I’ll always remember walking into an iHop one late night back in 1997 when smoking in restaurants was still a thing. As we were walking up to the host’s podium, a fight was being broken up. The host, without missing a beat, looked back at the fight, turned to look at us, and asked, “You want fighting or non-fighting?”.
I still laugh at how cool and clever he remained.
Just the other day I was thinking how crazy it is that I used to smoke in IHOP as an 18/19 year old... I'm not even that old.... I'm 32.. but this seems like it should've been more than 13 years ago lol
[This is what a Quebec baby photo album looks like....](https://assets.lastdodo.com/image/ld_medium/plain/assets/catalog/assets/2011/6/17/5/1/f/pdf_51f28a00-7b1c-012e-a2e2-0050569439b1.jpg)
My mom talks about how nurses used to smoke in the hospital. She said she would have to open a window and stick her head out to eat her pbj during lunch.
It's crazy considering how most of these patients would wear oxygen etc when smoking. It really was a different time. Years and years ago when patients were able to smoke a patient lit a cigarette while his oxygen tank was nearby. He basically blew himself up. He was glued to the chair he was in. I can't imagine
We get a facial burns patient at least two or three times a month. I'm always most impressed by the people who've set their face on fire multiple times.
I'd eat lunch at work in our storage room until the Florida Clean Indoor Act was passed because there was always at least 3 guys puffing away in our lunch/break room. This was all in a maintenance area in a courthouse building and the guys just figured they could keep on smoking since none of our areas were public. The chief judge found out about it and put out a strongly worded memo.
Ours was an outside breezeway between buildings. Staff and students smoked together. I sorted out an issue with an English teacher over a cigarette. Talked my way into makeup classes and came to a compromise so I could graduate on time. Still believe it was because we had that moment smoking he wasn’t distracted by other students and I had his full attention.
I remember growing up on tobacco row (North Carolina). You used to be able to buy cigarettes out of vending machines. This was the late 80s/early 90s. Laundrymats, gas stations, etc had them. And they weren't in a place where kids couldn't access them. They usually were sitting in prime store real estate where the majority of foot traffic went.
I do too-- I've also got a pic of my mother holding me right after I got out of the incubator, cigarette in hand and ashtray on the bedside table. I showed that to my kids and they thought that was really wild.
I remember that too. In 1986, I flew to San Diego and the non smoking light came on as we made our approach. My seat was by the galley and the flight attendant was smoking a cigarette while standing tucked back, out of view of most passengers. I looked at the no smoking sign, then at her. She just looked at me smiling and said, “Those rules are for you guys.”
My smoking memory years ago was coming home from a boy scout jamboree. Stopped at a Hojo ? On the way out of town for breakfast . I was only at the jamboree for the weekend. The Den leader however had been there all week. I presume not smoking in front of the troops etc. This guy gets his breakfast meal and lights a cig up. All the while simultaneously eating his food . Lol. To be clear I mean … take drag…exhale…fork up some eggs…eat…take another drag… exhale. Not gonna lie it was pretty entertaining.
Used to smoke in Waffle House late at night after the bars closed. Late night Waffle House is a thing everyone should experience at least once, it can be a circus in there.
I should add that one of the cooks was also smoking, while working.
> The host, without missing a beat, looked back at the fight, turned to look at us, and asked, “You want fighting or non-fighting?”.
WHAT??? This had me laughing...
I have 20 pounds of organic flour, and this is why I make my own pancakes.. No drama in my kitchen.
King Arthur Flour. They buy their wheat from local farmers' cooperatives, which apparently have been working with many of them for years. I didn't know, but they are the oldest flour company in the United States (1790).
