DING DING DING! I'm also a vegetarian (and a server) and that's how you handle it. Ask questions, tell your server about your dietary restrictions.

I love how everyone is jumping down your throat for suggesting they tip reasonably. Twenty percent of a $20 tab is $4, you can't leave an extra dollar for good service?

The problem with the 15% "standard" is that 1. non-tipped wages have risen over the last 20 years. In many states, including mine, tipped minimum has

Sorry for the rant, I hadn't had coffee yet and the typo just completely threw me.

Dear Jezebel,
I live mere blocks from the LDS Conference Center where General Conference is held. If you pay me, I will pull out my very nicest knee-length skirt, hide my tattoo and stroll me and my best Relief Society impression down to Temple Square. I can do this in earnest and give you hard hitting reportage

You seem to have your facts a little off. While I agree that Utah "fell backwards" into marriage equality, it was through the courts, not the legislature. Judge Robert Shelby, a federal district judge and Obama appointee, determined that Utah's Amendment 3 defining heterosexual marriage as the One True Marriage

How many people do you think are peeing while standing in this photo?

I sort of had this glamorized idea that SWAT teams were only reserved to deal with hostage situations and French drug lords and something about Collin Farrell, but I now realize that the government definitely has a "Deal With Drunks Deafened by Awful EDM Remixes of Already Terrible Songs" budget for crises like this.

I've read American Psycho twice but could not finish reading those lyrics.

Tell me about it. I just showered and I'm seriously considering going back.

Ugh, tell me about it. I work at a vegan restaurant and we have about one or two tables walk out each week because they figure out that there's no meat on the menu. All of our advertising, online presence and menus clearly state that it's a vegan restaurant. But I still get people acting huffy and leaving quickly

That's great. I like Wendy Davis. I wasn't saying that you're not involved in politics. Read that last paragraph- I'm saying that children aren't involved in politics. Because they're not. I'm not advocating for the enfranchisement of children, either, just pointing out that their needs aren't usually accounted for in

Someone said elsewhere that T. Swiz got it wrong on her Twinstaflickr or whatever and that Callie's repeating the mistake for lulz. I sort of don't even care anymore.

IT IS. I have been furtively scrolling through the comments, looking for someone else that was annoyed by this.

While I totally understand your anger at seeing a child abused like this, what you're suggesting is eugenics. And also, not super helpful since we don't really know anything about the intelligence of these people- just their complete lack of moral character.

What we need is a better culture at large- one that doesn't

That is pretty funny. Is she a French teacher? The French have a sort of pranky April 1 tradition surrounding fish.

Right? Stuff like this could play out thoughtfully and carefully, be narratively satisfying and carry emotional weight. But you can't breeze past it all in one episode- it's too jarring.

Thanks! And I hear you. I already have a degree and have for several years now. I just didn't feel like withering away in a cubicle while figuring shit out. Instead, I freelanced and got into two of the top graduate programs in my field. I'm also active, I have people skills, I learned how to cook from a bevy of

That GIF was my reaction when a table tried explaining to me that tomatillos are green. Tomatillos are green, this hot sauce is green, this hot sauce MUST CONTAIN TOMATILLOS, you stupid waitress.

I bit my tongue and thought about how I just got into Columbia.

Let me guess- because you didn't hear about any rapes at your college and/or you didn't know any rape victims while you were at college, rape is not an issue at college. Did I get that right?

"You thought you were a person? Hilarious! APRIL FOOL'S."
