A child shouldn't be the one who has to file charges against a parent for abuse and neglect. The state does that. The state is correct here to relieve the child of the burden of going against her crazy mother. She is so afraid of defying her that she cannot bring herself to do it even to save her own life - a state…

He's been very Activia.

I want a thermos with "I have an educational blog" printed on it. I feel like that would get me as close as I can get to greatness.

"I have an educational blog" has to be a close second to "I sell monogrammed thermoses," right?

<Cries into a thermos monogrammed K.D.*> That was beautiful.

I'm surprised that a wealthy person would insist their non-working kid make it on $31K per year, to be honest. That's a middle class lifestyle. Of course, if he wanted to improve it he could just get a damned job.

I agree 100%!! I would kill the crap out of anyone who killed my animals.

Killing animals is like the exact opposite of sexy to me.

THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO HUNTERS

"Oh! Well! Looks like you found those bread rolls after all. Wasn't that hard, was it?" I then took a skewer out of one of the pieces of tempura, and plunged it finger deep into her eyeball.

Restaurant/cafe I worked at in college: I'm waiting tables* graduation weekend (the busiest weekend of the year), and one of my tables, who have thus far been fairly reasonable, flag me down.

We need to teach people that it's okay to say you don't like, or don't want to eat, some foods and ask if they can be omitted from your dish. The answer may be no, but at least you can then avoid ordering it. You don't have to concoct an elaborate medical lie to justify it. The waiter is not your mom and dad yelling…

With that last one, I was waiting to see what the customers had mistaken for bread, and I just don't understand how you take a bite of a fried *vegetable* and think, "man this is delicious bread." HOW?!?!?

So I am very unclear...is it or is it not okay to assault the bartenders? May I still grab their butts and make lascivious comments about their junk? Can I insist on back rubs or cunnilingus? I mean, if there is no sign, I have no idea what is acceptable now.

a) she was a complete asshole about it.

Because she was an ass about it. She was rude to the server as were her friends. If she'd been polite then fair enough it would be mean to laugh, but she wasn't.

I used to work at an "Italian" restaurant which I won't name—rhymes with "Shmolive Garden"

Jen still hates me for that.
