waiter's nightmare

A bad dream experienced by persons who wait tables for a living. The details in the dream may vary, but the one constant of all waiters nightmares is a full station (assigned tables) of unhappy customers (or members if the establishment is a private club). A common WN is arriving late at work and finding your station already full to capacity. Another common one is not being able to get organized, and realizing you have forgotten to turn in an order to the kitchen for a table that has been waiting a long time. Coming out of the kitchen with a tray of entrees and dropping it on the floor is a favorite. One of the more disturbing waiters nightmares is having a large table of people, or maybe even more than one table in the party, and after waiting for what seems like hours for their food to come up, and it's like midnight and all other customers and wait staff are long gone, and you go into the kitchen to check on your food, and all the cooks have cleaned up the kitchen and left, and didn't make your table's food.

Anybody who has worked as a server is familiar with the waiter's nightmare

Waiter's Syndrome

When you've been a waiter so long that you inhale every meal you eat, unable to slow down and enjoy the food. This is typically due to repeatedly not getting breaks on long shifts, and having to scoff down a meal in-between tables.

"Ryan, why are you inhaling your burger?"
"I have waiter's syndrome!"

Fate's a waiter

Another phrase that means "Justice has been served." Probably derived from a joke involving the definition of "served" and exactly who the server would be in this case. In any case, Fate seems to serve Justice in this manner.

syn: "Fate's been a waiter"
ant: "Fate's no waiter"

I see that your purse was returned to you, it's obvious that Fate's been a waiter on this one.

fate's a waiter

A phrase spoken when a person receives what was deserved. Justice is the implied party, that placed an order with fate in some cosmic diner, and was subsequently served.

Don't be so shocked my crizzle, you got sent to the crowbar motel for driving that hot land yacht balls out on liquid bread. Fate's a waiter, is all.

writer's block

A condition that may occur while writing. It causes the person afflicted to be unable to think of what to write next. Typically, the less interesting the topic is to the writer, the higher the severity and chance of occurence.

Some English instructors (different from teachers, who actually teach) will exploit this by having their students write about a topic that hardly anyone cares about. Those who get the most severe cases of writer's block will fail because they couldn't think of anything to write.

A: So I had to write an essay over the importance of having friends with different cultures and whatnot.
B: How'd you do?
A: I got writer's block before I could even begin. And failed.
B: Again?
A: Again.
