It was actually a 2 double-cheeseburger meal (the post is from 4+ years ago, btw) and at the time I posted that it was a very regional thing. Our region did not have it at all, no McDonald's I'd been to offered two double cheeseburgers, a beverage, and fries for a set price, and yet people would get PISSED that we…

Personally (though I don't know that this will make it too much better) I used to go through incredibly long books and force them to crease every 50 pages as I read them. That way the crease isn't HORRIBLE (the book flopping open to one spot, where the crease is, every time) and the spine is more readable, but it…

This is kind of how I eat a Subway sub, except that it also requires turning your head 90 degrees to take a bite. It's just not as effective of a cut as the "old cut". I'm certain the sole reason they changed to the "hinge cut" is efficiency, though. It's far more efficient to cut the bread once instead of three…

Frankly, if I could, I would very much like to go to one of these "deli" things that you speak of. The tiny town I live in, however, does not have such an option. We have McDonald's, Taco Bell, Subway, Arby's, Pizza Hut and a few other places that are even open for lunch within range for me to head to on my lunch…

Noting other comments about the "old cut" and how some people have mentioned that corporate has decided the "hinge cut" is better, the reality is that it's simply more efficient. When you have a lunch line out the door and you're trying to get people served it's far more efficient to cut the bread once instead of…

That phrase is an attempt to belittle someone else who is better off than you are. It's rude, and there's no reason for it. You do not know another person's history, age, etc. Perhaps they worked up from the shittiest job in the company and are just now finally doing well after years or even decades of hard work. …

When people say "must be nice" about being able to put aside $100 or more a week, they should remember that some people have worked very hard to make that kind of money. Personally, I cannot afford it, but I also know that it's my own fault because I have a car loan I can't truly afford (from a time when I could)…

I actually had a landlord who was awesome enough to bring us a ham every year around Christmas. I didn't have the heart to tell him I hated ham and always ended up giving it away, but it was an incredibly sweet gesture and something I really appreciated from him.

Your statement is incredibly confusing, as are the statements you made to other people who have replied to you. The people I'm referring to who the article suggests tipping are already being paid a wage by their employer. Why should I feel obligated in any way to give them EXTRA money if the only thing they do is…

This is basically how I feel. My mentality is that if the given person were to go above and beyond their JOB, which they already get PAID for, I could see tipping them. If they're just doing their job, however... why should I? The only real reason I tip at restaurants is because I know they factor the waitstaff's…

Aye, that sort of thing, in my mind, is where you deserve a little something extra. Sorry to hear about him passing away. People like that are great people, and deserve to have something given back to them for their kindness.

Yup, sure did. Still not entirely sure why it doesn't want to work.

Perhaps it's just me, but I've never understood the mentality here. I understand that it's a way of saying "thanks" for a year-long business relationship, but I don't see much point in giving the newspaper delivery person or mail person a monetary tip. They're already getting paid to do their job, and they don't…

I tried it on my MacBook with severely confusing results. It installed and ran fine, but after doing the post-install operations it wouldn't SHOW me the login screen. I plan to try it again from scratch in case I screwed something up. There's no reason it shouldn't run on a Mac when it's finalized, but for now I…

I'm significantly confused about what you're saying. I do actively argue with others if they say derogatory things or even scoff at two people who are in a same-sex relationship. I even know one person who is transsexual and who recently told me so and I very much empathize with how hard that must be for them. I…

That's a VERY good explanation and I agree that it's so wrong that people feel they need to act that way to be accepted. I do hope society changes and accepts a gay couple doing every one of those things, and I hope I see it in my lifetime.

So when I hold hands with my girlfriend and/or give her a kiss in public I'm not proclaiming to the world that I'm straight!? Man, I must be doing it wrong.

I believe that what he means about "coming out" being a continuing process is that once you are out, and you suddenly move or are surrounded by people who don't know you're gay, at some point you will have to inform them of that fact. It may be a simple conversational situation and it comes up naturally, but it is…

Personally, I think you're considering "coming out" to be something other than it is. It's simply informing people of a fact, a fact that they're not likely to automatically assume, and it's usually done with people you are close to. I'm not gay, but I do know others who are. "Coming out" means they talk about…

This is how I feel. I, for one, wouldn't appreciate having a gift opened and handled before it was given to me. I know it's not that big of a deal, but my girlfriend and I are the exact same way regarding this. If either one of us receives a package in the mail, god forbid the other open it because it's MINE AND I…
