I worked in a chain of expensive restaurants. One day, one of our guests was wearing an expensive watch, and our waiter praised it.

So the guest took it off his hand and gave it to him as a gift.

The next morning he came back to the restaurant. The waiter was back on shift.

He thought that the man had come back to take back his present.

The guest said, “I gave you my watch yesterday, I feel awkward about it.” The waiter handed over the watch, saying, “Here it is, safe and sound.”
And the man replied, “You misunderstood me. It’s not nice to give a secondhand watch.” And he hands our employee a box with a new watch of the same brand. © ChillOut / VK

I used to work in a catering business.

A regular and very well-respected guest came in with a lady and placed an order. Drinks were brought to them, they were sitting, cooing, and waiting for their food.

Then a woman enters the hall and purposefully goes to their table.

She takes the man’s glass and silently pours the drink on his head. And then she leaves, just as silently.

A friend asked me to help her prepare for her first date (hair, makeup, manicure).

But then her date called her and said that he had some accident and asked to postpone the date. We decided to go to a restaurant ourselves so that the beauty we’d made would not be lost.

At a restaurant, we met that guy with his wife and 2 children.

When he saw us, he and his family moved to the furthest corner.

I was tempted to approach his wife and show her his profile on the dating website. But we decided to stay out of it. © Podslushano / Ideer

When I was 3 years old, my father opened a business and worked 24/7.

He took us to a restaurant as a family once, and the waitress decided to make me laugh.
– Baby, who’s Mummy’s husband?

– Daddy.

– And who’s Daddy’s wife?

I blurted out something that made my parents blush, “Work.” From that moment on, my father spent more time at home. © Overheard / Ideer

I haven’t seen my friend for 6 months, we are sitting in a cafe. She asked me what interest in my life during this time.

My story lasted no more than 2 minutes, my friend managed to yawn a couple of times, and at the end, the guy at the next table said, “Miss, I apologize for interfering, but I feel sorry for you.” © Podslushano / Ideer

Once, as a student, I was sitting with a guy in a cafe.

A popular song was playing on the radio in the background, and then he kissed me. There was nothing serious between us, we broke up after a couple of months.

But it’s been 15 years, and when I hear this song somewhere, I automatically remember, “Oh, Mike and I kissed under this song!” I don’t know why this happened: I didn’t like the song, and Mike was not the love of my life, but for some reason, my brain decided that it was necessary to remember it! © Podslashano / Ideer

A few years ago, I met a perfect woman.

We met on a dating site, chatted for a month, and decided to meet in real life.

We sat down in a cafe and ordered tea and cakes. After about 15 minutes, she said, “Let’s go to my place to eat dumplings.”

So I stayed with her for 3 days, and we were dating for about a year. She later confessed to me that the idea of dumplings was a 100% chance to win over a man she liked.

My girlfriend and I were going to an event last Friday and wanted a small meal beforehand. At dinner time, we went to a Japanese restaurant we frequent.

We both ordered a miso soup and one of their classic rolls (a little over $20 for that and a coke). The waitress scowled at our order and as she collected the menus she said, “Next time, just order online takeout, okay?”

I work in the retail service industry myself and found this an insane comment to make to a customer.

When she put our bill down and collected it with haste and no comment, I decided I was not tipping her at all.

I’ve discussed the situation with my coworkers and a few have commented “That’s rude, but I’d not tip” and judged me for it.

I’m in a cafe, and there’s a woman in her thirties with a child at the neighboring table. She ordered something and was making eyes at me, smiling. I

smiled back.

After the waitress brought their order, she came to me with a payment terminal, saying that the woman was very grateful to me for the treat. I said I wouldn’t pay for it.

Suddenly, this lady starts shouting, “What’s wrong with you? He looked so nice, and now he can’t buy a coffee for a girl and a cocktail for a child, you cheapskate!” I was taken aback.
