I know a guy that ALWAYS sends food back or complains about a meal at a restaurant. He makes a big stink and often the owner or someone will send a free desert to shut him up. It is embarrassing to go to restaurants with him. I am no shrink but he seems to enact some sort of power in getting the people to cowtow to him. Probably the same with Michelle
I wouldn't go with him unless you don't mind foreign bodily fluids mixed in with your meal.
It's worse than embarrassing, it's dangerous. Have you tried to explain to him what restaurant workers sometimes do to abusive patrons? And since you are with him, you're at risk of getting a "special," too.
That guy probably consumes 100 lbs of saliva per year
