Olivia Lisbon : “This is me. I got a tosti yesterday that was so burned half of it was just crumbling charcoal, and even then I just ate the more edible bits, ignoring my husband’s exasperated sighs and ‘just send it back!’s. At the end the waitress went “was everything okay?”, and I – encouraged again by same husband – intended to say something about the tosti but it came out as ‘yup, lovely!’. Cue an even bigger sigh, my husband said it was super burned for me, the waitress goes ‘oh, sorry.’ And I just went ‘that’s okay! The other half was really nice!’ with this manic, desperate grin. I don’t know what’s wrong with me either.”
