1.) You should not drive around for 30 minutes looking for a restaurant that doesn't have an eternally long wait.
2.) You should not be forced into eating at a BBQ joint that has crotch-less chaps hanging on the wall.
(For real, people. Crotch-less chaps.
Need I say more?)
3.) Your waiter should not make you sit at your table for 35 minutes with no food and then come over and say (this is a direct quote), "Hey, um... can you tell me what y'all ordered again?"
(*Can I just say that the looks on our faces at this point must have been priceless. If I were that waiter, well, let's just say I would have been afraid. Very afraid.)
4.) You should not start crying.
5.) You should not ask for your check and 2 boxes the second your food gets to the table (55 minutes after you were seated) without even getting to take one bite.
6.) You should not have to wait until after putting your children to sleep (at 9:15) to take your first bite of food.
7.) You should not be up half the night with a stomach ache because you inhaled your grease-soaked "dinner" as fast as is physically possible.
So sick.

Mission accomplished.

oh no! that is pretty bad! Way to have a good attitude about it though.
What a sad night. Luke owes you 10 make-up dates for that one.
As a side note, all chaps are "crotch-less." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaps
Aren't chaps suppose to be crotch-less?

Well, good to know. I was pretty sure they were all crotch-less, but "crotch-less chaps" just sounded so much better than "chaps." Either way, they shouldn't be hanging on a restaurant wall.
maybe I've just been in California too long, but what the crap are "croch-less chaps"?
oh and by the way...that's what you get for living in Iowa...you should move back :)
