The other day a bunch of us took a colleague out for her birthday lunch. There were 11 of us and we were all seated at this long table. Menus were passed around and everyone urged everyone else to order. Finally someone suggested ordering the set meals for groups and when asked to make the selections from the group set menu, everyone pointed at me to make the selections.
So, ok lor… I made the selections - basically ordered almost everything there as the items were limited and we had to order 2 sets. So the food came and everyone dug in. Towards the end of the meal, when everything had been served, I told them to please order more if any of them was still not full. Everyone said they had enough, no need to re-order.
Fine.
Guess what… when we reached the office, there were these few aunties who grumbled that they didn’t have enough, not full lah, should have ordered more food lah, etc. So I asked them why didn’t they order more?? They said “haiyah… we were seated at the other end of the table, how we know what you ordered wor!” Tiu or not? Ehh hello, aunties - didn’t I tell you all to order more, AFTER all the dishes had been served … so you all definitely knew what dishes had been ordered! And even if I had not reminded you all to reorder, aren’t you all adult enough to order more if you didn’t have enough - after all you all were paying for the food! Mafullat - you all no brains or what??
See… there’re always these type of moe-loe grouchy people who would always try to blame others for their own inadequacies.
I swear I won’t ever order food for other people in future, especially for no-brain kiasu idiots.
