  • i work at Ryan's buffet btw. :P and i loooove Olive Garden!

  • well i'm a cashier at a restraunt and i get customer anxiety like i studder and talk fast when they talk to me. i'm fine if i'm not working (i don't studder), but when i'm working I'm just nervous all the time. i've never had a studdering problem in my life until this job. (today was my 3rd day on the job). idk comment back. i understand ur pain. btw looooooooove the shirt! great band!

  • Why tip people for doing their FUCKING JOB!?

  • @Freedan111 servers only get paid about $2.50 an hour

  • @Betsy13666

    If you are stupid enough to work for $2.50 an hour, then that's YOUR FUCKING problem.

  • ya no me to im like 4foot tall

  • I'm the same way so I like going to places and requesting people who I know will sit down or at least kneel down to take my order or just talk while waiting for

    food... But like, that too is uncomfortable because by that point it's like ordering and paying a friend to get you junk... Which is just awkward... Restaurant anxiety kinda sucks but whatever. =^]

  • I can't have one part of my body wet like I can't have just my hands wet or just my face I don't know why

  • dude shit i want to meet you lol, i live in texas too!

  • what bothers me is when i go to a friends house and there are more people there i just cant like talk i kinda am shy but if i am just with my friends or just with strangers i am fine

  • what the hell is that song i realy want to know

  • i remember a waiter just sat with us to write down our order, it was actually so much easier and a nicer experience

  • if you hate it so much WHY DON"T YOU JUST quit complaining and STAND UP?

  • @juniorbazaar cause that's even more rude, stupid, and ... well, stupid, stfu

  • i cant order 4 myself i feel like they are counting on me to order something totaly diff then what i get and at drive thrus i cant look in the window thing idk why i just cant

  • im totaly with u!

  • im the same way. its OCD i hav OCD i know what it is if u hae any questions pm me i can help

  • Your videos are hilarious!! but on this one i do think it's just you..... :)

    I am only 5 ft 4'' so I am used tto looking up .... it's okkay tho I AM NOT SHORT! i am averag height for a female in the UK!!!!

    hmm.... maybe thats what bothers me? I may have a height anxiety...?

    :) keep up the videos

  • I feel ya. I make an effort to look up, then I forget what I was ordering.

    :/

  • I love you Brent, but its just you.

  • Most of the time waiter/waitress, I'm taller than them...and all I do is just remember that and I'm fine

  • If you're serious about this, I feel you on this one...

    I can see why you would feel uncomfortable with a man towering over you....what about a waitress though who is standing over you? Do you feel the same way about them?

    My problem is crowds. I cannot stand being in a gaggle of people invading my personal space and elevators drive me nuts even though they last like 30 seconds to a minute depending on what floor you're going to.

    Remember though, you're the customer, you got the power!

  • Thanks... FOR WEIRDING ME OUT!

  • This video is an older one I know but, I have just general anxiety... and I can tell you now, that fricking SUCKS! Lame Lame Lame! It's worse when I stay in one place at once for too long, like cinema or on public transport... I'm talking worst case scenario here.

    Anyway Brent, your brilliant. :D

  • I'm not bothered looking up at waiters/waitresses, even though I'm taller for a chick. I always make it a point to make intense eye contact with the food server for two reasons 1) so they know not to fuck with me 2)so they know not to fuck with my food. That's right. *shake fist* Plus, I find it slightly ironic that I'm staring people down while they're staring down at me. HECK YAH! Yay for irony!

  • Looking up at waiters or waitresses dosn't bother me, but I'm only 5'6'' so I'm kind of used to it...I guess. The thing that really makes me uncomfortable is legitimately nice people who I get along with, then mention a stance on politics or economics or religion or race or w/e, that I don't agree with. I just kinda go into, "Yeah. Ahuh." mode, and I feel rude but I just can't bring myself to reinforce them on something I dont believe. Feels weird. Lol.

  • now you know how short people feel! ha!

  • i feel your pain man! im 6'2'' it's so weird to look up at anyone really

  • I have it too. D:

  • i have restaurant anxiety too :S

    but its not that i dont like talking to someone on a ''higher level'' than me,

    i just can't get myself to talk to the waiter & say what i fricking want!

  • the one thing i'm scared of is; standing infront of people representating something i dont stand for or cant back-up.

  • i know this is an older video, but you should come up to Ottawa and eat at Milestones because the tables are actually on a step type thing so you're not looking UP at any waiters... plus you should just come up to ottawa because we're awesome!!

  • I can't send my food back. It makes me feel like I'm bothering the waiter and being ungrateful for the food they are cooking for me. My boyfriend has to ask the waiter to fix my food for me.

