Beware The NDS Restaurant!

by angelica

as you might know i am in the city for a few days. this morning a friend and i went for breakfast in brooklyn. and it was so bad that i need to mention it here.
first the hostess tried to seat the people behind us before she seated us. then it took a half hour for the food to come out of the kitchen - only to be served to the people on the neighboring table. after they realized that they didn't order it the waitress took it away, brought it back into the kitchen, turned around and served it to us. when my friend pointed out that it is actually illegal to take food from other people's tables and serve it again she said they will fix new food but it'll take a while...
i asked for a refill of coffee and instead of getting a refill she brought me a new mug. i stirred my milk in and it turned out that an old lable from a honey bottle was floating IN the coffee. i still think they did it on purpose. the manager did not apologize, she just said that they are "having a bad day". not as bad as tomorrow when i'll alert the health inspectors!
beware this one: "two boots" on 2nd street just off 7th avenue in park slope, brooklyn.

what is NDS?

NDS Syndrome or No Domestic Skills Disorder is a multifunctional disorder discovered in the late 80ties by two young scientists who published a paper which described a pattern of behaviors in several women who had normal if not above average intelligence and language development, but who also exhibited marked deficiencies in domestic skills. In spite of the publication of this paper, it wasn't until recently that NDS is getting more widespread attention by professionals.

Individuals with NDS can exhibit a variety of characteristics and the disorder can range from mild to severe. Persons with NDS show marked deficiencies in domestic skills, have difficulties with all kind of housework and prefer others to do the same. They often have obsessive dislikes of anything domestic and may just avoid related activities such as cooking, sewing, cleaning, etc. They have a great deal of difficulty to use kitchen utensils or sewing equipment and very often the individual with NDS has difficulty understanding written material pertaining to domestic work issues.

It's important to remember that the person with NSD perceives herself to be perfectly normal and healthy.

By definition, those with NDS often have above normal IQ and many individuals (although not all), exhibit exceptional skill or talent in several specific areas other than the domestic realm. While intellect and education seem, on the surface, normal or above normal, individuals with NDS often have a deficit in patience and subordination to any kind of authority.

At this time there is a great deal of debate as to exactly where NDS fits. It is presently described as a behavioral disorder but some professionals feel that NDS might have underlying genetic causes, located on the X-chromosome.

Further research is underway but if the X-chromosome genetic cause theory can be substantiated, the unrealistically high amount of reported male NDS cases will have to be treated at what they probably are: avoidance syndrome.
