True, but it's been a long time since I've been at a restaurant with him, and I mostly try to forget how awful he was because it's traumatizing, since I've worked briefly in catering. Maybe, when I have the chance, I'll try to search my brain for a few memories of what eating with him in a restaurant is like. It's…

I'm still waiting for my uncle Joe to show up in one of these stories. Someone has to have a story about him. I can't imagine him going through life, treating wait staff the way he does, and not have him show up here. We're talking at least as bad as cheeseburger om letter guy. At least.

Wait a moment. You said you don't understand why a waiter would, "hate on cheap people who don't tip." Really? Generally, wait staff don't get paid even minimum wage. They rely on tips to help pay their bills, because they wouldn't be able to survive on $2.50 an hour. They have every single right to be angry at…

Yes, Fox "news" idiot. Let's go back to the olden days, when people with mental illness were believed to be possessed by demons and were locked away at best, and cruelly tortured and murdered for being minions of the devil at worst. Ah, yes, those golden, olden days...

This makes me think of the Sony hack and, oddly enough, an episode of SeaQuest. In that episode, they traveled to a future where the world had almost completely been destroyed by people playing online games in which they fought with real life robots.

My mom had a few kids in her preschool class who had famous parents. One of those parents was Bobby McFerrin (of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" fame.) Every year, the school had a school circus performance, with all the kids playing circus animals and clown and such. Mr. McFerrin was there, and I was helping sell popcorn.…

Yup! They'll make just about anything these days. All you have to do is wish, then look it up on the internet. ;)

Your question is a little unclear. I'll do my best to respond, but I don't really know what specifically you are looking for. I hope this makes some sense.

so, from my experience working with traumatized and abused kids, I'd say about 80% of the time, there's some sort of substance addiction issue involved.

This makes me sad, and I'll explain why. For a very short time, I had a relationship with this guy who was really buff, like pro-wrestler buff. Now, I hardly have what would be called a perfect body, but I swear, I was was aaaaaaaand more secure with my body than he was with his.

I guess guys like that just have no clue what can potentially happen to their food before it gets to the table. Maybe he should read BCO.

So, this may be the first time I may disagree with a post here. I'm not a coffee person, so forgive me if I'm off base here, but it seems like the server was being a bit oblivious on purpose. I mean, "coffee latte" is pretty likely a "café latte." It could be the customer had an accent that made it sound like she…

Thank goodness for guys like that. I'm glad he was there to help you. It sounds like you were already going through a lot and didn't need yet another traumatizing experience.

This reminds me of the scene in the Mr. Bean movie when he sneezes on "Whistler's Mother," cleans it with turpentine, essentially destroying the painting, and the drew a smiley face on it to hide his mistake.

I could understand his frustration if you had starfish hair like Nori the dwarf from The Hobbit. I could understand if you had a crazy mohawk, even. But your hair is hardly anywhere near that bad.

Nightmare Phone Girl sounds like a great psych case study. I'm thinking, from the sound of this story, she may have anxiety issues. She has a fixation issue as well, which can be a symptom of several mental health issues, like OCD, Autism, and several others. Without more information, it's hard to say. The only…

I can't believe these look worse than the bridesmaid dresses at My Day wedding dress shop. I swear, the dresses at that store look like something a 6 year old with an obsession with Disney Princesses designed, then threw every color of the rainbow at, plus glitter and a bedazzler. I seriously saw turquoise dresses…

There are a lot of studies that show that people are more likely to find others who look similar to them more attractive. It's not a surprising statistic. The important thing is how many people act on that attraction.

Laws about age of consent vary by state, but usually function similarly to this: Age of consent is usually 16, but only if the partner is under 21. If the partner is over 21, it's statutory rape. After the age of 18, age of partner is no longer important.

Exactly. Thank you for adding that.
