Well, probably only two minutes but they WERE NOT THAT BUSY. Eventually P said, I give them another minute. No-one even looked at us or came over to say 'give me a minute and then I'll find you a table' or something. So we left. Personally I'd rather they'd hovered!

He made sure to take all the extra plates and flatware off the table as soon as we were finished. Took the damn steak knife right out of my hand, mid cut. Surprised at his own action, he gave me a puzzled look, then smiled and said "I'm just going to bring you a new, cleaner one."Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629988912075918818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279920339896233708.post-53719629847294268002009-11-20T16:28:32.741-06:002009-11-20T16:28:32.741-06:00Ha!

Reminds me of an "overheard in NY" I read the other day:<br /><br />The Food Police Are Everywhere<br /><br />Larger woman in elevator eating Snickers bar: No matter what I do, I can't lose no weight!<br />Less fat friend: Mm-hmm.<br />(elevator goes one floor up and stops. Both go to get off)<br />Suit #1: Unbelievable, no wonder you have weight issues.<br />Larger woman: What? 'scuse me? What you know about me?<br />Suit: Other than you are fat, can't take the stairs for one floor, and are stuffing your face with a king size Snickers?<br />Less fat friend: Shit, he do know you.<br /><br />--40th & 8thJohnny Virgilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914217086250206369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279920339896233708.post-86309720784868256312009-11-20T12:28:27.075-06:002009-11-20T12:28:27.075-06:00I had that happen at a movie theater some years ag...I had that happen at a movie theater some years ago - I ordered some candy or something and the girl looked at me and said "Do you know how many calories are in these?" Um...fuck you? <br /><br />And yes about the servers...my friend and I went to Pei Wei and it became a running joke between the 2 of us. We'd sit there for 2 minutes and I'd take one sip of my tea...out pops a server "can I get you some more tea?" "Can I get you a new napkin?" "Can I wipe your ass for you?" <br /><br />LEAVE ME ALONE! I'll let you know when I need you.Jodeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08379647193056058152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279920339896233708.post-54601765595879132062009-11-20T11:54:48.457-06:002009-11-20T11:54:48.457-06:00That is pretty rude.

No booze, just the mix. I love bloody mary mix and I am going to take advantage of getting a couple for free in my life. It is part of the cost I pay for the flight. The flight attendant said "Before I get you this I just want you to know how much sodium you are taking into your system." I am well aware of my nutritional intake. Now give me my mix.Aubyn Peachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279920339896233708.post-20463923815745667362009-11-20T09:26:58.276-06:002009-11-20T09:26:58.276-06:00That is rude and I would probably say some smart a...That is rude and I would probably say some smart ass remark back.The Peach Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587235197620014751noreply@blogger.com
