Re: Hate Thread
British people at Chinese restaurants and takeaways.
Don't you dare order chips. Shaming the whole group with that crap.
And stop sitting up straight floundering around with your chopsticks, just pick up the bloody bowl, put it to your mouth, and shovel the rice in.
Also, why do you have to treat everything like it has to be a set meal on one plate. It's a buffet for petes sake. Take a bit of this and that, eat it, and then get some more. Try something else. Then something else. Have a bit of everything, and finish with your favourite. Just please don't fill one plate with a mountain of a single item or two, and get fed up of it halfway through.
When my siblings and I order a takeaway, we just pool how much we're willing to spend, and then grab a bit of everything with what we have, and treat it like a home buffet. You end up with far more variety, and as long as you like even at least half the items on the order, you have more than enough food. It's quick, easy, and hassle free. Or it should be.
Tried to do this for our group of friends at newyears, carefully explaining how we were going to do it. Asked people if there was anything they wanted to make sure made it onto the order list. Barely anyone friggin understood, and made it hell to arrange. Everyone starts asking "which one is mine? I ordered black bean/foo-yung/chicken." etc
Dude, we ordered THREE portions of assorted blackbean dishes. Have a bit of all of them, and feel free to have the rest as well. But no, when we're not looking he picks up one of blackbean pots, and wanders off to the corner with it to have that and nothing else. Then latter complains that he preferred one of the other blackbean dishes. One that we had ordered and was right there on the table the entire time.
Just... grrr. ¬_¬
