Has anyone else noticed a propensity for their favorite restaurant to have an "off" sort of day whenever you try to take someone to it? It seems the more you build it up the worse everything ends up. I'm not a very superstitious person but I can't help but hold myself off from talking -too- highly of a place I am about to eat at.

Which also reminds me of cats, which will do the opposite of whatever it is you want them to do, even if you want them to do something they always do.
