Bitch Please... I'm from the Westside

Early morning jaunt to Richmond for a spot of furniture shopping with friend, J.

Inside a boutique - and rather over-priced - homewares retailer. A Kath and Kim's Trude lookalike at the counter.


Me: Morning.

Trude: Yiiieesss, how can I help yiiou?

Me: That Barcelona chair by the window, how much is it?

Trude: Oiii yahhh, that chair. It's $3000, plus delivery.

Me: And how much is delivery?

Trude: Where iiis it to?

Me: Well, I'm from the western suburbs.

Trude: Ooohh. You're from the wiiiestern suburbs?

Me: Yes.

Trude: And yiiou know about the Barcelona???

Me: Well, it's a step up from the milk crates, but yes, I know about Barcelona chairs.

Trude: Oohhh... nooo, I didn't mean to...

Me: What? Be a pretentious eastern suburb snob? Oiii yaaahhh, I'm siiiure.


I am so gonna go all "Pretty Woman" on her ignorant arse.


I love me my Barcelona chairs...
even for a Westie.

I am not going to lie, I have no idea what this post was about. Anyway, your Filipino right? Don't your people sit on straw mats on the floor? I wasn't aware that the culture has evolved all the way to actual furniture! Good to know...
