When driving you are making things more dangerous and less efficient by waving people in. If it is your right of way take it.
Be predictable, not polite.

Putting anything inedible on a plate is insane.
If its on my plate in a restaurant, I will attempt to eat it.
Fun fact: The original purpose of parsley on a plate was that it was there for you to eat. Specifically there for you to eat at the end of a meal as a breath freshener.
People don't eat parsley?
I was on a school trip to a hotel, and was handed some dragon fruit. They didn't tell me how to eat it, so I bit right into it. Took out a big chunk and wanting to try something new I kept chewing it.
The man had a look of what was a mix between horror and surprise on his face and told me to spit it out.
Not really a plate but I was handed something with inedible parts and no instructions. Similar I suppose?
When I was a little kid, I ate one of those red peppers at a Chinese restaurant. I didn't know that you were supposed to pick them out. This probably explains my love of spicy food.
You can 100% eat the tails and I 100% do this
Yeah I've never understood if they expect me to just eat the tail, or start playing with my pasta with my hands to pull them off. Certainly not gonna waste like half my shrimp by just cutting the meat where the tail starts.
Assert dominance by eating as per normal and when you encounter a tail, spit it at the chef.
Am I eating in the restaurant kitchen or walking back there each time I bite a tail?
I like each time for extra awkwardness
Oh trust me, I don't need the extra awkwardness!
Chef: (Still holding towel after wiping 13 shrimp tail shells off his face) Back again?!
Me: (Awkwardly hovering in the doorway) Yeah sorry, I was going back and forth on this but I found a shell piece all by itself with no shrimp in it and while I have no reason to put it in my mouth I figured I needed to show conviction to impress my date so... PATOOIE
Press the very start of the tail with your fork sideways so it's cut, then pull the shrimp from the tail with the fork and knife.
Anyway, the post is right, it's borderline violent insanity.
Great! My fork slipped while trying to perform this insane feat of dexterity and my shrimp flew across the restaurant!
I don’t get when a fancy restaurant does it. If it’s not a Cajun boil or similar vibe, please don’t try to make me look polite deconstructing seafood.
Yeah but that's such a fiddly process. I've sprayed pasta and sauce all over the table because my knife or fork slipped trying to do surgery on my food
"Oh yes sure please make my comfort food more difficult to eat thanks"
I'm right there with you. Serving shrimp tail-on might as well be serving something on a log instead of a plate.
My cheat for getting the shrimp meat out is to pinch the tail. It just slides right out.
When someone does not like garlic bread, Allah Willing, they shall know no happiness, and shall not live long.
The QWERTY-type keyboard is a dated relic, especially in the electronic era, where there aren't physical mechanisms to jam because you pushed the buttons too quickly.
This is particularly applicable to touch screens, where the format is particularly ill-suited, and ought to be replaced by something more suitable and intuitive.
Yup. That's super gross. I totally agree.
But, probably not for the same reason.
I usually cut my spaghetti. It's just more convenient to eat.
