How Rude! If I Wasnt A Shrinking Violet...

[Booldawg]

...I wouldve SAID something!

Whilst queing up for a buffet style breakfast in a hotel the other day a man several behind me in the queue noticed there was only 2 fried eggs left.

He jumped in front of me, snaffled BOTH eggs on his plate and then returned to his place in the queue to load up with the other bits he wanted.

I had to have scrambled eggs instead, a poor second choice. I wish I was more confrontational - he wouldve got told! How many would've tackled this queue jumping codger?

[woofgang]

I would have asked the staff for more fried eggs and gloated that i had got freshly cooked ones while he had the old rubbery ones.

[sara3]

didn't they bring out more fried eggs? I'd have been gutted.. I love fried eggs!

and I would probably have said something..

[grasscarp]

If I really wanted friend eggs I would have asked the hotel to fry some more for me.

[emmie]

sharp stamp on the foot would have done it, he may have dropped his entire plate, serves him right, i hate queue jumpers...

[ChuckFickens]

Tackling him might have been a touch harsh, but I probably would have made a sarcastic comment.

[ummmm]

I probably would have said something but not if I was on my own :-)

[MadMen]

Did no one else say anything? I probably would have just said "er, excuse me"!

[Booldawg]

my wife informs me a fresh plate came out not long after I sat down with my second rate breakfast.

Much to our amusement the ignorant man rather rudely interrupted the waitress at least two times with requests for more toast. I actually heard him say to her 'Tsk! Its happened AGAIN! we've run out of toast!'

[craft1948]

I'm afraid I would have said something, quite loudly............

[sara3]

he sounds like a pig!

[snags]

I'd have followed him to his seat, and whilst smiling, properly licking my finger and sticking it in both the yolks...

[daffy654]

I would have said something along the lines of "Oi, mush, wait your turn!" :)

[daffy654]

I prefer snags' answer. pmsl

[MadMen]

Lol. I think I forgot 'weirdo' in my description of you yesterday, snags :P

[gingejbee]

I'm NOT a pig, we Had run out of toast and those eggs were luvverly.

[craft1948]

I remember being on a cruise and on a table for 8 at lunch.. We were joined by a husband and wife, the husband absolutely tore into the poor waiter for allegedly being too slow in pulling out his wife's chair.
I stood up, apologised to the waiter for the man's behaviour, and asked to be seated at another table as I didn't wish to sit with such a rude person. The 5 other people came along with me and left the couple sitting by themselves.................

[Booldawg]

nice one Crafty!

[Sqad]

No big deal....I wouldn't have said a word.

I don't stay at Hotels with "Buffet Meals" and when i have to, I sit down at the table and call the waitress and order freshly cooked eggs.

The last two in the buffet would be bloody awful........so good luck to him.

[coccinelle]

Maybe he doesn't like freshly fried eggs and thought he was doing you a favour....
