I would just like to point out that this restaurant serves one of its meals on a shovel. Like the kind you'd use on a farm to shovel shit. Outside of that the food is quite good, my husband and I go there after we go to the shooting range nearby. I swear we aren't white trash.

A few years ago my sister treated me to really expensive tickets to a fancy sit-down show where the dress code was cocktail or better. This was high-class shit. The couple sitting next to me talked (quietly, but audibly) through every song, like they were listening to the radio instead of enjoying a rare opportunity…

My favourite were two guys standing behind me at a gig where I was seated, they were leaning over the back of the row and talking really loudly so I said “hey would you mind being quieter during the songs” and after I turned back to watch the guy who was loud turned to his friend and said “is she serious?” so I turned…

I lol’ed at her proclamation that her group of 20 spent $500, as if that is a significant amount of money for a group that large at ANY sit-down restaurant.

I used to think my apartment in Vancouver was haunted because I kept hearing disembodied singing in my kitchen. Finally I realized that an elderly Greek lady was living right above me and liked to sing old Greek folk songs while she cooked.

You just made me realize that that’s pretty much why I don’t go to shows or movies much anymore. Paying tons of money for a ticket and going through all the hassle of finding parking, getting situated, spending the night out, all that, only to sit near a Whiny McEntitlePants to ruin my experience isn’t much fun.…

Tech support is probably also one of the few jobs where you get requests for things that aren’t actually possible or exist, more so than restaurants.

Don’t forget the people who just have to constantly check their phones during shows/movies. Thanks for shining that bright blue light at everyone sitting next to and behind you. That’s not distracting at all!

“seriously, people, shift your noise level to the general noise level of the restaurant itself, this isn’t difficult” ~~~ This should be like keeping up with traffic when you’re driving. You adjust to the flow of the people (or cars) around you.

“incociderate” tho

These assholes remind me of the blight called Pedal pubs. http://pedalpub.com

By responding, the owner is letting the yelp-reading public know that the restaurant considers the comfort and enjoyment of all of their patrons to be a priority, and that obnoxious behavior is not welcome. If I lived nearby, this reply by the owner would make me want to go to the restaurant - reading only Joyce’s…

Where else are she and her friends supposed to reenact PITCH PERFECT 2?

I have thought that was weird too.

I have encountered exactly one time in life that a random person singing in public was a good thing. A little tiny Italien lady at my local farm market/deli sings Frank (Sinatra) and company tunes as she cashiers - pretty quietly and totally not irritating. Every other time I’ve encountered it, my ears feel like they…

I don’t think being acknowledged = being put on a pedestal.

Meanwhile Marvel head honcho Tom Breevort said earlier this year the industry isn’t ready for a gay lead title.

Because heterosexual superheroes have already been on that pedestal for decades.

I don’t know about “on a pedestal”, but some people do like seeing their own demographic represented in their preferred media. Up until the 90’s lgbt characters proved very rare in mainstream comics, and some publishers even forbade their inclusion. We’ve seen so much progress since, but still, the inclusion of lgbt…

Because people like to see people like themselves represented in the media they consume.
