I had to sign one working for Dell and Best Buy myself, even though they were both shit jobs and I was low on the totem pole.

Believe me, I feel your pain. I'm out of the greys on io9 and Kitchenette (thanks to my Imperial Nemesis) but not Jez, where I post like 88% of the time.

Taking food off a customer's plate before it goes out? That's what I find absolutely disgusting AND extremely unhygienic. Servers could graze off things that were sent back (although they still weren't supposed to) but off a customer's plate before it goes out? No. That could get a restaurant's health license…

Bannock is wonderful.

Tomato soup is wonderful and I will fight you about it. En garde, fuddy-duddy!

My Food Weekend was awesome so far, I had PURPLE POTATOES.

We're men. We're men in tights. We roam around the forest looking for fights.

I had thanksgiving last night, and this is what I had.

Don't star or reply to any of the comments and they'll remain in the greys.

Honestly, that's pretty disgusting to me.

Every restaurant where I've worked up here in Canada provides one free meal at least per shift.

Like the metric system.

David Bowie is a magical prince from the land of Elves and nobody will convince me otherwise.

I would want all his favourite shows to be cancelled and then to have his right testicle bruised horribly in a bathtub slipping accident. I'm too nice to wish him actual harm, but this makes me want to punch this dude in the face.

They asked me to show them. I didn't want potatoes so I made chicken alfredo instead for myself and gave them simple directions.

I never said it was rocket science.

To make it worse, these two dudes were travelling in New Zealand from Denmark somewhere, on their own, and staying in hostels. They wanted me to show them how to boil potatoes.

I learned how to cook and clean from both my parents, myself. My dad is the one who gets really frustrated over a messy house, too.

I was travelling in New Zealand once and some guys I met in one town didn't know how to cook anything or do anything for themselves because their mothers did it all for them. I was stunned.
