I’m usually the one that points it out. My kingdom for a Delete button!

Oh Gawd. Brain totally misfiring today. I was calculating $10.10 + $3.90, never mind that I typed $12.10. What a dumbass lol

I would usually be behind you on not applying one culture’s experience and knowledge to another culture and finding the other culture inferior based on being different. But I think the story here isn’t “Someone from another culture was mistaken about something she had no reason to know, so let’s laugh.” I think it’s…

As someone who was good at math (not great, but decent at it) I HATE that being bad at math is a thing people can just laugh off for simple shit like this. I’m not talking about stuff like calculus. That’s fine if you can’t do it. Just like it’s fine if you don’t read Joyce or Faulkner or whatever. But if you come…

I imagine she once dealt with a surly employee at McDonald’s in London, who, when asked “Are cheeseburgers vegetarian?” just said “Yes,” because he or she just couldn’t care less—and this girl just never questioned that sarcastic response not even once.

That list would be so long, and complicated. Some of the jokes are born in the comments section.

Being a regular and getting comped stuff makes me all warm in my nethers.

Yeah man, you’re not an asshole at all. Sometimes I get free stuff from restaurants where I’m a “regular,” but I never, ever ask for it. One should always enter a dining establishment with the intention of paying for everything one orders, that’s just the rules of the game. If the server likes you enough to comp you…

Holy crap that is hilarious. I pictured that entire thing as a cartoon. WOULD WATCH!

I am a geometry idiot, but algebra is my bitch. In fact, I used to get 100s in algebra just so I could get a 30 in geometry and still pass.

Math IS hard, but anyone who sends a (probably) notarized letter in comic sans (I’m assuming) over a buck is a giant douche.

Also, I’m a firm believer in the policy of sometimes you offer free stuff to regulars as something nice. They don’t get to demand it.

Oh, crazy popcorn lady. Just as bad as Caramel Lady, if not worse.

even if you don’t catch it the first time, i like to think most people would see the charge, and double check with a calculator before taking the time to write to the restaurant

When I was a server we used to have to use whatever they put in total line regardless of tip amount for this exact reason.

I'll have it on a burger once in a while, but do not even THINK of putting it on my salad. Unless you want a plate thrown at you.

She proceeds to explain to him that only a hamburger contains meat, and that a cheeseburger is vegetarian. She says she knows this because she has been to McDonald’s in London literally *hundreds* of times in the last few years, and that a cheeseburger is always vegetarian when she orders one!

The Reuben one reminded me of a story Terry Pratchett told. He said that one jet-lagged evening he accidently asked for Three Mile Island dressing for his salad. The waitress didn’t say a word, just brought him Thousand Island dressing and a bottle of hot sauce.

I just know that at some point before I die I'm going to see a package of hamburger with a warning label "Contains meat." and it's going to be because of one of these idiots.
