I've learned that while there is a standard measure of doneness in our world... There is none in the home world. What someone thinks is rare at home... Might actually touching medium by our standards...
To remedy this I make my servers give the description of our standard of doneness at the table....

Server :"How would you like your steak cooked ma'am?"

Guest :"Medium rare please"

Server :"So you would like a warm red center?"

Guest :"Oh no... Medium rare... Pink center please"

Server :"Ah ..ok. Thank you"

Server puts in a medium steak.

This has eliminated 99% of re fires....
You still get the occasional fucktard... But hey cant win them all

2 year old. constantly. I also bought her a wooden cutting set and am convinced I can get her using a perfect pinch grip before she hits 3.

Or (hopefully only loudly and not) shouting "behind you" or "corner" at a grocery store.

Sometimes at the grocery store it works and you feel an immediate sense of connection.

You know you're a Chef when you complain about cooking customers food the way they like it.

😁, you can, all my kids do it. When they want to help in the kitchen the are usually dicing veggies. We have only had one bad (no stitches, but a bleeder) cut with three kids. Critical skill that most adults don't do.
