If There Is One Thing I Can SayI Learned From My 10th Grade World History Class Is That France Is Not

If there is one thing I can sayI learned from my 10th grade World History class is that France is Not Having A Good Time

As someone who lives in America, I complain about America all the time. I complain about the history, the presidents, the gun laws, safe to say I'm not very patriotic..... Until someone from a different country insults America online. (It's usually Brits that I see though I don't wanna generalize) It goes like this.

Me: *hates on America*

Some prick online: *Makes tasteless complaint about the USA*

Me: *spontaneously combusts and transforms into a middle aged white guy on the 4th of July decked out in all American flag attire and an eagle coming to land on my shoulder* USA USA USA USA!!!!!!!!! *Cue American Rage Yell*

Why why WHY do people who have no experience working in a popular sit-down restaurant feel the need to comment on EVERY. LITTLE. THING. when it comes to a restaurant?

Like I get it if you ordered 30 minutes ago and it hasn't come out yet or if the food was crappy or the waiter/waitress was rude right? But being all

"Why is there a 15-30 minute wait? I can see tables just over there that are free. This is terrible service and I'm leaving and never coming back"

like d u d e you don't know the situation. Those tables might be reserved for the group of 20 coming in later. Or a bunch of smaller groups. Or they're short staffed and can't seat people at all the spots because the person who is supposed to wait that table is a no call no show or no one picked up the shift????? You don't know??? So just shut up???? It's not like it's in the control of the 17 year old hostess that you're ranting loudly in front of, making her tear up and embarrassing your kids and your wife who has been a waITRESS FOR 10 + YEARS.

I admit, I've never worked in a restaurant. BUT that man is my stepdad and goddammit he just needs to shut up. I may not have officially worked at a restaurant but I've helped my mom around enough to know the inner workings of what goes on like jeez man be more considerate.

He also decides to criticize my mom's decisions when it comes to work. But that's another conversation

Listen-I just think a lot of our problems could be solved if everyone shut the fuck up, took a chill pill, and just had a discussion.

Not a fight. Not an argument. Not even a debate. (Though those last two are still healthy) just a normal discussion.

"Here's my opinion. This is why i think that. I found this evidence that helps to prove my point further."

"I hear your opinion, here is mine and all of my gatherings."

"I'm not telling you you're wrong but that source comes from a blog and doesn't have a reliable source connected to it, do you have a better source? I can't form my opinion without a viable source."

I know it sounds stuffy but jeeze just fucking talk to each other???? It's not that hard????

ALSO WHILE U HAVE YOUR ATTENTION

NOT EVERYTHING YOU DISAGREE WITH IS A SLIGHT AGAINST YOU

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU DISAGREE WITH

(This obviously doesn't pertain to every circumstance. I believe everyone deserves rights and such but this isn't about that. It's about unnecessary aggression and drama)

Just sit the fuck down and chill out.

There has got to be a website like thesaurus where you can input an entire sentence and it dumbs it down for you. Like please tell me. I understand all those words separately but the sentence isn't sentencing

I wish people cared about the things I care about because I just want to info dump but I can never find someone who will just let me info dump without either interrupting to say they don't care or give input when i don't want any

And if you think I can just ask for that, need I remind you that I Cannot
