Would ths have confudsed you , Ds angry at me

[HowMuchShouldBePaid]

A few weeks ago, as a very special treat , I took DS(21) out for a meal for his 21st at a very smart restaurant.

There were lots of waiting staff and our water gasses were refilled ( with quite the flourish !) as soon as we had taken more than few sips.

We didn't order any drinks form the menu, TBH I could only cover the meal and not any "extras" .

A few days ago DS says

"If I had bought my own juice would they have kept refilling it ?"

I was confused by this, initially thinking " what ? bring squash so you could add it to the water" , but just generally a bit perplexed as to what he meant.

This was not a restaurant that sold " juice" ( whatever it was he actually meant by that)

I must have looked confused as DS was quite angry saying "WHAT don't you understand !"

He does have difficulty with making putting what he wants across and I try very hard to understand him, but he can be incredibly obtuse at times.

Would you have been confused by what he said ?

What he actually meant was , If he had ordered a drink from the menu would that drink have been refilled over and over , as was the case with the water.

I get his question, though it is odd for a 21 year old to ask, but I suppose if he doesn't eat out much it's a fair one. I knew what he meant when I read it without needing the clarification.

I'm getting the impression you misunderstand him a lot, hence his overreaction and anger to you misunderstanding him here. Or perhaps that he often struggles to express his meaning clearly and is often misunderstood by you or others, which can lead to a lot of frustration if he thinks he's being perfectly clear.

If he’d of asked me that question I would have said when it was nearly empty they would come over and offer another…. Then out it in the bill of course

No, he didn't.

I don’t understand any of this thread.

I think it's perfectly clear what he meant
