  1. I hope no one driving that said car you all were in was not drinking or doing any other form of resectional or medicinal drug.

    Editor’s Note: Without a dd, you usually don’t see me.

  2. What about the fact that the woman described sounds mentally ill? So many are these days. Behavior like that probably wasn’t personal. How could it be if you didn’t even know who she was? I know it was unpleasant but she sounds like she needs professional help. Just saying.

    Editor’s Note: Agreed. I’m not mad, it was random act, I just worry they may one day do it to the wrong person.

    1. Yes you got lots and lots of trouble
      I’m thinkin’ of the kids in the knickerbockers
      Shirt-tail young ones, peekin’ in the pool hall window after school
      You got trouble, folks
      Right here in River City, trouble with a capital “T”
      And that rhymes with “P” and that stands for pool.

      Editor’s Note: Scott, why must you insist on quoting an awful number from the worst American Musical ever to stain the stage? The Music Man is niether 😉

  3. What was the martini recipe you were drinking (4 and on the floor- Dorothy Parker)? I I have spent my entire life looking for the perfect recipe!

    Editor’s Note: Ha! Thomy, you know yours are still the best in Cape Charles…for yours truly it’s 4 and I can still get out the door, 5 I may take a dive, but as always its 6mb (6 Martini Blackout), and I can’t always vouch for what happened to me…)

  4. This is why I avoid Cape Charles in the summer time. The fleas and ticks are unbearable.
    So basically this person assaulted you by knocking something out of your hands you purchased, with your money from a restaurant you chose to go to.
    I’m not a Psychologist. Nor do I have the time to analyze a person’s motive for attacking me.
    That person would have received “Street Justice” regardlessly of gender or race.
    This is still America, even if this government refuses to enforce the laws. I will not coward to hostile aggression nor should anyone.
    Cape Charles used be a nice place to unwind. Now it’s just a place to tolerated the bad behavior from others.
    Evil will seep in where justice is absent.
    Be safe.

  5. I work in one of the shops in town and I have never, ever seen that type of behavior in a tourist! Granted they do seem entitled when it comes to their golf carts, but I really find it hard to believe that someone would knock your container to the ground but then help you pick it up? And, how do you know it was a tourist?

    Editor’s Note: Read the story closely. The reason it was even written was because it was so random, bizarre, and surreal. To clarify, the girl seemed to shock herself, which is why she picked it. Also, read closely, I did not help her, she picked it up herself. I have been living here well over 20 years, so I can tell a local from someone else, this crew was visiting. The story may be a little harsh on tourists, but if you grew up surfing the Oceanfront, the disdain is genetic. Probably need to work on that.
