Oof...that reminds me of the time I made a girl I knew in high school cry. She was very proud of the fact that she was vegetarian, and was always mildly chastising those of us who were not for our "cruelty" (despite this, she and I were still friends, as she was a very sweet and kind person).

Vegan steak, in that it's from a cow that ate only vegetables.

I've been lurking and reading BCO for weeks now, and I must say you're doing the Lord's work with this series, Pinkham.

After a few minutes, I returned to the table. The man ordered a hamburger.

You haven't had filet mignon until you've had it fresh off the boat. Also, if you need any monogrammed thermoses....

I explained to him that filet mignon is a steak, a very nice cut of beef. This guy actually argued with me, causing a big scene.

There is an obvious answer that no one is addressing.

Eeeeeehhhhh, most of this evidence seems built in the idea that his eyes are completely dead and not functioning. If he's just seeing big blurry shapes all the time, he'd still be functionally blind and still fully capable of doing this stuff, especially since he's got his other senses and has been relying on them for…

It wasn't until I started working at a coffee shop and physically looked at the sticker on the POS that I figured out it meant Point of Sale, not Piece of Shit. I read your stuff for months trying to figure out why everyone consistently called this one restaurant thing a Piece of Shit.

My ex and his roommate worked at a chain location where no one used normal lingo. You were "snowed" or "slammed," for example, not in the weeds. They were really confused when they were sent to another location to help out....

My brother-in-law who worked in the restaurant business for several years used to talk about how the owners of a place where he used to work would put a huge amount of effort, when buying new furniture for the dining area, into finding the perfect "45 minute chairs" - fairly comfortable when you first…

Dead food will also be eaten even if the guest has a bite or two of it because you're in the middle of a double, didn't get a chance to eat because the entire city came in around the time you were supposed to go on break and you got tripled sat along with picking up the entire patio because the "down time" servers…

I was on board with this until you got to Dave and Ted and Dwayne and the conference call and the heartbreaking desire for this one day in the rapidly-diminishing days of my life to be different, to break from the ennui, to be one day where I could cry to the world that I AM A PERSON and I HAVE VALUE.

I assumed in the weeds was derived from the golfing term - basically meaning you're fucked/hard to find a way out.

I guess you never learned about cleavage

Everyone with a problem with this can shut the hell up please, this is WAY more useful knowledge to have than fucking Geology.

It is only necessary to face mecca in the ritual 5 time prayer - not when prostrating in gratitude or thanks

This is the internet. We're not fucking sorry ever.

That couple remains the most enabling, codependent set of people I have ever had the misfortune to see on television. And, I mean, I watch Dance Moms, for crying out loud.
