Monday night I met a friend for dinner. It had been awhile and it was good to catch up. One of the things that she was talking about was how her mind just doesn’t work anymore and how multi-tasking is a thing of the past for her. I told her how I was experiencing the same thing often. Fast forward to Tuesday morning. I took out my wallet so that I could fill out my bank slip and what did I find?!? The credit card slip from the restaurant the night before. With the gratuity and my signature! Eek! Obviously I left the wrong one with the waitress! How embarrassing!
I called my friend so that she could get a good laugh and made her aware that indeed she was not the only one without a working mind. I can only imagine what our waitress was thinking of me after we left and the names that were probably thrown my way! I called the restaurant right away and the man on the phone knew just who I was (so obviously I was the only one who made that mistake that night!) The good thing is that our waitress has a nice tip now and is probably feeling better about our visit to her table. The bad thing is that I have officially lost my mind! 😉
It happens to all of us. Heck, I can’t remember to eat some days…
Just take it in stride. Thanks for letting us laugh with you about it!
One thing I never for to do is eat. 🙂 Thank you for posting!
I honestly fear for myself sometimes, going through life without a working brain.
You are not alone my dear!
Phew! 😉
I remember a particularly crazy night, my husband was out of town, and I was exhausted. I decided to take my small kids out for dinner after a trip to the museum. The waitress was wonderful and I decided to give her a big tip. I gave her an even bigger tip than I planned as I switched number in my exhaustion. She got a tip that was nearing 35% instead of just 20%! Our brains just aren’t always working!!!
That is a great tip! I imagine she was hoping you’d comeback often! 🙂 Thank you for visiting Betsy and for taking the time to comment! I hope you’ll come back again!
Glad it is not only me. I walk into a room to do something and in the 20 seconds it has taken me to get there I have managed to forget what I went in for!
Oh I hate when I do that, Hayley! Especially when I’m trying to get out the door! Thanks for coming by and taking the time to comment!
Well you went back and ‘paid the bill’ proper. The waitress probably things even better of you knowing your an honest person.
You gave her a story to tell as well. 😉
I sure did! 🙂
