I once worked in a French restaurant that had sweetbreads on the menu. A customer once ordered them and then sent them back when she discovered the dish was not vegetarian.
Wow, whatever happened to 'you eat what your parents made for you or you go to bed hungry'? There were a few times in my childhood that I went to bed hungry, but good on my mom and dad for not bending over backwards. I wouldn't.
I used to work in a bookstore. There was the usual stuff, like people asking for the "non-fiction" section and then getting distressed when we asked them what kind, specifically. (History, biography, self-help...? There's no sign that says "non fiction"!)
"...Accept these terms, and the cosmos is yours."
Creationists aren't even on the radar screen for them, they wouldn't even consider us plausible at all.
Tyson laid it out in the show's first episode:
I've never worked in food service...but having worked in retail and as a tour guide...good lord are people dumb.
But...by definition, police are supposed to protect and serve. What you call "good cop" stories are SUPPOSED to be the norm, because that is a police officer's goddamn job. Jezebel reports on stories like this because they're NEWS. A police officer that does something heartwarming beyond the call of her/his job is…
My advice for number one: Just respond with "I guess I'm just not as insecure as you are."
Instead of "pro-vaxxers" can we just be "normal people" or "rational everyday humans?" I don't want these anti-vax people to be given any more ideas that this bullshit is a two-sided "debate."
Ah, "haters". The old insult that every 13-year-old (or adult with equivalent maturity level) uses to insulate themselves from any criticism of their own irresponsible actions.
Hello all. I go to Fond du Lac High School and actually did the artwork for this story. I worked very closely with Tanvi Kumar when she wrote this piece and can honestly say there is nothing she could have possibly done better. (I'd also like to give the highest praise to our wonderful instructor, Matt Smith. He…
Yeah, the "you're not invited but hey can you spring for a party" is bullshit. The best man is in charge of throwing the party. If he invites the boyfriend to said bachelor party with the understanding that everybody kicks in X amount for drinks or whatever, that's one thing; the boyfriend can decide whether to go or…
I think the boyfriend throwing the bachelor party, but not being invited to the wedding, is a little strange. I've never heard of someone being involved in actual planning of those events not even being able to go to the wedding (I mean, that's a wedding-party-member responsibility, really) and I think it's a little…
I read "How to Avoid Befriending a Bigfoot". Someone please write that article.
It's like, "do these people live in the REAL WORLD?" Are they under a fucking rock? Have they had jobs elsewhere? Almost every place I have ever worked, there has been a person whose politics I have disagreed with or religion I thought was insane. However, I don't go around telling people what they can and can't do.…
Should it be legal for a baker who opposes gay marriage to write in icing on all the same-sex wedding cakes she bakes, "Marriage = One Man, One Woman" instead of "Mazel Tov Adam and Steve" or whatever?
Don't wanna serve the entire public? Set up a private club. That's all there is to it. If you don't wanna serve all of the public, don't open a business.
Not gonna lie, I kind of totally adore this woman. Sometimes having literally no filter is a good thing!
