Totally agree with your second point. I like clean sheets and I don't want butt juice all over them.

There sure is a lot of judgment going down in this thread. Different people like different things.

Oh, my! I think I'd have been tempted to go over and ask them for directions or something just to see what they'd do. That's so strange. People are weird!

My husband doesn't understand my irrational dislike of that guy, either!

I have a relative who chose IVF and an egg donor because she and her husband worried about the genetic propensity toward certain behaviors that they might encounter if they adopted - the whole nature over nurture debate thing.

Yeah, that's not even her real face. She's had 20 years taken off in photoshop. Here's her real face from last year. Not bad at all so why put up that overly 'shopped mess?

One of the comments on that post you linked said it's common practice for B&N managers to require employees to plan, execute, and provide costumes for these events on their own time and on their own dime. If that's the case here then no wonder she doesn't look thrilled.

Caught my neighbor walking her dog in a spaghetti-strapped, semi see-through, shortie negligee. That was...interesting. Not quite underwear but damned inappropriate all the same.

Oh, wow! I'm related to two narcissists and both were teachers, usually at the college level but both spent time in classrooms of much younger students. Fascinating!

Yes!! No one can ever be sicker than the narcissist. You can never be more tired or more hungry or more broke or more whatever. I learned to never share any of my troubles or needs with my narcissistic mother. I was always "good" or "fine" until I quit speaking to her.

I totally agree that narcissists won't admit any wrongdoing. My narcissistic mother told my brother that she had NEVER made any mistakes as a parent nor had she ever done anything wrong to me. He was trying to explain to her why I cut off contact with her and, of course, he couldn't get her to see reality. Narcissists…

Try being raised by one.

The place I went to was a tourist trap, too. It's in the town I live in and I think it survives by putting out Groupons and roping in unsuspecting tourists who choose its beachfront location. The restaurant lies about the food, too; I ordered what was billed as a lobster roll but very conspicuously contained only that…

Yes, that was my point...

Cata Doxa is a troll. Of course he/she/it would show up in this post.

My guess is it's this guy: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/10/23/206…

He sounds a bit passive and it can't be good to keep all the day-to-day annoyance and anger that comes when two people live together completely internal. My husband and I don't fight much, either but it's certainly more than once every three years. Sometimes a good fight can be very productive.

Second rule of double denim is if you were an adult the first time this was a fad, you pass the second time around. That let's me out, thank goodness.

I hate hate hate it for small parties. The last place I went to that did that used it as a way to run the restaurant without proper staffing. Our server brought us our food and that was the last time we saw her until my husband got up to get her for the check. I had to get the extra napkin I needed out of the paper…

That sounds insanely complicated. We either ask for separate checks beforehand or add a 20% tip onto the total, then divide the total + tip by the number of people in the group so each person pays the same amount. That takes less than 30 seconds.
