BTW:
My mother says the staff gives me dirty looks simply because I'm rude and arrogant (in general), not due to any isolated remark.
She, also, claims the waitress in question is "Ten pounds overweight ... at most."
So, whatever.

No, Ben ...
You see, I had jokingly asked for a
spork ... a joke which
I thought was hilarious, but ultimately lead to much confusion.

Hi M
Maybe it's time to chose a different resturant?

Mademoiselle, I guess the waitress is not as fearful as
the steaks are yummy.

If I'm not mistaken, SmartDog (and I do need to confirm this) ...
the waitress and I had been engaged in a dispute over the choice of silverware.
So, you see, the conflict really was unavoidable.

Disparaging remarks about the wait staff are best kept to oneself until you've left the restaurant. They do bring you your food you know :).

Surgically removed from her after she sits on you.

Good question, Cesium ...
I'll explain all the details of the incident in tonight's post. My best friend, who is coming over a little later, was with me at the time ... so, I'll ask her what she remembers about the night in question.

The problem, Ann ...
is that too much seems to happen to me over the course of each day. I think I may take a few days off (from blogging) just so I can write out the next 50 posts.

The same thing happened to me once!
I called some girl a C-word, TOTALLY under my breath, in a bar, with loud music playing, and evidently SHE didn't like it all that much!
Thank GOD she's not a waitress in this town!!!

so, what, did she serve you a sneezer? and blanche01, funny, most
people 'tip' the waitress but with some of the service i've received over the years, i can see how tripping might actually enhance the dining experience!

it is never a good idea to get on the bad side of a waitress.

If
so, I'll just tack it onto the end here (rather than make it a separate post).

In fact, BlackPearl, I'm likely going to need to take some time off(line).
Just to convert all of my past experiences into "journal form".

While, obviously, such things are

accurately judged (from a critical perspective) in my other blog. (SEE previous post)

Mademoiselle,
I'm interested in what constitutes "best", in film terms. Cinematograhy? Originality? Dialog? I have not see that one btw.
I will, though, keep waiting for the sequel. Did you trip the waitress?

Actually, Blanche ... the story isn't over yet.
P.S. Bergman's Cries and Whispers is the second best film ever made (since 1960).

Mademoiselle,
I am laughing at the image of the waitress lurking behind a ficus tree, glaring at you. I get this visual of Peter Sellers as The Pink Panther lurking and twirling his mustache in true buffoon style.
Not much happened, on the surface, it seems, but Bergman made hugely successful movies out of his family drama.
