If a waiter falls in a forest....
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
I don't know or care.
But...
If a waiter throws a tray of perfectly crafted cappuccinos over himself, soaking his little stubby legs and burning the crap out of his hand and no one is around to hear it, does he make a sound?
You can bet your sweet little ass he does! He squeals, shouts, and generally makes a mess of himself. And then makes the coffees again, but with less love.
So now you know.

If a waitress is holding a tray of beverages and you touch her arm, the tray will fall on your head. She will apologize profusely, and then walk to the back to enjoy a good chuckle.
anonymous: hehehehehehe
Sorry to read about your 'incident'. Hope there weren't too many in the restaurant to witness it!
dave: I was out of sight.....but maybe not sound....people looked at me as if I was a total nutter....
Sure you are a fucking nutter, what are you on about! lol!
dave: some people heard my profanities.......but my unrestrained face of rage kept them from asking how I was.....
I fell last week walking up my front walkway. No one saw me and that's the ONLY thing that made the skinned knee, torn jeans and my friend on the other of the phone that went flying yelling "WHAT HAPPENED?", OK.
Do what we do in the States; sue your employer.
boxer: no it was all my fault.....trying to do too much at once......I moved a coffee and unbalanced the tray which hit the deck.....I was still behind the bar though.....
Ouch.
Did you get the stains out of your shirt? It's a bitch to keep the white ones looking fresh.
medbh: always bring a spare.....it;s the only way when you are as clumsy as me......but I couldn't shift the smell of milky bloody coffee......not pleasant......
That sucks. Especially since cappuccinos are so annoying to make in the first place. At least it wasn't in the middle of the dining room :D
lol! Thank you Manuel - That's just what my dreary Monday morning needed! :)
Ouch. Poor old sausage.
my friend had a similar, except it was piping hot soup and a short sleeved shirt and a clumsy old bag. This soup removed the skin from his wrist. The woman did not even tip.
nica: thank fuckity fuck it wasn't.......that would have been too much......
lottie: I drop stuff and fall for others amusement.....
fmc:hello! hope you're good....
redleeroy: people can be so shit......
I don't believe you wanted to do that.
boy_wonder: no, well deduced....I did not want to that.....I will probably do it again....
How frightful. I suggest maybe it's due to a lack of vital vitamins and calcium in your diet. Bracing walks and the lifting of heavy weights, that's my advice.
Or get someone else to do it.
There's always a sound, usually from someone like me who has heard it ... ...
"Waaayyhaaayyy"
Echoes around the woods!
So not funny now. No laughter only empathy with the waiter. Hoping the burns were treatable and not near the crotchal region.
Went to the hole in the wall pub in Dublin yesterday....quite impressed with the food but especially by the waiters. How do you put up with some of the mongs that come into the restaurant?
picture the scene...
Customer who fancies himself talking to attractive waitress..."where are you from.....Hungary? that's interesting....do you have a boyfriend?" (Anfearbui sighs)......."oh! you do.....he must be a Hungry man.." (Anfearbui dies a little)
What really bugs me is yes if I spill something over myself and scald the skin right off I have only myself to blame where at which point I mutter stupid profanities to myself , but it's when a waiter who bumps into me without looking where they are going and spills the drink that gets me really annoyed.I mean like now I have the other twenty things I have to do on hold just because of some idiot who wasn't watching where they were heading.
Oh aye, passing it off as an accident.
You still can't master the art of juggling cups of coffee.
Start with espresso and work your way up.
One day you will have 8 espressos rotating in midair, then and only then can you progress to the cappuccinos.
Do or do not, there is no try !
Ouch!
Hope it was near the end of your shift. Milky coffee starts to smell sour after mere minutes on your clothes.
If it were your chubby bottom instead of your hand, I'd kiss it better.
