I love that face, like lasers could just shoot out of her eyes at any moment. I wonder how they would like to have annoying nicknames used back on them, "Have a great day Chief" or "Good to see you again little fella"

oh my yes.

I don't have anything terribly constructive to say other than I'm really sorry and can totally commiserate. Also, that the shitty and condescending way that people are treating you says everything about them and nothing about you.

My advice SHOULD be that if you politely correct people, they'll cut it out, but we're all friends here, so why mince words. I was a waitress/bartender for years, and found that the more attention you give to people's unwelcome behaviors, the worse it gets. The type who call you "sweetie"(other than nice grandpa…

I think you have put the other side of this argument perfectly here, especially about how difficult it is just to make new friends as an adult, let alone a significant other.

That sounds like a great douche filter

Even if you happened to be dating/banging/acquainted with many future great men and husbands in college, I just can't see how any pair of 22 year olds could forge a healthy marriage. I personally had the maturity of a drunk fetus when I graduated from college.

Right? I mean, I'm sure I was no prize in my teens/early twenties, but the idea of trying to manipulate one of those ridiculous man-babies into marrying me as a way of BETTERING my life?!?! The mind boggles.

the rubber that they are made out of is super porous, so it holds on to food particles even after a thorough cleaning.

My grandmother (who is otherwise a complete delight) used to tell me things like this, as she had successfully forged a Wellesley/Harvard marriage in her college days. She also gave me the book "The Unfair Sex" when I was about 16, which if you are unfamiliar/bored is worth a google.

I have been known to pose as a nice young lady running errands only to brutally attack courteous innocents. Just me?

ding ding ding!

I was so ready to defend these women, and then their comments gave me hives. "Why can't we just be girls?" Ummm....was your workplace threatening to take away your vagina? I guess that would make me want to stay home too.....

Perfect.

Definitely

Genuine question, not trying to be a jerk....why are bad tippers (habitual ones) so defensive about it? The pastor in this story is certainly furious about being outed for being an asshole because she is embarrassed, but whenever tipping comes up, people who don't like tipping seem to get more upset than those who…

I have been wondering the exact same thing. I'm sure she thought she was being cute by writing that, and I wouldn't be at all shocked to hear that she shared her clever little note with the rest of the people at the table and had a laugh about it. Why so mad when your brilliant little message goes viral?

You should absolutely call them. Whoever runs that kitchen needs to know that someone isn't paying attention, I mean badly prepared food is one thing, but messing with a shellfish allergy is a really big deal! I'm glad you're alright.

It is totally acceptable to send things back. Especially if its cold or prepared wrong. Just like with any other human interaction, it just matters how you do it. If you politely point out what is wrong there is no reason why your server shouldn't be polite right back. If you spit out a piece of chewed up steak into…

Ugh the headband....
