My wife is one of these people...

I would have been beyond pissed if I had been there waiting patiently and then had to watch a complete asshole get seated ahead of me. That would definitely be my last time at that place, and you better believe the manager would know why.

I would have gone up to the GM, and calmly informed him if that if he caved into that raging asshole's demands, that I would never set foot in his restaurant again, and encouraged everyone within 500 meters to do the same.

As a boomer myself [I'm 60], I'm not here to rail against your generalization of my generation being assholes. I will point out that when I was younger, I ran into the same thing with the old men of the generations ahead of me. I don't think this is a specific generation thing; I think this is more of an entitled old…

It's always that age group, man, almost invariably it's a Baby Boomer. I don't get why, when they were supposed to be the generation of "free love" and shit, but in general they're the most entitled assholes I've ever had the displeasure in dealing with.

I wondered specifically about the people who'd reserved the table the manager gave to the horrible woman. Maybe they'd just arrived to claim it - and, seeing their reserved table given away to an abusive loudmouth, simply left, never to return. Just because they didn't say anything doesn't mean they didn't show up...

I do this a lot at stores and things if I'm in line behind someone who is acting a fool over nothing. I don't "read the riot act," per se, because that usually just makes them more angry, but I stand back there and say things like "Are you really doing this right now?" or "Your temper tantrum is wasting everyone's…

Yeah, I would seriously consider it, if I were one of the other customers. "Oh, you mean my waiting patiently has been rewarded by that bitch being sat first? Never mind."

I'm sorry, but the woman threw a pager into a crowded restaurant. He should have filed a police report and kicked her out. He was frankly really lucky that woman had such terrible aim, because had she hit a customer...

Fast food managers tend to come in two flavors: megalomaniacal power-starved tiny little douchebag and cool but helpless to deal. I'm glad you left too.

I used to work at a pizza place in high school and one of the girls I worked with would call in an hour before her shift once a week with some excuse as to why she couldn't possibly make it in. I was there for nearly three years and in that time she had about 7 dead grandmothers, 5 or 6 car accidents, horrible…

"Can I get a caffe' latte, please?"

"When Rosa Parks said she didn't give up her bus seat because she was tired, she meant that she was tired of being treated like a second-class citizen, not that she was physically exhausted. This is clear in the full context of her statement. The idea that she was just a quiet lady…

This is quite honestly the most inexplicable and obviously awful corporate idea I have ever heard of. They would have been better off reminding people they offer health insurance to their employees, unlike most independent coffee shops or fast food joints. For that, I have never hated Starbucks, but this "race…

Ah, yes—the ol' "I'll call Channel 2 on y'all!" as I call it. Since I live in St. Louis, I immediately yell out, "Are you a travelin' man?"

Oh my god the last one gets me. I worked at a steakhouse outside Boston for 6 years while I was in school and then between jobs. I was known for being a Christian who really tried to practice an authentic faith where I loved and respected people and was never preachy.

Oooh! Does that mean we can ask Catholic Lawmakers to renounce the Pope and reaffirm their Allegiance to America?

Oh gosh, silly me

Even as I read that, I'm like "must be Capital Iron". YYJ represent!
