civility is a courtesy which is in short supply: Just a case in point here at the Rainbow room of CCHMC. Tall foreign obviously professional person (i suspect MD or research faculty) in a hurry to get food and go back to whatever he was doing, and maybe it was important, just kept doing the “following too closely” thing, as i paused and waited for other people to pass or backup from a counter.  I moved over and said “go ahead, you are clearly pushing”  he was pissed… but i just waited for him to go ahead….  he got soup… ha ha… which was followed by a rather vigorous thrusting of the ladle back into the soup pot which created a mess… i just said “oops” in a high tiny voice.

I wonder if he knew what a bad impression on all of the faculty and staff at children’s hosp that showed.  Besides, it is a rude awakening for him… ha ha… he may know one small field of science very well, but he obviously does not know any physics, or he wouldn’t have tossed a large round bottom ladle into a pot of liquid….  oh well.

BTW, the soup (they called mushroom bisque) was terrible, too salty, and tasted and smelled like the inside of Pier 1 Imports.  ha ha.

DEAR RAINBOW ROOM at CCHMC, that may be the nastiest soup I have ever eaten.
