• Recently, listening to the Kevin & Bean show, there was a discussion about the "rules" in ordering food in a restaurant. Apparently, there is this rule that you are simply not allowed to order the same thing as somebody else in your same table. What?! I've never heard of that before, and personally I think that's kind of a childish rule. Supposedly if you really really want to eat a particular meal, then you better order first. If you know what your eating companion wants, you can "burn" that person by ordering that food first, forcing that person to order something else. Competition in what food you get to eat? Really? When there are countries out there that don't have much to eat at all, this rule is followed by some people out there? You've got to be kidding me. This rule creates problems with ordering a full pizza, a bucket of chicken, all-you-can-eats, etc... Supposedly it's an insult for your dining table to not have a variety of food on it, and that will make the Gods of food angry at you. I'm sorry, but that's just stupid. If you can't accept the fact that somebody else ordered the same thing you have, then you have problems.
