The whole ritual of being served at a restaurant makes me queasy. But I'd never dare interfere in it. Never!
Also, when the food takes long to arrive it's a good sign: they took time to prepare it.
Or it sat in the window too long waiting for a runner and now it’s cold (sadly, I’ve had this happen more often than it simply taking a while to be prepared).
I didn't consider that. BF's behavior actually makes sense in that case. I guess I never eat at restaurants that are that full. But seeing OOP's picture, neither do they.
I don’t really approve of their behavior because it’s sending “you don’t know how to do your job” vibes among other things. They could’ve just signaled to their server and asked for a status update.
I know as a programmer, I’d be pretty annoyed if someone shoved my chair out of the way to start typing the code themselves. No mechanic is going to be happy about a customer grabbing tools and doing their own work.
Or they're slammed and your burger comes out dry because they cranked the grill up to cook things faster.
I don't go out to eat at peak hours anymore.
Yeah me too, but I can’t help but not try and hand them plates to clear and get them all in order.
I don’t know what but I don’t like being waited on like that makes them feel like servants to me but we are equal.
Now we have beige flags? Soon there'll be burnt umber, fuscia, striped, herringbone, and eventually they'll have gone to plaid.
My Chilean flag is that I enjoy back scratches.
Is a Chilean flag just a really narrow strip of fabric that runs down the entire length of the flagpole? If not, it should be.
My Chilean flag is that
digo weon muchissima mas que los otros español hablantes.
A cresta!
Lo siento, Chile elegí al azar.
I'm waiting for the swiss flag. It's a huge plus
I'm waiting for houndstooth.
My cirulean flag is that I want more flag types.
I look for yellow ochre flags.
Imagine his partner is in labour for hours. He gets impatient and just grabs a baby from the nursery and brings it to her with that smile. Like I’m hundred percent sure that if he does this regularly he has grabbed plates that were meant for other tables.

You don't want to know how often that really happened!
Yes I'm sure this guy has trouble remembering the face of their waiter and talking to people, he just goes and grabs shit randomly. Spot on deduction, Watson!
How's his patience behind the wheel of a car?
That's actually annoying as fuck.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
I repeat
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH
(wtf is that even supposed to mean)
Ask him if he wants to come back to the kitchen and wash his own dishes while he's at it.
