It is another crazy night at the restaurant and I am sat with a middle aged couple. They are very nice and require very little attention, my favorite. The lady orders a coke and the man asks for a coffee with cream. I return with their drinks and begin taking the order. While the lady is ordering I watch as the man opens up one of the coffee creamers and shoots it down like a shot of tequila. I do a double take and have to ask the lady twice whether she said salad or soup. I am convinced that I imagined the event until I ask him what he would like for dinner and he responds by taking another shot of creamer, leaving his coffee untouched. I take his order for a steak and return to the computer to send it in. When I get back to the table with the salads I notice that there are about 5 empty creamer containers all stacked neatly on the table. “Do you need some more creamer for your…um…coffee?” I ask setting down his salad. The man looks over to his wife with a guilty smile only to be met with her cold gaze and then looks up at me. “No, I think I have been cut off.” He never did touch that coffee.

*puts head down* … I do that. It lines my stomach and prevents sometimes terrible heartburn. I am more discreet than yon gent, though.
I do that too. It settles my stomach, stops heartburn, prevents heartburn, boosts my metabolism, helps me with my dry mouth, and helps me with my calcium levels.
To the two commenters who confessed to doing this – how disgusting! Surely you must be aware that potentially HUNDREDS of sticky, germ-infested snotty hands have touched the outsides of those creamers…little kids ‘play’ with them, they fall on the floor, and they have been handled by god knows how many people with questionable hygiene. Still want to put your lips on those nasty things??? If you have a heartburn problem, bring some damned Tums or order a glass of milk, you tightwad! It “helps me with my calcium levels”??? Jeezus…