  • ahh i fucking love your shirt

    im jelouse

    really jelouse

    very jelouse

    so fucking jelouse that ummm i could hit my baby brother thats a little bitch

    .......................yeah that jelouse

  • lol! you have no idea! i get this feeling all the time even when i'm standing! cuz i'm only 4'11:)

  • Comment removed

  • IM a Guy, and I happen to enjoy gazing into the eyes of another good looking guy!

  • Got it figured out:

    you are freaked out about sitting down at the table, and having some guy walk up to you Knowing that his Genitals are at eye level to you !!! Would you prefer a midget waiter?

  • what bothers me is, when i am dreaming and i cant move my legs, have u ever had that!? omg i hate those dreams with the burning intensity of a thousand desert suns!!!

  • To be perfectly honest I hate looking up at anyone XD

  • pretend your legs fell asleep and as you pace, take your order. That way, you can get your food while being on the same level...you are alone though...sorry XD

  • I'm 6' too and I can't stand taller people either. That and when people are older than me. I think these are because I'm so much use to being taller and older than all of my friends.

  • U r alone in this man...I don't have a problem looking at people taller than me..if there's anyone taller than me

  • stand up when you order! problem solved! lol

  • It is just you.

  • i feel the same way

  • I know dude I'm 6'2" and I have a anxiety with taller people. I'm used to looking down at everyone, and every time i see somebody more than a couple inches taller i get freaked and i can't look at them.

    And it's probably the same for them.

  • The fuck, Brent?

  • I feel the same way. I hate loomers...

  • wow would u look at that hair!

  • lets say if i ordered a sub in a restruant, not a fancy one but you know casual kind of apple bee's restruant, i could eat half the sub and say im full, but when im at home i could down that shit in like 3 minutes!! WTF?!?!

  • no dude you're not alone on that. i have the same problem. i'm like 7"6" or somethin like that and i'm not used to guys bein all way humongo on me. and what really bothers me is that i say like and um and uh and so and like you know and all that shit cause i stammer. what really really annoys me though is the fact that whenever i'm in the tunnel(surfing term) i can never keep mah balance cause it's so aaah-mazing!!!!! if you're a surfer you'll know what i mean.

  • No.... I am terrified of speaking up in a restaurant because I have an accent, and it's sometimes hard to understand me.

    My other problem is whenever someone says Hi from behind me, and I freak out. It's creepy!

  • When the kid in the booth infront of you stares at you while you eat. He is like in one booth, and you are in the booth behind his parents in the opposite seat...an he just fucking stares at you..............makes me wanna kill things.

  • i thought that was going to be a dirty drawing...

  • I've been a waiter for more than a year and I understand you. I try to get down on your level when I take orders, but it's not always possible. Some managers don't like it and some will get you in trouble for it. It doesn't look good to them.

  • You saw me, BITCH!

    -btyler

  • lol brent you are adorable =) im the same way, but it was even worse for me when i worked as a waitress. i couldnt make eye contact with the customers, and then i think they thought i was a bitch. i didnt make much money that way lol! i definatly know how you feel =)

  • Silk .. I'm afraid of silk =X

  • I am the exact same way lol. I'm 5'10" so I'm pretty tall for a chick and I just can't look at them. It freaks me out too. You're not alone haha.

  • I'm a girl and i'm i guess tall........5'8"ish

    and i can't look at waiters either so your so not alone

  • ffs! noticed it yesterday!!!

  • Ok so my thing that bothers me is this. People that i know(or somewhat know) come up to me and start talking to me. Im not the kind of guy that will be rude about that so i just have a conversation with them. But in my head im like "AUGH!!!!! GO THE FUCK AWAY!!!!!!!" Idk if its just me send me a message if you have a thing somewhat like that"

  • you're not the only one. and your dipples are so cute.

  • at TGI Fridays if theres room on your table, the waiters will sit down with you when you order. thats cool!

  • you are so not alone lol it bothers me two

  • Truly, what the hell is your probelem? I seen you flame Brents vids at least 3 times. Do you not like him or something? Did he say something? WHAT? (send me a message)

  • wow... i just read of three different types of "restaurant anxiety" with which i can relate; eating in public, overuse of niceties, and looking at the waiter. so i would say to you, brent, do not feel badly because at least you are not me. ha

  • i've got "restaurant anxiety" but a different kind.. what i get so weird about is that i ALWAYS end up saying thank you to the waiter/waitress about 137 times, and i start to feel awkward, but even when i realize i've already said it a bunch of times, i KEEP saying it! then i think the waiter feels obligated to keep saying it back ahahaha

  • you're not the only one, i can't look at waiters in the face either.

