Denny's lunch today with the fam.
Waiter: Would you like something to drink?
Me: Yes, a Coke please.
Waiter: Ok, would you like a Diet Coke?
Mind split second thoughts: Did I say I wanted a diet coke? Why would you ask that? Do I look so fat that you are suggesting I order a diet coke? WTF?
Me: No, I would like a regular coke. Then looked at my mom and said quite loudly in his ear shot: Do I LOOK LIKE I NEED A DIET COKE?
My mom: Boy you sure are cranky today?
Me: Muah? 
Well shit, I thought it was damn rude. I could get if he didn't hear me and he said: did you say a regular or a diet? But to just ask if I wanted a diet???
WHATEVER!
My grandma is: at me.
By the way I'm celebrating 60 days tobacco free so yeah maybe I am a bit cranky and yeah I could lose a few pounds, but oh well!

Damn! And he was able to walk away from the table without coughing up his testicles?! You showed some restraint!

Maybe he's a transplant from the South, where all sodas are Cokes, and then you have to say what kind of Coke you want (Sprite, root beer, Pepsi, etc.)?
Or he's just a clueless waiter.

exactly.
betrayedfriend- Oh I sure would have liked to kick him in the nuts! I've had him before as a waiter there and didn't like him last time either.
NIK- he is no damn transplant. He was in my opinion making a snide remark, but who knows!!!

Let's not forget when they still bring you Diet Coke even after clarifying that you wanted regular Coke....bastards
No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Oh shit, that might actually have been a really fucking inept attempt to save you from a miscalibrated coke fountain by trying to suggest the diet. If he knew the machine was making shitty coke (like the D/T at my nearest McD's) but is not allowed to say anything about it...
Maybe...
Or maybe just as an ass....

aesir - as I typed that reply I thought of that as well, but remembered that my son ordered a Sprite and his was also flat, so I believe it was the whole soda fountain machine on the fritz.

lmao cresita! skinny bitch.
I highly doubt he thought that about me...I'm not a skinny bitch. I may be a bitch, but not a skinny one.
thanks for that though!
