The Ball

Hmm..thought this was supposed to be classy.. Look at the gowns these women were wearing, they looked like burlap bags. I could have over looked those maybe but then there was the hair. The proper style would have been a chignon. These days people didn’t care about proper.
I am out done, paper plates, styrofoam cups, plastic spoons and forks, that wasn’t wine.. it tasted like punch…I called one of the waiters over and asked him what was going on,, he told me to sit down and shut up, I complained rather loudly which was out of character for me, but he didn’t talk to me that way.. I told him to call the maitre’d.
That did not go well at all, that man hadn’t known anything. I’d tried to explain the way they were doing things was all wrong. Obviously he hadn’t even known the basic etiquette, nothing about running a hotel..And how did they try to excuse it? By saying that the hotel (Bayside Shore) was a mental institution. And soon as they untie me, I am going to complain.
