Dine and dash

I doubt there are many people in the world who can say that not once but twice in their life they have left a restaurant without paying. But I am one of those people.

I mean, it's not like I'm trying to steal food. I know I'm a bigger girl but stealing food is just, well, it's below me. And it's not even like I was drinking either time this happened.

I am just simply an air head who gets so into her conversation with her dining partner that we both just walk out and leave.

The first time it happened I had already made it back to the office before I realized I didn't pay. I went back the next day and paid. And they remembered.

Today, however, Tif and I finished eating, went to the bathroom and headed for a short walk around East Lansing. It was in the beginning of said walk that the very kind host began chasing us down Abbot Road calling after us "hey you, you laidies forgot to pay your bill."

OMG how embarrassing. No matter how you swing it, it just looks like you were trying to leave without paying. Our poor waitress thought she did something wrong. But actually all she did was neglect to leave the bill on the table. So I guess we just forgot....

Oh well. And just for the record we paid in full today and I left a nice tip for the trouble.
Has anyone out there done this??

Um, no, can't say I ever have.

OMG - how immature! No, this has never happened to me because I know that while dining I need to wait for the check!
