At Christmas several years ago, some friends and I went to Applebeeâs for dinner. They had lights strung up along the banisters and I sat closest to them. I kept noticing a stinging feeling in my arm and when I looked back, one of the bulbs was just bare wires and I kept bumping into it, giving me a shock. When we brought this to the serverâs attention, he shifted the wires a bit (they moved back) but didnât unplug or turn off the line. He also vanished soon after taking our orders and reappeared long enough to take our bills and steal the change. They also served another friend of ourâs a deep fried screw.
