"It's a bizarre moral blackmail that gives an individual consumer far too much control over a server's livelihood."

If you don't make it a SUPER HUGE DEAL, then the server should (generally speaking, of course) offer you an alternative. Conversely, if it really isn't a huge deal, just enjoy it and let the server know that there was a mistake, because at the end of the day, constructive feedback is good.

I feel you on this. The most tip-deserving servers I've ever met was in Shanghai and Japan.. and ran after me to give me back my tip.

I never realized how bald Malfoy looks in this gif..

I don't know. A genuine compliment never hurt anybody.

Just smile and nod in acknowledgement at people who will make eye-contact. Gradually, people will recognize you, and be more willing to speak with you later on.

I'm glad to hear it worked out. I was dating someone who was super close to his ex. Unfortunately, I couldn't "get over it" because it made me so uncomfortable.

I liked reading the two sides, and brought to light a lot of things I didn't know about. But I agree, anecdotes are hard to trust.

Yes, it sounds like it's a pollen reaction. Same thing happens to my friend. She is unable to touch raw carrots with her hand without getting hives.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. It must be the intense love of salt that does it for me.

"Pre-washed" greens are the scariest.

Have you tried it? What about it don't you like?

I LOVED this PSA and sing it whenever I see something I don't want to eat. :P

Breaking Bad. Started when they were starting Season 5. Caught up in 2.5 weeks.

I was in a similar situation as letter #2, except there wasn't even a nasty breakup! I was really close friends with a guy (like my little brother, really), and his girlfriend had mad-jealousy whenever we hung out.
