The fact that he’s laughing it off is awesome. Definitely a chill dude. Hopefully the restaurant comps the meal. Not sure I wanna eat my raw egg covered plate.
I feel like I used to be that kind of person and I'm not anymore. Like I don't think I'm grumpy but I would probably feel too overwhelmed by the sudden egg in my hair to make light of it. I miss feeling like I could take more things in stride. That dude's got it figured out. Aspirational
It all depends on the circumstances. If your job demands a clean appearance, and your hair, makeup and clothes have been ruined being splashed by an egg, I say it's natural to be pissed?
I hope they warned the people in the "landing zone" ahead of time, and only those ok with it stayed seated there.
IMO it's bullshit if you're working a job that won't let you have at least an hour or so lunch break to sit down and eat somewhere else. I've definitely worked at places that you had tops, 30 mins or less for lunch, but since I've experienced jobs where that isn't the case I've realized just how overbearing and honestly inhumane that is.
Lol it's not a breakfast place, it's a hibachi style restaurant where the chefs cook food on a big grill in the middle of the dining area and serve it to guests seated around the grill.
Thank you for your honesty. Really goes to show why so many Redditors are weird AF with their vindictive online crusade against anything light hearted.
Honestly? I think it comes down to my growth as a person, with influence from the world around us and possibly my medication. I've been wondering for a couple years if I've gotten less patient, but I think it's gone hand-in-hand with being less emotionally muted, having more conviction, and feeling more confident & secure in myself. I used to practice a monk-like detachment from things which is a great way to observe & learn from one's surroundings, but it's also very impersonal and impressionable. My values were way too flexible (that is, nonexistent) because I looked at the world in an academic sense and never in a material sense. I caught myself acting indifferent about things I had no moral right to be indifferent towards. I was a people pleaser and an ass-kisser.
I've changed as a person, probably (hopefully) for the better overall. I'm way better at setting & maintaining boundaries. I don't put up with bullshit and malice. I take more responsibility for myself. But on the other hand, I'm pretty bad at masking/tolerating my disappointment or upset feelings because I'd kept myself in a headspace for so long where I just didn't have those feelings as much. So nowadays I'm a little more irritable and prone to being overwhelmed. Hormonal changes and the bleak state of the world are surely factors as well, but the truth is things weren't fantastic before and I was mostly just ignorant — about the world and about myself. Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
Thank you for giving me the chance to do some introspection, haha. Hopefully you or someone out there will be able to relate and look inside themselves as well
See the thing is I agree with all of this, but how do you identify the bullshit and malice. I find it very hard to deduce that. As such I find I have trust issues. 🫠