  • what's the song near the end of this video? I'm really liking it

  • i never thought about it but watching this yeah i do

  • Uhmm what really bothers me is accually looking into a persons eyes when Im talking to them . I kinda have a thing for eyes and if the person has relly pretty eyes ill be like " woah ! your eyes are so pretty but I just cant look into themm aghh !!!! " cus if I look into someones eyes I feel like they can see what Im thinking and it makes me all nervous cus inside my head , I admit im kind of a bitch but that cant be helped ... but yahh I cant look into a persons eyes .. its so weird for me !!

  • I know what you mean about the pretty eyes thing...but I don't think they might possibly know what we're thinking but what we are feeling...When I see a person with pretty eyes and I know they are not contacts, in my head I'm thinking

    "Are you even from this planet?"

  • it bothers me to eat in public places

    i feel like everyone is staring at me

    its really weird

  • it bothers me too

  • Well im 5'0 so if I served you id probably be on your plane.

    I got this thing that I don't like dead skin or scabs, I cant help but pick at them [weird part] even if they're not on me.

    Example.. In health class and the kid next to me is pealing cause of a nasty sun burn. I offer to peal his back. He agrees [no one else appreciated that]

  • I have the same prob sometimes. I also hate it when I walk into a store (like in a mall, not Wal-Mart or a big store) and the employees are overly-nice and are like "How are ya today?!" I don't know why, but I never know what to say to them...and then when I don't say anything I feel like a dick.... Meh.

  • I've got O.C.D lol it sucks but funny at the same time haha

  • oh an what bothers me about lol forgot bout that part is that people want to mess with me because I have it lolz like they will move something on my desk and I've gotta move it back like 3 times to make sure it was in the same spot haha

  • i cant do that either so its not a guy thing even if the waiters a girl i still cant look at their eyes

  • o and i cant make eye contact with hot guys

    -.-

  • haha i cant do it either =D

  • i have the same problem its really not you

  • well i feel bad for people who are short...and have "restaurant anxiety"

    lmao

  • i have that problem cause im like super tall to everyone else and i dont like people taller than me

  • I feel the same way,when people are taller then me it kinda scares me because Im taller then most people.

  • Hah hah! Now you know how I feel. I'm 4'11 and I have do that with EVERYBODY! lol

    I get terrified of dogs (medium to big ones). Also, there's this huge shopping mall a few hours away from me (3 or 4 stories high i think) and when I look down from the top floor, I get so scared! lol

  • waiter thing makes sense, but i'm a good 5 feet tall, so i'm used to looking up at ppl :] so i don't really think i relate to it

    but yeah if you've noticed, i've commented on alotta your stuff :]

    all almost at the same daay.. buuut

    usually when i add ppl i look at all their vids because

    well

    yeah so that's a little something an dsomething to know why this girl keeps commenting :]

  • I served for 5 years man

    believe me

    nothing new

    at least you speak english!

  • is that a scary kids scaring kids tshirt hmm?

  • I REALLY hate it when you ask for your food in a to go box, and the waiter just tosses you a little box, and doesn't care to put the food in it for you. I always leave a bad tip when that happens.

  • Wouldn't you feel like a belittled baby, if the waiter _did_ kneel or bend over to put his face closer to yours? Keep the distance.

  • Oh man. You are so funny. I love me some OG too.

    Very cute dimples. :)

  • Looks like an SKSK shirt :D awesome

  • The greatest thing to come from sxephils mouth was you..you are awesome. i don't like going to the bathroom with other people in there. They can't see me i'm in the stall, but what if they look under and they see my shoes and they'll know who I am! So I lift my feet up, but that doesn't work because then I'm looking like a psycho with my feet hovering off the ground, going to the bathroom oh and the cracks..why? is there a crack where people can see your potty face?

  • most really good waiters will kneel down to eye level when you order.....next time just karate chop him in the groinal region....then bam...eye level!

  • OMG! i am the exact same way!!!! and im a girl lol

  • I work in a deli and even though I have never seen heard of or experienced anything worse than nicking my finger on the slicer have constantly have visions of horrible things pop through my head when doing things. i.e. something like slipfalling into the fryer, or the slicer blade coming undone and flinging like a Frisbee into someone. I know they never happen but I'm always just a touch creeped out about the "possibility" of them happening.

  • LOL this is so true!

  • I'm afraid of falling elevators.

    And I HATE looking waiters/waitresses in the eye.

    Frickin creeps me out, man.

