As a waitress, it is our job to serve you. However, some requests can be a bit tedious and out of the way, especially during a rush. Here are some things that can be considered annoying to your waitress:

1. Asking for a detailed list of what's in every single dishes

What is in the plate? What are the exact contents in the contents of each detail in the plate.

2.Asking where the bathroom is before you can order

It would be easier if you ordered first and then went to the bathroom so that way your waitress doesn't have to come back.

3.Asking for a drink product that requires you to go pour and mix multiple things together.

Milkshakes and mixed beverages take time and effort and it's annoying during a rush.

4. Asking about a special thats on a menu board/ display and then getting up and looking at it yourself

Flickr

So I basically memorized the menu or ran over to quickly memorize it for you to act like I did, for nothing.

5. Asking to sing "Happy Birthday"

Once again, during a rush, be considerate that other waitresses have to join in to sing and it's uncomfortable to have to assemble people.

6. Asking for deserts

Most chain restaurants have the waitress make the desert so it's annoying to have to throw together in an entire dish that looks presentable.

7. Asking to change the temperature

This is a restaurant, not your house.

8. Asking for music/ volume to be changed

Flickr

Repeat of the above

9. Asking for obsessive amounts of things you won't need

Flickr

Literally if you order several bowels of whatever and then never touch them, you deserve to go to a new level of hell.

10. Asking for your number and then leaving you a trash tip

Flickr

I mean this is why we gave you a fake number or politely refused.

11. Asking for alcohol when you don't have an ID

Flickr

Sorry but we have to card you.

Just be considerate of these things when asking of your waitress and make sure to give them a fair tip for their service!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
