What the ever loving crap? This isn't a 'study'. This is a website for bisexual women polling their facebook friends and finding out how many of them were bisexual. It's like if I polled my facebook friends to ask how many people liked me and then used that to assert that my popularity rating is higher than Barack

A few years ago, during Passover, I had a girl order a bacon cheeseburger— with no bun. (And yes, it was for Passover, because I asked if it was a gluten intolerance and she told me.)

How prominent does the religion aspect need to be? Because, Miyazaki all the way! Demon boars and river gods and well written young female protagonists, oh my!

Well, I'm doing better. Now I (usually) wait until the end of the shift for shots, rather than starting midway through.

I think so. In my less generous (to my own kind) moments, I imagine it's because they're used to dining at an Applebee's in Bumblefuck, Nowhere, the kind that's staffed entirely by fifteen year olds, and don't understand that there's such a thing as "professional" service. In my less generous (to the customer)

Ah, the good ol' "Can I do (completely unreasonable and frankly impossible request)?"

This isn't so much a story as a constant occurrence: people who don't know what "ready" means. Inevitably, the dialogue goes something like this.

Here's the thing, as a server myself, I probably hate those people (the ones that lie about allergies) more than you do, because A) they waste my time going through every single, say, gluten-free or can-be-gluten-free option on the menu when really they for some reason think that if it doesn't have gluten it isn't a

Oh, I've heard that before, and I totally get it. Cheese is a chemical process. No, what I was talking about is more the middle-aged woman who is just trying not to eat anything fattening under the guise of being "allergic to butter." Makes me think of this.

Seriously, dude? You have a whole mess of people here with actual experience in this industry telling you that this specific regulation is no more than feel-good security theater, with no benefit to the customer and in fact posing actual risk to the preparer and you still insist that the bureaucratic regulation is

Oh my god, I cannot recommend this comment enough. It boggles my mind the way people with allergies behave in restaurants. It's either "I'm gluten free, SERIOUSLY, OMG, NO GLUTEN— but I'll start with the breaded cheese puffs" or, halfway into the meal, "wait, I'm deathly allergic to nuts. Does this have nuts in it?"

Slavery in the United States was a "manifestation of an entire, unified culture, which was obviously very complex" too. And I think everyone here would agree that it was a very good thing that certain social crusaders demanded the cultural overhaul that ended it.

A tampoon is what happens when the string of the tampon disrupts the urine stream and suddenly you have a "tampon typhoon." It's a common word on the SAT.

I was just coming here to post that. Great minds think alike!*

I think we're all having that reaction. I had to do a triple-take, because my image of Abigail Breslin is totally of her being like, 11 years old. And that's after I acknowledge she's grown up.

I think my favorite thing is that the little girl can recite, line for line, jokes that I'm sure she doesn't understand at all.

Oh wow, a sarcastic gif!! You have completely made me reconsider my previously stated argument and opinions.

Eh, I get the criticism, but I think this joke is a little more benign, simply because of its focus— the butt of the joke isn't Lupita Nyong'o, but rather, the Jolie-Pitts and their perceived white-savior complex. (It could also be argued that the butt of the joke is the Jolie-Pitt kids, which is less okay, but for

Jesus Christ. If I had married the (ambitious, attractive, came-from-money) dude* that I was dating my sophmore year of college, I would be ready to kill myself right now. Your romantic judgement is like a fine wine, kids. It only gets better the longer you wait.
