Why Me?????

Top O' the world! She's serving tables at IHOP...perhaps she's a layed off BioChemist that can't find work in her field.

LOL, SaintLB...guess it could be a Vitamin D deficiency! Darstep...she was a customer...the servers were far, far more sane than she!

(My hubby is 6'5", and a former defensive end....so you can imagine how this woman was affecting him)???!!! Am I just being picked on, or are any of you having weird experiences that are escalating the closer it gets to game day?

This is why I never wear any gear. Too much tribalism

But Papa Voodoo, as long as I'm not disrespecting anyone, I or any Saints fan should have the right to wear our gear without some nutbag attacking us. We're at a restaurant...not a stadium. People are gettin' crazier these days!

But I feel you Joanie. I've been putitng up with people like that for 19 years. Ever since we moved to South Dakota and people found out I was a Saints fan, I've been getting picked on for it. Some guy told me after the Vikings game that I should just shoot myself in the face, "because the Saints won't stand a chance against Lord Peyton and the Mighty Colts. It would save you the trouble of suffering through another Saints a*s beating." It took my brother and his girlfriend holding me back to keep from leaping across the table and ripping his head off. People are just nasty and will look for any way to put other people down.

Joanie, this is a new thing for us Saints fans. Being "on top" that is...

You have a Superbowl to watch this weekend - and as for that Pink-haired elderly troll... well, she has to wake up and be herself tomorrow.

GEAUX SAINTS!!

JoanieNTX · 02-05-2010, 03:18 PM

Thanks, ya'll! You make me feel better.

The best way to answer all of these kooks is to go out there and win the game. Period. Dot. Dot. Haters = ones who lose!

Sorry J, I thought you could get a free meal out of the deal if it were an obnoxious employee. A bitter hater. Not much to do about those.

It's an omen...Your saints are going to go down and go down bad this sunday night...no really I would advise ever going to that IHOP again.

I got hammered by the girl working the entrance at Sam's here in Shreveport too. She wasn't as oboxious as the psyco you're talking about but she was irritating. Don't worry about it Jonie, it's just sore loser Cowboy fans taking out their frustrations. Just smile, keep on the high ground, and move on. We know who the winners are.

WHO-DAT!!!
