So, the family and I went out to dinner tonight, as is our Thursday tradition... we went to a tex mex restaurant. I chose the one described thusly: "One beef, chicken or pork enchilada, one sour cream chicken enchilada, rice, and beans," and other little fiddly bits.
I order the pork for my choice enchilada.
When our food comes out, I start into my enchiladas, and realize a few bites in that they are both pork.
Our waiter comes back out to check on our meals, I point out that I thought the enchiladas were supposed to be different from each other... I also said, mistakenly, "I thought there was a tamale involved..."
He goes to get a menu, and I check the one I ordered. No tamale, but that wasn't the important part. The wording lead me to believe I had a choice enchilada, and a sour cream chicken enchilada.
He says, "I'll go get you a sour cream enchilada, but, when we ask what kind you want, we're asking for both enchiladas. You said pork, I brought pork."
"It reads as though there would be one enchilada that was my choice, and the other is always sour cream chicken..."
He leaves, sister in law immediately says, "He's going to spit in it."
I blink, "You really think so?"
I hadn't raised my voice, I didn't cuss... hell, she's been more forceful about food orders before.
Bro says, "Yeah, think of all the people on CS..."
I kinda go, "Oh..." and stop talking, lapsing into my thoughts as he brings a small plate with the enchilada.
I turn to my brother later and say, "Tampering with food is verboten on CS, though."
So, yeah... was I wrong to think that way about the meal?
