18 Things We All Should Do (But Don't Because 'It's Weird')
4. Order More Food At Restaurants
We get to the restaurant ready to eat a horse having starved ourselves all day in preparation for the culinary feast that awaits us, but as were checking out the menu we remember the terrible social rule that in restaurants we must order less than we actually want to eat. So while we eye up the 10oz burger and pine for the 16 inch pizza, we end up plumping for a tomato salad to be polite. We even turn down the croutons were so afraid to cause offence. While traditionally this awful norm is rectified by drinking half the wine list to ensure we get the calories, its time to accept that human beings need food, restaurants serve food, and that eating enough to justify the extortionate bill plus ten per cent tip is perfectly acceptable.
