I really don't like going out. I don't like restaurants because I don't like the idea of someone, a waitress, being responsible for my evening.

This is not to say that the Scots are not fine people, but they were all sort of... well, my grandfather was a minister and sort of Protestant, and this was rather depressing to me. ↗
