Once, an 8-top of Christians left one of those “Here’s a Tip for You!” pamphlets on my table, in lieu of a cash tip. I was sort of used to this, so I didn’t remark much, just tossed it into the bus tub with the rest of the debris, and a glower.

The Eddie Vedder story makes me kind of sad because of how indicting it is on the server. She’s so super-enthused at how awesome it is that he’s famous, that... well... at least she feels some shame for being a bad server when he didn’t look famous.

I’m a little late but here goes. I worked in a Gay Dennys in Arizona and soon after gay marriage became legal, I had the most adorable elderly couple of men, one white, one black. They were seated at the counter and had on these beautiful leis. I asked if I could feel the real flowers and asked what the occasion was.…

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.

The feels...

This is the first time Behind Closed Ovens has made me almost weep with ‘my God, they’re not all assholes” joy.

Also I just saw that you are a straight man, so you probably don’t share my crush on Grant. Ha.

AAAHHH YES. I did see him at The Bell House! I am a ridiculous fan and I CANNOT EVEN. I am very excited b/c none of my friends are that into it and they DON’T GET IT. I had actual meet and greet access, but I got stuck at work. It remains the worst, although I probably would have been a blushing idiot. I think Scott…

Auuauaugh, I also missed an opportunity to see FR, probably the same opportunity considering your venues put you in NYC. I really regret not getting that opportunity; I’m reasonably sure I just barely missed the window to get the VIP tickets that would get you a meet and greet with them. I sat on their website for a…

REM in 2004. It was their tour for their “best of” album. They were taking requests on their website. My husband told them how we listened to Automatic while we were dating and we used to swim at night together...Nightswimming, you know. Anyway, during the show a piano is wheeled out and Michael Stipe says that this…

More like Grey’s of Thrones, amirite?!

Don’t be shitty.

Ouch. But didn’t you also have to basically learn how to have sex? How long was it before you were able to enjoy intercourse?

Just had to sneak the gratuitous “I’m a doctor” at the end.

None. I got my period the morning of the wedding and I have menorrhagia (thankfully just in amount and not length, my period just wants to happen all at once). I was also recovering from a health issue that made it difficult to fly, so our honeymoon was just us driving back to our home state with my mother.

So on our…

Is it creepy that I came here just to read the fucking comments?

Oh no! I hope she remembered to get the D first!

Just because nobody else went there

One time I ordered a 4-piece McNuggets and was given a 4-piece McNugget box filled to the brim with tartar sauce.
