taken her quietly to one side and pointed out that she appeared to have shit on her shirt. That way, you get the benefit of seeing her lose her smugness, but at the same time spare her from walking around with a dunked tie all night. Result all round!

thederkinsdame · 15/07/2011 22:06

Oooh, no, karma, I do believe that the correct thing to do would be to follow at a reasonable distance, sniggering first. THEN tell her Grin

For a person to have good karma, they must wish for good for , and mean it in their heart. The longer you practice compassion, the more natural and easier it becomes. People like her who must be shallow and rude as well, must not be that happy. When I am happy I don't have an urge to belittle anyone!

superv1xen · 16/07/2011 09:19

god does this really happen? Shock

i mean, teenagers "sneering" at older people? why?

yoshilunk · 16/07/2011 10:55

Supervixen you are about twelve. That is why teenagers don't sneer at you.

Chaos my angel. If anyone sneers at us when we go for coffee I will lay the smackdown, no messing. I will go postal.

LostMyIdentityAlongTheWay · 16/07/2011 20:19

well, if it had been me, I'd have stood up, wobbled around uncertainly (making sure that all eyes were on me...) and shouted 'OH MY GOD, IS THAT SHIT ON YOUR TOP??? HOW DID IT GET THERE?

Closely followed by 'OH MY GOD, PLEASE TELL US YOU WASHED YOUR HANDS AFTER YOU SHAT ON YOUR CLOTHING, OTHERWISE YOU COULD BE SPREADING YOUR SHITTY GERMS EVERYWHERE'.

Yes.. Upon sober reflection, I think I really would have done that.

I'd have looked her up and down and said 'when you looked at me like shit on your shoe it appears you got some on your top'.

When I think of the girl sashaying out, avec shitty top, I keep thinking of Keith Lemon saying "shit-ting-!"

AmazingBouncingFerret · 16/07/2011 20:55

I'm thinking that she didnt give you dirty look sat all. She was just rather constipated and it showed in her facial expression.
She went the loo.
She managed to go.
And the sashay in her walk was relief because she was no longer bunged up!

Grin

Still doesnt explain how the fuck she got shit on her top though, maybe they had ran out of bog roll?
