Please! when you pass by a table ask the patron if they'd like a refill, even if it's not your table.
Ha! What universe are YOU hailing from....

When did my going to a restaurant to eat become a potential "problem"?
More and more....... no, wait, EVERY TIME I have been out in the last while -- when I thank a server for refilling water, bringing food, etc., the reply is "No problem."
Was I somehow anticipated to be some sort of an issue with them? I am sorry I was inconveniencing you by patronizing your establishment and leaving you money (tip) ...... what happened to "You're welcome"?
So... guess which arm is pain-free and which is almost immobile from the pain?
Murphy's Law....
Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment for follow-up and I ask "Say, while I'm here can I get a flu shot and a pneumonia shot?" Sure thing.
The nurse says the pneumonia shot tends to be the most painful so since I'm right-handed I ask to have that one in the left arm and the flue shot in the right arm. (I forgot to ask why they can't both be in the left arm.)
So... guess which arm is pain-free and which is almost immobile from the pain? Yeah, the right arm with the flu shot....
No, the hand calligraphed envelopes are correctly addressed.
Regarding the Internet, it's "online" not "on line" unless you are from New York and you're standing in line which is "standing on line".
I will drink 2-3 glasses of water or tea with a meal. So when at a restaurant why is it so difficult to get your glass refilled? It seems when we get our meal and take 1 bite the waiter/waitress will come by to ask if everything is ok? Sure, with my mouth full of food, then disappear....but why do I have to track them down to get a refill?

My wife got a flu shot in her left arm and it took 4 years for the pain to go
completely away. It just slowly got better. She doesn't get flu shots anymore.

My pet peeve today is internet sites that require people to log in at Facebook before commenting on articles. I refuse to do business with Facebook. When I find that I cannot comment on some articles, I leave those sites.
I agree with you. Some years back, I had an account at facebook. I left because I found it a complete waste of time. Since then, I have heard about facebook manipulating information it permits users to see, and facebook being a political force for statism. I won't help them.People bugging me about creating a fa[-]c[/-]zebook account. It a'int never gonna happen.
Back in the early 1960s they'd give cholera/paratyphoid (and perhaps some other preventatives) in what they called a 'cocktail' shot - before we embarked on our overland trip England-Australia, a buddy & I drove halfway across London to get ours.....on the return trip we each had only one operative arm.
He'd steer, work the pedals, and call out "2nd" or "3rd", and I'd change the gears.
Some folks here will remember going on military deployments to nasty spots in the world and having to get a gammaglobulin shot. Administered in the "hip" (nursespeak for "butt"), it was a lot of highly viscous, cold fluid that felt like a golf ball under your skin. Then you'd finish your deployment processing and get to sit on that sore cheek for 6-12 hours or so on the hard web seats of a military transport plane.
Once the waitperson drops off the bill on your table and then they vanish for 20 minutes. I try to manage to have my credit card ready if I see them coming with the bill, but they scurried off tonight without picking it up. And then went on break, it seems.

Wow an apprentice automatic transmitter changer. Pretty soon, the car will respond?He'd steer, work the pedals, and call out "2nd" or "3rd", and I'd change the gears.
I hate the unnecessary apostrophe.
Did we not learn how to use the apostrophe in middle school at least, if not elementary school?
The apostrophe does not denote plurality.
The apostrophe is used for three purposes: to mark the omission of one or more letters, as in a contraction, to mark a possession, and sometimes to mark non-English plural words. (P’s and Q’s.)
Using an apostrophe to form plurals is grossly incorrect.
It’s hard to take someone seriously when they use incorrect punctuation.
“The cat’s whiskers” is appropriate, while “The cat’s whisker’s” is not.
Or another example:
“I can’t come drink beer. I’m hanging out with the girl’s.”
“You are hanging out with the girl’s what?”
“With Lisa, Katie, Jane, and Emily.”
The rules for apostrophes are not hard to find, if anyone cares.
