I remember that moment so clearly

I have been vegetarian for 15 years and have eaten meat when drunk, for me it’s to do with hunger and proximity (the last time was at 4am after a BBQ and the only food left was some chicken legs). I can mitigate the cravings by carb-loading before I drink.

Yeah, but every time someone gets hit by a train, the line gets closed and all the trains are cancelled. Do the travellers of Britain really deserve that because some idiots can't tell the difference between fact and fiction?

There’s one near my parents’ every year, it’s called The Amazing Maze of Maize.

Cooking or processing foods changes their structure and this can affect whether or not people with allergies react to them. I have a friend who is allergic to raw peppers and chillies, but not cooked ones.

I have the same problem when artists start earnestly talking about their work, and I’m y’know, an artist.

He was a shitty human being in general.

I had a manager who tipped himself. I’m from the UK so we got minimum wage and there was a shared tip jar, and the normal staff working would be a manager (salaried), a chef (also salaried), and 2-3 waiters (paid hourly).

What should have been said: “Sir, the policy of the restaurant is X, this policy was set by the owners and is clearly stated in Y and has been explained to you by your server. Your bill is Z$.”

That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.

So, exactly what you do when anyone else cuts themselves and bleeds on food then?

Purple definitely tastes like Thursdays.

Excellent Friending. 10/10

And then she won, so...

I once called into work (about four hours before my shift) and asked if anyone could cover my shift as I was feeling sick and was told no. About an hour after that I started throwing up and collapsed on the floor, when I came round (still lying on the floor) I called and said there was no way I was coming in.

Is this really not an option in the US? Yesterday I was talking to the doctor and was given the option of ‘period pill’ (three weeks pill/one week off) or ‘n period pill’ (ie one designed to be taken every day without breaks).

*British face* How else do you pronounce ‘Worcester’?

And shoes inside! Every time I watch American to shows, I can’t get over all the characters wearing shoes inside. It’s so weird. And dirty.

When I was a child, all adults were Mr/Mrs/Miss [surname] until I was invited to call them by their first name. This included teachers, friends of my parents and parents of my friends.
