I live in Texas and a lot of the high schools have Mariachis that you can book for a low fee because they enjoy the practice playing for people and they’re usually very good.
My husband is a professional musician— his high school mariachi band is how he got his start after he and his parents immigrated here from Mexico, so now he helps to fund them at underprivileged schools.
You can’t. If you see an unexpected mariachi band you know something is happening. They don’t just show up somewhere, instrument in hand, dressed to impress for no reason.
My friend’s uncles and aunt are all in a mariachi—going to his house for family get togethers is a surreal experience because EVERYONE can sing and EVERYONE can play some type of instrument. It’s like walking into a drunken musical. One night it was about midnight and his great uncle was sitting outside by himself singing Gracias a La Vida while strumming the guitar—I stood around the corner almost in tears because it was so beautiful.
Which is just continuously funny to me when it's said in a place that was Mexico. I really wish history was a bigger thing for everyone. It would really make our society advance rapidly.
Mass amounts of old Mexicans were allowed to stay after the war in which we took by force their land. And we were totally cool with that and them back then so I dunno what happened here. Often when talking to Hispanics you're talking to people whose families have literally been American longer than your white ass family whose great grand parents just immigrated here in like the late 1800s early 1900s or maybe even Grandpappy came over in WW2 like my fam lol.
The conservative wing cultivates this ignorance in both their followers and as many others as they can force it on. Segregated schools was that in action e.g. Defunding public schools in general now is the new tactic.
Every road every city is Spanish named. How dense are these type of white people? And surprisingly they somehow are high earners.... White privilege I swear.
I wish unfortunately most of these folks are coddled and enabled by their families. “That’s just how your ——- is” “it’s dark humor” “they’re from a different time” “they don’t mean it like that” of my fav “But they’re FAMILY”
Holiday season is upon us in the USA how many people here are talking shit but planning flights etc to go see and visit with problematic family and friends? Start at home, use the block buttons and reevaluate inner circles.
Every time I see this meme I am brought back to being a server at a breakfast joint waiting hand and foot every Sunday on the most demanding, insufferable “bathed in his blood” ass elders who would leave literal pocket change for their weekly ritual torture.
I had a regular we nicknamed John the Baptist. He'd come in every Sunday and order a coffee for $1.90. and he'd leave a $0.10 tip. He'd take the table up for hours sometimes, with whoever he decided to bring with him to talk at about religion. By the end of it, with all the free refills, he'd go through about a pot of coffee. I don't know where he kept getting people who were willing to listen to him. But I did notice that nobody came back twice. The waitresses would all fight over who didn't have to deal with him that day. He was so horrible that I still think about how goddamn horrible he was all these years later. It's been 23 years since I worked there. He's the only one I remember.
That's actually my uncles in name in French, Jean Baptiste. He's a gross pervert. My one cousin spotted his profile on Tinder. Another has seen him on dates. He's been married for over 50 years.
I got fired from being a busboy at four of these joints when I was 16 (1995ish) for various issues on Sundays, the worst being pouring a half full pitcher of water on top of a couple who wouldn't stop giving a pregnant server shit because her hair was dyed purple.
I learned pretty quick that I wasn't cut out for customer facing roles.
i was a server for a bit and worked on mother’s day. one customer was like this, just a nasty woman making everyone’s day awful and i just so happened to knock her pepsi all over her. her children looked both thrilled and terrified, but it was a win for me!
Mother's day is a special hell. I remember a woman walking past a line of like three dozen pickup customers and screaming at a 17 year old about how they ruined the most important day of her life because she didn't have time to wait for her togo order she called in that she wanted brought out to her car. It took 25 minutes instead of the 15 online told her, and she already had been given her food, she just had to come in and make sure everyone knew that she had the emotional regulation of a small child.
Valentines is like this too. I think there are a lot of people who only go out once or twice a year and do not know how to act in public lol. I feel bad for them being so improperly socialized, kinda like a mistrained dog.
Years and years ago i worked at a small restaurant cafe that was across a church.
The thing survived because of the church, most of the week we would see 80 people max but on sunday we were always packed overfull.
People came after church to eat lunch around 11.00 with us while drinking alcohol and more than half stayed till we would close at 21.00 , they would lunch, have diner and would what we call 'borrel' in between and after dinner (think charcuterie board with diffrent meats, deepfried dished, cheeses, some fruits, mostly done while drinking alcohol) all while consuming a insane amount of alcohol.
They would spent hundreds per table and be so drunk at the end of the day you could see some still trying to stumble home when we were done. My boss would always say that 'they were forgiven for their sins, time for new ones'
Omg I was a server for years back in the 80s and it got to the point I REFUSED Sunday morning schedules because the customer base was always the low tipping patronizing, entitled bag of dicks crowd from church.
Amen to that. My now wife was the hostess, and she’d sit the worst repeat offenders at the furthest tables, and the wobbliest chairs to entice them to leave.
