One Sunday morning, I stopped by McDonald's for a cup of coffee. While sipping them, I suddenly overheard 2 ladies queuing up for their breakfast broken into war of mouth. The darker looking lady, a bit tomboyish, with her hair tight up, and multiple earrings on shouted at another lady which she described her as a plastic barbie doll. Apparently, the darker lady was impatient and the barbie doll said something which bothered darker lady.
The dark lady said, 'I said whatever, I don't care, and you stupid barbie doll, #@$%^& and so plastic'. The customers were all quiet and all eyes focused on the pair. The barbie doll then walk away from the counter and move to the MCafe counter area ordering her breakfast. Not feeling satisfied, the dark lady moved toward the barbie and touched her on the arm. She explained she was not happy with what barbie has said and she asked her why she said it. Barbie said, 'I am sorry and can we forget about it'.
I was sitting there hundred of things running in my mind. Will it break into a fight? The barbie then move down to the main counter again but this time complaint to the captain of the chain. During this time, the darker lady actually turned to barbie's friend and said she was sorry coz she has problems controlling her anger. To cut the story short, not fight broke out and both walked away from the restaurant.
I was wondering to myself, should I intervene while the 2 was exchanging words? And if the fight broke out, should I run and pull them away?? Would reacting as a good Samaritan would help? What will you do?
