I've also been known to ask for a menu at the hostess/host stand before being seated.

"Elders" be damned, bullies are bullies wherever they go, and it's usually because no one ever calls them on it. I once told my grandmother, who was a 24 carat gold-plated 4-alarm bitch on wheels that old people who were jerks and who yelled "WHY?!? AM I EMBARRASSING YOU?!?" were the first to be put in a home.

She's probably such a control freak she wouldn't let someone do it.

I live in DC and I had to go to Georgetown to get my computer fixed at the Apple Store. I fucking HATE going to Georgetown. They told me it would take 45 minutes to fix my computer so I decided to go to Starbucks across the street and find a place to sit down outside and read while I waited. Starbucks was POPPIN' OFF…

I called my aunt out for being an awful dick to our (really great and patient) server during a big family dinner at a steakhouse a few years ago. She responded with the same thing "WHY?!? AM I EMBARRASSING YOU?!?" I responded with "NO, YOU'RE EMBARRASSING YOURSELF AND YOU'RE BEING AN ASSHOLE." She didn't talk to me…

In Canada, it does. Always. I discovered that was not universal when I asked in Raleigh (biz trip) for the server to hold the bacon on my salad. They were confuse. I was confuse. We have a lovely little chat about how those cultural differences sneak up on ya. Happy ending. No server was abused in any way.

I don't get treating those in the service industry like shit.

You are the FIRST person to EVER get my name. Love you.

Friend of mine and a few other Black friends were students at a certain Ivy League university in Providence. They would get a cab and go to Federal Hill to a particular Italian restaurant every few weeks. Had done this for almost a year. So imagine their surprise when they went to the restaurant for about the sixth…

I think both situations are entirely plausible.

I'd say it's far more likely that the woman was in such a rage lather that she didn't want to admit she was wrong. One thing I've learned in life is to never blame malice when stupidity is just as good of an explanation.

I've worked for over a decade (since I was 16) in the entire gauntlet of food service- from Midtown Manhattan 5 stars to suburban Denver chains to small family owned hole in the walls owned by crazy Romanians. I'm still serving and hosting in a fancy ski resort steak house and nothing makes me hate my life a little…

All of us Deadspin lurkers were impressed, I can tell you that much.

basically he finds her too unattractive to even be a slumpbuster and wants to sleep with her friends... she's doing the standard female response of "I turned him down first. I didn't want him"

I actually admire him for not knowing... it means he probably does have a social life. Quick reminder - Kinja and Deadspin do not fall in the social life category.

In terms of blogs or other websites, I dunno if it's the ONLY place, but they sure like to wear out slangs around here.

Do places besides Gawker use 'thirsty'? This is literally the only place that I see use it but it seems like a mandate that every GM site has to jam 'thirsty' into every story. You people are trying too hard; it's annoying. You're killing it, just like you're killing 'throwing shade'. Fuck outta here with this shit.

"I thought it was super weird that Foles kept asking for my little sister's number in the huddle..."

Have fun grimacing and rubbing your temples for the next 15 minutes.

Serious quesiton here: Why cancel the game? Does CUP have only 15 guys on the roster that they can't field a team?
This also fucks over Gannon, whose players, fans and alumni did nothing wrong. My takeaway is that Cal recruits sociopaths and is too chickenshit to play a game without said sociopaths.
