Don't nobody ever eat 50 eggs

   One weekend I was working we had a group of about 100 kids and 20 adults, one of these adults was English, REALLY English.  At the first days breakfast I had put out hard boiled eggs, so this british guy comes up to me and says something that at first sounds like total gibberish (this guy could have been a Pikie in Snatch) I just say excuse me, to which he replies "somethings wrong with yer eggs, I think theyre too fresh" (picture that phrase with an accent halfway between a Glasgow and a Cockney) At this point I was pretty confused, now I was under the impression that eggs were supposed to be fresh, I mean who wants old eggs? so I respond with "how do you mean", to which he just replies "yer eggs are too fresh, theyre hard to peel" so I did what I always do, I gave him the generic "We'll do better next time".  At this point this guy goes up to all three of my employees individually and repeats this exact same conversation.  For Lunch a few hours later, this same bloke requests I bring out some hardboiled eggs, which I do, he eats one and repeats his same tirade from the morning "somethings wrong with yer eggs, I think theyre too fresh", I just tell him theyre left overs from the morning and we havnt had time to fix the problem.  After he goes around and repeats this same complaint with all 3 of my employees.  The next day for breakfast the guy comes up to me and says the same thing, no originality with the English, "somethings wrong with yer eggs, I think theyre too fresh" I ask what do you suggest sir, he asked me "well how long do you let yer eggs sit out" to which I respond "this is America sir, we refrigerate our eggs in this country" (to those of you thinking I was being condescending well I was, however I was also being honest America and Canada are the only countries where it is necessary to refrigerate your eggs), he told me its ok just leave them out for a few days, I explained in America unlike in Europe if we dont refrigerate our eggs they will go bad, I went onto explain that we used anywhere from 1000-7500 eggs a week, we sometimes got eggs delivered twice a week, and there wasnt EVEN enough time to leave them out to get "less fresh" before we used them.  He nodded and said, theyd be better if they werent so fresh,  I said yes sir.  This Guy went on to complain to all three of my employees.  The worst part is that for the next 2 days this guy did the same fucking thing everytime we served hard boiled eggs.  If the british had a sense of Humor I would have thought he was fucking with me, alas no he was just another annoying individual who still thinks England and its culture is relevant.  Lesson of the day, if the eggs are fresh and you dont get sick, SHut the fuck up.
