When I spilled my drink in McDonald's
Ok, so last week I go to McDonald's to eat cuz I haven't been there in a while. I get my order, and head up the stairs to the seating area. (Everything in Taiwan is built vertically, if you didn't know, no room to expand sideways) Anyway, as I set my tray down, for whatever reason, God was in the mood to laugh. I tip over my drink, and the lid flies off, drenching my pants in Sprite ('sui bi' in Chinese). Ok, great. No problem, normally. But in Taiwan, I have no idea to tell someone that I just spilled my drink and ask them to come mop it up. Oh well, I head over to the bathrooms, clean myself up and grab some paper towels to clean it up myself. As I head back, there's some guy mopping up the floor close to where I was. Anyway, I'm hoping that he sees the spill and goes over to clean it up himself. Nope. So I try in vain to clean up a tall cup worth of Sprite and Ice off the floor with a few paper towels. It doesn't work too well. Back to the bathroom. I spot a cleaning cloth, quickly grab it and resume my wiping. Only after I'm done, does the guy come over, judge my cleaning not good enough (it wasn't anyway), and start mopping up the floor underneath my table while I sit there pretending not to notice. *sigh* I wonder what he was thinking, hehe.
