That and when a restaurants has a sign that says sit anywhere they rally don’t mean it. They said I had to sit ON a chair.

Yeah, and that whole "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service" thing?

Well, I have a friend who went into a restaurant and he was wearing shoes AND a shirt and they kicked him out.

I mean, that was ALL he had on, but it was in compliance with their rules and they STILL kicked him out. They even called the freakin' COPS!

He NEVER ate there again.

That reminds me of the story of how Edgar Allan Poe got kicked out of West Point in 1831. The Uniform of the Day was posted as white gloves and belt, under arms. So Poe showed up for formation turned out exactly as ordered.

I was kicked out of a restaurant. The sign said “wet paint.” How would I know they didn't mean it that way?

Those signs need to be much more specific.
