There's nothing better than spending a night out to dinner at one of your favorite restaurants (or bars!), reveling in the food and the service, and those quality after-dinner mints in the little wrappers. Until you run into one of these people:
The Waitstaff Abuser
Thank you for this terrifying peek into your home life.
The Sad Solo Diner
Man, you didn't even bring a book? At least pretend to look at something on your phone! I'm getting anxiety for you.
The Ethnic Menu Over-Pronouncer
Do you really think that by calling prosciutto "pra-shoot" that the Italian waiter will go back to the kitchen and regale the chefs with praise-filled stories of the man at table 16? Also, you're from Wayland, Mass.
The Tip Minimizer
Yes, we understand that you could take out the tax, and that you could penalize her because she brought you a lime instead of a lemon for your sparkling water, but maybe just stop being the worst, and give the poor waitress 20 percent like the rest of us?!?
The Joined-at-the-Hip Couple
So you're really going to sit on the same side of that booth and feed each other food and make cooing noises the whole time, huh?
The Substituter
"I'd like the salmon, but instead of the corn, can I get the braised cauliflower from the steak dish? And instead of the frisee salad, can I get that appetizer you used to have in the '90s, but with a different type of aioli? And instead of the salmon, can I get thrown through the plate glass window in the front of restaurant?"
