One time when I was outside of a Cheesecake Factory smoking a cigarette a man propositioned me thinking I was a hooker.

I had a table once whisper loudly to their children, "if you don't go to college, you'll end up waiting tables like her..." while I was prebussing their table.

"Your job is to serve us and do what we say. You're not supposed to talk back."

It's not free if you give it to me.

Yesterday, at lunch, I found out that the University of Michigan has a football player named Jake Butt. And we googled him. And he’s a tight end. This discovery was probably one of the top ten moments of my life.
