I recently had a really lovely meal at a friend’s house. It wasn’t until after the meal (eaten informally on the couch, as they have a new baby) that they put their plates on the floor for the dog to lick clean.

I guess I didn’t grow up with dogs (my dad would have never fed one from the table anyway), but it was…

1. Buffets are different

I made this point, too. I know GB people have laminated cards they can carry to get kid’s menu items, but they (and people who have other problems or are recovering from an eating disorder) shouldn’t have to explain that to their server. 

This drives me insane. Did they lower the profit margin on the kid’s menu? Doubtful. Free nights aside, if I want to have something small or plain for w h a t e v e r reason, let me pay you for it, damnit. It’s not really a problem for me anymore since I’ve warmed up to taking home leftovers and expanded my palate,…

I do love “HOLY SHITBALLS”

I know this turned out fine for all involved, but Michael’s hesitancy is so understandable and this mom’s entitlement is unreal. Makes me cringe so bad every time

Right? The minute you have to push for it, you’ve lost whatever ounce of etiquette you were hoping to show off. Plan ahead, be flexible, and be gracious. 

I (as a straight female) always thought it was weird to have a stranger pay my bill, especially if I wasn’t planning to see them again. I always offer to split for the first few dates, but don’t put up too much of a fuss (“do you mind...” and an, “are you sure? Well, thank you”). I think it makes more sense to offer…

I dipped into the comments on the original YouTube clip (dumb, I know), and someone else made the great point that this entire ad is moot if they’re going to keep enforcing a gender tax on their women’s products.

Absolutely not trolling, I would love it

The ad is fine. I find it generally annoying when a product/company capitalizes on social movements, but this is fine.

Other ideas I can get behind:
- An ad featuring drag queens
- An ad featuring trans men/women and genderqueer folks: “The best anyone can get”

Personally, I’ve only thought about watching the show and already donated 2 bags of clothes to our office’s free pile (which gets donated to Goodwill at the end of each week).

Pittsburgh beat out Philly, I s’pose. And to their credit, I’ve been in several Pitt hotels that give complementary tiny GLASS bottles of Heinz, and not a single Philly one that offered a tiny can of whiz. 

1. Berries
2. Oranges and orange-adjacents
2.5 Chocolate Oranges
3. Apples (except Red Delicious, which can go die)
4. Pits (peaches, plums, nectarines)
5. Grapes
6. Pomegranites
7. Pineapples

I’m relatable, as I too have a human body

Chris Messina is the sleeper agent of the HWCs (Hot White Chrises).

They’re called Polish Chickens, and I love them

Might be! Hah I read right around that
