I agree, somethings are regional. I'm glad they didn't order it and then get mad at you bc "THIS ISN'T REALLY OKRA!" or some variation thereof.

That server did you a solid.

I understand mispronunciations. Those are usually funny and forgivable. And most servers do what you did, verify their order through additional means without trying to embarrass them too much.

That sounds like someone who doesn't know when to stop. Artichoke leaves are not something you eat by mistake. They are hard and bristly. You eat a whole plate of those, I'm wondering why you wouldn't stop. Bc of the obvious discomfort and pain. I don't know about life anymore.

yes, we learn by asking. But in my case, I explained many times over, showed her the picture on the menu, and even pointed to a nearby customer, and her face was a blank as her mind.

Me either. Bc I always have to concoct a back story to explain these sad things, I imagine she was never invited to birthday parties as a child. Or allowed to have dessert ever.

I'm aware that not everyone has exposure to the same experiences in life (ex. if you had asked me how to pronounce "merlot" at age 16, I prob would have said Merr-Lott) but I am truly sad for actual adults who don't understand chocolate cake, uncut pieces of toast, eggs to order, root beer that is sold a la carte,…

Thought I was the only one who saw it and thought that as well.

I went to the link and read the article. There was a picture toward the bottom. The author and I must have different ideas about "awesome hair". The picture shows a regular guy with... soon to be receding hair. I don't know how else to put it. His hair isn't lush, magnificent or even shiny. I feel like an asshole for…

They paid using a DISCOVER card.

"My mother raised me as a feminist," he says.

Don't come up in here trying to snatch my dreams!

I think when the asshole is a terrible worker, they will eventually get themselves fired. And most assholes are terrible workers bc they are too busy being assholes. Every asshole I have worked with at my current job got fired. Former boss who passed me over for promotion for person whose past experience was…

Right, I've been saying this all morning. How has this been overlooked that he is King James???

Jill Scott will only believe you if there is a rape kit done. Had no idea she was a stickler for empirical evidence.

I read the title and was all "Huh whut?" but I am glad I read the article and was pleasantly surprised at how on point it was. I loved Terry Crews bc he makes me laugh EVERYTIME I see in him on tv/in movies. One time I was watching Chris Rock talk about his father dying and bc Terry Crews played his dad on Everyone…

We all want to be in a romcom with Kerry Washington.
