Open Thread: 2/15

My wife and I went out for dinner at a fancy restaurant -- splurging in celebration of Valentine's Day and her upcoming birthday.

Mid-dinner I went to the bathroom. The door was locked, so I waited patiently outside. Suddenly, an old white guy comes up to me and starts ordering me around. Something about his wife needing something.

I stared at him blankly, not quite understanding what was going on. He started to get agitated: "Well, what are you doing just standing there?" Suddenly it dawned on both of us what was going on -- he quickly stammered "Oh, I thought you worked here." I continued to stare at him dumbfounded.

He thought I was "the help".
