They weren’t bad, just... overexcite-able maybe? It helped that it was a Rainforest Cafe, so they were SUPER looking forward to going there and then forced to leave because they weren’t listening. But I figure it was the fact that I followed through with a threat that forced them to realize they should probably listen…

My grandmother has started being very picky, last few months we end up sending the first thing back and having to order something else for her. She doesn’t speak english so the staff doesn’t hear everything she says which is good, lol. But I am not going to stop taking her out, I am just going to take her to the only…

I’ve got a friend who I like a lot, who’s a wonderful, sweet, caring human being who’s a delight to be around, and I almost never see him anymore because it would involve going to a restaurant with his horrible, horrible wife, who I’m not overly fond of in general, but who is an absolute nightmare at restaurants.

That's totally fair and definitely what I would do, but from a purely numbers game, I don't think this guy was terrible.

I didn’t have to confront her myself, but I did start refusing dinner invitations that involved my ex’s boss. She was the sort of person who thought sending things back to the kitchen made her seem sophisticated. I could no longer afford having a folded $20 in my hand each time to slip to the server for dealing with…

Kind of... and I say kind of because I had this discussion with a good friend of mine because her children, not her, was hell-on-wheels for a while.

I’m definitely in the “it’s not okay” camp. If you’re leaving trash on the floor after a movie, then it takes that much longer to clean up/turn the theater over for the next showing. I never understand people that do this, since it’s not really that hard to take your trash to the back of the room when exiting. On…

Legally they are allowed to hire based on attractiveness. Legally they are not allowed to fire people for not wearing high heels even if they have a doctor’s note. It’s pretty simple.

Yeah, you can take your oppression Olympics right the fuck on out of here, thanks.

I will never understand the name Boston Pizza. I rep my hometown pretty hard but we do not have good pizza.

It talks? No thanks, then.

There was no yes option, so I’m just gonna mash my junk against the monitor.

I’m on record as stating that I’ll eat insects a) if they taste OK, and b) if they do not look in any way like insects.

“All that said, ironically the collective over reaction to his comment is more damaging to women currently or dreaming to work in the sciences than his actual comment ever could have been by a factor of many.”

I totally agree with you about the criticism of his looks. It’s mean-spirited, unnecessary, and doesn’t add anything to the conversation.

I hope somebody is nice enough to stop by and let me know why I shouldn’t be excited by this. Ideally this hypothetical person would take the time to point out why this win is not only meaningless, but would explain to me why American soccer will never catch on.

Welcome to Kinja, Mr. Blatter.

Classist? Have you even heard/seen him? He basically gives a verbal enema to those with unfettered and corrupted power and wealth every chance he gets. If that’s classist, then I guess anybody who cares about how much they’re getting screwed on all sides are classist.

God, these “work from home” bots have gotten really edgy.
