What Would You Do?

OK, here’s the scenario. Last weekend, some friends and I were out to eat. I ordered a cheeseburger that looked amazing on the menu, and when it showed up, it looked equally amazing! My first bite seemed a little bit off, as I felt something tugging on my lower lip, I could instantly tell that what I felt was a hair. It was a long, bright, red hair, not naturally red either, this was red-red, and from a box. Not that it matters because any hair is equally disgusting. The waitress came over to ask if we were enjoying our food. I asked her if the cook has long red hair by chance. She laughed and said, “Yes, she’s not even supposed to be cooking today!” I think she automatically assumed that I knew who the cook was. The truth is, I did not know the cook, but I knew that she had long red hair….and I was hoping that she had showered that day because her hair was in my mouth. I showed the waitress the hair, and she apologized and said, “I’ll check back in later.” About 10 minutes later, she came back to the table and asked if there’s anything else we would like, as she dropped the check on the table. No discount, no coupon, no free dessert, no offer to bring me a different burger, just an apology. I guess it was good that I got the apology. I didn’t make a big deal about it. What would you have done?

That’s It, I’m Done
If you’ve listened to my show the last few weeks, I’ve been talking at length about my kidney stone. I had surgery over a week ago to remove the stone, then my urologist put in a stent into my kidney. Well, I finally had that stent removed and everything seems to be good! I do […]

This Time It’s Painfully Different
If you have listened to my ramblings over the past couple of weeks regarding the kidney stone, you’re probably sick of hearing about it. But I can assure you not nearly as sick as I am of dealing with it! I had surgery on Tuesday morning to remove the stone. At least, that’s what I […]

A Cell Phone At How Old!?
I saw a post on Facebook the other day from a guy whose seven year old daughter has a cell phone. I think for most of us, that seems a little young. And the general consensus in the comments section of the post was exactly that. Lots of different opinions were represented! That brings up […]
