While the tour was informative, the guide publicly humiliated me. As she conveyed data on how many people were actually buried alive during colonial times and the evidence to support it, I added, āIsnāt that the reason for having funeral āwakes,ā to provide time for the person to wake-up just in case they are asleep and didnāt they sometimes have bells above the burial site that the individual could ring?ā My comments did not go over very well with her. She unleashed multiple sarcastic comments at me regarding her knowledge and how could I possibly teach her anything. I commented out loud about her sarcasm but she did not relent, and I felt belittled. Later, I thought I would try to give her a chance to apologize, and privately said to her, āI guess you think I am a dumb sh**?ā Her response was,āYup.ā Other couples informed us that they were afraid to make comment for fear of being talked down to and that her comments directed at me were uncalled for. Well, this particular guide may have 2 Master Degrees as claimed, but she is not much smarter than a child and does not have common decency. I reported the incident to a supervisor after the tour. He asked, āWhat did I want?ā I told him that I wanted her uncalled for actions to be noted in her job performance and nothing else.
