I was in a restaurant, sitting by myself, reading (something I probably do far too often), when the very young waitress approached me. Eyeing my book, The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, she gushed, "Oh, you're reading!" (Like that's an entirely unusual occurrence to her.) "Wow, I'd never think of reading a book that big!"

I just looked at her. Thinking very disdainful thoughts. Like, maybe that's why you're a waitress, and I'm sitting here able to pay for my steak. I mean no offense to hard working waitstaff. I mean offense to dumb, ignorant, people though!
