AITA for walking out of Family Dinner because of bad service?
I tried to order a beer but the girl shook her head no and walked by me.

Editing to add eating a burger with hands is way different than eating a greasy roast chicken with hands.

And im not a "karen." I'm a man and a member of the USMC so I carry myself with a little more dignity than to eat greasy chicken with my hands.

Also adding my family had already made it not a family event when my dad refused to allow me to invite my girlfriend along.

It is odd that they denied him beer tho. Was it just because by that time everyone in the building knew he was a huge tool and was like gently caress this guy? Or do you think it was something like the waiter indicating they were busy and would take his order in a minute and he took it as a denial?

He was either already drunk or they cut him off for being an rear end in a top hat.

Mr. Medieval Times needed to clarify a few things!

So men, and especially marines, can't be Karens, and this guy is too dignified to get grease on his hands but not too dignified to clang his dinnerware at the horses and throw a fit at being denied alcohol.

They served the food with no silverware. I asked the server for a fork and he said they don't have forks. That it's some gimmick about mideival times and eating with your hands. I asked if he could please find me a fork and he said they actually don't allow them because in the past people have thrown silverware at performers.

So I didn't eat because I don't enjoy eating with my hands.
...
I got up and walked out and went to a bar next door and got a beer and a burger and waited for my family to be done.

I said "I'm leaving. See you when you're done with this" and left. The tables were like long benches so I had to hop over the table to get out because I had people sitting on each side of me. My sister said that everyone stared but I didn't notice and don't think they did because it was so dark.

This dude sucks but they absolutely do have silverware, its just plastic. I went to one when I was recovering from my wounds with a group of other wounded soldiers and I didn't know this was a thing. I was missing teeth so eating chicken off the bone was hard. The server did try to give his usual thing of "We have no silverware and everyone eats with thier hands! Its the gimmick ofnthis place" but did get me a plastic fork and knife when I explained my situation. All in all I didn't have a good time and was probably rude to him but I was still in my rear end in a top hat phase from my wounds and shouldn't have gone.

This dude has no excuse and sucks.

You know how we have this phrase in here, "If you're trying to figure out what the hell is going on, remember that everyone in this story is much fatter than your mental image" (which seems mean spirited now that I type it out), well that image just kinda explained a lot to me about my mental images of US popular dining.

I had assumed a medieval dining experience was gonna be an expensive affair with a show and some effort at dress-up by the guests. I was not expecting the BK hats.

My daughter, Augustina have been learning German and Russian at school since the age of 5. We’ve added Spanish when she was 9 and it feels like it’s time to add another language when she’s back in school in September and I think either Mandarin or Japanese would be suitable (of course, she can choose another one if she has one that she wants to learn). I’d hate for my child to be yet another English speaker who only speaks one language.

She just came back from music summer camp, and I’ve tried to talk to her about her language choices next year. I was shocked when she told me she didn’t want to take another language.

I asked her what she wanted to do instead, and she asked if she can have free time instead of another activity. I said that she already gets 2 hours off in the afternoon, but she said that she has to do her homework then and shower and get ready for bed and it’s not really free time. I told her that she watched Netflix when in the bath thus it’s free time in my book.

She said that in that case she wanted to take Italian to which I replied that I didn’t think it was the right choice as it’s too similar to Spanish and it’s like cheating and suggested she pick something else and I gave her until end of the week to come to me with a decision otherwise I will pick one for her.
She went sulking to her room but didn’t say anything else.

My ex husband just called me and told me I was crazy for expecting so much of our child and to give her a break. I told him that I only what’s best and that she will take another language or at least another instrument (she does play piano). He told me that I must chill otherwise, he’ll stop paying for private school. I have sole custody and he pays child support but private school is not part of the agreement and he only does it because it’s what’s best for her. I told him that he would be harming her but he said that the private school used to be what’s best but I am turning it into a nightmare for Augustina. I spoke with my best friends and one of them agrees with me and one with my husband and I don’t know what to think anymore. AITA for only wanting my child to learn another language?

edit: i should mention that this is something that happened a few months back and I am still wondering what to do with it.
