Pain

The "lets-get-all-the-waiters-and-sing-happy-birthday" ritual at restaurants is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I had to experience it today as our entire office when to Chili's. I'm traumatized now. (And it wasn't even my birthday.)

And I'm pretty sure this is not a picture of today's event.

I,m not a fan of the birthday whip in the ass either.

Very strange ritual because the people who sing it do not care that it is your flippin b-day, the people around you do not care and just want to get back to their Old timer w/ cheese and the people who are there with you do it just to publicly torture you.

So "PAIN" on all accounts is correct!!!

If you read your Bible very closely you will see where Adam and the Snake sang happy birthday to Eve as she enjoyed a plate of ribs in the garden of Eden....on her first birthday. Its Biblical don't try and fight it.

Waiters singing Happy Birthday in restaurants.

Yes.... I can see how that would turn into an argument over religion.

Idiots

It really is a dubious bit of fun to tell the waiter that it is the birthday of someone in your group when it really is NOT and tell everyone but the victim what will happen at some point during the meal. Most of the time the victim will not say anything until the waiters leave.

Incidentally, does anyone know when the moronic, little bigots are going back to middle school?
