Uninvited guests
interrupted my meal.
After work on Thursday, I decided to treat myself to lunch
at browns; I put up a post on browns here a couple of years ago but things have
since gotten better there.
My dearest treats me to impromptu lunches at Browns, I like
the place. It is a nice place with a peaceful atmosphere. The waiters are also
efficient though the last time I was there with dearest; our food came in so so
late, we were almost dying of hunger.
Anyway, back to my lunch On Thursday, so I walked through
the doors of Browns and was greeted by a waiter as I walked down to sit at our
usual spot. The waiter came with the menu and I ordered my food and drink.
Two minutes after the
waiter set my food on the table, just as I was about to dig in, two uninvited
visitors arrived at my table distracting me; it was Mr and Mrs Fly! I hate
flies sooooo much especially when they come around something I am eating(particularly when I am very
hungry), I just feel like once they latch on something you are about to eat, if
you put it in your mouth you get ill immediately, I don’t want to start imagining where they could
have come from. I feel that when one is outdoor flies might invite themselves, but what about indoors?
After spending sometime
multitasking driving Mr and Mrs
Fly away and at the same time trying to eat, I got sort of frustrated and
called the waiter, he apologised and went to get a spray bottle which I am
guessing contained insecticide, he sprayed it around a bit(I think it must have
been odourless because I didn’t smell anything but I was bit concern about how safe that was) the flies disappeared and just
as I was about to relax and enjoy the rest of my food, they appeared again.
In frustration I ate what I could, asked for my bill and left my table to
Mr&Mrs Fly.
The food was very nice, as usual everything was good, only
the flies… Browns is a nice place, I will
go there over and over again BUT the next time I encounter a fly? It must
surely die! or I'll have to pay only half of my bill lol.
Have you had an experience like mine at a place you really
like to go? Would seeing a fly on your table put you off going to a restaurant
you like to eat at?
Flies will definitely keep me away from a place, especially persisitent ones like that. The food looks good, sha. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Myne the food was actually nice, shame the flies didn't let me be lol..have a beautiful week too xxx
Delete@Spynaija, I like what you ordered, back to flies at restaurants. Hmmm, let me not spoil business for some reputable names. I took my kids out for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, we placed our orders, the food arrived and before anyone would start eating, a very big fly appeared from no where and started buzzing around the food. The waiters came and did something about it, but the girls refused to touch their food and that was how we left without eating.
ReplyDeleteAfter that experience, they vowed never to go to that branch again. Although this, is the branch closest to the house, I now drive past it and go farther to eat out.
I hate flies, my girls are worse!!!
I love your girls they are divas oh lol I wouldn't even blame them, flies have "irritating" and "disgusting" attached to them, even your girls know that...see how people lose customers o. You are very kind o Eya, you kept their name a secret. Lol
DeleteMaybe Mr&Mrs fly were hungry, didn't have money to order lunch and wanted you to share.....lol...pele...I hate anything that flies, creeps, crawls e.t.c.
ReplyDeleteLoll ..at first I wasn't happy to share my food with them but when they started tormenting me I didn't have a choice but to leave it to them. I feel you @ hating anything that crawls, creeps and flies.. They are just so annoying. Imagine having to leave your food to flies that can't even talk
DeleteI hate everything that flies and crawls...I can imagine how you felt...I would probably not go back to the restaurant oh...but then again,our local buka has permant residence for Mr. and Mrs Fly.
ReplyDeleteHey Lara!!! welcome!!! Lol @ our burka and their permanent Mr and Mrs Fly... I hate things that crawl, fly and bite too. I was frustrated o maybe because I hadn't eaten all day and had been saving my appetite.
DeleteIt must have been so irritating to have those annoying/interfering couple buzzing around and trying to dig into your food. Such shameful meddling! I think one or two are tolerable-one can do battle and win with that number, but when it becomes a swarm of flies, then that is another matter entirely. That is a matter for physical warfare o, lol. Sorry that your lunch was ruined. I hope Browns does something about this menace so that their nice food, is complemented by a fly-free environment.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ivy, It was so annoying especially because i was hungry. I will give them one more chance, the next time I go there and flies attack me, I would have a serious chat with the manger and that would definitely end my relationship with Browns.
Deleteeeewww!!!!!! Hate flies..arrrgghh!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can say that again Dobby...
DeleteI hate hate hate (ok, you get the point) flies ew ew ew I'll be angry though cos i like food *covers face in shame*
