10 ways to confuse/annoy people at a restaurant

Thu Jan 13, 2005 10:55 pm

I was inspired to write these while at a restaurant for my birthday. Now, a few weeks later, I have decided to write them down! :P

1. When the waiter leads you to your table, zigzag around, hidings behind other customers until you get to your table.
2. When the waiter asks you for your order, glance around you in a shifty way and whisper your order in Pig-Latin.
3. Start talking to the people at the table beside you.
4. Whenever a waiter walks by with a meal, crinkle your nose in disgust and say "They won't like it."
5. When the waiter asks you what you want for a side dish, wink and say "We'll just have to wait and see, won't we."
6. Right when the waiter comes with the bill, stand up and say hastily "I need to go to the bathroom!" Don't come back for 30 minutes.
7. Run on the spot while you eat. When people stop and look at you, say "Do you have any idea how many calories are in this food? It'll take forever to burn it off!"
8. Order a bowl of soup. Take a long time eating each spoonful; be sure to slurp loudly (This works for spaghetti too).
9. When another customer gets up, get up too and start following them around the restaurant. If they notice you, look away shiftily. When they look away, resume your pursuit.
10. Go up to a random person, offer them your leftovers and say "Want the rest?"

Does anyone have anything to add to the list?

11. Declare that you dont know what to order and ask the people at the next table if you can taste their food.

Mainly to annoy the waiter:

12. Each time the waiter comes back to ask you if you're ready to order, say no. Repeat until 5 minutes before the resturant closes, then order everything on the menu.

13. Keep finding something wrong with your food. (For example, tell the waiter you didn't want ketchup, then when he comes back with the new food without it, say you DO want ketchup.)

Bwahaha... :roflol: I like these lists... I love doing the things on them! I'm going to do 1, 7, and 9 as soon as I can!

lol! :roflol: These are hilarious.

14. If they give you a bowl of the tea thing to wash your hands in, drink it, then ask for more.

15. Order some kind of Ice Cream dessert, when the waiter brings it to you, tell them its too cold and that they should go re-heat it.

16. When led to your table rearrange all the cutlery and napkins then walk out

17. Duck under the table everytime the waiter walks past, make sure to avoid eye contact

19. When paying, ask the waiter how much tip should be given. The waiter would normally become disconcerted and say no tip is required, then you can get away without tipping. :evil:

Unless they are smart, and say, 'However much you would like, sir/madam'. Of course... then you just give them a penny! :P

Or looked shocked, stare at them for a few minutes, then start shouting that the waiters are begging for money.

20. Zigzag around the restaurant whilst humming the Mission Impossible theme tune. When people stare at you, look out of the window and whistle If You're Happy And You Know It.

Ooh, that made me think of something. :P

21. Wear a wide-brimmed hat, dark glasses and a high-collared shirt. When the waiter comes, speak in a sinister voice into your handphone, "Target sighted, Sir. I have the situation under control." Then turn to the waiter and ask, "How many exits are there in this restaurant?" :evil:

22. Add an ith to each work like Waterith pleaseith. Or, sureith I'llith takeith theith saladith.
