Friend Being Cagey About What She’s Going To Order

EVANSTON, IL—After casually asking what she was thinking about getting, patrons at a local restaurant confirmed Tuesday that a friend they were dining with had suddenly started acting cagey about what she was going to order. “Hello, Earth to Sarah, we asked you what you’re getting,” said local woman Sydney Garner, 32, locking eyes with her other friend at the table after her question was met with a mere shrug from behind the menu. “I don’t understand—why is it a secret? Do you think we’re going to copy you or something? It’s not like I’m going to ask to split it. I already know that I want the linguine alle vongole, and I have no trouble sharing that information with you. Great, now you’re calling the server over and silently pointing to what you want, out of our view? Seriously? No, no, don’t try to change the subject by asking how our families are doing. Just tell us what you ordered! We’ll find out soon enough.” At press time, the friend had reportedly flagged the waiter and requested that her order be wrapped up to go.