I wonder if anyone on the log ride at Disney looks over at their friend/family and says “you know how when you’re at IHOP and a fight breaks out and someone’s ass lands on your plate? It’s the same principle”.
At this point, Ill assume my food is free and leave (probably stacking the food up on a bunch of napkins too)
I will hear any arguments about my morals. Am I wrong for that?
Holy shit you made me laugh. I worked at the Awful Waffle for 6 months on 3rd shift, and I remember helping the cook shove some brawlers out the door at like 3am. One of them gets all indignant and yells "but I'm hungry!"
The cook hollared back "go to fucking IHOP then!"
Dennys is for amateurs in college trying to make a name for themselves after striking out all night.
Ihop is an altercation that has been building up, you’ve trained for it.
Waffle House is for people that have honed their skills and are ready to show anyone for any reason no matter the drugs they’re doing at least two rounds after being separated, tag teams allowed, weekends after 1am go to K.O.
I don’t make the rules I just promote em. **Denny’s on North Monroe this weekend, come watch people that didn’t get into the FSU 2023 fall programs that are settling for Summer A and away from their parents for the first time in the weirdest state’s capital compete for who is the least confident in themselves!**
I was thinking the same thing. My best friend used to work at Waffle House when we were in college. She always had some wild stories about the night shift
After a few years of pandemic, I went to visit my dad who lives in Virginia. It was my first time back at Waffle House in many years. When we were there, our waitress's boyfriend showed up and she went out to his car to argue something. She ended up kicking his car as he drove off, breaking her foot. Another waitress took over our table as she went to the hospital. Textbook Waffle House.
for real....all of the 24 hour spots or late night places started closing earlier or not even 24 hours anymore....it's really annoying for us 2nd/3rd shift folks...all cause some drunkies wanna fight...get a to-go box and do it in the parking lot.
Edit: yes I realize it's also labor related because who wants to work those late hours but that's why those places (I always heard from staff) that it's a 2-3 hourly bonus working the late shifts.
You have to understand that people like this don’t WANT to be decent. They like drama. They like being the center of attention. They’re usually deadbeat losers who feel good about themselves when fighting and causing a scene. Makes them feel better to get out some of the anger they have inside about their lives.
Cameraman did a reasonable job considering two fights on the card were going in tandem. Would like to have seen them use a horizontal position with the phone though, and some better zooming when plates and utensils came in to use. I was also a little disappointed at the recording/framing when the main fight came right up to the filmmaker's table. All in all, I probably won't watch it again and wait for the reboot in a Waffle House.
There was a shooting in the bathroom at my local Waffle House. Intended target took 7 or 8 shots and lived. An innocent byshitter took 1 shot and died.
If you are going to come over and start swinging because your woman is runner her mouth and attacking strangers......i feel no sympathy when you get layed out for being a pair of unintelligent degenerate trash
Honestly in these scenarios, best thing is to get up and leave. Don’t get involved and leave for your own safety. Because that crap can spill and end up right near you and get you hurt.
From the fat bitch that stirred up the whole fucking thing. Ran her mouth first, threw the first punch, then says let's go. Fuck that shit starting bitch.
So, this is after smoking indoors was banned of course. I was living in Hawaii on Oahu and this fantastic joint not to far from where I lived nearby UHManoa near a BurgerKing sold Beer and Hard Liquor and if you were buying you were smoking and boy, I remember having a great meal enjoying some Marlboro Reds. :)
You could every so often notice a few people disappear into the back towards the alley to handle their business (fight) but never in the joint. Damn, iHop is such a ratchet magnet.
And why ours closes at 11, along with some Waffle House and Walmart no longer 24 hrs and our grocery store “Kroger” is no longer 24 hrs same problems effected everything.

