Now we just need the companion piece, "how to tell people how to order wine without looking like an asshole."

How To Order Wine Without Looking Like An Asshole

13. Sending the wine back – If the wine’s bad send it back! It’s no skin off our nose. Usually we get a credit from the distributor. In most cases, however, people refuse a perfectly good bottle of wine just because they don’t like it. Whose problem is that? Mine? I don’t think so.

I have more arguments about this one. I agree with the waiter -- if you just don't like how it tastes, you don't get to send it back. Sorry, but you made a bad choice. If I tried to return a bottle of wine to my local wine store because I didn't like how it tasted, I'd get laughed out of the store.

Many people don't agree with me, however. They think that "wine which doesn't taste the way I want it to" always = "bad wine" and is therefore okay to send back. I try to never go out to dinner with these people.

From back in the quirkyalone discussion: I got a 109.

I got a 119, which I think might be the highest anyone here has reported, other than ita, who also got a 119. Color me totally unsurprised at my score.

I suspect I only scored lower because there was not an answer to the "when you go to bars..." question that read d) I would rather stay at home and watch Buffy with my cat.

It's generally considered acceptable to send back food you don't like -- why should wine be treated differently?

I got a 126. Whatever that means. I'm not THAT quirky or THAT alone I don't think. I wonder what questions made my score so high.

flea! There was some clarification I wanted to make re: pictures at provocateuse, and now I've forgotten it. Which has little to do with you, since there's no information here, but I was hoping that typing this out would jog my stupid memory.

And what's this going to a bar to meet people thing?

That strikes me as hard.

Was having a conversation or two about accepting stuff in restaurants from strangers. If a guy at the bar (especially when I can't tell which one) pays for a coffee to be sent to my table along with his number (I'm alone), what do I do? Detroit reflexes tell me to run, now and fast. Basically, I just don't like that method of approach, and in Detroit if I drank and didn't take the number, I'm setting myself up to be challenged in the parking lot. If I drink and do take the number, then I'm to be congratulated in the parking lot. If I don't drink, and stay--reproach. If I bolt, then maybe I can make it to my car before he realises what happened. Otherwise more chastisment in the parking lot.

I've been assured that that's just me having been burnt, that in LA I can drink the coffee and take or leave the number as I see fit without any hassle.

Personally, I'd much rather he came over to talk to me.

The quiz doesn't work for married people -- I scored as a quirkytogether, but most of my answers were lies.

Really? I'd only send it back if it tasted wrong, but not if I just didn't like it.