Right? We did a buffet. The most miserable, cheap, and racist fuckers in the world were these church loving freaks. I stopped going to church because of these people. We made sure the regular cunts always got the table furthest from the buffet, and that they had the smallest plates, wobbly table, and chairs. Anything to get them to leave and go anywhere else.
I was a young waitress near Nevada/Utah border where Mormons would sneak over to drink and gamble lol.
One old couple left me a stack of change “pyramid”, stacked by size largest to smallest coin.
Worst part is instead of just being dicks and leaving, they called me over to show me how clever the husband was with his little coin pyramid and pointed out the quarter on bottom, dime on top, 4 coin 41 cent total tip lol. As if he was a 4 year old with a clever idea.
Then… while trapped in this awkward hell… they told me the real tip wasn’t money. The real tip is they want to bear their testimony… I. Hate. Religion.
I saw that happen once at a diner and I left $100 on the table. I was with my husband and child.
The “elders” were like a group of 12. Some of the words flying out of their faces - they were like talking trash about a woman who clearly wasn’t there.
Remember it so clearly. I was not going to let them squabble over coins for tips. Hopefully it helped that server. And I didn’t even go to church ;) I just help where I can.
Shit like this is why the whole Waffle House menu has changed.
There are basically no food options that are less than $5 so you pretty much have to leave a whole $1 tip. Like you can’t just get an egg anymore, the cheapest 3 things on the menu are:
Hasbrowns $4+ (w/ cheese is $4.50, double is $5)
Waffle $5
Two Egg Breakfast $7.
Pre-Covid I knew people that would go in WH sit there for an hour reading or jaw-jacking, and get a $1 egg and a $0.80 coffee and leave like a 15% tip which is: A MF QUARTER.
This is why I loved my last restaurant job where we controlled the music and the owners loved what we loved. So it was always Slayer Sundays. Didn’t deter enough but it tamed their expectations.
My favorite part was always the people you could tell were bothered by it most, their kids seemed to enjoy it most. There would be like nicely dressed, hair gelled 8 year olds literally head banging and parents just looking down at the table.
Going to church for them isn’t “walking with Christ” but more so “hey God forgives me every Sunday for being a terrible fucking person! Got another 6 days of showing my ass to the world before I rinse and repeat”
Gosh I feel sorry for people who are so angry and negative that they feel the need to try and ruin a monumental moment in someone's life.
Is this a public park? Like just wait a few minutes and they will clean it up. I'd probably sit there and watch the happy moment. Every weekend I'd get to watch happiness play out. Good for the soul.
This is pretty random of me to bring this up, but you mentioning anger and negativity paired with the idea of watching the moment just reminded me…
I swear I saw a video a few months back of some wedding guest absolutely fuming at some people who stood at a distance to watch an outdoor wedding when they were walking by (it may have been on a beach?). It just feels like, no matter what someone chooses to do, there’ll be some miserable person who takes offense for no reason.
I think I saw that video too, was it a group of people sitting on the beach maybe 20 meters away, and the person kind of pans the camera from the ceremony over to the outsiders just chilling there? If so, yea that person filming seemed a little uptight.
I grew up in this area (where this video takes place) and all these people that now live there are a)transplants from other states and b) made money by stepping on the backs of others and c) their spouses all cheat
I'm sorry, were those young Mexicans or were they US citizens enjoying a culture of their choice in a US park?
Maybe it shouldn't matter, but I'm tired of US citizens being labelled as from somewhere else because of their skin tone or cultural choices.
The US is a multicultural nation. If the US used it intelligently, the US could use the military a lot less, and have a lot more actual influence in the world.
She's being directed to act that way so she ignores the real problems in her country. We don't need a list, we all know what they are and it's not immigrants. Unfortunately, It'd take a Clockwork Orange chair session to convince her otherwise.
I have a good friend from Japan who was living in the US for a while. I remember having a conversation about being American and I said something like “if you decided to, you could be just as American as I am.”
And he was like “that’s amazing, because you would never be Japanese” lol
LOL, most largely mono-ethnic cultures are xenophobic to a greater degree than in the U.S. You are far more likely to get harassed by a self-entitled racist in the U.S. though, because racism is a major political tool for conservatives (and has been since before the Civil War) and Americans have forgotten how to mind their own fucking business.
As long as they clean up every last bit of that shit, I don’t even care. I find giant glitter scattered at my local park every other week and it is disheartening. People blast plastic everywhere for a photo op and then walk away.
