Have you ever read something where you just KNOW the writer talks with their hands, does the sound effects, and would bust out a little dance if it suited the story? That's Erica. She's a colorful storyteller whose sense of humor and fearless honesty make a big impact. Her rants might go for the emotional jugular, hit your funny bone, or shock you and your mama out of your fajas. Usually it's all three. Often chronicling her life in Florida, her stories are full of characters like "Bikini Rifle Lady", "Mariachi Neighbor," and "Barbara The NextDoor Evangelist." There's almost always a message in the madness, and that's what people connect with most. Also her deep and undying love for Tevin Campbell. You can find more of her work at www.EricaFazio.com

Imagine you're out to dinner at a restaurant with a few friends or family members. Everyone has gathered for your birthday.

Imagine you've already had your meal and it's time for last drinks, coffees, and dessert.

Imagine restaurant staff coming up to the table to sing "Happy Birthday" to you and your group.

Is anyone in your imaginary scenario a robot?

Probably not, but if you happen to celebrate your birthday at Chili's then there's a small chance you might find yourself getting serenaded by Rita.

As in Rita the Robot.

TikTok user @allllllllllywestttttttt - named Ally - found herself unexpectedly staring down a singing robot after her meal at one of the 50+ Chili's locations that have a Rita the Robot.

Ally and her group weren't aware of Rita before it came rolling up to their table to serenade the squad, which lead to some pretty interesting reactions among the group.

And TikTok users, who were honestly not that into Rita... though some tried to look on the bright side.

Especially when people noticed she rolled up to the table with no cake or other dessert for the birthday guest.

So we got awkward singing, a traumatic robot scare, a robot that sounds like Barbie ... and no dessert?

TikTok is not having it.

What about you?

How would you feel about having a robot sing Happy Birthday to you at a restaurant rather than having servers come to your table to sing?

Would the lack of cake make this better or worse for you?

Karoline Leavitt Gives Bonkers Excuse After Trump Is Spotted With Massive Bruise On His Left Hand

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was called out after she gave a dubious excuse for what happened to President Donald Trump after he was spotted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday with a large bruise on his left hand.

Last year, rumors swirled that Trump was on his deathbed after he wasn't seen for several days and the White House cancelled his public appearances, a development that fueled speculation in large part because of Trump's recent health problems, which include a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and sightings of a harsh bruise on his right hand.
