This reaffirms my belief that old white men do not fucking understand the concept of personal space.

I am with you. There are definitely people who give scents a bad name, like people who apply scented products in public, or douse themselves in cheap stuff, or combine it with their B.O., or get it on stuff that does not belong to them. However, my guess is that those people would find plenty of other ways to be…

i want to light myself on fire because of how fucking fantastic this whole thing was

I enjoy some of the OXO products, but I find they trade on the brand a little too much these days. I own a french press by them that has to be the least functional coffee brewing mechanism ever developed, despite the fancy silicone insert they developed.

I agree with you, I somehow managed to get through most of the first book - it's fucking awful writing and the sex is ridiculous and not a turn on at all. I don't understand the success of this book and it makes me sad that so many women think it's sexy (because it means they need better sex in their lives, or at…

I've seen some dudes do some really creepy shit, I mean creepier than the tennis ball thing, but because the dudes were deemed desirable, the girls always felt flattered. But some guys do…

Because the world revolves around him and his needs. He does not make adjustments for an ever-changing, not-all-white world.

Maybe it's cool if you sing it in Italian. "Vaffancuuuuuuulo!"

Totally okay if they can order, or if they order and you repeat. Sounds like you are in the clear. But none of the back and forth nonsense with the kid while the server is waiting for the order. Be ready.

Oh please bring them often and let them practice and learn. I am amazed every day at the customers who just have no idea how to behave in a restaurant.

We do this. And I've read elsewhere that most servers don't mind as long as your kid is speaking clearly and loudly enough for the server to hear them.

It's not a problem, I get it all the time in work. Sometimes it takes a little longer but that's ok. It's a great thing for kids to learn to do. The only time it gets annoying is when there are lots of kids and parents in one party and the parents are just straight up ignoring the kids and expecting us to translate…
