Every girls nightmare happened to me last night. Or, one of them. See, my gals from BBurg and I were out for a post-UofA-visit dinner. We were back in Phoenix and chilling over food and beverages amongst a crowd of crazed BYU fans and World Series watchers at the local pub. Now, we wont get into the fried pickles incident...or the lime incident. Well go right to the wine incident. See, wed decided to kick back, have another beverage and hang. We ordered our beverages, the waitress takes off, I suck back the last of my wine and weirdly find something in my mouth that is not wine. I spit it onto my finger and... it... is... A BUG! A pickled, at-the-bottom-of-a-wine glass BUG! Now, Ive been a waitress. I know how hard it is. And Im just a pretty laidback person. But when Ive just drank an entire glass of wine with a bug in it, then said bug gets IN my mouth, I kinda lose my mind. The gal comes around with our drinks and I scoot the offending bug on its paper her way and say, THIS was in my wine. I do NOT want that glass of wine. This is unacceptable! She looks at the bug and I swear, SWEAR shes gonna throw up on the table. She totally gags (I get her, I SO get her). She takes off with my wine and the bug and my gal M feels the need in this harrowing situation to suck back some of her fresh rum and coke and lo and behold, its got a big stream of FOIL in it! WHAT!?!? Unconsumable beverages? How can this be happening? Wed had such a great day that started with hot guys and donuts, for heavens sakes! In the end, we drank no more and the staff were horrified, apologetic, comped our meals and gave us gift cards in hopes wed come back. Which was a very groovy thing to do (and Id been there before, frequently, so I already knew this was out of the ordinary - everyone has a bad night, unfortunately there night had ground zero at our table). Anyway, lets hope for no bugs today...or foil... Rock on!
