This is why I have a default choice at restaurants now. A
  default choice means: If there is a gun to your head and you
  have 5 seconds to order something, you have something you KNOW
  you won't mind eating. It's not that hard once you figure it out
  what works for you. So then, if you have no time to think, you
  have an answer. If you DO have time to think, you can ponder the
  perfect order, which is usually what I would do if I didn't now
  have a default choice.   I spent.. YEARS - stressing out at
  restaurants. One day, my mother was like, "What's your default
  choice?"

  I'm like, "What the heck is a default choice?"

  She told me. And I was like, DUH ALL THESE YEARS, you couldn't
  tell me that.

  her reply? I thought you were just being stubborn and all
  creative. ugh.
