When people bring up this tired old adage, I just skip the whole lecture simmering inside of me on the history of the human race and the influences of social psychology and sociology, and instead bluntly point out that Darren Wilson is younger than I am.

Aww, this almost makes me nostalgic for my server days and the customer who whistled for me like a dog and then told me "Good girl" when I delivered his drink to the table.
I was twenty years old, and temporarily insane.
Sometimes I don’t even mind when stuff like this happens because I figure, hell, at least I know who to avoid.
My girlfriend and I both have Julep subscriptions, although we skip more months than we get them. (We joined before they imposed a limit on the number of boxes you could skip. I don't know if they've repealed that limit or not.) She wears more nail polish than I do, so I almost always get the Modern Beauty Box if I do…
That haircut looks amazing on her. Too bad I just do not trust her as a human being.
Well I will definitely have to poke my nose into this new album, because "Forget" has a sound I can't resist. I do think you're right in that she sounds like her heart and her self is much more in this music, at least just from listening to this one compared to Electra Heart. She sounds like she loves this.
Oh whew. I can't afford a memorial tattoo right now. Feel better, Joni!
Nooo :( Sending lots of good vibes.
I'm sorry, I just had the most vivid (and adorable) mental image of you walking through a room, finding him sitting in front of a computer fapping to porn, and patting him fondly on the head as you walked on past.
All right, you've sold me. Now to figure out how to add it to my Amazon Birthday Wishlist without giving anyone the vapors.
I occasionally freelance edit erotic fiction, and can I just say that the ideas people have about what sexual acts do/might feel good actually alarm me. I'm always a bit concerned about people actually doing them.
Also also also: pleeeeease never put anything sugary anywhere near genital cavities (aka vaginas and urethras). If the worst yeast infection have never been significant to you before, they will be forever afterward.
Without having seen you in action, I can only say that sometimes body language and tone of voice go a long way toward making what you intend as politeness seem over the top or even condescending. I obviously can’t say if that’s what you’re doing, since I’ve never been around you, but as a server, I know I would feel…
You can also add, “I’ve narrowed it down and almost made up my mind, but could I have just a second or two more?” so that they know you’re close to making a decision and not just blindly dithering about.
Or my dad who always thinks he’s a comedian and never, ever, ever is.
Even in the US, how you’ve treated the server for the rest of your visit has a LOT to do with whether they perceive communicating via hand gestures as rude. If I’d built up some rapport with a table and they were otherwise very kind and polite to me, and made gestures across the restaurant while also make eye contact,…
As someone who spent several years as a server dependent on tips, I just got a little teary at your Cheesecake Factory story. I wish you excellent karma in all your endeavors.
