This happened at Scotty's Landing . . .
Not too long ago, I was at Scotty's Landing with a friend.
It was very crowded that day. It must have been a holiday or something because there wasn't a table to be had. There was a long line waiting to be seated.
Finally we sat down and it ended up being the first table right where the waiting line was. So we sat down and a few minutes later, this lady in a wheelchair rolls up and asks if she could sit there. What could we say? We said ok.
She had a trained helper dog with her, to assist her, which attracted others in the restaurant to our table, so that they could pet the special dog.
Well, we sat and ate and drank and I felt bad for her since she was in the wheelchair with MS and it seems that it struck her only three years ago, so that must have been hard on her. Her son soon arrived, he was maybe in his early 30's. So he joined us and ate and drank. When the bill came, I took it and paid for everyone. Why, I don't know, I tend to do stupid things like that.
It turns out the lady is here on her mega sail boat, docked at Dinner Key and they are purchasing a unit in the Grovenor House, where the units start at $2 million. She has a place in New Mexico with her husband and her son will be playing drums with some Philharmonic orchestra in Japan.
Yet I am the fool who picked up the bill when they are the ones who intruded on my friend and me, when they should have done the honors.
P.S. The husband approached the table a bit later, he must have seen the idiotic set up and he just went back to the boat like a gentleman thinking his wife and son are nuts the way they just intrude and take over people's meals and tables.
