Paying Attention to Your Mac and Cheese

I swear I started this blog to discuss love, marriage, divorce, parenting, and relationships. Really... I did. Then a Black man and a White woman started sparring like street fighters in a race to break the White male choke-hold on POTUS. Suddenly, it turned all O-Man and Hillbilly smack-down mania up in here.

I learned one major thing observing this journey to Pennsylvania avenue: America is headed to hell in a handbasket... or at least to the toilet in the Tidy Bowl boat... and we're not paying attention. In fact, if attention was a regular payment, we'd be in hellah default with our pictures on the Post Office wall.

So for today's Attention Training 101, I give you this exercise: Pay attention to what the heck you order in a restaurant. We have to start somewhere, right?

According to The Consumerist, this little gem landed on some poor guy's table at The Waverly Inn (photo courtesy of The Consumerist):

Apparently, this uppity restaurant doesn't list food prices, and worse, the diner didn't realize that the waiter wasn't grating fresh cheese topping at the table... He was grating TRUFFLES. I wonder how long it took the diner to get up off the floor and for his balls to descend from his neck. ::sigh::

Had the poor fella been paying attention, he would have seen the clearly printed wallet-busting menu item (photo courtesy of The Consumerist):

 

So if I can't get you to pay attention to politics just yet... can I get you to read your menu before ordering? If not, I'd love to be your next dinner date.

WTH? is so NOT what I would have said had I seen that check. Sheot! A menu with no price list would have been just cause for me to bounce.

in this day and age, it's so, so important to pay attention of EVERYTHING and be equally aware of your surroundings at all times. Bullsh*t is flying around these days worse than pigeons in Trafalgar Square (that's in London for the geographically challenged...lol!)

love!
