A conversation I overheard
I hear a lot of conversations going on at work. 98% of them I ignore, since I generally have better stuff to do than to listen to some random people talking about their day.
This one caught my attention though. I only had 1-2 tables going, so I had a bit of free time to mull around trying to look useful. At one of the bar tables, I hear a lady saying "But New Orleans has always been wicked." My ears perked up for a second, and a man proceeded to respond "well, that's why God flooded them off the earth."
I just stood there for a second, watching this group of 6 people around this bar table sit there with serious looks on their faces while talking about the "wicked New Orleans" getting smote off the earth by their god. I couldn't believe the nerve of these people and their self-rightous attitudes.
So what the hell? Do other people really think like this? Absolutely appalling.
