I'm not sure if this is a beer thread post, a random thread post, or a Trump thread post, but I'll put it here.
So I stopped by P Street Whole Foods yesterday for a $5 flight (cheapest beer buzz in town if you pick the high ABV beers, just sayin').
So I'm enjoying my flight when this 75+ woman sits down next to me. She's got long white hair, I'm guessing she's some kind of aging hippie. She looks at my flight and asks "What is that you're drinking?" I tell her it's called a 'beer flight.' She looks amazed. "Well I've never heard of that before, wow. Do they do that at all the bars?" I told her I didn't really know, that I thought it was pretty common at beer establishments. "Do they do it across the street at Stoney's?" I told her I wasn't familiar with Stoney's.
She starts talking with this other woman about playing some game called ?Trivia? on her cell phone. She turns to me and asks ?Do you play Trivia?? I reply, ?Oh, I don?t have a cell phone.?
She looks at me with a mix of dismay and disbelief. ?You don?t have a cell phone? Everybody has a cell phone. Why don?t you have a cell phone??
?Oh, I guess I mean I don?t have a modern cellphone. I have on old timey one for emergencies. I don't do other stuff on it?
?Oh, you have a flip phone? Well you?ll get a cell phone, eventually. Then you?ll be able to play Trivia on it!?
I reply, ?Oh, my wife has an iphone. She plays all kinds of games on it.?
She answers, ?Oh, it?s not a game, it?s Trivia!?
Then she asks, "So do you like the Trump win?" And I reply with a somber "No."
And she launches into an monologue...."WHAT? You'd be ok with a woman President? I think that would be terrible! A woman can't be President. ISIS isn't going to be afraid of a woman. Those Moslems want to come here and take over. They want to make all the women wear veils." Turning to the woman next to her, "Do you want to be forced to wear a veil?"
At that point I checked myself out of the conversation, resisting the urge to try to engage her in thoughtful debate.
