2. Some people stop talking when you take their dishes. I often assume it's because they were in the process of unburdening childhood psychological scars to their fellow diners. Or maybe they think I'll judge them.
3. Some people are perfectly happy to pay quite a bit for a meal and then not eat it all.
4. Sometimes people set themselves dining challenges - like the "how great a surface area can I cover with this dip" or "I'll wedge some serviettes and rubbish into the table because that will be helpful" challenges.
5. When you put coffee and tea dregs, leftover lime spiders, lemon squash, water, and milkshakes into one bucket, it looks like this:
Yes, it was a very big bucket. And when you put your hand in that mixture to fish out solids, it will be cold.
6. Some people like to play little dining games - like "how precariously can I stack these dishes to 'help' the waiter" or "I am an adult and will drop food all over the floor" (a less arduous variant of its sister challenge).
7. Running an efficient dish cleaning system can be immensely satisfying.
8. Watching other people undo your system can be immensely unsatisfying.
9. Working in a team to clear dishes can be heart warming.
10. Some people do not want your help, but would rather be confused by themselves. Perhaps being confused in front of another person is stressful.
