I've worked in restaurants for over a decade (and not fancy-schmancy ones, either), and I've never worked in one where a server ignoring an allergy claim WOULDN'T be fired. If it happens to you, tell the manager (hell, make a call to corporate, if applicable). Any manager worth his/her salt knows keeping an employee…

Ha! Those pictures did make me laugh, though.

Haha, I get that a lot. One of the reasons I can't bring myself to change it. (That, and C&H is awesome!)

GAAAAWD! You ruin EVERYTHING! *stomps off*

"Using phone is not rude. Using it rudely is rude." Well said! I'll remember that.

Yisss! We didn't have nearly as fun of a selection as you did, but that was always how I got my Archie comics.

CRAP. I've always specifically refrained from being on my phone while in a check-out line, mostly because I used to work retail and I think it can often be rude. And I'm a fucking check-out lane impulse buyer for sure — "Hair bands? I can always use more of those." "MOAR GUM PLEASE" ... crappity crap. Guess I shot…

Yes! I agree wholeheartedly. I get that (outside of certain groups of people, i.e. soldiers and prisoners) women make up the majority of victims — and I would never support the "why should we care about female victims, no one cares about the male ones" mentality — but from my viewpoint, even ONE rape victim being…

Agreed. Painting depression — or any mental illness, for that matter — as solely belonging to one gender is incredibly bad. I get especially pissed off about the whole "eating disorders are only for women" bullshit — when I was younger my main friend group was mostly guys (we were the 'gamer nerds'), and I've had more…

Haha, I remember this one! This was around the time when I first started watching SNL (my parents wouldn't let me watch it, so I spent every Saturday at my BFF's house and watched it with her and her parents!), and I remember loving this sketch because it wasn't one of the ones that went over my head.

Bleh, I'm having problems embedding, here's the link to the video if you're interested:

Oh man, you just made me go on a Hartman quest on YouTube. I've never seen his audition tape before — german-impression-of-John-Wayne is wonderful!

That's a Disney movie I would want me to see if it existed! :)

His name was Shang, and I loved that character because of that song AND the fact that he's voiced by the wonderful BD Wong! I have SUCH a fancrush on him. Here's Wong singing one of my favorite Tori songs, from OZ.

Well, not *me*, per se. I get the good shit, and even high as a kite I think that show is just meeeeh. :) I just couldn't resist making ye olde potheads-watch-bad-comedies joke.

They also grow the ability to enjoy "Workaholics", I hear. :)

Agreed! This is an outrage!

But seriously, there's like three kinds of commenters. What's so confusing? There are normal commenters, trolls, and assholes. Ladyology is a normal commenter. I'm trolling. And then there's the third one.

Don't listen to this idiot; your post had nothing to do with humble-bragging, and it started a great and interesting thread. Some people just have to be assholes.

What an awesome post to wake up to! You should seriously be writing a book, or a blog, or being a motivational speaker, or leading the country. :) Your comments are definitely getting copied/pasted into my secret little 'Folder of Things That Make Me Remember How Awesome Life Is". I hope you don't mind.
