Am I unreasonable?

[Macdragon76]

Am I being Unreasonable; Yes!

Its worth about 20 secs of a laugh over your coffee!

If you ham it up a bit you could make a comedy sketch.

But thats it, not worth stressing over!

Can I adopt your stress please? if thats what you have to worry about!

Would like someone to sense check this for me please, and let me know if it's me being unreasonable.

So recently in a small cafe/restaurant, I ordered coffee and sure enough the waitress brought it to me at my table (I was having food as well). I said thank you, and very politely asked if I could have some sweeteners. The girl (early 20's I'd guess) at first seemed to be thinking about my request for a second, then she just looked at me. So I smiled and again asked if she might have some sweeteners. All she did was point at the sugar bowl that was on the table, which I duly examined to make sure I hadn't missed a sachet or two of Candrell hiding in there, which there wasn't. So I looked back to her, all the while I'm very conscious of remaining very polite and friendly, and I just said that there was only sugar in the bowl, and that I was looking for sweetener.

At that point, the girl remained expressionless and silent, she broke eye contact and walked off. I presumed she would be back with the sweetener, but none ever arrived.

I have to wonder what I did wrong in the situation. I went out of my way to keep nice and friendly, but she seemed to take it all as being a most unreasonable and extravagant request, and she was stoically having none of my nonsense.

Could I have done better??

I suggest you take your own sweetener with you next time....

Lucky she didn't open the wardrobe door and introduce him to Mr Artificial Sweet Guy .

I for one don't need sweetener...I'm sweet enough .

You don't sweetener in a pint either .

He said born and raised here, but could be Cork or Kerry so how could the poor girl be expected to understand him🤣🤣

Off topic a little, but as a non-Irish born person who has lived here for 20 years and the first half in Cork I can understand Cork people quite easily, it's the working class Dubliners I struggle with, especially those that leave no space between words in a sentence. ,,😂😂

Dublish can be very difficult to understand

[AmorInfinito8]

It all comes down to context:

Did you wink/Blink or have you got a nervous twitch!!?

"Any chance of a Sweetener 😉"

Maybe she took it as a cheesy pickup line!!?

"I don't want a bowl of Sugar I want a proper Sweetener😉"

I am indeed. Four weeks this Saturday. Not since a bit of a mad one at Damien Dempsey a few weekends ago.

It will continue.
