My friend at work has a problem with his voice which has been diagnosed as stress related.
He asks me to tell the specials of the night to his tables because sometimes people have trouble understanding him completely.
So, I went up to one of his tables tonight and I said "I am going to let you know what the specials are because Dave has a funny voice". I didn't mean to say it like that, but that's how it came out.
So the guy at the table immediately and hilariously said to me "Is he your ex boyfriend or something?" ha ha
And then I laughed but I got a little flustered because I was not in any way trying to make an issue of Dave's voice problem.
Anyway, hilarious customer continued with "Are there any other weird things we should know about Dave?"
Omg too funny.
I went back to Dave after all of this happened and told him what I said so he approached the table and said in his very strained voice "Hi I'm Dave the strange guy with the strange voice" and the couple laughed because they were fun people with a great sense of humour.
I went back to the table later in the night to clear some plates because Dave was busy with another table and the customer said to me "I don't know why you broke up with Dave, he's a really nice guy!"
I wish all of the people I met were so hilarious. :)
