I really truly do not tip based on service except to increase the amount of money they are getting from me so you can bet your ass those people are getting 25%. As much as I want the system of exploitative capitalism to break in a Michael Bay-esque explosion of gears and exploding pistons, I will be goddamned if I…

I do it based on the way they work at the restaurant. If it’s a place with no table service in general and a drive thru, no I don’t tip unless the hormones catch me and I’m paying in cash anyway (uncommon). Keep in mind, I only go to like 7-8 places because I got diseases so I’m a regular at all of them.

I imagine that was probably the dim motivation somewhere in there, but it didn’t stick. She lacked authority in the household because of her tendency toward codependence. BOOM PSYCHOANALYZED

My parents are/were bizarre, crazy people. I grew up watching R-rated B movie trash rented by my father as a small child when I wasn’t watching PBS documentaries and science shows, so it was bizarre when my mom tried to ban us from watching The Simpsons because of Bart being “a brat”. Mom. I watch murders. I read It…

I appreciate you saying so but I am a natural 10th man, I don’t fit in this Christian country.

No one else has ever had daughters!

I understand using this as justification not to bring out extra glasses, but...you still gotta wash the Coke glasses, pal.

I can’t see any professionalism in this. If she’d done any research, she’d know they were already well known and already don’t entertain vegans, so if there were any correct approach where she asked for a free stay for ~*~exposure~*~ the way she came at it was wrong. They run a successful business and I’m sure they…

BUT WHAT ABOUT AUNT BEAST

Yes, that’s how I imagined them too. On the outside they were terrible, even if it was terrible beauty, and one of them even stopped bothering with corporeality at times. It was their nature, not their appearance that was important.

I had that one! I loved it so much as a kid and still love it.

Exactly this. This is how the poor are dehumanized in America. These are human ways to respond to stresses—when middle class and wealthy Americans are “forgiven” for these “mistakes” (I have to use scare quotes here because nothing about this behavior is wrong other than it being illogical from a wealth-generating…

That is really, really not true. There are several reasons to get DQd for clearance, the most common being character or financial, and affairs aren’t considered either by default. If you mitigate the ways an affair makes you an extortion or blackmail risk, the affair is not an issue. If you’re Dolt 45 and create…

This is one of those times being oblivious to social signaling is an asset. I’ll just ask why someone didn’t stay home and contain their illness instead of coming in to work at diminished capacity, infecting others, and making the problem worse when the other infected now have to stay home in a day or two.

Jesus, I’m sorry you’re in that situation. I hope you can find a new job and if you can’t (or for the time being) just remember that work is just to get the bills paid. You don’t live to work.

It’ll come back up, this has never happened before.

It really, really depends. My experience with AA and overseas partner airlines is that if it’s a connection, it’s checked through and ends up at baggage claim. For a destination flight, it’s at the jet bridge.

Really living up to your screenname. I like that.

Nah, but they’ll sure fuckin’ marry one. Thank God my husband appreciates my cynical sense of humor or I’d be screwed (not in the fun way). 

My knee-jerk reaction is “good ass white russian”
