Yes, I can tell your glass is empty. This table I am currently at is patiently waiting for me to greet them and get their drinks. I will be with you as soon as I can.

4. "I don't like this table, can we sit over here."

Giphy

Not sitting at the table the host brought you to can create issues for everyone else who is currently working. Someone could get double sat or skipped causing them to lose money.

5. "I am severely allergic to gluten" (When you aren't)

Giphy

I can tell you are not allergic to gluten when you have already asked me for more bread twice.

6. "I am in a rush but can I have a well-done ribeye"

Please do not order a ribeye well-done if you are in a rush.

Giphy

Please do not order a ribeye well-done if you are in a rush. Think of something that can be cooked fast such as pasta.

7. "Where is my ___?"

Giphy

Your server will be more than happy to accommodate your wants. A please and a thank you can go a long way and even make it more enjoyable to serve you.

8. "Is the salmon good?"

Giphy

Restaurants like to serve food that is good, if it was not any good it would not be on the menu. The server will more than likely tell you everything on the menu is good even if they like something else more.

9. "It's too cold in here."

Giphy

I am sorry you are cold but there is only so much we can do to keep both the customers and the workers happy. Although you may be cold, remember all the cooks who are standing by a grill, I am sure they are hot.

10. Interrupt your sever as they introduce themselves

Giphy

This is the first time you are meeting each other and it would be the nice to wait till they are done with their introduction before interrupting them and asking where the bread is.

11. "I know it is past lunch time, but can we order off of the lunch menu?"

Giphy

If you want lunch menu prices, come at lunch menu times.

Although there are many downsides to being a sever, I love being a server. It is a great way to interact with a variety of different people and make great tips while you are at it.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

This article is not for the Almost Short Friends, i.e. the 5'3" and 5'4" Friends. No no, this is for the Actually Short Friends, i.e. the Barely Scraping 5'1" and shorter Short Friends.

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."

3. "You guys all look the same."

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

7. "You're wasting your money."

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

1. Not wearing makeup is like stepping in a time machine

2. "Wow, how tall are you?!"

3. You don't realize how much you're craning your neck until you talk to someone as short as you.

4. Hugging your friends is just asking for a face full of boob for you and makeup on their shirt for them. Awkward.

5. You face retail discrimination
