My favorite, guy walks up to the bar I toss out a napkin and ask "Sir, what can I do for you?" He picks the napkin up, blows his nose on it, balls it up and tosses it at me. It bounces off my chest onto the bar. "Let me get a Corona."
Another time, this guy sits down. His ashtray is dirty so, I snatch it up, toss out the smokes, wipe it down and set it back. He takes his glasses off and sets them IN the ashtray. "Can I have a vodka cranberry, please?"
I break character, "Dude, you just put your glasses in an ashtray."
People do weird **** when they first sit down.
