Looks like the cook had been egging the boyfriend on

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

Glad they're both sticking to their principles and not chickening out.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

I read that over easy as "cock".

Same, it's most likely fake, but the thought of the cook coming out from behind the counter to fight the waffle house guy is hilarious. Instead of calling the cops, they fist fight like gentlemen.

[–] CaptainHowdy@lemm.ee 32 points 10 months ago (1 children)

the best part is the cook is learning new skills each week by trying new ways to cook eggs. the boyfriend is probably getting in his exercise.

they are bettering each other through the feud. I love it.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They're definitely going to end up being best friends

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I picture the cook in the back hearing "Who cooked this shit eggs? Your chef is trash!" and he smirks recognizing the voice as he removes his apron.

[–] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I picture the cook in the back...

At wafflehouse you get a front row seat of the cooks ass-crack while they cook your eggs and soggy hash browns. There is no "back" except the one you're looking at, which, in my mind makes this so much better, because said BF would get to watch his eggs being cooked wrong while staring at his enemies ass-crack.

If this was true, at least. Although I can absolutely see a wafflehouse cook handling customers like this as a proper gentleman should.

[–] Lycist@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

supposedly part of the waffle house cook interview process is asking "Can you fight?"

I dunno how valid that is, but i've heard waffle house cooks get into fights all the time.

[–] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Everytime I've been in a waffle house (like 3 times) everyone who works there is scrawny as shit, except the cook. He (yes, he) is an absolute beast that looks like it's easier for him to move the bar out of the way than go around it, or drag a troublesome customer over it by their nose and deal with the problem there instead of having to deal with the inconvenience of "taking it outside"

Instead of calling the cops, they fist fight like gentlemen.

In two states, Washington and Texas, this would be technically legal. They are the only two that allow "mutual combat". A police officer is legally required to act as a ref though.

Texas has similar law but implicit consent (ie "fighting words") are sufficient, unlike Washington's explicit requirement.

[–] hime0321@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Washington state has no mutual combat law. The only law I can find regarding it is from the Washington code of military justice for dueling. Even then it only says that you must report if you know about a duel or you will “be punished as a court martial may direct.” The only thing I have heard of that relates is that someone could refuse prosecution after a fight and therefore no crime occurred. There is a Seattle municipal code that only forbids fighting if there is risk to others, property, or has a substantial risk to do so.

[–] TechLich@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

That's a shame, I love the mental image of somebody in Washington calling the cops like: "Hello, we'd like to get into a fight please!" and the police responding: "No worries, we'll send someone out to referee!"

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 10 months ago

It is apparently more that it's derived from common law and judicial precedent, as well as not making it explicitly illegal in the RCW. There are cities and municipalities that do explicitly criminalize it, like Tumwater (General Code 9.08.070).

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Them's fightin' words!

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I like to think the cook is watching through the window rubbing his hands together before a quick stretch.

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

If it were true the bf and cook have been banging since the 3rd time they "fought."

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 43 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I get so jealous of people like that cook, who have found a sense of purpose.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why don't you go make me some runny eggs? Chop chop

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago

And then they can go home and get their fucking shine box.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 34 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've seen romances start in weirder fashions.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

My first thought as well. Wouldn't be surprised if this is being used to explain an affair.

[–] peto@lemm.ee 33 points 10 months ago

This is what guys do instead of friendship. You can bet if cook isn't there one week BF is going to go do a wellness check.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

"Man my girlfriend wont let me go anywhere by myself, I cant just sit and scroll on my phone and eat my breakfast without her sitting there talking at me this is fucked"

"I've got an idea.:

[–] parody@lemmings.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ladies, if your man slurpin that raw albumin, remember there are plenty of fish in the sea and not all of them are hard for salmonella

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It sounds like the bf is slurping a different kind of runny white

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have a saying; never piss off the person who cooks your food, cuts your hair, or fixes your teeth.

That cook has just so many options for wrecking or killing that guy that it's not even funny. One of these days he's gonna go back there and come out on a stretcher, or worse, a body bag. And then we'll all find out if this happened in Florida.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Lol in cases like this Florida is the default assumption.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 10 months ago

This is the funniest thing I've read all day.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Cook: I spent 4 years in poaching school for this, bwaa-ha-haaa!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's not her bf anymore, how can she not recognise true love and dedication?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I know what's going on here but I can't talk about it.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

Just tell it to me. I'll keep it a secret.

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

If the cook makes them right the game ends

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That happened...

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, yes, it's the internet. Do you think people just go online and tell lies?

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Of course not; that's illegal!
