The Scallion Effect

Summary

I am allergic to scallions.

When we ordered, I specifically asked several times: no scallions.

But when the dish arrived, it was sprinkled with a generous layer of green onions.

Frustrated, I asked the waitress to pick them out.

My boyfriend, however, decided to play the peacemaker:

"Let it go. The girl works hard; it's not easy for her."

Seeing someone on her side, the waitress immediately put down her chopsticks.

"Exactly. A little scallion makes it taste better anyway. If you're this petty about everything, you'll never be happy in life."

I was stunned. I waved her away.
