Seated for dinner, there are eight people at the ten-seat round table and the empty seats are on either side of us. The staff starts bringing out the main course and I see that it's filet and crab cakes with potates and vegtables. I'm starving and ready to throw that shit down when I see the servers put a plate where the two empty seats are. My eyes light up cuz I know I'm getting at least one of those, but wait...

My brilliant wife says "oh those seats are empty" and they pick both plates up. WTF? Are you kidding me???

I'm convinced women have no common sense. I mean, you don't care if the oil in your car has ten thousand miles on it....but you're worried about whether or not some little mexican girl gives us extra food on the Marriott's dime.

That was bonehead move of the year and it's only January. Jesus H. Christ, woman.

I suppose I'm also tired of the mentality that corporations are evil and that they need to be exploited. Corporations employee people, and some of them even redistribute their profits to their shareholders(read: Your retirement account).

I'm not sure if there is a law or not...but I'm pretty sure once food reaches a table, it cannot be re-served. In any case, I don't think it's that big a deal that we have to label SVF as classless or mannerless. That should be reserved for people who show up at an affair woefully underdressed which is dissrespect for the host. Most people who host an affair want their guests to have a good time and enjoy the spread. Having "seconds" would be considered somewhat complimentary of the food offered. Beyond that, or inconviencing other guests by your 'gluttony' would be vulgar and classless.

In any case, you should thank your wife SVF...she just wants to keep you trim, lean, and healthy:laugh:
