Server too busy.

SpookyWriter · Nov 16, 2006

Don't you just hate it when going out for a nice dinner only to discover you wound up with a really busy server? There's nothing more irritating than trying to impress your partner when you have spend most of the evening waving the server down to refill your water or some other task they should do without thinking.

What's your pet peeve with servers?

Stew21 · Nov 16, 2006

***oh nevermind!***

When they drop an ice cube "accidently" down the cleavage. Maybe it's just a West Virginian thing, but god it's annoying. Then they insist on going after it. *shakes head*

DeborahM · Nov 16, 2006

That pretty much says it all.

Another pet peeve is the people who came in behind me gets their server first and is served before my table. I guess this comes from having a restaurant and making sure the servers were at that the table within seconds of the people sitting down.

The over-attentive server...you know..the one who talks too much and always asks you how your food is mid chew

SpookyWriter · Nov 16, 2006

I hate it when your server goes to prepare the final bill and don't return for twenty minutes. Errr...

That'd be the annal-retentive server.

LOL..no the anal retentive server is the one that grabs your plate to clean up when it still has food on it

So that WAS you then.... You were the guy who pretended to be deaf.

"Get out, get out!" *smack smack smack*

"Hmmp nom bomomp jihi!" *insert fake sign language here*

How many times did I have to stab you with the fork? 2? 3?

I thought it was funny. I was just waiting for someone else to make the connection (get it?). Hahhaaaaa...

Can anyone get on hotmail?

Stew21 · Nov 16, 2006

i'm trying to exercise my "just-in-time" good judgment by letting everyone see it, and then deleting it before someone quotes me!

WackAMole · Nov 16, 2006

Yep im slow..i mean i knew something was trying to click in my brain about what you said..but..it just hadnt had enough coffee yet..

You would think the fact that i kept getting "the server is busy" page would have been a clue LOL

Hey, I'm old and sober. Give me time to freshen up my drink.

GPatten · Nov 16, 2006

After I logged in a few minutes ago, I tried to enter this forum and the server kicked me out.

My sister & I came up for a real "home-style" restaurant where the servers would not let the customers leave the table until they finished what was on their plates, make them eat their vegetables, etc. etc.

but I came here because I can't get into my email... the server is too busy & it's been like that all morning.

Uh, we're talking servers in a food establishment, yes?

nicegrrl · Nov 16, 2006

Hotmail is a great restaurant when the server is not too busy as she is today.

GPatten · Nov 16, 2006

The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.

I hate coldmail dang it.

I hate when I get that "file not found" error or "server busy" error and I've been getting that a lot here today.

[edit]drat! gpatten beat me to that joke by a few posts!

Fine.

OK. I hate when the waitress doesn't flirt with me. Sorry, no tip, honey.

Server too busy.
