(25,453 posts)18. It reminds me of the Seattle Weekly column, Ask an Uptight Seattleite.
That was about a decade ago.
My sister in Seattle told me a Portlandia-type story about she and a friend at a restaurant. The waiter asks them if they'd like dessert and tells them about the specials, ice cream and cakes and so on. My sister launches into an explanation of how she can't have the ice cream because she's lactose intolerant and nothing with flour because of gluten intolerance and her friend tells him about her food intolerances and all the things she can't eat. Afterward they wondered, "Why couldn't we just have said, 'No, thank you'?"
