Why I'm not a waitress

Dear Man at the Restaurant Sunday,

You have singlehandedly reminded me why I will never become a waitress and why all waitron should be tipped based on the number of stupid demands made by the customer.

It was bad enough when your server brought you the tea pitcher for a refill and you told him, "Please pour it so I don't get any more ice in my cup. I want to maximize the amount of liquid in there."

Nerd.

But it was even worse when your server came with a second round of refills five minutes later ... He was extra vigilant in making sure no ice polluted your precious cup when you rudely asked, "Could you give me some ice?" And when he meekly protested that you'd just asked for no ice, you said (as if he should have known this all along), "Of course I need ice! Can't you see it's all melted?"

You, Mr. Man at the Restaurant Sunday, get a big gold star for being lame. And I hope you're involved in an ironic ice-related accident like an avalanche or a melting ice floe or an overactive ice dispenser on your refrigerator door. Meanie.

Vin Diesel from xXx is one of the few characters to escape an avalanche..realistically.

Nothing else in that flick came close though..

I waitressed for an entire day in high school, and gah, I would sell my soul before doing that again.

...I hope the waiter spit in his food.

I feel so bad for anybody who works in the food service industry, be it sit-down restaurants, fast food, or whatever. For some reason, the assholery really gets out of hand.

Forget spitting, I hope the waiter pissed in his food.
