Since it's nearly new year I decided to spend the last two days of 2016 eating and went heading off to the village chip shop for a great greasy kebab. I know they are gross.
However seriously - I had a really uncomfortable exchange!
I went in and asked really nicely for a kebab and the lady serving went duly trotting off for me. Another younger woman was there serving and said 'oh we don't have any kebab meat' I was confused, as the other woman had already asked me if I wanted salad no just cover it in mayo and chilli sauce so hesitated and she then said 'only joking (
) but do you not want chips?' I politely smiled and said no, that was ok. Then the following conversation happened.
Her - go on, have chips
Me - oh honestly it's fine thanks
Her - you can't come in a chip shop and not have chips
Me - it's fine honestly
Her - there's a little old lady peeling potatoes in the back for chips and no one wants them, go on
Me - oh I am sure they will, this kebab is enough for me!
Her - are you SURE you don't want chips? Go on ...
Me - (edge to my voice now) it's fine honestly
I tried to move away a bit but then the lady getting my kebab came over and the younger woman said 'she doesn't want chips, I've told her to have some.' I was really fed up now and I said (smiling but edge) 'yes okay... that's enough now.'
THEN she said 'do you want a sausage?' The woman getting my kebab said 'you're annoying her now' to the younger woman. I said firmly (trying to be a good assertive MNetter) 'you're not annoying me but this is starting to make me feel uncomfortable.'
Dead silence.
So AIBU to be 'wtf' and to never go in that chip shop again ...
