46. Messed With The Wrong One
I worked as a busboy at a seafood restaurant when I was younger. The issue with lobsters that people don’t realize, is that no chef can control how much black sludge gets inside it (The black substance is made of eggs that were resorbed when caught).
Most lobsters don’t have it, but when they do, it’s perfectly normal and safe to eat it. Anyway, a woman happened to get a lobster with the substance in the tail and immediately flipped out about it.
The manager was sent over to assure her it was normal and that there was nothing to be alarmed about when she interrupted her by screaming “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!? I AM THE EDITOR OF TIME MAGAZINE!!!“.
The manager paused, said “Good for you ma’am” and continued on about how the lobster was fine. I was 15 and was shocked by how snobby an adult could act…as well as confused as to why her being an editor of a known magazine meant she deserved more than other guests.
