So you’ve met every older woman in my family? They’ll take that ten cents, and complain to the manager too.

I genuinely keep forgetting to avoid that place on Wednesdays. I walk in, see a huge crush of the elderly, and just assume bingo just let out somewhere. The waitstaff often scolds me for not remembering free pie day.

Hey, are you interested in creeper-customer stories and/or highly illegal practices? I admit I’d have to use a fake/vague restaurant name reference.

On free pie day our Baker’s Square reeks like a charnal house from all the seniors packed in there, seething with ancient indignation over every little thing. I once saw a wizened old lady complain that her tea was too hot and demand the waitress “fix” it. The poor woman had to stand there pouring little drips of her…

I would counter that both the kids and the adults in these circumstances would benefit from some impulse control training. Can’t fix entitled and crazy if you let it grow up that way.

I’m not sure it’s ever really ok to be white.

HEY. Pirate is OUR word.

It’s available year round in some parts of Canada. My friends in New Brunswick shun it like the shameful hussy-ed up side-piece this sandwich is.

I’m sorry :(

How about mini-crushes on the writers? I’ve been fantasizing about tenderly yodeling my love in the night like a stray cat beneath C.A. Pinkham’s window for a few days now.

Agreed. Asking if a diner is done is totally acceptable if no visible eating/picking is happening.

I’m with Laurel here. I go out to eat for the food AND the company, meaning a conversation might happen that could slow down the maximum mechanical food-to-mouth input speed. My husband often scarfs his food insanely fast, the result of having had siblings growing up. I’m fine with him having his plate cleared when…

What are the odds that Subway hires a lobbyist to try and make “light vandalism” illegal and actionable?

Women have to be masculine to be strong? -screech- Patriarchy bus, this is clearly our stop.

At least you won’t get charged for a second seat like heavy people.

I have not seen someone publicly ridiculed for being tall. The tall people were always the popular ones in childhood and adulthood, and often the ones doling out the mockery. I’ve seen short people and fat people hassled and mocked by strangers in public, but not tall people.

Oh, I don’t know. I used to fly quite a bit and I always carried puppets, because if you’re going to be trapped with a toddler, you might as well be entertaining.

Whenever a parenting technique is shared on the internet, people seem to rush to tell the originator that they are doing something wrong. Realistically, whatever works for you is great, and while it may not work for anyone else because different people have different experiences, it’s certainly nice to know about…
