Ha, I have to agree with you. By all means, the customer was the dumb one, but at some point you have to learn to second guess the dummies. She was waving one giant red flag.

Okay, so, I actually find it pretty frickin' weird that, after that long conversation with the customer trying to explain how heat works, in which the customer had asked about getting drinks iced, the barista didn't clarify whether or not the customer wanted it hot or iced. Yes, the customer was dumb, yes she should…
Last week I started binge reading BCO and the comments and I am absolutely stunned at what easy concepts people can't grasp or ask for things that are so common it is really strange they could not have heard(I just read the article with the Great Egg Wars).
I'm up for it. But I have to tell you I'm on a Deep-Paleo diet. If you want to join me, here's a tree branch, over there is a fire, and if you need flint scrapers to sharpen the fire-hardened stick into a spear, they're all over the ground. After you get your gear ready, we go into the woods. With luck we may have…

Actual paleo infant/child diet:
If you want to follow a fad diet yourself, fine, whatever, it's your choice. But if you are feeding your infant a fad diet you really need a kick in the ass. And yes, "paleo" is a fad diet.
This is a story of how one of the worst days of my life ended up reaffirming my faith in strangers and in the human race in general.
I'm normally a very nice person who values politeness and kindness- until this one day. I had just moved from a pedestrian-friendly city to one that required a car, and was still adjusting to car culture when I got really sick and had to go to the doctor. The office was in one of the busiest areas of the city, and I…
Sometimes shit in life becomes too much and something—be it small or large—pushes you over the emotional edge. Often…
I have Snow Peach! Revlon re-released it and four other retired lipsticks as a limited edition collection last year. It's a bright peachy-melon-pink.
Color television wasn't widespread until, oh, the late 1960s. But don't think that stopped makeup brands from…
My birthday is a few days before Christmas, and Barbie came out the year I was four. My father was sick that year and in and out of the hospital, and my mom was working nights in a restaurant to support us.
Whenever I needed a Barbie "club outfit," I'd cut up some electric tape from my dad's toolbox and fashion it into a…
The Gone Home devs' follow up game should focus on a men's rights activist struggling to come to terms with having his opinions validated less and less frequently. Also he's magically switched bodies with his hamster.
I did have love letters. Lots of them. At some point I imposed some organization- one manila envelope for each major relationship. Shortly after I married, at age 31, I decided that I wouldn't want my future child to find these letters after my future death, so I disposed of them. I plunked them right in the…
Unbeknownst to me, by the time you are 30 years old, you should apparently know better than to have a closet full of…
Literally every one of my best friendships (and also my fiancee) were founded on an obsession with Wuthering Heights. Obviously we need to be bffs.
Your town ran out of strangers?
There's an old episode of Sex in the City where Carrie, newly cohabitating with her boyfriend Aidan, finds herself…
