Guy and girlfriend come into our restaurant for dinner. Guy then secretly tells me he has a ring and wants to propose to her and wants it to be all special. I was to wait until a specific time and come and ask if the table "needed anything else" and them he would say "I do. I need her." And then get down on his knee, etc. etc.

I thought it was cheesy, but hey I wanted to help the guy out and be a part of something like that, so I said I'd do it.

I get to the table and ask the question, he then pops THE question and she burst into tears. But not good happy tears. She then blurts out that she wants to break up and that she was in love another guy, apparently a friend of his.

I just slowly backed away from the table as his entire world came crashing down on him.

As I approached the table, a lady brushed me out of the way and sat down next to the couple there. The couple were obviously on a date. The lady turns to the woman on the date and said, "So, I'm his wife. Who are you?".

Not as awkward as it is sad. I've been a server for a while, and one of my regulars was a older couple. They hadn't been to the restaurant for a few months, but the menu changed and we had lost a bunch of regulars. -I'm clueless- About a month ago the husband comes in alone, and I ask him about his wife. He started crying and told me she died and he was afraid to come in alone. I sat down and hugged him for a while, then grabbed the owner who talked with him over dinner. He stayed 5 hours. Note to all servers, you don't know what kind of day your customer is having. Be a good human.

Went to get coffee one morning, walking down the street when I saw someone fully dressed up as a Star Wars Stormtrooper riding a unicycle.
