"excellent choice," I think it's pretty obvious that the waiter's attracted to your wife and/or <br />Dr. M, and he's trying to undermine you in front of them, by passive-aggressively belittling your choice of meal. Dr. M and your wife could well be in on the whole thing, and, as is unfortunately so often the case with these situations, you'll be the last to find out about it. <br />Very interesting Apatow anecdote.

If he would respond "everything is equally excellent" than I would have two choices: 1) I would choose anything I want of the menu because now I know everything is excellent :-) 2) going into a discussion with him about his comment because it has factually seen no real weight nor sense. Obviously number 2 can get you into trouble with him and the staff but worst: it can get you into trouble with your wife that can say "Why did you go into discussion with him? He was just being nice." The truth, Mr. Pomerantz, is that I don't give any weight to a waiter telling me that my choice is excellent or horrible, unless that waiter is my best friend and he knows what goes on in the kitchen or if I just witnessed him having a heavy discussion with his boss ;-) So, I would take the words of that waiter - from your example - just as pleasant talk and let it be, and just concentrate on having a nice dinner with my wife.Sérgionoreply@blogger.com
