Tobacco as a failure to culturally connect

I was sitting in kaffehaus eating brunch when an older gentleman, eating lunch with his wife and daughter, asked for piri-piri. They didn't have generic Portuguese hot sauce (piri-piri) but brought tobacco instead. Which would Have been a fine stand-in had the gentleman the. Proceeded to spray his food, his table and me with Tabasco. And then said nothing to me. No "Desculpa-me" or "Pardon". Nothing. Not a word. I then spent 10 minutes cleaning my iPad, jacket and pants of tobacco while my brunch got cold. A failure to culturally connect.
