LOL what kind of fever dream is this? Music sounds like half the “wah wah” mouth tube noises from Livin’ on a Prayer and half old modem connection sounds
Local news: LOST IN THE SAUCE
chicken alfredo was the only thing i knew how to order in a nice restaurant til i was like 26
I don’t know what that means.
it was always intimidating, almost every restaurant has something like chicken alfredo, and they dont ask a bazillion follow up questions when you order it.
Do you mean like how do you want your steak cooked, soup or salad, and what dressing if salad?
yea, very didsian of me.
I guess you liked that pasta dishes like chicken alfredo often didn’t come with a side, so you didn’t have to choose one.
Do you like a buffet because no one asks you anything unless you go to something like a carving or omelet station or do you hate it because there are too many choices? I could see someone like you being more comfortable eating at a chain restaurant when traveling because it’s the same menu everywhere.
Yea, that’s fair, I do tend to gravitate towards what is familiar. Lots of restaurants actually kind of suck and I feel literally stolen from when I have a bad meal.
I’m over this anxiety now, one of my girlfriends forced me to interact with people in that setting til I got over it.
I realize now that maybe I’m a voracious reader of menus who likes to do my research and have an idea of what I want to order, including sides, before I walk in the door because I want to avoid any anxiety like what you had. I get a bit perturbed when salad dressing options aren’t listed and I prefer knowing the specials and soup of the day before I get seated.
I like having a pre-planned decision tree for most interactions in my life.
fucking lucky its not even 10am and im hot
