I do not “clank like a crab”.... I skillfully tippy tap like a salsa dancer.

Finally, relatable content

I do a little shake with them that makes the clicks sound like horse hooves

I'm just making sure they're turned on still

I used to work as a cook in a diner, and I can tell you for a fact that this is a universal trait of tongs.

But how else would you know they work?

This is the way

The other day I found two tongs, so when it was quiet, I decided to do various activities with them as alternatives to hands. It’s really difficult to write on a cup when holding the cup in one pair of tongs and a sharpie in the other pair of tongs.

I clank like a crab and do mr crabs laugh lol

I never realized I did this until I saw one of my partners do it lol

You have to do Dad Tongs™ to make sure they work right

I sometimes clicky clack in tune to the store music

I clink them like im playing spoons

I can't ever grab them without making a Zoidberg impression

Lmao I literally twist my co workers' nips

I always said "BIG. MEATY. CLAWS."

I clank them together and say "crab people crab people. "

This post is too relevant right now the tongs for the tea at my job broke today or something because on the test click it didn’t work but I first hand got to see somebody’s reaction when they get clicked and it didn’t work and it was priceless

I always look a partner in the eye and say “it’s crab time”

You HAVE to clack them a few times every time!!!!

Time for crab

Yup that’s me eve dry time “ channeling my inner mr. crabs”

Needs more jpeg

Accident

We got new tea tongs.
It's time for crab.

2 or 3 test clicks is standard but I always go for 13

Every. single. shift.

I like pretending I'm going to grab someone's nose

Yes I do click click lol

I "wag" them in the air and the clang like the hands from chuck e cheese

I’d done this just today, and laughed to myself thinking of the meme I’d seen a few years back

I compulsively must click the “Shave and a haircut, two bits” rhythm at least once whenever I’m on warming.

(Do you younger generations know what that rhythm is? 🤔)
