Taming A Rocking Table

[WmRMeyers]

I am often seated at a table in a restaurant that does not sit flat on the floor. It rocks back and forth as I try to eat. This is doubly distracting. Not only am I experiencing that damn rocking, I'm also thinking about a fix.

The solution must be very low cost and easily replaceable because I know, at the end of the meal, I'll just get up and leave. Then it will be back to my shop to make a new gap-filling device. It must also be small and light weight enough to carry at all times.

Well, I think I have it.

My mom started waitressing when I was 4 years old. At the time, she had never eaten in a restaurant. It was a little place called Danny's. They were expanding from serving donuts to a full meal service. Changed the name to Denny's not long after. I've grown up in restaurants. There is a very simple solution. You fold one or two of the paper napkins and put it under the high leg. Paper napkins are usually readily available in the restaurants, on your table. Or you can ask the waitstaff. Though it wouldn't be difficult to keep a couple in your pocket. They have many uses besides a rocking table wedge.

For folks that eat in higher class restaurants that use cloth napkins, you can always ask them to fix it. It's probably not good for cloth napkins to be used in that way.
