Two Random Tales
1. Conversations with John's Grandma
John's grandma is one of the most unintentionally funny people I know. Yesterday over dinner she brought up that she heard we got cats and that she doesn't like cats. and the conversation played out like this
Gma--who is going to take care of the cats when you go out of town?
Me--John will
Gma--You think HE can take care of the cats
Me--Well Grandma he has to learn sometime. I figure he'll learn with the cats for when we have kids.
Gma--You should've gotten a plant!
2. The Wierdest Dinner Ever
So John and I head to this Indian restaurant in Tallahassee (Wine & Curry). It's actually a restaurant /Piano Bar. Now I don't know how they stay in business because the two times we have been there the place was just empty. The first time, our service was awful, they were so slow which was wierd since it was empty. The second time well...
It started when we walked in and sat down the old guy (as he shall be called for the tale) seats us without menus and then takes a good five minutes to get them to us.
After we look over the menus we decide what we want. Eventually he crawls back to our table. There were literally three tables of people (each with two people) and yet it still took a while. I ask how many samosas come with an order and he says two. John and I converse for a second and we both really want samosas so we ask for two orders. Old guy looks at us and says, "No, that's too much, just get one." NOW I am just a lil shocked and John and I converse again and I spit out "No we really want two orders." Old guy relents, we order our entrees and then he says. "You will have water" and leaves our table. Drink options were not a choice this evening. The rest of the service was slow and terrible, culminating in John having to flag down Old Guy and talk across the restaurant to get his attention. We saw another table literally get up and ask him for the check to his face. We won't be going back.
