I'd like to think I'm a pretty easygoing person when it comes to eating at restaurants. I never get upset about mixed up orders or particularly long wait times, and I'm definitely a generous tipper.
Basically, I'm of the belief that eating at a restaurant doesn't give you any excuse to act like spoiled royalty to the servers.
Like, for instance, if a rat suddenly dropped from the ceiling and landed on my table. I think that would be a perfectly acceptable time for me to freak out.
According to LADBible, Alisha Norman was sitting at her table in the Los Angeles restaurant when she witnessed the rodent drop from the ceiling and land squarely on her table, directly on top of her menu.
In a post published to her Facebook page, Norman shared a series of grossed-out emojis, as well as the caption, "Really LA? I was just trying to watch the soccer game."
Maybe the rat wanted to watch too, who knows for sure?
Apparently, the rodent's surprise arrival was due to construction going on above the restaurant. In an interview with NBC, Norman admitted she knew the rat was in trouble when she heard it land on her table, which she said "hit like a Mack truck."
As gross as this whole situation is, it's also a little sad to think about this motionless, injured rat lying helpless on a Buffalo Wild Wings table.
She said the restaurant's manager came and scooped up the still-living rat with two plates, later dumping it in a bag. The manager also took care of her bill to compensate for her...unexpected lunch guest.
"I'd be out the door as fast as I could go," one user wrote, while another chimed in with, 'Id be out! Maybe the only time I walk out on a bill!"
In another reply she told any doubters out there, "You really can't make this up...you just can't."
In response to one of the comments she explained, "I'm a science teacher and went to nursing school, I've seen worse."
Not the craziest thing to ever grace a person's plate while dining, but certainly not the most casual thing either. Ratatouille's seen better days.
