Ever feel embarssed to do this?

Question

When you go to sit down at a booth in a restaurant and you need to push the table away from you, so you'll fit more comfortable? Last night i sat in the booth, and I swear the last person who sat there was a stick, so I needed to push it forward a bit and i felt like a whale (even though i am not...)

...still made me feel really fat with my friend being there....

Ever do that? what do you say??

Answer 1

"Friend, I need a little more room to feel comfortable. Would you mind if we slide the table forward a little?"

That or skip the booth and sit at a table. If it's not a table you like ask for another. If a good table is not available at the time

tell them you will wait for a better table. If the food you order is not to your liking, tell the waiter what's wrong and send it back and order something else.

I would think the owner of the restaraunt would want you to be happy with your dinning experience, so that you would continue to eat there in the future.

Stand up for what you want.

Answer 2

thats a stupid question

Answer 3

it's natrally and the person probbly was a stick  and i always do that

Answer 4

I've never felt embarrassed to move a table to suit myself being comfortable.  Whatever it takes to eat comfortably is what I'll do.

Answer 5

Personally, it wouldn't embarrass me, but primarily due to the different perspective I have on this matter.

Instead of thinking how small the person was who last sat in your place, I'd think of how LARGE the person was who last sat across from your seat (on the OPPOSITE SIDE of the table).  In fact, I'd probably vocalize that to any friends accompanying you at the restaurant.

Another approach is to take note of the table's position in the booth.  If it seems off-center, have the server take care of it so that the amount of room on both sides is the same.

Answer 6

sometimes no one has sat there all day and thats why it so close to the table, so push away. everybody does it, whale or not.

Answer 11

No need to feel embarrassed! It's not a big deal or anything. You just want to be comfortable. Don't worry about how people may think of you. It's truly no big deal. You just want to be comfortable and that's fine. You're not fat, the table was just in a tight position. :D
