You guys are chatting and enjoying yourselves, only for dumbass waiter to come over and interrupt your nice talk with &#8220;how&#8217;s it going? everything okay?&#8221; I mean, not even taking an order or anything, probably after the meal arrived. Whatever. So you say &#8220;we&#8217;re fine, thanks&#8221; and hopefully he&#8217;ll scram before you forget what you were about to say to your friend.<\/p>\n<p>Only for the waiter to come back only like five minutes later and ask the same dumbass question. &#8220;Is everything alright? Can I get you anything else? How about some coffee?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>STFU, n00b! What a tempting thing to say, except you know better because if you piss him off, next thing you order will have a disturbing ammonia flavor. So you just have to grit your teeth, again say &#8220;no thanks, we&#8217;re fine&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;ll happen again a few more times.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, this did happen to me a few times. Specific incident was about a year ago, and I was at a local Greek restaurant having lunch with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. Granted, there weren&#8217;t all that many people in the place at the time, so the waiter was probably bored, but still! I was trying to talk to my friend about something important, or at least the conversation steered toward a subject I was quite interested in. Only for the moron to come on over and decide to interrupt and ask if we needed anything. By the time he went away, we&#8217;d kind of lost our train of thought in the conversation. And the subject was changed. Grrr.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, it&#8217;s common courtesy. It was obvious we were busy talking. If we weren&#8217;t talking, then fine, come over and bug us. But when we&#8217;re clearly immersed in a conversation, then go away, asshole!<\/p>\n<p>Idiots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now for an exquisite, tableclothed edition of&#8230; YOU SUCK!!!!
