Default Buffet Rage

Are you guilty of this crime against fellow diners?

Recently, I was at a fairly upscale dining establishment where a light appetizer buffet was part of the dinner experience. I noted a definite pattern in behavior every time the fresh load of shrimp was brought to the buffet. Otherwise collected and courteous individuals launched into a mad frenzy to grab the fresh shrimp, bolting through the dining room, disheveling chairs, rushing past the elderly, and essentially shoving young diners out of their ways. Now, I'm not talking about one or two people, I am talking about 25-30 in every wave of the free-for-all. It was astonishing.

As a fellow diner, I felt it was my obligation to ram a few of them with my scooter. I got my shrimp.
