People still do that though as regardless of whether you give them numbers or the buzzers, they believe that "maybe if I stand right in front of the counter and in front of all of the customers here before I was, I'll get what I asked for before them because science!"

I wonder how many customers, who were waiting for tables , walked out pissed after seeing Mrs. McWhinyface get bumped in front of them for being a cow or who were just put off by her foul language and didn't want their dining experience further ruined.

Where’s Heathrow on the list? I would have thought Heathrow would have taken the cake over Frankfurt and CDG (at least Frankfurt has Dr. Mueller’s, which would be a fun way to spend several hours of layovers!).

But wait a minute America... are you saying that we don’t live in a Meritocracy and that sometimes people who are the best aren’t promoted based on factors not related to performance such as gender, race or the fact they aren’t a senior VP’s cousin?

Uh oh, looks like someones got a case of the Mondays!

The two weeks is respectful, but I've noticed among several colleagues that if you're going to a competitor that the company will waive the waiting period, whether you want it or not, as the last thing they want is you hanging around for two weeks picking up company information.

I know Natalie Merchant, Ms. Fiorina, and you ma'am are no Natalie Merchant.

Perhaps most unrealistically, its male protagonist is a 27-year-old man living in Seattle who wears ironed shirts, cleans his room, and has his shit together.

The other good one is "I work in the Media" or "Someone I'm related to works in the media" because the media is a singular giant all powerful deity. I had some customer pull some ego on me and told me his wife worked in the Media and we'd be getting some bad PR. I Googled her media business - turns out her media…

Chains are unfortunately layered in bureaucracy and want to avoid conflict, controversy or bad press and people like this are fast to go on the 6:00 News. If it means placating a few asshat customers at the expense of their dignity, its worth it to them to keep the shareholders and public happy.

I know what you mean brah.

I would have thought for an online delivery, you'd have to put in a credit card in order for it to go through to stop stuff like this from happening.

A few minutes before the tweets started, I had gotten an email from Domino's, letting me know that my pizza order was ready, payable with cash upon delivery. I'd shrugged it off as a glitch in their ordering system. I hadn't ordered a pizza, and the address listed on the order was an apartment I hadn't lived in for a…

I always thought Entourage was the Sex and the City for men.

Disagree with you on One but Two was a mess. Columbia Pictures had to beg the cast to come back (especially Bill Murray, who feels like he can't wait to wrap and go home in every scene) and the whole positive/negative slime thing was silly and made it lose a lot of the edginess of the first film with the intent of…

Also who's better qualified to give sound medical advice about saving your life? The doctor who has had around eight years of higher education or some narcissistic personal trainer looking to snag an anecdote for their inevitable book deal?

Having lived in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and presently Toronto, I have yet to find another store like Capital Iron. That is truly a Victoria landmark!

The guy that called and argued with me for five minutes that we were, in fact, a doctor's office and not a pizzeria.

According to this website, "Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard honored the great religious leaders of the past for the wisdom they brought to the world, writing that Scientology shares 'the goals set for Man by Christ, which are wisdom, good health and immortality.' It is in this spirit that Scientologists celebrate…

As someone whose trust fund baby neighbor recently invested in a sub woofer who enjoys cranking that stupid thing until my lights starts buzzing due to the vibration and enjoys having Tuesday night parties til 2:00 AM (because, hey, what else are you going to be doing on Wednesday morning? Work? What's that?), I can…
