What's really upsetting about this story is that it's happening at the same time as reproductive rights restrictions. So: Don't have an abortion, don't have access to birth control, but once you have that kid, child care? You're on your own.

I just meant that it's basically a waste of money to go to Five Guys and just get a plain burger, because their prices are higher and I assume it's because the free toppings are taken into consideration. Also, the one I go to is always playing classic rock so that wins me over too.

I mentioned this in another comment on here somewhere but I love a good mushroom burger, so that puts me toward both Five Guys and The Habit. I will agree that if I wanted a burger with just the toppings you get at In N Out then I would go there because it's good and less expensive.

Been there. After I got my illustrious degree and found that the entire country was short on jobs, I was a manager at a well known shoe store. When talking to a woman who hated me from the word go and I have no idea why. I wasn't rude or mean in any way. She was buying shoes for her son, she looked at me and said,…

The shame and immediate regret might be the best part!

Agreed on all accounts! Surprised no one has mentioned the best part of in n out, ANIMAL FRIES! Just typing this I realize I have to get some, like now.

Ditto.

Agreed. In-N-Out has the best burger and the simplest menu. The Habit is good but their pastrami sandwich is better than their burgers. Fivr Guys was underwhelming for me. A double-double with fried coated spread please.

Yeah - this guy reverse engineered their whole cooking process - it's a great read:

I love in n out fries. They taste like potatoes, and you just have to know how to order them. Also, their burgers are way better than habit or 5 guys. The only places in Southern California that can compete with in n out are TK burger and maybe Hodads.

I like In-N-Out fries compared to McDonalds and BK. Not the greatest but for drive-thru places the best I've had.

I'll second - they're *awesome* right-this-second fresh, but get soggy after a few minutes. So anybody that's picking up drive through and eating them at home totally misses out.

Their fries are awesome fresh, but I've always found that if they sit in the bag for a few minutes, they get soggy. Other places including sit down restaurants double fry them (McD's is apparently they blanch the potatoes, fries them once, freeze them, and ship them to the stores where they get fried a second time).

Yes, I've also eaten them "all over France" having lived there and I don't know what you're talking about. YMMV and all of that.

I second this. They make their fries from potatoes right there!

Yer insane. Baja Fresh blows Taco Bell away...the grilled veggies and chicken in the burrito are wonderful.

I should've known when he first moved in, the first few weeks it was nearly impossible to sleep. He was up ALL NIGHT drinking.

Oh wow, I knew there'd come a day to bring out this one. I've had a dirty roommates, pervy roommates, the roommate who discovered heroin one summer, but none of them came close in sheer WTFness to my first ever roommate; my stalker.

My then-boyfriend, now-husband and I had one of my friends move in with us to rent a two bedroom apartment. Immediately after re-signing the lease for another year, she went downhill fast. She spent nearly all of her time at her boyfriend's house, which would have been fine were it not for the cat that she abandoned…
