Overheard at The Restaurant last night.
New Runner: "Table 5... oh, yeah. The one with the guy picking his nose?" Waitperson: "Is he still doing it?" New Runner: "Yep." Waitperson: "Good God." Posted by Foodwhore at May 5, 2006 01:22 PM
Reminds me of an evening at one of our favorite restaurants. My sweetie and I were seated very close to the wait station, and enjoyed evesdropping as the waitstaff talked about other customers. Typically, I'd frown on doing so within earshot of any customers, but I just love the place and the staff so much, it was more entertaining than offensive.

Cause he musta still been hungry!! Posted by: Jen at May 5, 2006 04:49 PM oh my god, the things that poor servers have to deal with! i am SO thankful to be out of that position! btw, I love your blog! it keeps me laughing! Posted by: amanda at May 6, 2006 03:52 AM I think I'm going to be...*runs to the bathroom* Posted by: Caroline at May 6, 2006 06:27 AM No apologies for nose pickin'. Posted by: Walter at May 6, 2006 05:11 PM I think you need a new category to file stories under: "bodily functions" Posted by: Jess at May 7, 2006 03:44 PM You get all the picky guests. Posted by: kitchen hand at May 7, 2006 08:47 PM Enough!!! Get back to the real writing! You can post a nose-picking, butt-scratching, food-sneezing, floor-spitting entry every day, and it will be gross every time. (I love it, but can't you find a new topic?) Posted by: steph at May 8, 2006 01:24 AM People are pigs. And I'm not just saying that because I spent the weekend cleaning boogers off the bathroom wall of our rental house after the DINK tenants moved out. Seriously, wouldn't you clean that up before you moved out? Especially if you have no kids to blame it on? Posted by: Barb at May 8, 2006 02:43 AM Hmmmm..."butter and boogies"... Bah-ha-ha-ha..... Posted by: Anni at May 8, 2006 12:17 PM Whull, geez. Maybe the guy has nose cancer or something? Maybe he's nosecally challenged and can't help leaving his finger lodged ever so tightly. Biggles Posted by: Dr. Biggles at May 8, 2006 12:47 PM Loved this! I worked for years as a hotel convention planner. I can say that I believe every word since one year we had a truckers' Christmas party where one blitzed guy mistook an alcove in the convention center for the men's bathroom urinal. Yuck! And along with Kaphine's comment I LOVE to eavesdrop on the waiters or just dish with them. I have my favorite haunts and usually get to know the wait staff to the point that they come over and tell me right out what obnoxiousness people are doing. I find it entertaining...now that I'm no longer in the business. Posted by: Glenna at May 8, 2006 02:30 PM It's posts like this that remind us all - when you think no one is looking...someone is actually watching. And, usually with a camera to record your sorry ass for America's Funniest Home Videos. Posted by: Kat at May 9, 2006 12:36 PM Just be glad they weren't talking about the chef.
