@slicksista posited that it’s “very tacky for somebody to eat the free bread as soon as you get it” at a restaurant. According to her imaginary rules, “you should wait five minutes before reaching for the bread.”

you should wait five minutes before reaching for the bread. if you that hungry you should’ve had a pregame meal.

Umm, what??

Okay, sure, some people don’t want to be the first one to dig into food in a group of people. If that’s your thing, that’s fine. Someone else can go first and you can join in when you’re ready. But arbitrarily suggesting everyone wait five minutes to hit up the bread basket is genuinely out of this world.

Despite @slicksista’s certainty that she was in the right with her made-up rules, the overwhelming majority of folks who saw her tweet weren’t having any of it, and made that abundantly clear with some excellent tweets.

1.

She’s gonna be staring at an empty bread basket if she’s waiting five minutes.

I wait until all of my food arrives, cools, gets boxed up, and the restaurant closes before I touch a morsel. I can’t be out here letting people know I enjoy eating food.

Very tacky. You must wait until the waiter says, “This is my body which is broken before you. Eat in remembrance of me.” https://t.co/rozXJ0mAGO

Ain’t anything on the planet that 97% of people agree with. You could ask if the Pope is a lizard and get 4% yes.

So true. Restaurant: “hi, here is some free warm bread and butter before you order.” Her: “ DO NOT TOUCH THAT UNTIL I SAY SO.”

The investment is at the end of the night where I tuck some in a napkin and wait for them to mature for when I’m starving the next day where thier value hits is peak.
