Today I (30F) and my partner (30M) went to all you can eat sushi for lunch. We went to our usual spot, with a cute waitress that we’re both too chicken to ask out… And now we definitely never will.
As I’m enjoying my favorite roll, a piece of seaweed gets stuck in my throat. It’s just moist enough to stick. I try to swallow, I’m met with resistance. I try to stick my finger down my own throat, no success. I’m left with the only option, my body’s natural response: gag.
Except it wasn’t just a gag. Instead, my entire Salmon Skin roll and part of the roll before it came back up and onto the plate in front of me. My partner was horrified. I was horrified. I covered it with napkins and had to wait while all the wait staff were busy.
We tried desperately to get a different waiters attention. But alas, only the cute waitress noticed our plight. I had to explain to her that I had made a grave mistake and needed to dump my plate in the trash. She was very kind and insisted on taking it for me. I’m not sure we can ever eat there again…
TL;DR: I ate too fast, choked, and vomited in front of my partner and the cute waitress we both like at our favorite sushi place. I will never recover.

unless you already speak to her regularly, she probably won’t remember you or the incident after a few days/weeks. the amount of people that you see in the service industry is incredible.
I can pretty much guarantee asking out a waitress was always going to end in flames, hard enough to pull off when you’re single let alone when you want them involved in some kind of swinging/thruple or whatever situation with a couple. Tons of customers hit on servers to the point where most of them are practically immune, their default is just no, plus it can cause drama where they work.
Far better to choke on some food than asking her out and almost inevitably getting shot down which would have been much more embarrassing. I highly doubt you messed up something with the waitress, and in fact probably saved yourself a lot of awkwardness.