  • i get scared when im in stores or wherever talking to someone or asking for help. idont know why but i get really nervous and have to ask someone else im with to ask a question or pay

  • Unfortunately, my problem is the very thing you wanted us to do - talk about ourselves!

  • What you're feeling is called social anxiety, (situationally). Avoiding eye contact is pretty normal too.

  • k

    never heard of that before

  • one thing that bothers me is realy ugly people it might sound mean but it's true. (no brent this does not include you)

  • Yeah... you do have a problem.

  • aha...i have the same thing...also, if im getting yelled at, i CANNOT look the "yeller" in the eyes...it just bothers me...

  • Soo I think I might make a video response to this, also! YAY!

    Anyway, NOT my point. My point was I JUST noticed your shirt and that band is from my town. In fact, they lived REALLY close to me. Unfortunately I never met them. But If you like A Change Of Pace (also from my town) I know two of those guys! lol

    ^_^ randomness! yay

  • Oh my gosh, I have the same exact anxiety as you!

    ...Minus the whole... man-tallness... I am not a man.. and I am not tall.. ^^;

  • XD haha. You're cuuute <3

  • What really bothers me is when ever you ask some one to explane something and then you understand it but they just keep explaning and they go on and on!

  • i dont know wat it is wit ME but i cant stare at the im tlin 2 nd give dem dat hey i love u stare if u know wat i mean. its just crazy nd i just cant do dat its weird. i try but i nevr succeed. so dats wat bothers me

  • what bothers me is ur in a place with a lot of other peps and then u got like a ked crying a baby scremming and so on an so foth

  • umm i cant say i have that problem.....i am scared that ppl spit in my food tho, thats y i dont eat out much so mayb since it bothers u, u should just stay home or order take out

  • i kinda like that too... i get kinda quite and its kinda weird

  • lol u made me paranoid about this!

  • What's the name of the song ?

  • fed out i think

    ha ha brent u gave me the curse!

    lol love the vids

  • YOUR NOT ALONE! lolz i cant order stuff by phone...no clue y...but i cant

  • your not the only one!

  • i am a waitress and they tell us to try and get on everyone else's level but it depends on the situation. if its busy there is no way in hell anyone is going to do that.

  • ... your right, i wont be able to look at my waiter/ess now.

    if there is perferation on a paper, i have to rip it... :P

  • I swear I have the exact same thing. Drives me up the wall, and generally makes you feel awkward.

  • sksk rocks

  • I have that problem too if I am sitting close to the edge of the table where it involves lots of neck craning to look up at the person. Its usually OK if you are on the other end of the table and you can just glance slightly up to see them though. But I totally got you on that. haha.But I also feel weird when they kneel down next to the table..at lest I think so.

  • me too for sure im a girl

  • I agree, you're not alone!

    Awesome shirt, by the way!

  • your not alone buddy

  • lol Brent it's totally cool I get what you mean. I work at a restaurant and the waiters are actually supposed to lean down or knee down, or whatever so that they're on other peoples level or below their level so that the customers don't feel awkward and uneasy.

  • That makes me feel even more awkward...

  • i can ask out a frikkin girl!!!! AAAAAHHHHKKKKK

  • i have that 2!!!!! lol haha  =D ive subbed coz i dunno your just great ha =P

  • just look at your menu and point to it as the waiter looks over your shoulder.

    thats what i do.

    i kind of have the same problem as you.

    but i can normally overcome myself if its a MUST to make eye contact with the waiter.

  • it didnt bother me... now it does :(

  • hahhahahah On the spot!

  • ok me to but not a manly thing cuase im a girl

  • definitely just you

  • And that bothers me, because I have to walk through that floor, every day, so, it's annoying.

    But what bothers me more, is when people aren't original, so you buy something, or you make something different, like create a site or something like that, or even if it's just something you're addicted to, and somebody else does just the same thing!

    AARGH, it's horrible.

    Thanks again xD

    Kiss *

  • There is something that has been bothering me lately..

    It's that I have a shopping center right in front of my school, so I'm almost always there.

    And in one part of the shopping, there's this floor that isn't right!

    Like, the colors aren't good, the symbols neither, and it is NOT proportional, and it has these really little black points in the ground, I don't know, my friends say I'm crazy, but I think it's really annoying.

    Thanks for reading my big stupid comment xD

    *

  • mmmm LOVE Olive Garden!!!! so yummy!

    "Bleh NO, I'm not gunna say that!"

    5/5

  • last time i ate out was at texas roudhouse. we sat in a booth that was elevated about a foot. then the waitress came and she was not tall. it was eye to eye.

