To extend your metaphor, the expensive steak restaurant down the street decided to shove their low quality steak down your throat and charge you for the prime filet mignon. Sure, you weren't hungry and didn't even ask for the steak, but now you have to pay for it. And they want to write down what you've eaten.


But that's not what happened. You moved to California. You got a dog. You weren't forced to do either of those things.

Metaphorically, that's walking into the steakhouse, and ordering a steak, and now you're refusing to pay the price on the menu.

Your reasoning? You think the decor they chose for the restaurant is more expensive than you think it should've been, the heating/cooling system was too expensive, their waiters have health care benefits that you think are too generous, and you think rather than buying their meat from a sustainable farm, they should buy their meat from some factory farm, and therefore you feel you shouldn't be "forced" to pay for things you didn't personally choose.

Except, you chose to come into the steakhouse, and ordered a steak from them...

Fools! He asked the servant for a Grape/Fruit Soda. Those are purple. It's like what went down with the Van Halen brown M&M rider. 50 proved the waiter wasn't really listening.

Title is funnier than the video. We can probably all relate to the overly friendly waiter or waitress. I was hoping for a story more about that.

I should start fighting because I wanted frakkin water with no ice (stupid waiters and waitresses)!

Ya, Ok so bitch at the US for telling other countries what to do but then turn around and tell the US what they need to do. Define Irony.
You will always hit a brick wall when you try to tell others what they should be doing or thinking. I do find it rather offensive that people still think their opinion is worth much more then mine just because I'm from the U.S.
Yes, maybe there is something wrong with the U.S. but I honestly do not think its anymore broken than any other country. Ours just tend to be pointed out much more simply for being who we are.
Not long ago I had to go through Europe for some contract work. Almost everywhere I went if they found out I was from the U.S. I had to hear their Opinion on what the U.S. should be doing. Weather or not I wanted to hear it or not and they got extremely angry if I offered any type of difference of opinion. Hell at one point I actually got up in the middle of a restaurant told the waiter to please shut the hell up and get my check because frankly I was damn tired of it. I'm pretty sure I was more then likely labeled with the stereotype of the rude crass American and at that time I could of cared less.
As for genetically Engineered crops I currently have no opinion on it one way or another. Its not in my sphere of interest at this time.

Sorry quoting system here does not seem to agree with my computer. Still working out why posts garbage more often then not.... Edited and reedited.

^You barge in to defend the honor of the US, fully admitting you know nothing and care nothing about the specifics of the topic. It's this kind of entitled, self-important, blindly uncritical nationalism that probably causes people to dismiss you. That's my best guess as a fellow American.


I agree with daddy. Criticism is simple when looking in from the outside. I bitch about my government just like you guys. But why is it the only acceptable emotion we as Americans can show online shame? I agree our government makes many bad if not terrible decisions or oversights... but we do a lot and have the distinct honor of being the limelight. So when reading people standing on soap boxes making criticisms of the US almost willy-nilly like they know best and it's all just so simple I (and I believe other Americans like me) get a little defensive and a little upset.

Please understand - I'm not saying anyone is actually making unwarranted criticism. It's all about wording, tone, and acceptance of other people's points of view.

Waiter: "Our special this evening is a prime chunk of rotting whale flesh served in a bath of sea water. Cooked one way over a period of many days and weeks using only sunlight itself. The dish comes highly recommended by Mother Nature herself."

Jaws: "nom nom nom nom"

Pardon me waiter, but there's a hare in my drink.

If anyone gets a tip it should be the dishwasher. Waiters don't do shit.

Really? Are we being that naïve? I know many waiters/waitresses/bartenders. They report nowhere near what they make in tips. This is one of the upsides of the job. When you deal in cash, you get to screw the government.>> ^nanrod:

Both in the US and here in Western Canada (all of Canada of course) tips and gratuities are taxable income and it is the responsibility of the recipient to keep track of how much they receive and report them on their tax returns. Consequently the government is not getting shafted out of income taxes by waiters/waitresses any more than by any other occupation.>> ^Sagemind:
