Fullbody asks AITA a question.

AITA for putting a fly in my soup after the waiter was being a dick and hitting on my date in front of me? I'm out at sea for months at a time, putting my life on the line trying to capture blood thirsty pirates and protect innocent civilians. It's a dangerous job and I wake up knowing today could be my last. I'm a lady's man surrounded by men. Don't get me wrong! I love my job but I also love the company of a beautiful woman. It's something to look forward to.

I finally granted a day's liberty from my duties as a Marine Lieutenant after a harrowing battle with some of the nastiest pirates I've run into in a long time. Honestly, they should be called sea terrorists, not pirates. Pirates sounds too romantic for what they are. I've saved up my pay, dressed in my best suit, and booked a reservation at the fanciest restaurant in the area.

It sounds perfect, right? No, wrong! The waiter starts flirting with my date and is seriously trying to get her ditch me to go out with him. I can't even complain to the manager or the head chef or the owner. It's all the same person and he's the waiter's father. It totally sucks!

So, yeah. I put a fly in my soup. What other recourse did I have?

ESH. Your waiter sounds like a complete tool. He's probably spent his working life getting away with this kind of behavior because daddy owns the place and waiter boy knows he can't get fired. These kind of dudes suck to work with and you're right that complaining probably would have done you no good.

HOWEVER, what you did was pretty fucking juvenile and could have gotten someone innocent bastard in trouble. Waiter boy was never going to deal with the consequences of your actions, just some poor schlub in the kitchen.

p.s. How da fuck did you happen to have a fly ready to drop in the soup!?
