If a waiter thinks their guest can digest such a blurt of information, they don’t know how humans work. This isn’t ADHD, this is being in a new environment with lots of stuff already there to process. And then you want me to listen to your TED talk about your diner? Just gimme the fucking menu, I can read!

Like so many other ADHD symptoms, it’s one of those things that’s a pain for some neurotypicals but much worse for people with ADHD.
It’s beyond that. People also have trained themselves to tune out of greetings and handle them on autopilot.
Decades ago I was required to answer the phone with “Thank you for calling Domino’s Pizza, will this be for pickup or delivery?”
Around 50% of the time, the response I got was some variation on “Yeah hi, do you deliver?”
The specials aren’t on the menu. I actually get something out of the little talk.
The person who downvoted you for listening to someone else talk is a hilarious reminder of what kinds of mindsets are out there
Rule 1, my friend.
“We all pee too, but if we’re doing it 60 times a day, that’s a problem”
