To: jobim

A friend of mine from Wisconsin and her husband spent a week with us a few years ago. Whenever we went anywhere that we had to talk to blacks she would always say “what did she say, what did she say”. I absolutely had to play translator. There were a few I couldn’t even understand.

One time I called the customer service department for my Discover card. The black lady on the other end was so bad I couldn’t understand a word she said. She got mad and then I got mad. Finally I asked her to put somebody on that could speak English. She screamed “I am speaking English”! I screamed back “could have fooled me” and hung up. I’m normally a very calm polite person and I never scream on the phone or anywhere else but she pushed me over the edge. Not only was she rude, she was stupid too.
