HANGER: Hunger+Anger

So there we sat: Hollie, Bethany and me. We sat, and sat, and sat.

It all started when Bethany and I decided to watch a movie. Hollie, being a sort of a gypsy this summer with no official place of residence, had crashed at my apartment waiting for me to get home from work. After a long day at work I slunk through the door to collapse in my living room, Hollie reclining on my couch, and Bethany soon bursting through my door with all her wonderful bubbly-ness.

After briefly catching up with one another we began to discuss our course of action. We had planned to watch a movie, but Hollie was hungry, and wanted to grab dinner first. Bethany and I were both relatively indifferent, each having had a late lunch. We ventured forth in search of Thai Curry. Now, you need to understand something about Hollie: she is willing to try new things, but when she's paying for her food she wants what she is used to, and she's very particular about where and what she eats. So as we headed out Hollie commandeered the search for food. We ended up at Bangkok Grill, and we were promptly seated.

And there we sat: Hollie, Bethany and me. We sat, and sat, and sat.

My relative indifference to having dinner was soon becoming less indifferent. Bethany was only slightly behind me in those feelings. And as for Hollie...well...let's just say Hanger was definitely settling in. Her fidgeting was becoming more pronounced, and was slowly spreading to me.

After being ignored for nearly a half hour I looked at the others and declared that we were leaving. Hollie, despite being Hangry was somewhat hesitant to try a different Thai restaurant, and it took several minutes to persuade her to leave in search of food. We ended up at Thai Mango, hanger definitely settling in for each of us.

If you don't know what hanger looks like just imagine Katie-Ka-Boom from the Animaniacs. And then remember that there were three hangry girls...

We were quickly seated, and our water brought. After a couple minutes the waitress came to ask if we were ready to order. I responded in the affirmative, letting her know rather testily that we had waited for a half hour at Bangkok Grill without being served, and we were more than ready!! She said she would do her best to get our food to us as quickly as possible. To our great delight and relief that blessed waitress was true to her word!

And there we sat: Hollie, Bethany and me. We ate, and ate, and ate. And it was awesome!

Best tip I ever left.

HANGER: don't let it happen to you.
