night, I can just put up with it’. I sat down at a table and only then did I realise that everyone else in the room was wearing pyjamas. I had just walked into a pyjama party, that I hadn’t been invited to. I was so embarrassed and embarrassed for the staff who must’ve been so embarrassed by me. But the staff handled the situation so well, they just said ‘it’s a private event’ and quietly ushered me out. I didn’t stay to watch the football, I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.
Tonight I learned a valuable lesson, always double check your reservations and always ask if there is a dress code.
Tonight I learned a valuable lesson the hard way. I had made a reservation at a restaurant in Porto, thinking I’d get there at 7pm and have enough time to eat before the football match started at 8pm. Little did I know, I was going to be walking into a pyjama party.
When I arrived at the restaurant, there was a large crowd outside, which was unexpected for that early in the evening. The staff then ushered everyone inside, but I didn’t realize until later what was happening. When I got down the stairs, the staff started leading people to a room in the back, and I was just following the crowd, assuming that this was how it was usually done.
When I got to the room, I saw that all of the tables were really close together, and everyone was wearing pyjamas. That’s when I realized I had walked into a pyjama party that I wasn’t invited to. I was so embarrassed, and embarrassed for the staff who had to deal with me. Thankfully, they handled the situation well and just said it was a private event and ushered me out.
Tonight I learned a valuable lesson: always double check your reservations and always ask if there is a dress code. It might have saved me a lot of embarrassment if I had done so.
