I haven't actually thrown food at anyone, but there was one incident some
yeas ago. David, who is as picky as they come, and I were in a good
Chinese restaurant where he had not eaten before. The only dish he will
oder is Lemon Chicken, and only if it is the chicken with the lemon sauce
and no vegetables included. When our order came, his Lemon Chicken came
surrounded by a beautiful assortment of asian type vegetables. He
immediately began bitching about it. About a quarter way through the meal
I had enough of his whining. I got up and dumped his platter of Lemon
Chicken in his lap, along with a huge bowl of rice. Then I left the
restaurant and drove home. He came home hours later in a taxi. Not a word
was every spoken of it, but he doesn't bitch about things like that
anymore. He's either careful to order it to his specifications, or he eats
around what he doesn't like.