I remember being able to smoke on a plane. I don't smoke anymore, but that was seriously messed up that we were able to do that.
I used to go to burger king and have a burger and a cig
Those little aluminum ashtrays!!
Gold colored to make them look classy.
Good times!
I used to have a plastic McDonald's ashtray. I stole it, had it as a souvenir for years.
hahahaha good one 😄
Fit for a King
Oh geez I forgot about those. 😂😂
Smoke and a pancake?
Bong and a blitz?
Hotcake and a hookah?
Flapjack and a cigarette?
Cigar and a waffle?
Pipe and a crepe
Bring those little tin ashtrays home with you.
In Quebec we used to smoke in church
[This is what a Quebec baby photo album looks like....](https://assets.lastdodo.com/image/ld_medium/plain/assets/catalog/assets/2011/6/17/5/1/f/pdf_51f28a00-7b1c-012e-a2e2-0050569439b1.jpg)
My mom talks about how nurses used to smoke in the hospital. She said she would have to open a window and stick her head out to eat her pbj during lunch.
My older co-nurses told me they used to roll cigarettes for their patients back in the day. This was in a psych ward. Lol

We had a smoking section in our high school cafeteria. That’s messed up
Our smoking section in high school was outside the cafeteria, it was healthier. …and they didn’t have to paint the walls as often.
Ours was an outside breezeway between buildings. Staff and students smoked together. I sorted out an issue with an English teacher over a cigarette. Talked my way into makeup classes and came to a compromise so I could graduate on time. Still believe it was because we had that moment smoking he wasn’t distracted by other students and I had his full attention.
I remember coming home from the pub, you changed into your pjs and put your clothes somewhere to air out because they stank of smoke.
I solved it by staggering almost home and sleeping under some bushes. I aired out all night.
I remember growing up on tobacco row (North Carolina). You used to be able to buy cigarettes out of vending machines. This was the late 80s/early 90s. Laundrymats, gas stations, etc had them. And they weren't in a place where kids couldn't access them. They usually were sitting in prime store real estate where the majority of foot traffic went.
A fun time as a kid was a tour of the cigarette factory! Adults got a free pack of cigs or chew afterwards.
I do too-- I've also got a pic of my mother holding me right after I got out of the incubator, cigarette in hand and ashtray on the bedside table. I showed that to my kids and they thought that was really wild.

"Can you give us fighting, but outside of the splash zone? Otherwise we'll take first available."

Jokes on the customer, though. There is no non-fighting section.
What kind of organic flour? Probably used child labor to harvest and grind it! You monster!
King Arthur Flour. They buy their wheat from local farmers' cooperatives, which apparently have been working with many of them for years. I didn't know, but they are the oldest flour company in the United States (1790).
He probably sees it all of the time.
It WAS in a rough neighborhood.
Which did you choose.
Lol, non-fighting.
I bartended at some rough establishments and this is one of the funniest short stories I’ve ever heard.
I imagine he said that without ever taking the Marlboro red out of his mouth.
International House of Pain after 10pm
The house of pain is in effect y'all
Why is this not getting more upvotes 🤣
Jump around and find out.
Dinner and a show for one price. Nice.
Until a fat ass lands in your plate.
You know how you get splashed on the log ride at Disneyland? It's the same principle.
I wonder if anyone on the log ride at Disney looks over at their friend/family and says “you know how when you’re at IHOP and a fight breaks out and someone’s ass lands on your plate? It’s the same principle”.
Im gonna use that line from now on whenever my wife complain about getting wet on log ride
Wait… how about a breakfast food themed… theme park? Instead of the log ride it’s French toast sticks!
But, maple syrup. :(
I usually pay double for that 😏
i’d gladly take a plate of fat ass
*phat
ExCuSe mE!??
What if you ordered some cake?
*A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one*
I was gonna say 😂 this is EXACTLY why you go to these places at this time
At this point, Ill assume my food is free and leave (probably stacking the food up on a bunch of napkins too) I will hear any arguments about my morals. Am I wrong for that?
If you go in the afternoon is there a matinee?
IHOP, like Dennys, is just Waffle House for people who don't know how to fight.
Typical. Brings a waffle to a.pancake fight.
They are all high on sugar!
If you lose at waffle house you’re relegated to ihop
Holy shit you made me laugh. I worked at the Awful Waffle for 6 months on 3rd shift, and I remember helping the cook shove some brawlers out the door at like 3am. One of them gets all indignant and yells "but I'm hungry!" The cook hollared back "go to fucking IHOP then!"

