The gf’s folks often have arguments because they’ve only got the appetite for two courses and he wants starters and she wants dessert. One time many years ago he got so annoyed he ordered tomato soup for dessert. They still argue about it to this day, pretty much every time they’re in a restaurant.

Starters are the best.

Once went to liquor and burn in manchester with the missus and ordered one of each starter without looking at the menu. They had to move us onto a table for four

Clive often orders three or four starters in place of a main course. No problem for any restaurant ever.

Yep it’s great. “yeah mate, whenever they’re ready, tapas style, sound.”

Like dipping stuff in the wrong sauces too

I’d like to get rid of toilet cubicle doors at work.

We all know you’re pooing in there, let us all enjoy the moment with you

I’ve just voted for over half the options because the soup I had for lunch did nothing. SO HUNGRY.

Actually I have a serious one: bidets

Literally everyone should be using a bidet or equivalent water system after taking a dump.

The norm of rubbing dry paper against our arses and then deciding at an arbitrary point that we are now ‘clean’ is something out of a medieval history textbook. Humans of the future will look back at us in disgust, walking around with shitty bottoms literally all of the time

I’ll have a caprese salad please (but I’ll happily have all of the starters, because as we’ve established, it’s the best course by a distance).

The phrases ‘man up’, ‘grow a pair’ etc

Not least for reasons of toxic masculinity but because they’re fucking annoying as shit

I really really like mussels as a starter. That’s my go to.

As a general rule there is probably a 65% chance I’ll order ‘Breaded X’ as a starter though.
