Anyone else feel awkward when the mariachi band comes by? You smile and nod when they sidle up beside your table, but of course you can’t sing along. You don’t want to eat while they’re playing, or resume conversation with your guests because that would be rude, so you smile and wait it out. Should you tip? How would you even tip when their hands are full? I’m trying to eat Combo #4. Please move along. I’ll enjoy it more when you’re 10 feet away.
I Don't Get It 
One time I went to a karaoke bar with friends, and this guy brought his saxophone to play (which was unique on its own) but then he came and sat in the chair right next to me and started saxophone serenading me. So. Painfully. Awkward.

O.M.G. And you don’t want to be mean and tell him to skedaddle. Tough position to be in. I take it he didn’t look like a Hemsworth brother?

Right??? My husband couldn’t rescue me either because he was up next to karaoke and waiting by the stage! (And no – he certainly didn’t look like a Hemsworth brother haha!)

What a poignant shot. I don’t mind Mariachis if I am having a few adult beverages. It is a different story if I am eating.

Nightmare scenario, Kerbey: The mariachi band with ‘American Pie’ as its go-to song. It would last three courses.

So true! By the time the three men he admired most had taken the last train to the coast, everyone would have lost their minds.
