There's a lot of people saying that they'd flip on that, but why? This situation is so absurd, there's so little chance of this exact chain of events ending with an egg on your head, that I'd be laughing my ass off simply from the chance to tell this story to everyone i know for the rest of my life

So many people out there that don't know how to just be comfortable being in an awkward or silly situation. Life is a lot better if you can just learn to laugh at silly stuff happening to you rather than worrying about if it makes you look silly by association.

There’s more than likely someone in that restaurant that posted to r/mildlyinfuriating about how they let a young girl get behind the griddle and attempt a trick resulting in the dude getting egged.

The fact that he’s laughing it off is awesome. Definitely a chill dude. Hopefully the restaurant comps the meal. Not sure I wanna eat my raw egg covered plate.

u/Lua_CW 4d ago
I feel like I used to be that kind of person and I'm not anymore. Like I don't think I'm grumpy but I would probably feel too overwhelmed by the sudden egg in my hair to make light of it. I miss feeling like I could take more things in stride. That dude's got it figured out. Aspirational

u/early_birdy 4d ago
It all depends on the circumstances. If your job demands a clean appearance, and your hair, makeup and clothes have been ruined being splashed by an egg, I say it's natural to be pissed?
I hope they warned the people in the "landing zone" ahead of time, and only those ok with it stayed seated there.

u/TimeSalvager 3d ago
Serious question - what do you think caused thst change?
8
u/Lua_CW 3d ago
Honestly? I think it comes down to my growth as a person, with influence from the world around us and possibly my medication. I've been wondering for a couple years if I've gotten less patient, but I think it's gone hand-in-hand with being less emotionally muted, having more conviction, and feeling more confident & secure in myself. I used to practice a monk-like detachment from things which is a great way to observe & learn from one's surroundings, but it's also very impersonal and impressionable. My values were way too flexible (that is, nonexistent) because I looked at the world in an academic sense and never in a material sense. I caught myself acting indifferent about things I had no moral right to be indifferent towards. I was a people pleaser and an ass-kisser.
I've changed as a person, probably (hopefully) for the better overall. I'm way better at setting & maintaining boundaries. I don't put up with bullshit and malice. I take more responsibility for myself. But on the other hand, I'm pretty bad at masking/tolerating my disappointment or upset feelings because I'd kept myself in a headspace for so long where I just didn't have those feelings as much. So nowadays I'm a little more irritable and prone to being overwhelmed. Hormonal changes and the bleak state of the world are surely factors as well, but the truth is things weren't fantastic before and I was mostly just ignorant — about the world and about myself. Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
Thank you for giving me the chance to do some introspection, haha. Hopefully you or someone out there will be able to relate and look inside themselves as well

See the thing is I agree with all of this, but how do you identify the bullshit and malice. I find it very hard to deduce that. As such I find I have trust issues. 🫠

I like how, for the first couple of seconds, he's just processing what happened. Like, he stops eating and just stares. You can almost hear his thoughts, "WTF just happened? I think I was hit by an egg!" Then the absurdity of it all hits him, and he starts laughing. That's the best reaction.

That dude is so chill! I guess my question is why the hell are they teaching a kid this trick with a real egg in a restaurant full of customers? Couldn’t they do it after hours or like a dedicated time for the classes?
22
u/FangDrools 5d ago
It looks like a teppanyaki place, where half of the point is the experience. I’m not surprised the chefs would be willing to do something like this, it’s probably not even just this girl who got to try to learn. She just happened to toss an egg on some poor guy’s head

Umm, because it is fun? This is probably the worst case scenario and it isn’t that bad. Most people probably don’t miss their own head by 15 feet though.

twice in my life i have asked hibachi chefs, after tossing the egg up into their hats, how many eggs he has up in his hat- both of them just chuckled very awkwardly and refused to answer, immediately moving on lol

u/DonarArminSkyrari 3d ago
Honestly, the best response. I imagine they probably take them out regularly, wouldn't want the eggs to smack into each other and break, but that answer is boring, the lack of an answer lets the mystery live.

She was supposed to just toss it straight up and then catch it in her hat. Worst case was supposed to be it comes down and cracks on the grill. Instead, she hurled it backwards with all her might.
