What Chinese takeout revealed last night So my wife and I are not the type that typically eats out since we both enjoy cooking and like the fact we can control what goes into our food when we make it ourselves.  But last night we were busy so we chose to indulge and order Chinese takeout.  My wife got a small soup and steamed dumplings,  and I got a stirfry dish.  After finishing eating (she finished hers, I ate until satisfied and put the rest away to eat later) I went and got the package with the fortune cookies only to find out they'd given us one.  It dawned on us then that the guy taking orders thought this was for one person!  It makes me wonder just what their reaction was when they saw me (6' 155) come in to pick it up and not a butter golem. Tl;dr:  got a soup, appitzer and one main course at a Chinese takeout for two humans, restaurant assumed it was for one eat beast.
