What I Learned from a Sex-Crazed Short-Order Cook

Indeed. I felt a bit cheated by the end that the only appearance of this "sex-crazed" side was: "He sexually harassed waitresses using a long pair of tongs to increase his range. After drinks in the parking lot, he drove them around on his Ninja 1000."

Then I thought about it some more and decided to give the writer the benefit of the doubt - he stresses the sex-crazed aspect of the cook to paint a clearer image of the type of person, even though it doesn't really come up in the story. Starting the article with that fact planted in my head even before the first paragraph probably made a big difference to my reading of it.

Lack of a sex-crazed mentor aside, I'd like to go on record to say that this was the most enjoyable 5 minutes I have ever spent on linkedin.

I managed to escape the site without being asked to "connect" with every single person I've ever contacted via gmail. Hooray!

I thought "sex-crazed" was just assumed when dealing with people who've spent any length of time in the food industry. [1] So when he said "sex-crazed", I expected he was somehow a notable outlier from the norm. But the characterization was on the tame side.

[1] It's hardly unique in that; pretty much any high-stress industry with a young workforce is equally notorious for the same behavior. (entertainment jobs, military jobs, etc.)

Then when he used the dude's name... Well, I'll just say for that guy's sake I hope he changed it for the purposes of the story.

You are assuming that "tongs" is not a euphemism for something else. Hell, if you have a dirty enough mind you could substitute "Ninja 1000" for something else also.

If you follow my suggestion, then the cook will seem more than a little sex-crazed.