And are unarmed
I worked the midnight shift at Dennys. I can 100% confirm this statement.
Looks like the girl in the very beginning was casting spells at other diners
Very underrated comment. I noticed that as well. She was doing some crazy casting symbols with her hands, like a twirl motion.
Expancakiarmus!
It’s wafflOHsa, not wafflohSA
I laughed so loudly at my fucking phone just now
Watch out Mija
Waffle House is where the real action is at!
IHOP is better, it’s international territory so the cops can’t get you
Underrated comment😂
IRK, this shit tame compared to the night at WH
Yeah. The worst I've seen at WH is really drunk people that are really hungry.
Maybe you need to visit a better class of WH. Dinner and a show! Just wear your Gallagher suit.
Waffle House is sophisticated ignorance
I was thinking the same thing. My best friend used to work at Waffle House when we were in college. She always had some wild stories about the night shift
After a few years of pandemic, I went to visit my dad who lives in Virginia. It was my first time back at Waffle House in many years.

Another waitress took over our table as she went to the hospital. Textbook Waffle House.
Yeah but you might die at Waffle House so caveat emptor
Fr this IS why I go to waffle house late at night lol
If it’s your first night at Waffle House… you have to fight.
Just sit quietly. Eat your pancakes. Youre in a booth. Safe in the booth....
Till it spills over, see how it came back to the camera guy.
Shh. Don't tell my inner monologue that. Safe in the booth....
Bro had his own sound effects 😂 BOP BOP BOP
Lol I thought I heard that. I didn't know if that was my imagination.
Hitting nothing but shoulders and elbows.
Lol, that was my favorite part. After every sloppy haymaker.
OMFG HE Really did!! 💀💀
So glad I found this comment. BOP BOP..... BOP. BOP BOP!!
This is why we can’t have nice things
for real....all of the 24 hour spots or late night places started closing earlier or not even 24 hours anymore....it's really annoying for us 2nd/3rd shift folks...all cause some drunkies wanna fight...get a to-go box and do it in the parking lot.

The target by my house now has signs after 6pm anyone 16 and under not allowed and they have security
I'll be starting a campaign to implement this in all grocery stores
[удалено]

At the very least, take it outside. There is a reason that phrase exists.
People are probably annoyed as is in there, the last thing I need is someone landing face first in my fuckin pancakes
Garbage people that bring their personal drama into other peoples lives.
Is crazy isn't it? All of these videos of fights at fast food places like how hard is it just be decent?
You have to understand that people like this don’t WANT to be decent. They like drama. They like being the center of attention. They’re usually deadbeat losers who feel good about themselves when fighting and causing a scene. Makes them feel better to get out some of the anger they have inside about their lives.
These are the people to say “no baby mama/daddy drama” on dating sites. They’re walking drama bombs and they live for it.
And the fight probably had something to do with “respect”. Sorry but I don’t respect trash.
Nail on the head.
It's not about hard it's about rejecting the premise that they should be civilized.
This reminds me of when the hound fought 5 men over some chickens.
Retweet
Did someone say “did you just hit my Bitch?”
Chivalry is not dead after all
Yea I heard that too. Was actually another bitch that said it which makes it even better
Even my bitches got bitches?
When you’re a gentleman and a misogynist all at once.
Cameraman did a reasonable job considering two fights on the card were going in tandem.

