Don’t mess with Granny!

I’m trying to make a dent in all the reader mail I have waiting on line.
Hoboken411 readers Jenna and Kelly wanted to share this cute observation about a territorial senior who has a favorite chair at Panera Bread:
Granny calls shotgun at Panera
“I went into Panera and this meemaw stink-eyed me down during my lunch. As soon as I got up she raced (and by race I mean the slowest wobble in the world) to steal my table. I have been in there and several more times and she is sitting in the same table by the window. Just an FYI— don’t sit in the granny’s seat!!!”

But there’s another character who hangs out at Panera frequently. He wears dark color work overalls, about 6′, around 230lbs, and has a gang of keys chained to the side of his pants. Usually sits in the center leather sofas and watches everyone… sometimes for too long.

She could have altzheimer’s. Or another disability or mental problem.
If a certain table makes her happy at her old age, why pick on her? Do you think you’ll have a few odd habits when you get to that age? Do you deserve to be publicly made fun of on a message board?
What’s next, photos of a Downs syndrome kid who made google-eyes at you??
Maybe she was giving you the ’stinkeye’ because you were taking a photo of her.
Those who are in favor of this, please give me directions to where your mom lives so I can post photos of her if I don’t like the way she looks at me or acts, especially once she is over 70.
This is NOT serving the public interest or the community interest; it’s just stupid. In my opinion as a citizen.

My point regarding the Yuppies drinking is, those photos would never be sent here because of fear of lawsuits, but if the person in the photo is old or mentally ill, it seems to be open season. DO you think I’m wrong? OK then, send photos of average Hoboken residents around here behaving in ways you don’t like – crowing you on the bus or drinking too much at night – and see if any of them get posted here or stay up very long.
Go ahead. Try it!

Trump, dude, you’ve got the order confused. The writer wrote that she was already sitting down at a table, when the elderly lady gave her the stinky eye. The writer got up, and the elderly lady raced over to grab the table. The writer didn’t pick on her, rather, the elderly lady was picking on the writer – no one deserves to have the stinky eye hex placed on them for no wrong transpired.
The second instance of the stinky eye hex came as the writer had to document being bullied in Panera Bread. Imagine that, they’ve got bullies there to go with your Pick Two meal.

How long have you been visiting hoboken411? Have you missed all the hillarious drunken photos and videos?
My favorite is the one where the guy is stumbling, and walks into the street and whizzes on a brown/beige 2 toned older early 1980’s model Blazer. Then there’s all the embarrasing St Patty’s Day incriminating evidence.

Panera is the hang out spot for people who are completely bonkers. My friend were eating there one night and an older man, “Bob the Builder”, sat down with us and offered us jobs at his construction company.

My parents are in their seventies and we went to Panera. My dad said, “What is this, Hoboken’s senior citizen soup kitchen?” I busted out laughing.
Hey, they liked the sandwiches though and my mom won’t eat anything that is “spicy”.

I have lived in the same building as this woman for over 4 years. I also swear that she has cursed me out in Slavic/Italian and after being caught in the elevator with her a few times, if I see her coming I go in the other direction. It is sad but she is a bit loco!
And I was at Panera today and she was at her usual spot by the window.

As long as she doesn’t urinate on the floor of the restaurant, I’m fine with her.
Now for the other nuts in this city that pee on the floor of restaurants, something needs to be done!

After you accept the job offer, he takes you to his van and throws a large sack over your head.
The next thing you know you are in leather chained to a pillar in his basement or you are in a well and he keeps telling you to put the lotion in the basket.
The old lady is like Kathy Bates – she has people trapped in her home because they have been hobbled.
