Which is nearly always a mistake, but I figured that I could get a quick bite to eat and escape with minimal damage.     While I was ordering, I accidentally caught my laundry wound on the edge of my pocket and started bleeding again.   I was still waiting for my food when I realized the blood was running down my finger.  I grabbed some napkins and managed not to bleed on the floor.   The fries weren&#8217;t ready, but they said they would bring them over to me.  <\/p>\n<p>So, I sat down with my book and started eating.  The sandwichs were, to my surprise, prepared correctly.   To my further surprise, they actually tasted good.   Amazing.  <\/p>\n<p>And then the timer on the fryer went off.   The strident beeping could be heard throughout the resturant.   And it was unending.   Not like a microwave that will eventually shut itself up &#8211; these just keep beeping and beeping.  It was bad enough that I couldn&#8217;t read.    And you know it&#8217;s got to be bad if I can&#8217;t read.<\/p>\n<p>My sister has complained about this in the past &#8211; she has very sensitive hearing.  My hearing isn&#8217;t as good as hers, but I&#8217;m more easily annoyed now that I&#8217;m a little older. <\/p>\n<p>I ate more quickly than I would I have liked and pretty much gave up on the book.     Could have been a good experience, but the assault on my ears was too much.
