Burger discrimination

Gwen comes home excited after an evening on the town with her peers.

Gwen: You'll never guess where we went! We were really hungry and wanted to get a burger, and every place was full or closed, except for one. Go on, guess.

Parents try to guess, wrong.

Gwen: Hooters! Every restaurant except Hooters was full, so we went there. But the waitress gave us horrible service. I didn't even tip. All the girls agreed. Only the boy we had along thought it was still worth tipping.

George: I'm shocked, shocked, that only the boy appreciated the service at Hooters, and the girls didn't.

Gwen: No, it's not like that! The service was really terrible, it took almost an hour and our food was cold when we got it.

Parents: Were there other customers in the restaurant?

Gwen: Yes, it was about half full.

George: Were the other customers also mostly female college students?

Gwen: No, they were mostly adult men.

George: I'm, shocked, shocked that the Hooters waitress paid more attention to the tables with adult men than to the table with mostly college age women.

Gwen: No, it's not like that!

Parking

George comes out to try to drive our car, and is surprised to find that he can't. After a few attempts, and some deductive work, he comes back to talk to Gwen.

George: Gwen, did you drive the car a short while ago?

Gwen: Yes...?

George: Did you park it rather close to the driver's side wall of the driveway?

Gwen: Oops!

George: How did you even get out?

Gwen: Through the passenger side! Is that a problem?

George: No, it's OK, I'll do that...

Parents are inadequate at shopping

 Gwen is home from college and helping unpack groceries.

Gwen: You didn't buy any actual food. You just bought fruit and meat and vegetables!
