Your "say what???" for the night.

[Evil Genius]

DH and I were at our local Applebee's tonight when they sat a couple next to us. Waitress comes by and the man orders the steak and shrimp combo. The waitress asks how he would like his steak cooked.

His reply "Oh on the grill or in the oven will be fine."


Dh and I just look at each other like he really didn't say that did he???

The waitress to her credit, didn't skip a beat and asked if he would like it rare, medium or well done.

Some people always have to be a comedian...huh...

I wonder how many LAME times this jerk said this to a waitress....

AND for the record he answered WHERE to a question that she asked HOW???????..... ........ ........

A) The guy was attempting to be funny.

B) The guy doesn't get out much.

Awful thing was, I don't think he was trying to be cute or funny. We think he really thought that was the answer.

OK, now that is sad....

I am going out on a limb here and IF he felt he needed to answer the question THAT way, yup, this dude is NOT getting out enough!!!

What did the person say that was with him when he attempted to suggest to the waitress ... grill or oven????...

His SO just sat there waiting to give her order. It was just weird. Of course now dh and I look at each other and ask "How would you like your steak cooked?" and then crack up.

My grandfather is 90 and bless his heart, suffering from dementia. When we go out to eat and a wait person asks how he wants his food, his answer is "on a plate." We're not sure if he's trying to be funny or that's just his gut reaction. We laugh, then he laughs, so it's all good.

Hey now, give the guy a break. He may have just had a "duh" moment. I dated this guy who did the same thing one time. We went to Red Lobster and he order salmon or mahi mahi, or something. The waiter asked how he would like it cooked and he said, "medium well."

He then turned red and said, "Wait, that's not right. Grilled please." He was SOOOO embarrassed. He just had a brain fart.

I'm thinking his SO will ask him if you want me to grill your steak outside or do you want me to cook it on the stove. I know when I tell DH that we are having burgers he will always ask if I want him to grill them outside or am I going to cook them on the stove.

While its a strange thing to say in a restaurant situation, being the queen of the pre-senior moments, I can see me saying something bazaar like that!

We were eating out with another couple recently and when the waitress took our drink order, the guy said, "I'd like a Coke without a straw." I thought he was going to say, "a Coke without the ice." It was definitely one of those 'what did he just say?" moments.

Everytime I eat at my local Applebee's I expect the local football team to come in after losing a tough game

Years ago when I was in my 20's, I was friendly with a couple who were in their 50's. The guy was wonderful but, let's just say, he was somewhat lacking in the social graces. I wasn't with them when this happened (probably a good thing ) but here's the story. He and his wife went out to a fancy restaurant. After sharing a nice meal they were given finger bowls. So the wife dips her fingers in the water. When he saw this he couldn't believe it and screamed at her.... Kitty, get your fingers out of the soup!

At Red Robin I once ordered a "chicken burger medium". I was seriously debating between beef and chicken. Everyone else at the table ordered beef and stated thier cooking preference and I just followed the same pattern.

My MIL orders her steaks "cremated". Then gets all "superior" and patronizing when she has to explain that she essentially wants it charred.

At the Bath & Body Works a lady came running in and was in a huge hurry. " I need some Split Pea!!" The clerk not missing a beat and still helping her current customer says: I am sorry we don't sell soup, you can get that at the wal mart next door!! The lady stands there and says "no she said to get it here", clerk " Mam we have never carried soup, we sell lotions and soap" The lady says " I Know it is here, I'll just look for it. She comes up to the register a few minutes later with.........................Sweet Pea lotion...I was about to fall on the floor with laughter!!

This reminds me of a time when I went shopping with an old boyfriend. After the cashier rang up the items, she said, "Will that be cash, check or charge." My boyfriend immediately says, "Free please."
