Why Why WHY Do People Who Have No Experience Working In A Popular Sit-down Restaurant Feel The Need To

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

Now... I'm not saying I'm prepared to overthrow the government when the time comes.... But I'm part of Gen Z, was raised on Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and The Hunger Games, and I detest being told what to do in an authoritative way so.....

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

Me: I'm happy cause I got coffee *gestures to my Frappuccino*

Black Coffee Person: thAtS nOt CoFfEe it'S jUsT mILK wItH cofFfeE fLAvOriNg

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.

This week's episode of Human Brains Are Weird: READING

I personally get really into reading. When I read I get taken into a different world, I watch the scenes playing out and I love the loves of the characters. I'm surprised when they're surprised, angry when they're angry, sad when they're sad, happy when they're happy, etc.

But others aren't like that.

To some others, reading is just comprehending words on a page. They aren't attached to the characters because they're just words on a page thG someone came up with. Everything in the book is inconsequential because it's just a book.

I don't understand though. I've never understood why people say reading is boring. I've never understood how other people aren't transported to these other worlds.

I've gotten to quite a few twists and emotional scenes in the book I've been reading (*cough* Song of Achilles *cough*) and everytime I express it to my boyfriend his response is "its just words on the page" and I know that but also I am reading this real-time and I feel what he feels and dear gods it is painful.

The human brain is just weird.
