Me: “Sir, what can I get for you today?”
Does anyone see how ridiculous that exchange sounds? Trust me, it happens a lot more often than you’d think. Here’s something else about women and their behaviour with men that irks me. Let the man order what he wants! Women order some boring salad that they don’t want, and then they try to force the guy to get whatever real food they really wanted.
Insignificant Guy: “I’ll have the cat-fish.”
Bravo! That’s what most of them say, anyways. Some of the poor saps actually cave and get the burger, even though they hate blue cheese! Okay, here’s the worst type of Insecure Chick. The one that think guys find nitpicky divas to be attractive. I guess they think to themselves, hey, if he sees me make a big fuss over stupid little stuff, he’ll know I’m a strong woman who gets what she wants and won’t take less than the best, and he’ll respect me and marry me and we’ll live happily ever after.
Me: “Here’s the bowl of lemons you asked for, ma’am.”
What these chicks don’t realize is that the guy they are with is rolling his eyes at me, and, the second she goes to the bathroom he will generally apologize for her ridiculous behaviour. He’ll also leave me a huge tip, a lot bigger than he would have left me had she not decided to be a witchy harpy.
The bottom line is, if you recognize yourself in the above, than get some self esteem. Insecure chicks are irritating to everyone around! If you’re going to obsess about whether the waitress is flirting every time the two of you go out to eat, then cook for him instead, because the stress of your jealousy will be the end of your relationship, not a waitress. If you want a blue cheese bacon burger, get one! Just eat half and save the rest for later if you’re worried about the calories. Guys like a woman that actually eats real food anyways. But they don’t like you trying to control what they order, anymore than you would like it if they did. And nobody likes a diva. Nobody.
Very true. These people who insist on ordering food for their partner are control freaks!
These women would have conniptions if the following ever took place with them: Sometimes, Mike (hubby) and I go to this restaurant where he often eats lunch at, alone, during the week. He always sits at the bar, and when we go, we sit at the bar, too. The regular bartender, Kara, is an attractive woman who is about 20 years younger than I am.
So, the first time he took me there, we sat down, and Kara came up to us and said, "Hello, Mike!"
One of those insanely jealous females would have gone over the bend right there.."HOW DOES SHE KNOW YOUR NAME? ARE YOU SLEEPING WITH HER?"
But I have more than a few brain cells to rub together, and I knew that they knew each other due to his eating lunch there a couple of times a week, and tipping well. She was just being friendly with a regular customer. That's part of the job.
Kara did ask if I were his wife, and Mike introduced us. All is cool.
However, I have dated a few guys in the past who were openly trying to pick up the bartender/server, right in my presence. But that's the fault of the GUY, not the server. If that's the way guys like this are going to be, I'd just dump them. And they'd STILL not get a date with that server!
I used to get this all the time. The man will pay with the credit card, yet the signature and writing will look mysteriously like a woman's handwriting and mysteriously I will be getting 5% on those two steak and lobster dinners you racked up with the 2 beers and 2 cosmo's. Lucky for us all, the hateful stares and condescending tone come free. (You're in your 50s and I'm 23! I mean really!)
