I am rather upset, who can help?

Question

This evening, I was taken to an evening of 'Bingo', by a person whom I assumed to be a friend.

Whilst the novelty of dabbing ink onto randomly assigned numbers was indeed most gratifying, I was rather distressed by the appalling demographic to which I was exposed.

There seemed to be a disproportionate number of overweight working class people. You know the type, bad clothes and a 'I know what I like, and I like what I bloody well know' sort of attitude. It really was the most appalling experience to watch these sallow, common guttersnipes indulge in their squalid leisure pursuits. One chap was even wearing a tracksuit (the irony, if one observed his flabby body lumber about, is of course glaringly obvious).

I'm wondering, has anyone else had the misfortune to be inadvertently involved in this horrendous stew?

Answer 7

After reading this, one must ask the question...What were you doing there?  If it was so beneath you, then why would your friend humiliate you by taking you to such a horrendous place?  Hmmm, maybe your friend thinks you fit it with the other clientele.

Answer 8

You should have a serious talk with this supposed friend of yours!

LOL!  LMAO LMAO!  That.  Is seriously.  Hilarious.  I love the way you phrased that.  Lumber about.  lol!  Guttersnipes!  lol  I can totally imagine the kind of people you're talking about.  Factory workers from like, Akron, Ohio, lol.  Overweight and ignorant.  And to answer your question, no I've never been to bingo, but I've seen it on Roseanne.  Hehehe.

Answer 11

I was recently in a similarly despicable situation..a good friend of mine had taken me to Bath, the nearest city to my village.

Here we'd had high tea in a local tearooms of supposedly high repute..a questionable reputation in my eyes, since the girl who served us had a face full of metal! There were rings in her ears and nose, even one through her lower lip!

  I found this completely disgusting and out of place..I must mention the most disturbing thought that entered my mind..how does one blow ones nose with all that metal in the way? What horrible phlegm, aged and dried, could actually hang onto those rings..and then possible fall off into ones tea??

I could barely finish my scone..I think the next time I will choose our venue, and I recommend you to do the same!

Answer 12

almost positive they were all on benefits

scum is breeding like rabbits and people who contribute are getting more scarce

don't think there should be such a thing as benefits  

Answer 13

DON'T EVER PLAY BINGO AGAIN !!  Do you hear me ?

Answer 14

Thank God you are not one of those people.

There but for the grace of ................

Answer 15

Wow, you are very judgemental, try not to put people into 'small boxes' so much, then you might of enjoyed the experience abit more.  Kind off, seen outside your own box.
