Welcome! I noticed that the other way stopped working, too, which is a bummer cause it was way faster (if you have a giant library like I do).

13 years of waiting tables here.. It seriously would’ve taken as much (or less) time to smile and to politely admit, “I’m sorry, I’m just having trouble understanding what you mean. Would you mind showing me on the menu?” than it takes to explain the situation to two separate managers. Though why neither manager…

It tripped me out when I first had my hair cut short; I went from no dudes checking me out to a lot of dudes checking me out.

Ditto this.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Sssssssssssssssss. Boooooooooooooo.

I'm not saying all Lambrusco sucks. However, our Lambrusco was awful.

...Only, he was dead serious.

I can never forget the guy who, obviously trying to impress his date, declared, “We’ll have your finest bottle of Lambrusco.”

I remember. To be honest, I didn’t know shit. I *thought* I did, but I realize now that I knew a hell of a lot less than I believed at the time. The big difference is that as you get older, the more it dawns on you just how complicated everything is.

My guess is that it's actually a guy, which would be enough of a change to throw people off the scent. 'She' was photographed with a gay friend, the press announced 'she' had a new boyfriend, and the friend's boyfriend got pissed. That part stuck out to me because I don't know why the boyfriend would be pissed, other…

It was a server nightmare come to life. Horrible, horrible.

There was one night at my last restaurant where we were expecting about 60 covers from a local school, but were told they'd come in staggered due to an event. No sweat, we thought, it'd be pretty much like a regular service.

Also, it's complete bullshit, given that a Long Island is like 75% liquor by definition. It's just magical when done right, somehow it tastes sort of like tea and not 4-5 shots of liquor.

This was such a good read — I hope you get to do more!

Take a closer look at the relationship in '50 Shades'. It's abusive, plain and simple. Full disclosure: I have not read the books, mainly because I have tried several times to start the first one and not been able to read past the second chapter because the writing was so awful. I am, however, involved in the kink and…

> ... which I enjoyed for it's sheer simple stupidity..

Way to be judge-y! It's actually quite nice. :)

I no longer serve, but I worked at a Berkeley restaurant for 3 years. I swear to god, I waited on pint glass guy. I remember getting a lecture over whether our pints were real pints and how other local restaurants have gotten caught serving 12 oz pints and blah blah. He's definitely an obnoxious person to wait on.

True story: I was at Folsom Street Fair a few years ago and this really gorgeous pinup type groped and fondled me. I'm a dork and was too tongue-tied to get her name, but it was a definite highlight of the day. Later, I thought, 'What the hell' and posted a Missed Connection. Her friend saw it and had the girl email…

Maybe he has a homeless fetish, maybe he uses that tactic because it makes him feel like they're dependent on him, but either way, he could actually have this kind of relationship if he delved into the kink scene. He basically wants a 24/7 D/s relationship and the terms are really good, actually, if viewed in this…
