Ugh I was in Safeway one time and a few lines away from me there was an old lady arguing about change or something in the express line to a young East Indian Cashier. Anyhow, eventually she said something racist and the entire line hissed and booed her, but the best part was there was an old man in the line who stood…

At the grocery store I used to work in we had the opposite of that. There was this really sweet old lady who would come in all dressed up, and buy her groceries. Then when she was done she would hand whoever was working the register a quarter as a tip, so that we could take ourselves and some friends out for a soda.

“If you have to be extraordinary, be extraordinary.”

The beer refill one made me think of this time I was at this super divey bar to see a burlesque show. The waitress comes over and asks me what I want. There is no drink menu. I ask what they have. The following ensues (feel free to make fun of my taste in beer):
W: Whatever you’d like.
Me: Oberon please.
W: We don’t have…

I will bet you cash money that he’s one of those people who think their dates all go horribly “because women aren’t into nice guys.”

this remind me of a waitress i worked with at a small, family restaurant in Bloomington, IL. she was perfectly nice and not dreadful at her job, just a little ditzy sometimes. one day, during that slow spread between 2pm and 4pm, we were just prepping stations and getting sections ready for the evening shift servers.

Jamie Allmeyer’s story reminds me of my checkered history of ordering drinks in Utah. There’s the time I was told the wine special was “peanut gringo.” There’s the time my wife and I ordered two margaritas and had four individual glasses delivered to our table (Cuz, y’know, we each wanted two margaritas a piece. At…

I am now imagining that this waitress was a particularly bubble headed girl I knew in college who nearly killed us once because I told her to go straight at the traffic light, so she did, despite the fact that it was red at the time.

I’ve posted this story before, but fuck it, I’m telling it again.

it’s gratifying to know that in 30-40-50 years, we will have had the privilege of digital cameras and the like to have captured Tea Party rallies, Westboro Baptist Church rallies, anti-gay marriage rallies, and all the other stuff that *hopefully* will embarrass us as much then as it should now.

“his mom made him return it because “we don’t have room.”

If your baby hates being read to, you’re doing it wrong.

Who would ever give a tow company a good review?

$165,338,631 can’t buy you happiness that is broing it up with a bunch of insufferable people with last-names-as-first-name in salmon pink shorts.

I would have asked them if they would repeat that in the face of homeland security.

FPTP is especially bad in a multi-party environment, which ties into your point about movement towards two party systems. One of the main reasons the NDP and Liberals in Canada are against it is they often end up splitting the opposition vote between them and having a Conservative get elected with a minority of the…

So sayeth CGP Grey. He prefers Single Transferable Vote. Or, at least his videos do.

Not that they're in the dance, but I'm always thrown for a loop by Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

And if it all out crashes and doesn't return it doesn't really matter whether you put money in or not. We're all monetarily screwed at that point. But if it does continue its overall incline there's a lot to gain.
