Observed argument between couple at the zoo and could not keep my mouth shut. Join me.
So I'm at the zoo on a work day like the funemployed twank I am and I'm standing by the bison exhibit which is splattered with bison signage and imagery making it absolutely clear that we are looking at American Bisons. A mid 20s hetero couple comes along and this conversation goes down:
\- woman speaking excitedly: oh look, bison!
\- man: that's a buffalo.
\- woman: they're bison.
\- man: why do you have to argue everything?
The man then wanders off to the left side of the enclosure. She seems to ignore him and goes to read the sign on the other side of the enclosure, a good 30 or so feet away from him. An older man walks up to her and says "you know, in moments like these you need to decide 'do I want to be right or do I want to be happy' ".
I was already invested, and that took me to pissed.
\- me: why are you telling her that?
\- old man: because it's the kind of advice that has kept me married for over 40 years.
\- me: but why are you telling her that and not him?
\- old man: well it goes for him too, and for you
\- me: no it does not. She, correctly, said it was a bison. He argued it was a buffalo. She argued back that it was a bison, and then he accused her of being argumentative when he baited her into the argument and was being argumentative himself. And then you walked up to her and gave her the awful advice that she needs to let him have this or else, presumably, lose him.
\- another woman behind me pushing a double stroller: because god forbid she corrects him when he's being an idiot. \turns to girl\ honey, you should consider leaving, he's not respecting your time or your joy. It won't get better.
\- old man: I didn't mean to make this a woman thing.
The other woman, the young girl, and I all silently agree to ignore him and the woman behind me loudly said to her kids "look at that BISON" which the young girl also loudly added while grinning ear to ear "oh they have BISON in this enclosure? Is this the BISON exhibit?"
I didn't get the chance to say this before I left because I was too busy smiling, but if you were either of the women visiting the BISON enclosure in the DC zoo on 4/27/2023, I'm proud of us. And to the young girl, I hope you leave the man-child.
