Well you know, being the big bully that I am....I actually do have a story, though it doesn't involve the theatre...it involves being at an IHOP one night...when I was living in Orlando in fact ;)
But ANYWAY...to make a long story short...my friend and I were eating, when the guys at the table next to us just started calling the waitress "slow" and "stupid"...even after that, she still tried to be polite to them...but a couple of minutes later, I noticed that she was behind the counter near a corner wiping tears from her eyes. So while it was probably stupid...I just told the two guys that it must make them feel really good to put down women for no reason..must make them feel like real "men". YEAH...VERY STUPID. They didn't say anything back to me, although I realize I could've been in serious trouble if they had been the "wrong type" of people to say that to.
But anyway, I got up and went over and gave the waitress a hug. She said something to the effect of "Thank you so much for doing that for me...I've put up with alot of things, but that just hit me real hard b/c recently I've been going thru alot". We ended up talking for a while, and everytime I went in after that we would talk. She really had nobody else in her life, and was all on her own...sometimes people just need somebody to talk to.
So anyway....I'd like to think that maybe I was there for a reason that night...however sappy that may sound. I think it also helped decide my career path for me. I can't stand seeing people mistreated for no reason.
OVER AND OUT ;)
