Serena Williams reenacts a scene from White Chicks, chasing down the man who took off with her cell phone. Obviously the man didn’t get too far running from a professional athlete who sprints from left to right , for hours at a time, for a living. C’mon, dude, Serena Williams is the number one female tennis player, and 4th overall. You couldn’t have thought this was a good idea.
Anyway, yesterday Serena shared the details of her wild experience with Facebook friends and supporters, quoting,
“Soooooo yesterday at dinner the CRAZIEST THING happened to me. I was sitting enjoying some Chinese food (delicious may I add) and this guy stands next to me. It was only 2 of us sitting at a 4 person table just chatting like we have not seen each other in years. Anyways I digress, so this guy isstanding next to me and something (I have now dubbed it my SUPERHERO sense) told me to watch him. My phone was sitting in the chair but I just didn’t feel right. He was there too long. “Is he a customer?” I thought “Is he waiting on the bathroom?” nonetheless I tried to shake his [sic] this eerie feeling. However, I kept watching him from the corner of my eye. Than when least expected low and behold this common petty thief grabbed my phone and swiftly left. I looked at the chair, than shouted “Omg that dude took my phone!!” Not thinking I reacted (hence the superwoman photo) I jumped up, weaved my way in and out of the cozy restaurant (leaping over a chair or two) and chased him down.
He began to run but I was too fast. (Those sprints came in handy) I was upon him in a flash!
In the most menacing yet calm no nonsense voice I could muster I kindly asked him if he “accidentally” took the wrong phone. He stumbled on his words probably not expecting this to happen. While he was thinking of the right thing to say and eventually he said “Gosh you know what I did! It was so confusing in there. I must have grabbed the wrong phone.”
Meanwhile My phone was ringing, my superhero sidekick quailman was face timing me so he could not possibly deny the allegations. I swiftly thanked him and left.
Superhero? Maybe? Or HELL YEA!! I’ve got the speed the jumps, the power, the body, the seduction, the sex appeal, the strength, the leadership and yet the calm to weather the storm.
Always listen to your superhero inner voice. Always keep your things close! Fight for what’s right. Stand for what you believe in! Be a superhero!
When I got back into the restaurant I received a standing ovation. I was proud. I just showed every man in there I can stand up to bully’s [sic] and other men. It was a win for the ladies!”
Watch: Serena step into super hero mode and chase down her telephone
Yes for girl power, Serena! I bet this fool will think twice about stealing someone’s property next time. Or, maybe he won’t. Maybe, he’ll just choose a weaker, slower victims from now on. What a jerk.
FM is happy you were able to retrieve your cellular device, Ms. Williams. And, we appreciate you for giving us a great match every time you hit the tennis court.
