“Children are frequently a nightmare for anyone having to work in a restaurant, because a significant number of parents appear to have no desire to actually corral their kids.” Ugh, those people make life harder for those of us actually trying to parent a kid in a restaurant. “Can I get up?” No, we don’t behave like…

Thank you for using the word 'please' at the beginning of your exhortation in the article's title. Your manners really are adequate!

“This is to say, it is bullshit from the start, because it poses Batman against a bullshit version of Superman; a Superman dangerous enough to make rooting for him to get beat up seem like it might be a reasonable choice. “

Yeah, that's how I am. I'm not into what he does, but when I hear how well he's done I think, "Good for him! Wow."

Like it how you like it. It doesn't actually effect anyone else's life. Your health won't be destroyed, the diners around you can eat their meat differently, and no one who works there is actually inconvenienced - it's your food; enjoy it.

You said people were divided. I said, as it turned out, not a lot are. That's all. Did not think you indicated that she was callous

It's not very divided. The same two people are commenting on all the threads, and garnering the same 15-20 stars. *shrug* The judge isn't thinking about us, but she's probably thinking of her friend tonight.

He’s actually lucky he didn’t get it in his eye or down his throat. Worse, the nerve damage is sometimes permanent, leaving pain long after the outbreak is gone. Members of my family are prone to it - and by prone to it, I mean they had multiple cases of it, starting when they were young. Every time some antivaxxer…

I just want to shut him in a room with Rush Limbaugh and let them suffer from the feedback loop.

On the one hand, you really don’t want a disease carrying poop bug settling on your pie. On the other hand, this is exactly why really dedicated pie makers keep either pie safes or pie covers - their pies have to sit out for ages, cooling in the open air. Pie makers are prepared. Tree Trunks is at fault for bad prep…

What strikes me about the stories this week is that I find myself sympathizing with the waiters, but half the diners who told their tales of awful fellow diners sound like pots telling on kettles.

The restaurant probably switched to disposable grinders for the same reason restaurants always switch to disposable grinders - too many customers steal the shakers. People will steal shakers, silverware, the candy bowl by the front door, the flower pot or candle holder in the middle of the table; in some restaurants…

So, top you, being rude to everyone around you is America. I'm glad this is a big country and I don't have to share the space with you. The freedom to avoid folks like you is my America.

Anybody who drinks that much carmel sauce totally gets it in the end, about eight hours later.

I have heard of people pulling crap like the lady who went back to the host booth - heck, I've seen it. I just always wonder how those folks think it will turn out? If you ask them, they seem to think that the principal is more important than the results, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out what that principal…

Actually, I sincerely hoped those labels were all wrong. I did not know why they wanted to tell me about their unpleasant medical condition.

Yeah, but does this rank with the Bad Santa? This is a minor annoyance. The waiters I know would be glad that he was at least routine and predictable, that they could put him at the counter, that they could have his order ready because he always ordered the same, and that nothing crazy would happen before he paid his…

Sure, it's bad. But is it screaming at movie employees for not watching your kids, threatening pizza ladies with pocket knives, calling the police on waiters because you lost your own jacket, stealing your father-in-law's money and then dining and dashing levels of bad? It's bad, but it's not "The Devil." (TM).

“I'm a good person!" has been shouted by so many bad people. When you hear that phrase or something similar, avoid the speaker at all costs.

Wasn't she freakin' amazing, though?
