I was accidentally overcharged at Panera (they put an iced lemonade on the receipt when I got a regular drink), and since it was the lunch rush, I said no worries on a refund. It’s like a dollar difference.

One time I had a server comp TWO ENTREES because she felt we had waited too long (this was at a not-inexpensive place) and I hadn’t even NOTICED. I tipped HARD cause that basically knocked 50% off the bill (and it was my friend’s birthday so I was paying hehehe)

This was brilliantly written. I felt your pain. I laughed with you. I cried with you! And then, “Yanni on an endless loop,” I recoiled in horror with you.

Ever heard of the Entertainment Book? It’s a collection of discounts for restaurants, hotels, attractions and the like. I worked at a ski resort in the Vail Valley. It wasn’t quite ski-in, ski-out, but it was a short walk to the lifts. Here’s the thing… Vail has a summer season. Summer season can be slow, so some…

The coffee story... It fucking amazes me how often people expect ridiculous shit for free. You have to have the imagination and expectations of a young child to read “free small coffee” and think “free complicated coffee based drink.”

It seems like most people are ignoring your entire article just to be like “but you can cook! you just need to learn how to budget/grocery shop/buy ingredients, etc” but ... she just said she doesn’t want to.

The only thing cooking has over takeout for me is that I’m more likely to cook a healthy meal than I am to chose a healthy option from the whole constellation of takeout options.

Thats actually so awesome that she acknowledged why this is harder as a single person. In addition to not necessarily wanting to eat the same thing six meals in a row if I cook in any quantity, I’m facing the reality that my dinner plans often change last minute, and that drinks are one of the few non-app-based…

For the same reason people like veal, or caviar, etc. Baby food is better I guess.

Good red velvet cake is like good carrot cake. Sure, if you can find a well made version, yes, it’s good. 90% of the ones out there are made for people who like boxed cakes and canned frosting.

It’s a huge deal for many reasons but the main reason that stands out to me as an avid and long-time HONY follower is that the comments were REALLY important for this young person. It is known on HONY that the subjects of the photos see and read the comments and the comments on this photo were inbelievably supportive…

I thought not was sweet too. Especially his reaction—he was clearly overwhelmed. I’m confused by people’s reaction about her being cold. She's a judge for gods sake, she has to maintain a level of professionalism. I liked how she talked about what a nice guy he was (and likely continues to be) and encouraged him for…

Now, I feel obligated to mention Michaela DePrince who I’m also obsessed with.

I would like to say that I would watch the shit out of a ballerina reality show. Someone get on that IMMEDIATELY.

Well if you pay them enough sex workers will say anything, Senator.

Why would I want to help keep them FROM the brink of madness? They aren’t guests, they’re sacrifices.

This is fantastic! Now my neighbors can’t say shit about my giant blood stone circle in the backyard or the skeleton army I planted under their flower bed.

It isn’t as expensive as you’d think, though.

So you’re telling me this dealership was so grossly negligent that they loaned a car to someone who was drunk and they didn’t have a reasonable amount of liability insurance for their business? It seems I’m better insured than this business...

All the stars for you. That stuff is the snack food equivalent of crack.
