I hate the people in this town! They're the worst! Some of the worst, rudest people I've ever met live here.
Here's the story:
Well, last night, after feeling I was going to die some horrible death, I got better. And to celebrate, Anna and I went out for a night on the town!
We went to a nice little restaurant by the river. It was nice out. About 75F, humidity not high, pretty quiet, birds chirping and such. Very pleasant.
Just then, some woman comes in with her husband, and what I thought at the time, to be a choking cat. It turns out it was a baby! The night got worse.
For two straight hours, this baby cried, and screamed, and tossed all kinds of crap around. And of course, the mother, being completely unable to shut this baby up, sat there like nothing was wrong.
I wasn't going to let that little hellraiser ruin my night. So, boldly, and angrily, I got up. I went over to the lady.
"Madam, tebyeh nada zastaveet basha rebyonok." This basically translates into, "Lady, you need to shut your baby up."
She didn't take this well.
She glared at me, and shouted, "Dominick!"
Out came this 6'3 250lb bald headed man. I'm pretty sure he's some sort of body guard of some sort.
I saw his huge ass walk around that corner, she pointed at me, he came my way, I grabbed Anna, and ran. I ran like all Hell. And Anna kept up surprsingly well, considering those crazy shoes(kind of like Atsumi's).
About fifteen minutes later, I walk back in all by myself. I look at the lady. She had been joined by some big guy. Looked like a mobster. So I strolled in, unnoticed, and left the money on the table where we were sitting. Then strolled out.
I avoided being beaten to a pulp. It was a good day.
The point of this story? This city is crazy. It's a -blam!- free-for-all. If you ever visit Moscow, be sure not to piss anyone off. Especially the omni-garchs. They'll get you killed.
