Common Courtesy

I had an interesting experience this last weekend. Myself along with a few other people (it was a date if you'd really like to know) went to a shabby little place called Nickel City. For those of you who have never experienced the joy of a germ filled, hot and sweaty room stuffed with smelly people, it is an arcade where games cost only a few nickels each. Contrary to their advertisements I might add, but that is besides the point. Another thing you should know about this cute establishment is that the usual crowd of people that regularly attend are what some people might call "white trash." (Of course, I would never use that term--but I did hear it get thrown around a bit while I was there.)

Going in I was prepared for the tidal wave of such people since I have been to Nickel City before, but I was not prepared for the lack of common courtesy from a certain young woman. She was a slightly large woman but I would like to say it would still have bothered any normal person even if she was not large. Anyway. She was playing a game that required her to bend over every few minutes to deposit more nickels. She played this game for quite some time and periodically put more nickels in to continue her game. Every time she bent over to put coins in, her pants that were already too low and also a couple sizes too small for her, would travel a little ways down her butt. Okay, a LOT of ways down her butt. There, I said it.

Her shirt, that was a couple sizes too small as well, would ride up uncovering her sides and back. Can you picture this? If you can, you must understand that this was not a pretty sight. And like I mentioned before, she played this game for a while. It was like blood on the highway--impossible not to look. Now, if she was alone in a dark room with no mirrors, this would be fine behavior. But was she alone in a dark room with no mirrors? No, she was not. She was in a very public place surrounded by many people. I mean seriously. Come on. All I am asking for is a little common courtesy people.
