I know that asking patrons if there was something wrong with their service in reference to a tip is usually a no-no (and at some restaurants is considered a fire-able offense), but I am a patron who has been asked this and I was SO GLAD that the server said something. I had been dining with a group and for whatever…

Fair.

Thank you for sticking up for those poor, unfortunate souls in post-production who were unfairly maligned by my hyperbole.

I want to have a quick chat with literally every person who had anything to do with this movie, from writing to post-production just to see if each one of them is actually brain dead.

As an adult, former prep-school kid, I accept your ringing endorsement. ;)

What I'm saying is, I guess I'm not comfortable calling someone who bullied at 15 and 16 an 'evil little shit'. I also won't go so far as to say it's "normal behavior" by any stretch, but it could have been an indicator of other issues that were personal to him at the time.

I agree wholeheartedly and just think we should focus on the actual shitty stuff (like you said).

My husband and I went out to Red Lobster the other night because I was having a major shrimp craving and our options are few and far between in the Midwest. Our server was a blast, was clearly on top of all of his tables, was affable, apologetic when something took a while, and was generally just really good at his…

Thanks for the tip! Luckily we are both up-to-date with MMR and Tdap due to a recent trip overseas, but it's definitely something that a lot of first time parents are surprised they have to do.

As a recovering Floridian and a Democrat, I was never going to vote for Jeb anyway, but this story doesn't necessarily speak to his "true" character, as far as I'm concerned. If people judged me now by the way I behaved when I was 15 or 16, my life would be very different.

A couple reasons:

First world bullshit is EXACTLY what this is. It is people who think of themselves, but not others and people who think that today is the only day that matters or has ever mattered. None of these people are forward-thinking (how could my child not being vaccinated impact the future?) or rear-thinking (how did the lack…

Yeah I've definitely been in that position. It's hard to "bring down the evening," but it's even worse and way weirder to say something emphatically and then try to walk it back and appease others.

Yeah, once you get caught in a situation where you've offended people in a conversation, the only thing to do is to double down. There's no walking it back, especially when it's something you feel strongly about.

I am currently excepting my first child and will soon go through the process of finding a pediatrician. My husband and I were discussing what we were looking for in a doctor for our child and pretty much the only question we could think of to ask a potential provider is, "If a parent came to you and said that s/he was…

This face, for whatever reason, reminds me of a heavily-made-up Juliana Marguiles.

You are correct. My only real association with Megyn Kelly was when she apologized to children and let them know that, of course, both Jesus and Santa are white.

Someone broke Megyn Kelly and I'm loving every. fucking. second.

Agree. To me, that doesn't sound like an incentive for the waitress to "waitress better." It sounds like an incentive to treat me like the shitty customer that I am.

Of course. And that's why it's a problem. If girls could comfortably drink in common areas that are often policed by house mothers, maybe they wouldn't feel the need to get shitfaced in secret in their rooms.