  • your totally not alone haha

    when i go in a restaurant and i order it feels like my necks gonna break lol. haha

  • ahhh I'm the same way.

    all waiters should be required to be in a wheelchair or something.

    that could either help or make it more awkward...hmm.

    :]

  • i do the same thing. i cant look at the waiters. i always have to look at the menu when im talking. i start looking at them and i get nervous so i point to the menu for some reason.

  • Your not alone lol. I can't look at them either. But lol I have diagnosed Social Anxiety Disorder. But yeah can't look at waiters when im ordering.

    Yes im weird.

  • rubbing fingers across a chalkboard hurts my teeth :D

  • Napoleon Complex whilst sitting below another person.

  • I don't like waiters. I feel like I can never trust them because I'm always getting the impression they're judging me. Call me crazy but having people I don't know judge me just for walking into their restaurant kind of creeps me out. It's even worse when you actually have your food and they so HAPPEN to come by while you have food in your mouth and they ask you, "How's the food?" What are you going to do? Talk with your mouth full and then have it go all over your plate? Ick...

  • hahahaha.

    little stick figure man X-)

  • bahahha dude that happens to me too!! idk wwhy but it scares me...

  • dude, Ever notice that when you ask for a bit more time too order, They come 20 frigin minutes later! It's so frigin annoying!

  • I can't make eye-contact exactly, but I do look up at them... Another thing. Love the shirt

  • i like how a billy joel song pops up as a related video

  • loool, i loooooooved the ending!!

  • Well, it's kinda weird... Sometimes it bothers me too, but especially when the person is a man, because i'm a man too, and somehow it gives a psychological pressure on me like 'hey you tiny gnome there, don't piss me off' or something

  • i dont think it's just at restaurants...

    since you are a bit on the taller side... you are used to having people be shorter than you

    and having someone taller than you freaks you out...especially lots of people

    i'm like 5'8''-5'9''...pretty tall for a chick

    and i like FREAK OUT when there are too many people taller than me

    i think it has to do with like an inferiority complex or something

    O.O

  • Nah.

    I always just stare at the menu.

  • duuuude! i have the same freakin problem! gaaah! its so frustrating!

  • I AM A WAITER AND A SHORT ONE AT THAT...BUT THE THING THAT PISSES ME OFF 2 NO END IS WHEN PEOPLE CHANGE THINGS ON ORDERS!!!!!!! YOU PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO THE COOK OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO CHANGE THE MEALS THAT HE HAS TO ARRANGE THEN REARRANGE!!! sorry..needed to get that off my chest...point is...make a choice and don't change it...please for the love a god...just don't...it annoys us all except you.

  • little man syndrome?? kidding.

  • Im a waitress! I like when people look up when I take their orders!

    It makes me feel happy and more comfortable. What do you suggest we do? when we take an order shall we crouch down or sit with the customer?

    Enjoyed the video though, it was funny.

  • i think about my order b4 they come to take it and i try to sound clear for them

    but... i think about it to much and sound like a total duffis wen they ask me wat im getting

    and i understand the whole being lower then them and not making eye contact im 6' 5" and i even feel like that lol

  • I hate looking directly at the waiters/waitreses!!!! You're not alone! good drawing too haha.

  • nahhh, I have problems with that too =X

    & I'm kinda freaked out when people tap their fingers. Like... people waving their fingers, wiggling their fingers, drumming/tapping their fingers... I have a problem with fingers.

  • ooooh! you said shit on youtube! can you say shit on youtube!?

  • i'm afraid of elevators

  • I have to look at the menu when I'm ordering, perhaps I have the same problem? What bugs the crap outta me is when they only give you about 38 seconds to look at the menu before asking to take your order, it puts too much pressure on me. And by the way, you're welcome to visit anytime! You would be completely cool to hang out with. We'll find a giant-free place to get a bite, too.

  • mmm....lets go to olive garden...

  • your answer = xanax

  • lol...I can't make eye contact with them either so your not alone !!

  • i fear really big people...

  • lol, I think it's just you. I was a server once, I haven't seen anyone not able to make eye contact with me, but then again, I am only 5'2", so someone like you wouldn't be that much shorter than me, so, I guess, consider the source, eh? My idiosyncrasy is that I don't like to eat out by myself. I'm not the only one, I hang out with people that have the same problem. blah!

  • Nah, it isn't just you. You said you're almost six feet tall... I'm five feet two and a half and I get a lot shorter when I sit (if you can imagine that). I hate going out to eat because I have to look up at everyone, not just the waiters. -_- When I worked at my sister's restaurant, I'd sit down with the people to take their orders (it was all chairs, no booths) and people seemed a lot more comfortable.
