People Would Rather Be Ignored By Waiters Than Be Smothered
According to a new survey of the "Top 5 Annoying Things Waiters Do," people voted that they would rather be IGNORED by their waiter than have an over-attentive one.
Am I the only one who COMPLETELY disagrees with this statement?! At least with an over-attentive waiter you get everything you want. Nothing is worse to me than being totally ignored. I once had a waitress who completely disappeared and NEVER refilled my drink and it was just the worst experience.
Also on the list:
- Bad body odor
- Coughing
- Getting "too familiar" with you
In conclusion, appreciate your good waiters/waitresses, because you could have it so much worse :)
