100 Things diners shouldn't do

Let's see if we can make it to 100. I'll start.

1. Snapping fingers - The waiter/waitress didn't tell you there name to be snapped at. Did it occur to you that perhaps they weren't ignoring you, but helping the other folks they was speaking to?

2. Cell phones - In the middle of anything that the waiter/waitress is doing if your cell phone rings, do not hold up your index finger and take the call.

3. Tipping - It's just the way it's done in America. If you want European style dining then go to Europe or prepare to pay a heck of a lot more and receive way worse service.

Have fun y'all.

I finally have a baby so I am now qualified to talk about crying babies. 15 seconds max is the allotted time to head for the door with your crying baby when in a restaurant.


And I for one have see you in action headed for the door.

I once hung around with a guy who refused to use straws too. Isn't that crazy? They would rather put their lips on a glass that god only knows how many other people's lips have been on, fingers have touched, and possibly not cleaned very well than have it be said that they sucked on something. :blink:

This same guy also once asked me to stop smelling the silverware at the old truck stop in DeFuniak.

Maybe smelling the silverware is something diners shouldn't do, but I felt it was necessary....:blush:

So my question is, I understand the whole use straws because god only knows how many peoples lips have been there, but what about the sliver ware?
Its in just as many mouths......
Im just sayin is all.....
