Unforgettable Scene in the Restaurant

I was with my friend at this fine Italian restaurant enjoying our

meal when a couple walked in. They were seated at a table next to

us. For some apparent reason, the man was in a sour mood.

Accidentally, I overheard fragments of their conversation, and the

man confessed to his wife that he was not satisfied with the

restaurant she had picked.

Meanwhile, the wife was enjoying herself and she placed an

order for wine and the main dish from the menu.  Moments later,

the waiter served them their meal and left. The man took a first sip of

his soup and he realized that he needs to add some salt and pepper

 to make it taste better. Then he sprinkled some salt and pepper and

started to stir his soup.  Suddenly, he saw a fly in the soup and

exclaimed to his wife to take a look.

It was obvious that he was very upset and screamed at

the waiter to come to his table immediately. He demanded to know

why he had not seen the fly  before he served it to a guest.

 Then he started insulting him openly and said that he was

a stupid waiter. He demanded to talk to his manager right away.

Eventually the wife got so nervous because the man had created

an ugly scene in the restaurant. At that point, she tried to calm him down

by pulling his arm. However, the man had evidently made a mountain

out of a molehill.

  Nevertheless, the waiter didn't mind the situation at all. In fact, it

seemed like he had been looking for an excuse to leave his job.

The waiter told him upfront to his face that he quit his job and told

 him to enjoy his soup. Then he took off his apron and left the

restaurant.

The wife got so upset and embarrassed because the man

had ruined her dinner and caused such a big commotion in the

restaurant. She got up and walked out on him while the man stood

there with a baffled expression on his face. I wondered if he had even

 realized the fact that he had not just ruined her dinner but ours, too.
