Once, as a student, I was sitting with a guy in a cafe.
A popular song was playing on the radio in the background, and then he kissed me. There was nothing serious between us, we broke up after a couple of months.
But it’s been 15 years, and when I hear this song somewhere, I automatically remember, “Oh, Mike and I kissed under this song!” I don’t know why this happened: I didn’t like the song, and Mike was not the love of my life, but for some reason, my brain decided that it was necessary to remember it! © Podslashano / Ideer
A few years ago, I met a perfect woman.
We met on a dating site, chatted for a month, and decided to meet in real life.
We sat down in a cafe and ordered tea and cakes. After about 15 minutes, she said, “Let’s go to my place to eat dumplings.”
So I stayed with her for 3 days, and we were dating for about a year. She later confessed to me that the idea of dumplings was a 100% chance to win over a man she liked.

My girlfriend and I were going to an event last Friday and wanted a small meal beforehand. At dinner time, we went to a Japanese restaurant we frequent.
We both ordered a miso soup and one of their classic rolls (a little over $20 for that and a coke). The waitress scowled at our order and as she collected the menus she said, “Next time, just order online takeout, okay?”
I work in the retail service industry myself and found this an insane comment to make to a customer.
When she put our bill down and collected it with haste and no comment, I decided I was not tipping her at all.
I’ve discussed the situation with my coworkers and a few have commented “That’s rude, but I’d not tip” and judged me for it.

I’m in a cafe, and there’s a woman in her thirties with a child at the neighboring table. She ordered something and was making eyes at me, smiling. I
smiled back.
After the waitress brought their order, she came to me with a payment terminal, saying that the woman was very grateful to me for the treat. I said I wouldn’t pay for it.
Suddenly, this lady starts shouting, “What’s wrong with you? He looked so nice, and now he can’t buy a coffee for a girl and a cocktail for a child, you cheapskate!” I was taken aback.
