Probably The Most Expensive French Fries Ever

This food news is not a my business but I am talking about it any way. I was listening to The Black Geeks podcast and this story came up. I had to find some articles(Here & Here) because what I heard was so unbelievable. 

Most Expensive French Fries' On Sale For $12.99

On the night of Sept. 7, an allegedly drunk woman in the Washington D.C restaurant, Italian Kitchen on U Street took three French fries from a plate that weren't hers. The person she stole from was a uniformed police officer. She took 2 fries and the officer didn't like that. He told her not to do that again. She was stealing from his plate. She then took another French fry and the officer arrested her. She has been charged with 2nd degree theft. Theft of property in the 2nd degree in some places is a Class C felony. In DC, when property stolen used or obtained has some measurable value, punishable by fines not more $1,000 or imprisoned for not exceeding 180 days, or both.

$3.49 could possibly turn into all of that. I hope not. Actually I doubt it will. But it could.

But the this story also bring out an occurrence that is common but we rarely talking about it until it is happening to us. "Keep your hands in your plate". "Get off of my plate".  People who help themselves to the food your plates are weird. It's bad manners to say the least. It's also a problem with being over familiar or comfortable with others. I know a few of people who complain that their spouses do that. I was watching, maybe a web show where a girlfriend purposely order something different so her boyfriend & she could "share" but the guy didn't see it that way. She waited for him to leave the table for a moment and took a bite too many. And yes, he noticed. I can't even imagine a stranger eating off my plate. I understand the police officer's frustration. If the laws fully gave the residents to do seize offenders, Citizen's Arrests would increase with a comical percentage of people apprehending those stealing off of other's food plates.

So, let's just make a great habit Not to Eat Off of Other's Plates. Whether you are sober or inebriated, leave other's food alone. It could cost you. And trust me that small bite is not worth the trouble. Just Ask!!!

I Know I Need to Blog But...

I am Not in the darn mood. The climate of the country I call home is unreal right now. It's not new but right now it is overwhelming.

I'm tired of being "Woke". I'm so "Woke" right now that I want to cry myself to "Sleep". I really wish I could detach from it all and live in a bubble. But only a coward would actually do that. But heck my nosiness would would "Wake" me back up. So, No Worries, I Stay Woke!!!

But it is hard to blog about what I want to share. Yet, I will share it despite up. Somebody might need my a post just to think about something else. And I said on FaceBook, The world will never stop while you live your life

Rest in Peace to Alton Sterling & Philando Castile.I lift up prayers for your families. I don't understand how selling CDs or having a busted tail light could escalate to your death. But I (We ) have to trust "It Will All Come Out in the Wash". Or as the elderly church lady in my mind is saying, "We'll Understand It Better By & By"