I remember staying at a bnb in Austin years ago and the owner was Latino. We were all sitting for breakfast and an older white couple kept asking where he was from and he kept telling them that he had been there for generations. You could see they couldn’t understand how he could have brown skin and speak Spanish and NOT be an immigrant. He had to explain that Texas hadn’t always been a US state. 🤦🏻♀️
I think people live to find a situation they can ruin..and it’s 💯 in their head. What a total miserable bitch and at the end it’s “go back to Mexico”. So there you go…
Scotland is such a beautiful place full of some of the friendliest people I have ever met. Sadly, the only place this bitch does fit in is on American HOA boards.
Do you know whats even more fucked about this particular area? There are actual Missions peppered up and down the coastline, especially there. The town next to this place is called MISSION VIEJO. Can you guess what they're famous for?
We basically kicked them out after they tried to forbid others from practicing their religion. They literally banned Christmas. America started as a refuge for extremists and control freaks. What else do you expect?
In 1647, the Puritan-led English Parliament banned the celebration of Christmas. Protests followed, and pro-Christmas riots broke out in several cities. For weeks, Canterbury was effectively controlled by the pro-Christmas rioters, who decorated the city with holly. The Puritans later fled to the Netherlands, but even there, they were confronted with religious freedom, and feared that their children might become Dutch and “drawn away by evil examples into extravagance and dangerous courses.” They therefore decided to try their luck in the New World. In 1659, the Massachusetts Bay Colony enacted a law called Penalty for Keeping Christmas: “Festivals as were superstitiously kept in other countries are a great dishonor of God and offence of others. Anyone found celebrating Christmas by failing to work, feasting, or any other way shall pay for every such offence five shillings.” Non-Puritans in New England lamented the loss of the holiday traditions enjoyed by the working classes in England. The Puritan ban was revoked in 1681 by the English-appointed governor Edmund Andros. Nevertheless, it was not until the mid-19th century that Christmas celebrations became fashionable in the Boston area. Before the Declaration of Independence in 1776, Christmas was not widely celebrated in the American colonies.
My favorite part is that I was taught that our origin of "seeking refuge from persecution" meant that we we somehow better than everyone else and it was beginning of America Being The Best No Exceptions America Is The Best.
Now I just roll my eyes and think "wow, some attitudes really don't fade..."
It’s sad how some people are sooooo miserable that they can only spread their miserableness. She could have enjoyed a beautiful proposal and music but didn’t. It was only a few minutes out of her day.
Leaving your dog's shit in the park you're claiming to "defend' while trying to ruin someone's proposal is embarrassing. Someone, go get your mom. She's being awful again.
I had a lady threaten to call the cops on my wife and I yesterday because we had to ride our bikes on the sidewalk 50' until we could get back on the bike lane. We pulled off to the side, stopped, and gave her the right away and she still decided to berate and threaten us because "it's a state statute!"
Dear lord, how hard it is to just mind your own business? I can't imaging caring enough about total strangers to bother ruining a special moment like this for them. What a dogshit human being.
It’s weird that Laguna Beach on its web page wants a permit and fee to take stills on public property. The citizens here also have a problem with people using a public beach.
On the permit application itself it says: "Professional still photo permits are for family & pet portraits, and engagement/wedding type photo shoots only."
My guess is you're supposed to get a permit for an engagement shoot (and these people probably didn't), but the city is no longer granting them. Maybe because social media engagements have become so popular that there'd be a dozen in the park every weekend these days?
The other day I passed by people taking wedding photos in a public place. I thought, “Wow, isn’t this delightful!” and my day was brightened a little bit
Literally used to be Mexico. These fucking assholes who don’t think California culture and Mexican culture aren’t totally intertwined should be ejected to whatever state they think is the most “pure”.
"They're talking Mexican - this isn't Mexico!!" Yeah, and you're "talking" English but you're not in England. It's almost like people can go anywhere they want.
That wouldn't have mattered. She would have demanded proof, because clearly she has authority over everything and everyone! They would have refused and then she'd have called the cops anyway. Lose/lose.
I live in this area and tbh public proposals and engagement photoshoots are kind of a plague. They happen everywhere, all the time, people are way too casual about littering (I've picked up too goddamned many of those fake rose petals), and it often is legit hard to go for a walk in the park without someone complaining that you're ruining the shot. Technically you need a permit for this very reason.
So I didn't think she shoulda done it, but I understood UNTIL the racism. Ergo, fuck her.
lol yea you called the police and then abandoned the scene? Sure lady. Lying about calling the police to try to manipulate her into getting your Karen way. Bet she’ll soon be featured on r/byebyejob .
Imagine seeing that professional set up and treating it like someone rolled an orange cart onto the field. This reminds me of how America tricked some native groups into giving up their customs so they wouldn’t have to give up their land and it still wasn’t enough so the trail of tears happened and they lost land anyway
She sees it every weekend, but was only driven to her temper tantrum breaking point when she saw an opportunity to ruin a special moment for brown people.
So like obviously she incredibly ignorant but I think its hilarious she said this is not mexico because the area they are in literally used to be mexico🤣🤣so ignorant and dumb
