Nothing too big, this just made me giggle a bit.
Picture the scene, Saturday afternoon, around three-ish. As is usual Saturday night is fully booked. We very rarely have a free table that close to a Saturday night. Occasionally, yes...but rarely.
Anyway, I get a call from a desperate sounding man.
Me: Good Afternoon, *restaurant*, Esoterica speaking, how can I help?
Man: Do you have any tables for tonight?
Me: (really?) No, sir, I'm afraid we're fully booked for this evening.
Man: It's just for two, you can't squeeze me in?
Me: I'm sorry, but we are fully booked.
Man: It's my anniversary...
Me:...
Man:...
Me:....
Man: Can you just double check?
- At this point I feel sorry for him, I do actually have a quick conversation with my manager, who is stood next to me. She shakes her head. -
Me: Sir, I'm really sorry, but we are FULLY BOOKED.
Man: My wife's going to kill me. *hangs up*
Three hours later, just at the start of evening service, a woman calls. She cancels a table for two.

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
