TLDR: I crumble under social pressure in the strangest of ways.
I was having dinner and everything was going great. The food was good, the small talk was funny, and most of all our waitresses was extremely nice. At the end my parental figure gives them her card and walks off to go use the restroom. While she’s gone the waitress comes back and says there was a mixup with the card and now I have to pay for the meal (It wasn’t that bad). So I do and then I sign the receipt and she asks me “so, where are you from?” “Oh um I’m from ________.” “Oh that’s great I’ve always wanted to visit there. How long are you staying here?” (It was at this moment that I started to panic. Why is she breaking script, why is she still talking to me, why is she so close to me, WHERE IS MY PARENT?????) “umm just one more night…” “oh that’s so sad… well I hope you come back soon.” “Um yeah… thank you so much for the food, I think I’m getting a phone call though, I’m so sorry.” And then I immediately left and evaporated into the next plain of existence in sheer embarrassment.
Moral of the story: when people go off script I don’t know what to do. (unless I know the person well) (Also I get nervous hiccups lmfao)
Also Leo on the off chance you see this and were thinking about featuring it, please don’t I prefer to lurk in the shadows ;>
