I was in an eatery t'other day, and one wait-person said "Are you still enjoying that?" prefatory to removing an empty dish, while a bit late another said, pointing to the china, "Are you still working on that?" - an expression sure to put me out of sorts, since - as I have said in the past - it makes me think of a dog worrying a bone around his dinner dish. It puts you in the frame of mind of snapping at their hand extended to remove the platter.<br /><br />Perhaps it was the fact that everyone was squeezed together in the corridor leading to the conveniences that caused the problem.
