Leave your garbage on the coffee bar instead of putting it in the trash right at your feet... Put the dripping decanter on the tablecloth instead of on the saucer where you found it... Reach across the table for jelly and drop some on my tablecloth.. go ahead... I don't mind. I already have to wash it because that bozo next to you dripped syrup on it... no big deal at all..
We put the syrups out on a small plate because they do drip. Where do guests put them? Right on the tablecloth. I can guarantee that on the day I serve anything with blueberry sauce I am going to be washing the tablecloths. I don't know what it is about blueberry sauce.
It boggles my mind that guests must really think I want to wash these tablecloths everyday because the teabags go right on the tablecloths, the jam spoons follow and the eggy knives are right behind.
I dread biscuit mornings as I know I will be vacuuming everywhere to get the crumbs up.
I should stop complaining. The season is about over. Another week and then I have LOTS of time off.
