buffalo wild wing, so crazy!
July 12, 2008 
two good moments from buffalo wild wing yesterday (aside from my so very very brief stint in 1st place in trivia.. – hey, apparently it pays [in brief digital fame] to read trashy celeb blogs).
waitress who at one point walked away without taking my order after taking that of the two guys’, and then clarified our request for trivia controllers by asking “one or two?” (for a party of three) gave me a semi-lengthy explanation for continually leaving me out by saying, “i’m sorry, i thought he was ordering for you when i took y’all’s orders, and then i thought you and your boyfriend were going to share trivia controllers.”
aw. honey. please stop. don’t try to help the situation. i figured you were just spacey and forgetful but now i’m sad and disappointed. so you thought my boyfriend was ordering food for me ……. and then you thought i was just gonna share a controller with him, like i can’t come up with my own damn trivia answers!!! buuuuulllllllllshit! i’ll have you know lady that i was ahead of him on the ranker for a while. a short while but dammit, i’ll take it.
second awesome (actually pretty damn amazing) moment at BWW:
nate: i have a surprise for you.
eileen: what is it?
nate: ethan knows.
eileen: (to ethan) what is it?
ethan: (listening to the song (“Sex”) which is playing, and not paying attention) it’s “Sex.”
so, i have been told in the past by various parties that a guy is supposed to order for the girl on a date. this is apparently going along the same lines as opening doors, pulling out chairs, etc.
i don’t have a problem with opening doors and stuff, but ordering her food for her?? this particular convention has never made any sense to me, so i have conveniently chosen to ignore it. so i’m curious … do people actually do this? how many people do this, or have had it done to them? and, is it actually romantic? or are women everywhere secretly thinking, “wow, i wonder where he got that idea from.”
the only time i order for other people is when i’m at the bar getting a round, or when i’m at, like, mcdonald’s, and only for the sake of efficiency. or when i’m trying to take over the bill, in my ever so chinese ways.
who told you this?! what gender are they and how OLD are they? this maneuver might have been cute in 1860 when the choices were meat pie and the other meat pie.
this is NEVER ok, except under the circumstances you already said (and in all those cases, it’s pretty clear that you have their consent, you know what they want, and/or you’re doing them a favor, etc) or like if she gets up to go to the bathroom and is like “if the waitor comes back tell him i want [this].” otherwise, doesn’t matter if you ask her what she wants and then you speak for her when the waitor comes or if you flat out make the decision for her (which is just asking for a fork in the eye).
one time, my family and i were out with this other family, and their son (who grew up all entitled ‘cos they told him he was a genius) ordered for ALL of us.
mom and i were appalled.
good. i just thought i’d make sure i wasn’t in the dark, and that the world wasn’t as crazy as it seemed.
i have actually been told this by MULTIPLE people, which is scary. thankfully, i am stubborn enough to have ignored them all. i just think of what i would do to someone who did that to me. kung fu panda baby.
