Hmm, I may be able to use this story to get my wife to stop buying broccoli.

For whatever reason, and maybe it is purely anecdotal with our friend group...but we always spend more money when going out with single friends. We always go to a trendier and more expensive restaurants and are more likely to drink several more beers. With our group, the couples typically go home sooner in the…

Glad to see Mod doing well, <$10 price point for unlimited toppings combined with the way its cooked just makes it worth it.

Last time I paid a third of the bill for half a dozen people because everyone else thought they paid their share. Admittedly, these were coworkers, not really friends.

Blaze makes decent pizzas, but I can’t stand the place near me because it’s too goddamn loud. it’s basically a big steel roof box with absolutely zero acoustic treatment. There’s no reason I should have to shout to be heard by someone at my table during lunch at a place like this.

Americans like pizza and we like it even better when someone cooks it really quickly for us

What a huge scam, why would anyone agree to split the check evenly unless everyone got the same thing. If someone tried that shit I would call them out immediately I don’t care if it makes me look cheap. Also, servers that get pissy when they’re asked to split a check are the worst, don’t hate the diners hate your…

Some folks like to say they aren’t cheap but deep down, they are. These are the types of people who want to split the bill. They will eat extravagantly while you, a reasonable person, will eat modestly. Then they will expect you to subsidize their extravagant ways. These people are known as Republicans, and you…

I’ve never understood the concept of splitting the bill with friends. In my group we all get separate checks and I don’t know why you would do otherwise. We have picked up the check for one another from time to time but never split a bill among the group.

From my own experience, separate checks is the best option. A friend’s birthday was at a steakhouse they liked. I was vegetarian at the time and their vegetable side dishes were enough for me. My brother doesn’t drink but the table ordered two bottles of wine. We decided to split the bill and ended up paying $80.00…

my wife always gets roped into paying more. Her and her girlfriends(usually single) go out for dinner, she has 1 glass of wine and her friends each have 4-5...and then they want to split it evenly. She did it once but I was very proud of her last time when she paid her $30, and her two other friends were left to split…

Good lord. It looks like wayfair vomited all over it.

When oh when will the barn door trend die? Especially barn doors over bathrooms? (No insulation...ick) I just know that people 20 years hence will be ripping them out like we rip out 90s soffits and paisley wallpaper.

Let’s call this decor what it is (and it wasn’t based on a tv series; it would’ve only been available on Beta or VHS, wink-wink):

Yuuuuppp, this is what it would look like if I decorated an “upscale” hotel entirely out of my local Walmart

Scrabble! It has literacy on top of randomness and strategy.

I would throw in Uno to teach children that a bad situation can always get worse. Nothing prepares you for the real world like having to draw 5 cards when you only have one left, foiling what seamed like an obvious victory.

I mean... It could happen.

I’d add parcheesi/Sorry. You have to balance luck, screwing other people and other people screwing you.

What are the essential board games? I can think of chess, checkers, go, mancala, and backgammon. What do you consider the best version of each (with chess I think being the only one with a definitive version)? Likewise, definitive card games.
