If I order an appetizer it means I’m friggin’ hungry and I would like to have a little bite before the rest of my food comes, so don’t fucking bring me my appetizer WITH my dinner or even worse, a few minutes after you’ve already brought my food. Are we clear?
If you’re running behind ask me if I still want it. Chances are I’ll say ‘Hell no.’ We all know that we shouldn’t order an appetizer anyway because then we’re not hungry enough for dinner so if you bring it with my dinner it’s as if I ordered TWO dinners. Jesus people.
(Afterthought: and if I ask for dipping sauce for something, most likely it’s because I don’t want to eat what I have without the sauce. Know what this means? If you don’t bring it to me until the end of the meal, my food will be cold because I’ve waited. Or if I couldn’t wait, then I’m one cranky bitch because I just ate a meal without a key ingredient. Anyone who knows me knows it’s all about the sauces. I order based on sauces and side dishes.)
Jesus, just one foul-mouthed rant after another from you these days. That’s my department, missy!
Amen, sister. Proper timing of appetizers is essential. I HATE when I don’t have enough time between my apps and my meal! My tip plummets if my appetizers are tardy or I don’t get my precious tar-tar sauce. If my food is dicked with, somebody’s gonna pay… 🙂
I second that! Scott gets so irritated with me because I throw such a fit about sauces and timing of delivery! My thing is…I like to dip just about everything in ranch dressing and it is my opinion that a lot of other people do to. So, wouldn’t make sense that they just bring a side of ranch with anything dippable and save themselves the time of having to go back and get it??? BUT NOOOOOOOOOOO….I always have to ask for it and sometimes I have to ask TWICE!!!!!!!!!!
I agree. It is an appetizer for a reason. It is to come before your meal. Duh! What is with these people?
So you eat with that mouth? mmm. you still are a sexy b.
I love sauce too. 😉 You know what else is a pet peeve: Getting the bill. Then having to wait for the waiter to come back to pick up the bill. Then having to wait for the waiter to bring back the bill with possible change or to sign. If I know the price, bring the bill take my card ASAP and lets get this bouncy game over with. Drives me nuts! We have a life people. I’m full…I need to get up and move no just sit on my ass. I think there should always be full, self-serve bar for condiments, soda pop, and pickles!!!
i really hate waiting for the bill myself. katie, shoot me an e-mail and we’ll catch up. jeff m. just sent me a link to this blog thing, i thought i’d see what you’ve been up to.
The only thing worse than getting your appetizer with your meal is being trapped at the restaurant wishing that someone would notice that you stopped eating an hour ago and you just want the bill so you can leave the awful place! Those are the times that you wish you had a pocket full of cash instead of credit cards so you can dump the exact change, no tip and walk out the door.
