Do you cut your burgers in half?

Tweet

My family didn't cut burgers in half. Why not? Don't know, we just never did. However, my wife's family did. More specifically, her father did. So, one day I had been out there. We, my wife, her mother and I, had gone out to eat. Her father said he wanted a Schlotzsky's sandwich. So, we detoured by the shop and picked him up his sandwich. We came in, Kathy, my wife's mom, put it on a plate, plopped it down in front of his seat. She called him over. He comes over and before he's even unwrapped the sandwich. Even before he's even sat down, he's demanding: "Kathy, cut this in half." Now, I don't remember what she was doing, but she was doing something else. He sits down and does it again. I mean, he's sitting, but he still hasn't unwrapped the sandwich. Now, when Kathy and my wife, Viv, get going I just stay out of the way. So, I'm also sitting at the table. He yells it again, as if he hadn't been heard the first two times. I lean over and tell him: "It is already cut, Joe." He kind of glares at me, then unwraps the sandwich to see it has, indeed, been cut in half all this time. I can understand why Viv broke off contact with her folks. I can. Have you ever seen people like these? What have you done?
