I always appreciated my tables sticking up for me. For a couple of reasons.. (1) I had no problem calling a customer out if they were TRULY crossing a line, but there are often situations where you know that to address their behavior directly would be what leads them from idiot/dickwad territory into full-blown "we…

Nope, they had it right. They wanted to spread the escalating tension around the room.

Say something; firstly it breaks the bubble of anonymity that tossers often think they have thus bringing all the public shame. Secondly, SOLIDARITY FUCKING ROCKS.
My family and I have one French restaurant we go to for all our special occasions, and it is so nice and the one server has worked there for at least the 15 years we've been going there - and I saw somebody do this ONCE. I'm not even violent but I wanted to reach across and break his fingers with my hands. First of…
What's touching about the Simmons Oscar is that he's such a working person's actor - it's really one for all of those "hey, it's that guy!" performers who dream of making it to this moment. And it will come on an evening when the In Memoriam reel will include one of the greatest actors of that kind, James Rebhorn.
My wife is an attorney who specializes in DV policy. She is retiring this year for an undetermined period of time to spend our son's youth as a full time mom. She doesn't have a single doubt about it being what she wants but she never would have guessed this for herself. Her work was supposed to come first - until she…
This made me cry a little bit. Thank you. The laugh-cry, "oh shit this resonates" kind. I have a 6-month old baby boy, and his mom—a fierce, brilliant, hard-willed crazy-work-ethic amazing-woman high earner—was in tears this morning as we left for work. Overwhelmed by... the balancing of it all? pushing body and…
Four years ago, I quit my high-profile, lucrative law job.
As a new parent and also a Browns fan, I did the opposite and filed a restraining order to keep them away from my kid.

When I was in 7th grade, my folks went to an adults-only wedding in Texas and left myself and my 2 younger siblings behind in Indiana with my aunt and uncle. One of the nights they were away was the night of my sister's 6th birthday, so my uncle took us to a Chuck E. Cheese-esque establishment. They had the same…
Living in a major city, the biggest cost a lot of city guys like me don't see coming is that 'Hey dumbass, you don't live in a lake' and then you have to spend money for a slip to keep it at the lake...or bring it home and subject it to more elements, more of an eyesore in your driveway, and more Chechens hiding in it.
When I was a freshman in college, during my first week of classes I brought my brand-new laptop to my school's library and sat in the crowded first floor in the "quiet area." I plugged in my headphones, opened my notes, and started playing some tunes.
Dumbest sober moment:
I was walking to my car to drive home after high school. For some reason, I was barefoot. I can't recall why exactly. But as I headed to my car I stepped in a huge pile of dog shit. It was gross, but without anything to wipe off the dog shit right at that moment I thought it could wait. I got in the car and began…
Don't tase me doe!
