Yesterday I was in our local bakery coffee shop having a coffee and a
muffin while I did my crossword puzzle. A woman started whining to the server about having to wait so long for her lunch saying that she had been waiting for over half an hour. She had come into the place after I had picked up my stuff at the counter and sat at a table. I was only about half way through my muffin and crossword and had barely started on my coffee, so that reinforced my time estimate that she had been there less than 10 minutes. Pity the staff who have to put on a pleasant face to deal with people like that. |

I wasn't bothered so much about her complaining to the server. What annoyed me more was that she lied about the time. She had not been there for half an hour. She had only been there for about 10 minutes. They make great sandwiches there, and there were other orders being prepared. Her sandwich arrived about two minutes later. |

But that was because he was the strongest looking man she'd ever seen. What else was the nun to do? I'm thinking about a spinach diet myself now. |
