(I suck, one of the last straws of a guy I broke up with years ago was when he asked me where in the restaurant I wanted to 'set'...my blood curdled and I knew his days were numbered. Well, that and his blatant littering, and his insipid puerile over-attention, and his leaving his pay stub around where I could find it, and his belief that his car was an extension of his penis. You get the drift.)
