My dad uses Yahoo and got very indignant when I laughed at him about it.

This was about 250% less cringey than I thought it would be?

Hope that you feel better soon. I’ve been having gallstone attacks for the past 9ish years, and I know it sucks.

Oh my gosh, people switching entrees. I was a waitress at a birthday banquet this summer, and FOUR people decided on a whim to change their entree orders to vegetarian after seeing the one vegetarian entree that was specified in the order. The kitchen had to scramble to get them together, food was late, the head chef…

Yes, but does it reduce damage from plant monsters by 10%?

The song’s a medley of various anime/game/etc. songs, pretty famous on Nico Nico Douga. I think this one’s Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga, but I could be mistaken. There’s a whole bunch of them.

There is so much wrong with what you’ve just said.

Now that’s some dedication.

Not a dog, but my parents’ loveably fat cat Tenchi.

Yes, it’s obviously an exaggeration to say that anything preceding a “but” in a sentence is a lie.

While it seems like the thing to do, it breaks down quickly if you continue the process over more than a few generations. The last names just keep piling up!

I love the canines and the white patches on her feet. She looks a lot like a very friendly cat who lives in my neighborhood and tried to get into my car (!) a week ago.

I played this for the two snoozing cats in the living room; they seem unfazed. But yeah, what a sound! It’s not one I think I’ve heard before. I hope kitty’s alright. Certainly seemed to be enjoying the ice cream though.

It’s pretty great! My family moved to Orcas when I was ten, and it certainly made for an interesting childhood/young adulthood. I’m a bit sad that this will probably be my last summer on the island for quite a while - going off to grad school in the fall.

This particular experience sticks out in my head. It was just so mystifying.

Oof. Feces/vomit/urine/other bodily materials are always some of the worst.

At least in my experience, it’s pretty fast and loose in regards to tip amount. There might be some guidelines out there somewhere, but in general, I’m happy to even get a tip (although the handful-of-loose-change tips can be somewhat aggravating.) A lot of people just don’t tip, even at the small and expensive inn I…

Oh my gosh! I’ve certainly seen my share of sex toys (left on bedside tables usually) but I’ve never had anyone leave it actually IN the bed. Thankfully. So grateful for gloves and other protective wear.

Reading these, I wish there was a BCO-type thing for housekeeping/hospitality stories. I’ve worked for ten+ years as a housekeeper, and you see some weird shit when you’re a housekeeper for that long.
