I shouted at a waitress

11th May 2022 Paul Chris Jones

Dear Diary. I went out to a restaurant on the weekend. It's a buffet restaurant but you have to order what you want by ticking boxes on a menu. You can do this up to three times so we did the first round and the food came. And we ordered the second round and nothing came. We were waiting for 40 minutes, an hour, maybe. We had four children with us and the two older ones were getting pretty bored. I was trying to keep them entertained but failing. In the end, we decided to just leave. I had in my mind that I would pay up to €60 which is half the full price because we only ate a third of the food. So for me paying half of what we were meant to be seemed fair. They wanted us to pay like €110. I went up and I got really angry. Like Girlfriend and another mom called Maria said that they've never seen me so angry before. And that next time that Maria had a problem with someone she had sent me to sort it out. I was saying to her, that we only ate one round. And the waitress was looking flustered and trying to get me to stop yelling. We only ate one round, we ate a third of what we should have eaten. So you should charge us a third, they dropped the price to €90 by that point. She scrawled "€90" on a piece of paper. I looked at it in disgust.

It only made me even more furious. "€90 no! We'll pay €60 and that's it!" I yelled.

Then she dropped the price down to €70. At that point, 0-year-old started crying and Girlfriend was telling me just to accept it. I felt my anger deflate. So I accepted €70.

I'm never normally so angry. So it's definitely because of the testosterone that I'm taking. My levels of testosterone now are way high. The last time I got them checked, they were just at the upper limit of normal. It reminds me of my dad. He would often get angry at the waiters and service staff. I reckon he had high testosterone; I don't know about now though that he’s 60.

It's hot today. The sky is a clear blue. It's the kind of heat that would burn a pale person like me. But I wear factor 50 sun cream. This is the kind of weather people think of when they think of Spain. They imagine it's like this all year round. But thankfully, it's only like this from May to September so about five months. Despite the heat, I have a cold. I keep sniffing and sneezing and snot dribbles down my nose. It's a proper cold like the ones usually get in winter, except I have it in late spring.

Imagine if you were an attractive guy — you would be able to get any woman you wanted. Imagine that. Just imagine. To be one of those men would be like being in heaven I imagine. You'd be able to get any woman you who wanted. Just pick her up, carry her home. That's my goal — to get into the special top tier of men. Currently, I'm very, very far from that goal. But I have one massive advantage: I'm taking huge amounts of testosterone. This helps me to put on muscle, and also, as an unfortunate side-effect, shrinks my testicles. Oh well. You can't have it all.

Plus my hair transplant is beginning to grow. So maybe, in a year from now, I'll have something that resembles hair.
