The Incredibly Posh People Who are still, Unaccountably, Waiters

February 19, 2010 Manuel 17 Comments

Three splits in a row. I’m too meh’d to talk about it let alone write about it. Suffice it to say I miss the old days, when people didn’t follow you into the toilet, wait until you had your waiter’s friend out, slap you on the back in a, “we’re all lads together having a piss” kinda way and tell you they are in a hurry and can they have the bill, please.

Christ, it was all I could do not to piss on his cheap and nasty little shoes.

Oh yes, I miss the old days alright…

And they should rename this clip, “Proper Waiter”.

    Not a good time to ask for a special menu to be served for a table of 20 that can’t make it before 10 on Friday night then?
    I expect The Cousin knows your footstep well on nights like this.

    It is tough when you got to go do your thing with the guests in the same place. That has gotta be uncomfortable with people patting you on the back while you are in the middle of it. Good movie.

    Remember, it’s all in the wrist movement.

    That clip was hilarious! As for the bathroom etiquette, no man should ever pat another man on the back while he’s taking a piss. Whether he’s their waiter, or their best friend in the world. Never touch me while my wiener is exposed. Thanks.

    Done.
