Breakfast Etiquette

Last week I was staying at the very nice Admiral Hotel, located near the riverside in Copenhagen. Like most hotel breakfasts, theirs was a buffer complete with a four slice toaster. I thought it’d be nice to have a single slice of toast with my breakfast, proceeding to put a single slice into the toaster before wandering off to add a few other items to my plate.

I sat down, watching from afar, waiting for the toast to pop when I saw another guy put some bread into the toaster. Thinking nothing of it, he waited for the toaster to pop and proceed to take both slices of bread, including mine.

I’m not quite sure what he was thinking but I certainly found it strange. At least there wasn’t any shortage of bread to toast.

  1. The cheek!! That is rude! Something only half similar happened to me once with the hotel toaster that is the conveyor-style (IYKWIM?)… anyway, I put my bread in and waited right there, not even back at my seat, and someone still took my toast! Weird! I mean, I wasn’t exactly going to chuck a ‘erm that’s my toast’ spack was I? People are strange.
