If you want to give a waiter a hard time, ask them for a left-handed fork and I bet they’ll go look for one.
You: Excuse me can I get a left at fort?
Waiter: Most definitely, I’ll be right back.
2 hours later
Waiter: I think we ran out of left handed forks.
You: Dang that’s a bummer, I don’t know how I’m going to eat. I guess a right handed fork will do for now.
Waiter: Most definitely, I’ll be right back.
