“Not sure if this is a psychological “trick,” but when I was younger I used to think saying “I don’t care, whatever you want to do” was being flexible and helpful re: making plans. It’s not; it’s trash.”

“MAGAts”

Yup. As soon as these shits started getting painted as victimized angels, I started shouting that they were assholes in MAGA hats bused in from a boys school to protest women’s reproductive rights. Even if the black men and the native protesters started shouting at them, they deserved it.

If that picture isn’t a perfect distillation of 400 plus years of white colonialism, I don’t know what is.

Yeah - my partner and I were talking about future plans, super casual in our bedroom, and I turned around to find him on one knee. It’s one of my most treasured memories - if he’d done it in a restaurant or anywhere public, it would have been a nightmare (and I would have said no).

I made my best friend run after her to invite her to meet us at our next spot for drinks.

I love her.

Saw this at a fancy restaurant last week. My girlfriends and were out for dinner (yes, heathens, we were on fucking time, yes we tipped 20%, no, we didn’t make the waitress ‘sing for her supper’), when this dumbass pulls out a ring, drops down on one knee. And proposes to his girlfriend, who clearly wasn’t having it.…

On the other hand, a public rejection is much more amusing for your unwilling captive audience.

As a confirmed introvert, a restaurant proposal would have been a horror for me. The first person I was engaged to, did it on a Thanksgiving dinner during dessert in front of all his family, my mother and my sister. My family had no idea, but his did and it was awkward as hell, and pushed me to make a decision that I…

“We’ve had people that have suddenly needed the check because the proposal didn’t go well.”

Does your partner like being the center of attention? Only do this if you know the answer is unequivocally “yes”. Incidentally, if your answer is “I dunno”, then you need to postpone the proposal for a little while. I mean, make sure you are both on the same page about where you think your relationship is going too,…

Of course, it would be immediately obvious because the glass would be clear both ways, and there’s the whole part where silhouettes are easily visible through frosted glass.

One thing getting older teaches you to appreciate (and it’s only amplified when you have kids)...going out to eat between 6:30 and 8:30 on a weekend is a sucker’s exercise in futility.

I feel like this is easy. Half my friend group couldn’t show up on time to anything if their lives depended on it. Does it drive me crazy? Yes. But I live them and it's easier to manage the situation than try and make them show up on time. You figure out which places will seat you immediately and which ones make you…

That might work until the actual person shows up. I was with someone that pulled this stunt and it was incredibly embarrassing to have stolen someone’s reservation. They were livid with our party of 10 and we looked like complete A**holes, even though I had nothing to do with it and was parking the car. I still felt…

Found out a while ago that my own father thought it was okay to leave a dollar or two on a $100 meal. We hadn’t gone out to eat much since I was a kid and I didn’t pay attention. He’s not an asshole, it was just pure ignorance. My brother and I confronted him about it and he had no idea how little servers were paid,…

One time my friend left a shitty tip. I said, “Hey, Friend, what’s with the shitty tip?” Then he answered me and our lives proceeded from there. 

...the “connection” was the name that they realized was based off of a slur hoping no one would care. Otherwise there is really no reason to have ‘great’ after it.
