So it was decided that we were to have dinner together this evening. It was after all, Christmas eve. Simply another excuse to pamper ourselves and fill our tummies I say but my mum insisted that it was one chance we could all have dinner together.
So my dad started making phone calls to restaurants to make a last minute reservation. Like we do every single year, not learning the lesson.
“Hello, can you transfer me to your coffee house or restaurant line?”
“Of course sir, please wait a moment.”
The person manning the line probably got this the entire week.
“Hi, XYZ coffee house, how can I help you?”
“I would like to check if your restaurant will be having a christmas dinner buffet tonight?”
“Yes we are sir,” the lady replied.
My dad then gave us a thumbs up sign, “Ok, I would like to book a table for 4.”
“Sorry sir, but all our tables have been fully booked for dinner.”
Dad’s expression made a 180 degrees change.
“Then why didn’t you tell me that directly,” he flared up. “instead of wasting my time talking to you I could have made a call to another restaurant!”
And he slammed the phone.
Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you all have fun tonight.
Addendum: Evidence that your friend have too much free time to do this on MSN.
