The people in Spakenburg, a village in the Netherlands, used to depend totally on fish. It was a fisherman’s harbour when the village was bordered by the Zuiderzee. The Dutch fight against the water has changed a lot. The people still go fishing but the water has changed, the water in the IJsselmeer isn’t salt. The nature of the people didn’t change: they form a hard working community.
So hearing a girl on a terrace near the harbour telling that
she now has two jobs, is not very surprising. What followed was not very nice.
We were sitting not even that near and I tried not to
overhear things but she and her girlfriends were quite loud mouthed.
One mentioned that another friend had got a new scooter. The
girl with two jobs came to the conclusion that she was just a spoiled brat to
get this from her parents. One of the other girls knew more about it and told
that she got into an accident with the old one. The insurance gave almost
enough for a new one, she had added some of her own and the father only paid 50
Euro.
The verdict didn’t change: a spoiled brat! Even the addition
that the father loaned the money didn’t help …
A girl came by. Remark about her: she is such a whore. One
of the others told that she was with a boyfriend already two years. This was
her first and only boyfriend as far as she knew. Verdict: she has horny eyes
just like her mother.
A girl on crutches passed by. She was considered to show
off. For sure she was faking her walking troubles. To me it looked like she had
a broken leg…
Then they had to dive under the table: the grandma was
passing by. She didn’t feel like blabbering with her. The old woman would never
stop.
Grandma did see her and said “Hi Sweetie!” and just went on.
Our negative girl told that she had been french kissing with
a guy. The others were amazed because they knew he was with another girl for
months already. Of course she knew this, the stupid turd became angry with her.
It was her own fault, she should have been dancing with him instead of talking
to friends. That she had cried a lot after hearing about it couldn’t bother
her. It was just fun though he wasn’t much of a kisser.
One of the girls had a new tattoo on her leg. The others
begged her to show it and so she did. There was a ruffle of clothes, I don’t
know where it was placed.
One of the others liked it but our negative girl thought it
was totally shit. Her friend should go back and ask her money back. She went on
and on about it. In the end they all agreed on it. The girl was going to the
tattoo shop next week to get it redone or get a refund.
They all had finished their drinks, so they decided to leave
the terrace. The table was not very stable and they bumped against it. The
result was that their plates and cups fell on the floor.
One girl wanted to clear the floor, but was stopped by the
others.
“Just don’t bother! We paid for this!” and off they went.

Oh dear... I think your title sums it all up nicely, Albert. This little group didn't have anything nice to say about anyone, and obviously no respect for anything in society! I just hope they were young enough to "grow up" to know better.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI was shocked to hear how awful they were. I fear they will not become a lot better as adults, they were around 20 years of age.
