This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

You and an old friend catch up at a restaurant. When the bill comes, how do you make sure the poor waiter takes your card? (lemmy.world)

I usually whisper, "I'll flip every table in this joint if you don't take my card, including the one with that child at it", and while it has a 100% success rate, I can't help but feel terrible about it, later. What are some alternatives?

I feel I am too european to understand this; We pay before eating.

That sounds better honestly. I don't think I've ever in my life decided to order anything else after my plate arrived, except of course at a bar where the amount of drinks I'm ordering is variable, but then bars make you pay for drinks up front...

If I really need someone to do something I just use my mind control powers. However me and my friends switch off. It ain’t right to take all the glory.
