When asked if you wanted English Muffin and Peach Jelly you should have responded "Sounds delicious - with some cream or yogurt perhaps?"

Since you waffled on the response, you are left pondering the significance of the question on the internet, instead of being fully sated from a scrumptious breakfast. Such is life. *sigh* Anyone else wondering if we've been served spam for breakfast?

Congratulations on joining the ranks of C-D luminaries such as: "I'm in love with my escort" and "Forty Restaurant pet peeves" for sheer entertainment value. Thank you!

Ahhhhh. Good times.

Maybe the problem is they didn't offer strawberry or grape

As a picky eater I have been known to accept an offer of B after declining an offer of A.

If that's your idea of a problem bad enough to write an internet post, you must have an utterly delightful life.

This has to be the silliest and most bizarre post in the history of City Data. What is even more bizarre is the fact that it received 99 posts in reply.

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding what happened. I was never upset, it didn't ruin my day, and I didn't view it as a problem. I just felt that her follow up question was a little odd, that's it....

She said, "We also have English muffins and peach jelly." With her voice becoming a little higher as her sentence progressed, as though I was suppose to be tempted or coerced into now accepting their food.
