Clapping

When should you clap your hands?
Just for shits and giggles, I decided to consult the almighty and all-knowing Google. This is what Google had to say:
So when should you clap your hands?

  • If you're happy and you know it
  • You're congratulating someone
  • If you're a moron and you want to clap at the end of a movie (the movie can't hear you dumb ass) 
  • You're watching a sports game
  • You're at a play
  • You're at a concert
  • You're a seal
  • You're super excited
  • You're at a social event
When should you not clap your hands?

When a server or bar tender, or whatever the fuck drops and breaks either a plate or a glass. You're not funny. In fact, you're an asshole. Why is it okay for you to clap when this happens?
This just recently happened to me. I was clearing off a table, taking the empty glasses back to the bar, and I dropped one of them as I was setting it on the bar. A customer looked up at me and said, "I'd clap, but it looks like you've had a really long day." Yeah no shit dumb fuck. What tipped you off? The horrible dark circles under my eyes, or the general look of I hate my life.
When you clap or cheer when someone drops something, you're a dick. Consider this: your server has been working all day. They have dealt with people who they really didn't want to have to deal with, and have been at their beck and call for possibly hours. They're tired, sore, and cranky, and then they drop something. That was probably the worst thing that could have happened to them at that point, and then some dip shit, or multiple dip shits, start clapping. If you enter a restaurant and you have previously been one of the "Clappers," the next time you see a server drop and break something, please...rethink clapping and cheering. It really is a dick move.
