One week ago, all of co-works were invited to eat out at Sabu Sabu near Koh
Pich. It was bad a luck for accountant, and cashier, I supposed, because they
had time beaked at 5:00pm.
After that, there were only car washers and translator who did not get time
break yet. Fortunately, our boss invited who still were there to eat out at
Sabu Sabu. We were very amazing, but also happy because he paid for.
Five minutes later, we arrived there. We took our seats in a line by facing to
the south. Then we ordered the soup that we liked. When each of us had soup
already, we added ingredients, meat, fruits and, whatever we wanted. The time
was we started eating.
For myself, I took package of chopsticks then tore plastic to take them out. I
used chopsticks by my left hand to pick my food up. Everything had been going
on with happy, smiles, and chitchat altogether. Moreover, we took some pictures
while we was eating. But one of my friends seemed very scared and shied, for he
had never gone there before.

"Don't be scared or shied another people my friend!" I said to him.
"Please, do whatever you usually do with your eating." I added.
Then he brought me up a smile.
One hour and a half, we are fighting our eating with happy. Strongly, a friend
whom I was sitting next to (at my left side), asked me some questions.
My friend: Translator, what time did we start our eating?
Me: Maybe it is 6:25.
(My friend started looking to a big clock, which was hung on the wall.)
My friend: Now it is nearly on time to check out.
Me: No, it is not Saturday or Sunday. Therefore, we may eat free.
(I also looked in my watch on the left hand with caring both chopsticks.)
Then he looked to my face and laughed very loud.
Me: What is wrong? Why do you laugh?
My friend: Look to chopsticks, which you are using to pick the food up. You are
using in wrong way.
(I looked to the chopsticks that were in my left hand. Amazingly, they were
turned over because I used the bottom of chopsticks instead of using the top to
pick my food up for an hour and a half with know nothing.)
Me: Wow, how stupid I am! Eating for an hour and a half ago. Why don't I know?
My friend: Translator, you confuse with using this both chopsticks. Why don't
you confuse wearing ya underwear back to the front
(He started laughing very loud again & many people were around started
looking to me and laughed too.)
Me: Sometimes I really do confuse when I hurry.
All everyone laughed loudly again because I used the bottom of chopsticks to
pick the food up with know nothing. I got face drop.
