Do not eat from the potty...

If your food is served in a potty (potti samburr) and for some reason you cannot bluntly admonish the server, not eating the food will be a sufficient reaction. But if you decide to eat out of avid appetite and despite the ugliness of the potty, then any contempt that follows will be permissible and thanks to your own conduct.

In other words, if you want to blow off a buddy for a cooler buddy to and to facilitate your acquisition of things or to gain some form of social acceptance, opportunities (right or wrong) will present themselves, but if the consequence of your chosen means is going to lead to a bad reputation, then the noblest thing to do is to exercise restraint.

Otherwise, you’ll not only end up dissatisfied, but will also tend to make a scapegoat of, or pass your resentment and fury onto targets that are not the actual cause, and that’s not cool.