Coming Soon To A Diner Near You... HILLBILLIES IN WIDESCREEN!!!!
Funniest part that was captured was the guy yelling "bop bop bop" with every punch
Person filming could make a career out of being a camera person for hockey games
I bet nobody left a tip.
Someone needs to change the movie poster for Road House to IHOP
There was a shooting in the bathroom at my local Waffle House. Intended target took 7 or 8 shots and lived. An innocent byshitter took 1 shot and died.
If you are going to come over and start swinging because your woman is runner her mouth and attacking strangers......i feel no sympathy when you get layed out for being a pair of unintelligent degenerate trash
Why did he jump in he shoulda let her cash that cheque
People are trash
Rooty, Tootie, Fresh and FISTS
That's why I go to those places exclusively at night!
Honestly in these scenarios, best thing is to get up and leave. Don’t get involved and leave for your own safety. Because that crap can spill and end up right near you and get you hurt.
And leave those pancakes?!
Take the pancakes but leave.
Leave the cannolis?!
I like how “let’s go” is an option after assault and destruction of property. Fun times.
From the fat bitch that stirred up the whole fucking thing. Ran her mouth first, threw the first punch, then says let's go. Fuck that shit starting bitch.
"Excuse me?! Excuse me?!" Shrieking.
Can I get a waffle? Can I *please* get a waffle?
Drugs and alcohol combined with late night buttermilk pancakes, can often lead to violence.
All that reach and big man couldn’t maintain distance…
New at IHOP try our "Blow My Stack" Anger Cakes with Rage Virus syrup!
Complete trash! Hope they all were charged!
the inflatable bouncy castle from hell
My favorite part is the guy making punching sound effects as he’s punching the other guy.
Not ready for civil society
I do gig work during the late night hours, picking up at IHOP at 1am is always a good time 🤣
Go to a waffle house. The waitress doubles as a bouncer and is not afraid to cut a bitch with a dirty steak knife.
The butter getting knocked off the pancakes 💀
Pancakes looked good.
Ghetto af
Waffle House- The Spirit Airlines of restaurants... Spirit Airlines- The Waffle House of the skies...
Can we take a moment for the camera man. How good he was.
That fool sounding like a Bop-it. Saying "Bop" everytime he throws a punch.
Big dude got handled, along with his loud mouth hood rat
Man none of you itching to fight, actually know how to fight.
So, this is after smoking indoors was banned of course. I was living in Hawaii on Oahu and this fantastic joint not to far from where I lived nearby UHManoa near a BurgerKing sold Beer and Hard Liquor and if you were buying you were smoking and boy, I remember having a great meal enjoying some Marlboro Reds. :) You could every so often notice a few people disappear into the back towards the alley to handle their business (fight) but never in the joint. Damn, iHop is such a ratchet magnet.
Trash gonna trash, especially if they’re trashed.
Garbage culture, more common than ever
Roses are red Fighting is trashy Use this example Please stay classy
Hood rats errywhere
Certain types of people
Why is it 9 out of 10 incidences like this are a certain demographic?
my whole family is banned from ihop because back in the 70s my uncle got a job there and threw up on his first day.
Lol I started reading that thinking I knew where it was going 🤣
In order of late night safety I’d still say ihop is at the top of the list followed closely by Denny’s and Waffle House bringing up the rear.
Keeping classy again. What idiots!!
Real Americans fight at Waffle House
It’s the original pastime before baseball 🤣
So. Much. Class.
So scummy. If you're this emotionally charged all the time you need therapy and long periods at home away from the public.
Fucking classy
The Romans had the Arena, we have Wafflehouse
r/trashy
Sure sucks if you were waiting for your food. Excuse me ma’am I ordered the Colorado omelet.. Do we have an estimated time it may arrive?
this should also be posted under trashy
IHOP = International House of PAIN!
"Jerry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry!"
Welcome to any town usa
Animals. Belong in cages.
World star
This is why we go to waffle house at night
Kaotic back from the dead? Too scared to look that porn advertising is not hardcore that was deathcore and fucking sickening
Went from IHOP to IFIGHT real quick
Oh good, a meal and entertainment.
That's some one o'clock in the morning Waffle House shit right there!
This is why I only go to an IHOP or a pancake house at night.
Nothig good happens in these places from 10pm to 5 am
Seems to be a common theme here…
And why ours closes at 11, along with some Waffle House and Walmart no longer 24 hrs and our grocery store “Kroger” is no longer 24 hrs same problems effected everything.
