We had no official policy, so left behinds were put behind the bar, and I doled them out when asked. Being King of L&F, I got a Zippo, and a really cool Jeep lighter that broke shortly after I brought it home. I never got umbrellas-they were put near the door (i'm against 'brellas).

I'm the graveyard-shift hostess at a small, local, 24-hour jersey diner... A few weeks ago, I had a very drunk man come in at 4 am, claiming he lost the button off the shirt he was wearing. Despite the fact that his shirt wasn't missing any buttons, I looked in our lost and found, found nothing and informed him. Well, he decided he wanted to look around for it and I indulged him in this until he started moving around all the tables and chairs in the dining room. I politely told him he couldn't do this and he threw such a hissy fit that even the cooks came running out of the kitchen. I ended up having to threaten to call the police if he didn't leave immediately. He finally left, but not before informing me he'd be back in case anyone found it. The exact same questions ran through my head... Who in the world would go to such lengths for a button?! Why in the world would anyone else care about your button?! It's a bleeping button, take your butt to Rag Shop and buy another one! LOL... thanks for the laugh.. You think leaving a note for a button is bad?

Your commentary and observation on the masses of humanity that pass through the restaurant are amusing and touching. I just started reading your blog and I really enjoy it.
