waiting the tables

When a story takes a character who once had a lot to do and gives them some throwaway task to keep them busy. The term comes from the movie Ratatouille, when Linguini, who was once the restaurant’s top chef, is discovered to be faking it and Remi, the rat, takes over the kitchen, resorting Linguini to waiting the tables.

“Did you watch the new Star Wars movie? Finn was waiting the tables. He had nothing to do.”

The OG Table

A festering amalgamation of toxicity, spilt milk, and good memories. Many chicken strips wasted, ice packs yeeted, lunches ruined, insults thrown, Foxes slain. Many comers-and-goers such as Rotisserie Chihuahua, Joe Mama and the Caramelizer. The OG five: wpkoski, PortedData, savitor, FoxSlayer and the Turtle Lips. Then there’s Sheriff McClain! Colonel Sanders and his weed eyes, Kermit the Frog and the Syrup stick, the whore para and her ass-phone, Brad and his religious teachings, now it’s Mr. Manney (watch out, Fox). Food fights and verbal wars were very common, almost daily at this table but goddamn, it is nostalgic asf.

Me: Bro where should we sit at lunch?
Fox: Dude let’s sit at the OG Table!

Table Thief

The low life who moves in on your table or chair and claims it as their own while you're in the toilet or at the bar.

‘Mate, can you look after my table while I'm at the bar ‘cause I don’t want a table thief claiming it.’
