Society's unwritten rules.

The handshake thing I get, no matter how apathetic you may be, it's just common courtesy to have some life in your handshake.

Couple months back, I was ordering my food (obviously at a restaurant) and got funny looks from everyone at the table and the waiter because I didn't let the ladies order first...first time in 18 years I've ever heard that unwritten rule. Next time I waited for my sister to order and got yelled at by my folks to hurry up and order my food.

Then I figured out this method of actually *waiting* for the waiter to look at you, and I haven't had any problems.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ladies get by with way too much. The other shit is common sense...but i've NEVER heard about the ordering thing, from my parents, friends, relatives, whatever.

Guess im hanging out with a bunch of dicks.:doh:

I think I can deal with that. If me ordering first was the sole factor in getting a second date (considering I follow all the other "unwritten" rules) that's one girl I *don't* want to get to know better.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Actually Phoenix, to be the asshole that takes what you said literally, I would think not pissing on a child would be written down somewhere (or written as a more generalized law), because if you do it you're most likely getting your ass thrown in jail (or a nice fine), whereas say...tipping 5% wont get you in any real trouble.

That being said I see your point.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
