Yeah, these folks have established themselves as the Alphas of the friendship. time to take that crap back
I ordered a bottle of wine at dinner with appetizers. They are food alphas only.
FYP
"Oh please, go ahead and order the appetizers. You know what we like." (Wait until they are done ordering the appetizers..) look at the waiter and say, "and becasue I am so hungry, I am going to go ahead and order the ribeye, medium rare with a baked potato all the way and house dressing on the salad." Then, look at your friends and say, "I am starved, these appetizers just aren't going to cut it this evening." Then look back at the waiter and say, "Which bold flavored cabernet do you recommend that would compliment my dinner and my ravenous appetitie?" Look back at your friends and chuckle pleasently.
Alpha RESTORED. Case CLOSED.
