Have you ever considered asking the table next to yours if they’re going to use all of the space on the table? No?
Oh.
When I go eat with my parents, its usually for breakfast at a Mexican diner type of thing. My mom enjoys trying different types of food, so she makes sure that we all pick a different type of food, so we can all try each other’s food. I’m used to it by now, people eating out of my plate, and my dog has tried to take advantage of that several times.
But aside from everything coming in enormous portions, they also come with side plates. A plate for your toast, for your pancakes, for your soup, and for any dipping sauces. And since its a Mexican restaurant, your salsa. Now take into consideration that your food will come in large oval plates, and that there is also a ketchup bottle, a napkin thingy, salt and pepper, sugar packets, jam little container things, creamer, and more hot sauce… these guys should really adopt those holder things that make your table a double decker type of thing, have you ever seem the pizza holders? They’re like a metal rack type of thing. So that your plates can go under the darn thing.
Anyway, so it seems like we have a bit of a space issue there.
And then there you are sitting in front of an entire table full of food and think that everyone else is staring at your table. I once had to put the toast next to me on the booth seat. The waitress laughed at me.
The takeaway: either learn to balance food on top of other food, or tell the waitress you need a table for 6 when there are only three of you.

Speaking of food, I just spent 11 bucks on a chicken sandwich from a Burger King at an airport. How have you been ripped off at airports?

Your new blog is cool, Edwin! I’m definitely not one of those who have been following your awkward list from day 1. But as a cyber acquaintance (it should be a term, right?), I’m happy that you figured out what you want to do and even had the guts to do it. Looking forward to your new adventures. Oh, and if you ever come to Vietnam, especially Saigon, give me a shout.
I really appreciate your comment, Blacko.. thank you SO MUCH! Seriously, you made my day.
And it should definitely be a term, you’re right, haha. Oh and of course, I’ll give you a heads up if I’m ever around 🙂
