With the "Let me show you my bag" crowd it's just about how much junk you can get in your backpack. It makes every trip to Starbucks like a trek through the Himalayas!

The strange thing about The Olive Garden is that it has this subset of regular customers who think that they are royalty simply because they are regular customers.

If it were nice, they wouldn't be (literally) paying you to live there.

This is a great idea for people that have more condoms than rubber bands in their house.

I just think it's interesting that it's universally understood that this happens in the food industry but we expect a higher degree of professionalism from people in other lines of work.

As much as I love BCO, I gotta call bullshit on the first and last stories...

Fortunately, the next bad customer ordered the fish and chips. He put the tartar sauce down his pants to help with the third-degree burns.

So is this just a perk of food service? If I was an auto mechanic and a customer pissed me off, could I tamper with their brakes? That's cool, right? Of if I was an X-ray technician could I just leave the machine on a leeeetle bit longer for someone I didn't like?

On a (semi-) related note, did anyone see that anti-vax lady on The Nightly Show this week? Man, she was terrible. Part of her argument was companies make a lot money off vaccines. I bet the companies that make fire extinguisher make money off those too and I'm still going to keep one in my house.

Not so much "evil" as petty and stupid.

All I know is 1) She is awesome on Drunk history and 2) "Lisa Bonet ate no basil" is a palindrome.

Do those White House petitions actually do anything? I always kind of assume they're like the button you press at the crosswalk — something to make you feel like you're making a difference without actually mattering.

Every year I wonder the same thing: is this rampant holiday tipping of everyone you come into contact with just an NYC thing? I don't remember my parents ever doing any holiday tipping when I was growing up and I don't think anyone I know does it either. The only people I tip are the house cleaning crew but the idea…

Selling DVDs and CDs is such a pain for so little return I just take then to Goodwill for the tax deduction at this point.

See, that's why most restaurants fail in the first year — they don't realize they have to be very quality focused.

I am all for any award acceptance where it takes longer for the guy to walk to the stage than it takes to give the speech.

Yeah, that customer has some real issues but Mr. Approachable Espresso just comes off as a huge passive aggressive jerk. If you don't serve plain black coffee just tell him, for God's sake. Sounds like somebody just wanted to throw a cup of gasoline on that fire for fun.

Yep, that would do it.

"However, she would order a chocolate milkshake without the syrup, without the ice cream, and without the chocolate."

I remember the whole "old people that want you to have their orders memorized" thing. As if saying "a sausage biscuit and senior decaf" was going to shorten his life expectancy.
