"I'd be very happy. When it's cracked for you it makes quit a bit less of a mess." She further added, "Usually they do that in the finer dining restaurants."

Not too mention the poster adds:

Really? You haven't? Well you're talking about MAINE Lobster that the pound serves right? Well if you're dining on Lobster outside of New England I wouldn't put too much stock in how it is served so your point is moot!
I don't think this person is trolling. As I stated earlier, I have had lobster in many places, and served it while working in many places, and have never heard of lobster being served "cracked". Not sure I would have been "mortified", but I would have been surprised.
