My mom visited Paris once for a business trip, and a group of her and her coworkers were out one night and they came across a tiny American-themed restaurant. The owners were so excited to see actual Americans, but they didn’t really speak a lot of English so the whole encounter was just both parties pantomiming their excitement at meeting the other.
This is so funny and adorable
This reminds me of a story I heard from a fancy restaurant up in NYC.
One night they had Southern fried chicken on the menu as a special. This being NYC, people were eating it with knives and forks and generally being all snooty and pretentious.
One guy comes in, grabs it with his hands, and just noms the entire thing. The other people in the restaurant are scandalized, but he doesn’t give a fuck.
He was expecting to pay around $500 given everything that the table ordered. Once he was done, he asked the waiter for the bill. The waiter informed him it had been taken care of.
The guy asked what was going on. The waiter said the chef wanted to speak to the guy and brought him out.
Turns out the chef was a Southerner who was so happy to see that someone was eating chicken as God intended in that snob-infested city that he paid the guy’s tab out of his own paycheck.
Not a cellphone in sight, just people living in the moment.

“It’s fucking outrageous. It’s ridiculous. And ’twas ever thus. We all watched James Bond as he got more and more geriatric, and his girlfriends got younger and younger. It’s so annoying.” - Helen Mirren on the bullshit that is (sexist) ageism (source)

Many women have talked about how amazing life is after your 40s. Some have their happiest years in their 70s. We need to stop believing society when it tells us our lives are over when we reach 35.
