Volunteer Appreciation

Last night we went to the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner for the hospital. We sat in the back at a table with some nice looking older people (probably one couple was about 45 and the other about 65). The one lady was honestly one of the rudest people I have ever encountered, we were embarrassed to be sitting at the same table as them. First they were speaking in their native tongue, which we think might have been Arabic. Not a huge deal, but they definitely weren't welcoming or wanting to join in conversation with us. The first request was for more salad dressing, not an unusual request, but she wasn't the nicest about it. I never once heard any of them say thank you to the servers. After the salad dressing it was the bread. She asked for it multiple times claiming she was starving after she had just eaten her entire salad. I'm pretty sure several times during the meal she said I'm done to the server to get them to take her plate away, or at least demanded they take her husband's plate away after he was done. The final and worst incident was the end. The servers were bringing the cake around and came to me, I said no thank you (I had brownies at home that looked a lot better than the cake looked, so don't think I am changing my ways and skipping dessert) and immediately she patted the table in front her husband and said he wants some. Honestly at that point I just wanted to get up and leave the table right then. I mean come on lady, the server was going there next. So everyone is eating their cake, but she just takes one little bite and says I just wanted a little bite and pushes it out of the way. Now instead of just being rude and inconsiderate she was being totally wasteful, I mean couldn't she have just had a little bit of her husband's like I did. It turns out her husband did eat her entire cake, so it ended up not being wasted, but still. We were totally shocked the whole night and left as soon as possible.
