Looks like my HS cafeteria. 🙂

You know, I actually get this. I do.

I mean, I'm normally pretty peaceful and easy going and all about sharing. But cut the line in front of me when steak is at stake and screw throwing tables and chairs; I'll grab the nearest knife and cut your heart out.

I'd probably eat it too, after proper seasoning and grilling.

Another story from one man's account claims it was a misunderstanding. He ordered his steak rare and received it first. The other guy who ordered his more well done got pissed at the cook. Hilarity ensued.

🤣

In that scenario, I'd be getting mine first since I like my steak still mooing. But if the cook were to overcook it, I'd be tossing tables and chairs, too. Far as I'm concerned, overcooking steak is one of the deadly sins.

Agree. I'm not a huge beef eater, but like to see some red in there.

I'm not a huge beef eater, although I'd surely be a slightly smaller beef eater if I ate less beef. Roughly 7-8 times a year, I'll (very lightly) roast a whole tenderloin and my kid and I will split it and kill it off in one meal. Sometimes when it's still cool in the center. Yum.

And carpaccio? I'd commit genocide if someone ever got between me and some well-prepared carpaccio.

This thread is making me hungry.

I bet it is. You’ve been awfully active in this thread and I’m really wondering why??? Some kind of weird fascination with lunatics I guess 😂

I, for one, wouldn’t set foot in a Golden Corral no matter how much steak they had. Rank that up with Dennys as places I just don’t go. Love me some Waffle House though.

Who the hell eats at Golden Corral? My father-in-law that's who. Now this is a guy who thinks Ziti with Ragu sauce is fine Italian dining. He once suggested we hold a family member's birthday there. I couldn't hold back any longer and let out, "You have to be fvcking kidding me". I swear it was just spur of the moment and blurted out as I was just so flabbergasted by his suggestion.

Well yes, humans have long been very disgusting animals, no argument here. But that video doesn't even scratch the surface, it's not even in the top 100,000 list of ****** stuff we humans do.

Bottom line? Don't cut in line.
Bottom line..steak isn’t that important. No need to fight

I have multiple weird fascinations. I have known and even been friends with some real lunatics. The folks in that video are just exhibiting ordinary garden-variety anger management issues.

I've also never been to a Golden Corral, at least not that I can remember. Or a Denny's. I'm with you about Waffle House. Used to stop there a lot on the way to/from FL. Was always great.

1979 gas crisis. I was in a long line in Framingham, Mass. It wound past a National Guard Armory and the waiting drivers were leaving the 2 entrances clear. All of a sudden a car going in the opposite direction does a 180 and slips into one of the entrances. SIMULTANEOUSLY, 8-10 car doors open and the drivers emerged. The was a guardsman in uniform close to the door to the armory and I walked over and said: "If you don't get him out then we will" He shooed him away, and prevented a possible fatality.

Yep. Cutting in line is asking for trouble in this country, depending on the reason for the line.

I just can't see why anybody throwing a chair didn't wind up asleep on the filthy Golden Carpet.

I prefer the more sophisticated clientele found at Waffle House.
Me too. But when I really want to go high class steakhouse, I head to Long Horn. I mean, sure, it's no Ponderosa or Sizzler, but it's still up there. 😀

Actually, in all seriousness, Long Horn does have it's Steakhouse Mac & Cheese which is truly fantastic. Each time I eat it, I can tell I'm flirting with a heart attack of stroke. But damn, it's good.

Sometimes you can’t control it and it comes out from deep down in the soul! 😂

Not for a Covid vaccination line.
Hm.

Back when I took my 92 year old dad for his vaccine, on a very cold and blustery day, they waved us to the front of a pretty long line that stretched out the doors and around the parking lot a bit. He was in a wheelchair, so I guess that's what did the trick. They also had us park in the lot right by the entrance, versus the larger lot with the longer walk.

But you're correct, nobody complained about us cutting the line. Could be respect for his age and condition. Or it could be the fact that it was armed sheriffs waving us through and there were dozens of those sheriffs working the site.
