    You guys also get Waffle House. Don't forget that one.

    Ugh I've been getting it wrong this whole time!

    Never heard of O'Charley's. The Midwest has a Cracker Barrel. It's called Cracker Barrel.

    I work in a jewelry store, and we get customers like this all the time. They want our GIA to "look at their stuff and tell them how much it's worth." and they get pissed if you tell them that that requires an appraisal, and there's a fee. A) You can't just look at something and figure out what it's worth, usually.

    I know a guy in this chapter that I went to high school with and I'm trying to think of the perfect sarcastic comment to put on his facebook wall.

    I have seen some people get offended when asked for sources, which I don't understand. I don't think that's an unreasonable request.

    I agree with it- but there's a limit. Some people are hardheaded and aren't there to be educated; they're there to be a nuisance. Some people are just going to be lost causes regardless of how well you argue, how many sources you show them, how much work you put into proving your point. You might be a more patient

    I kind of figured it out on my own. I feel like there's just enough information out there that you pick up from TV, school, your friends that sometimes kids put it together on their own. My parents never wasted any time telling me that stork crap, though. They said "sperm fertilizes an egg." There.

    I think I've had some of my bras for 4 years, at least! They fit fine? What? I haven't noticed any problems. AM I DOING THIS WRONG

    oh my god my parents would laugh so hard if I asked them for $800 for rent. Especially if my reason was "So I can live in DC. And work but not make any money."

    Ah, I should've figured it'd been thought of already.

    Yep, I'm poli sci & political economy. I only applied to ones that were paid, and of course those are the most competitive and hardest to get. I just can never understand people where money isn't an issue. My brain is just always "but, what are you gonna do for money?!" I'm trying not to sweat it, I'm hoping in

    It's the biggest racket. "Hey, let's replace all our minimum wage entry-level positions with free labor. Brilliant. We'll disguise the ridiculousness of it by saying we're paying in experience, because money and experience are totally mutually exclusive."

    Right? Oh, I should spend a summer working for free? Yes, let me see how many textbooks I can buy next semester with my "experience."

    This this this this this this.

    Amen! There were so many internships in DC I didn't apply for because I live near Chicago and I can't just relocate myself and work for free! That's ludicrous! Positions end up going to richer, upper-class people who already HAVE connections to get a job after they graduate college because they're the ones that

    Yeah, illegal immigrants "stealing" jobs? WHAT ABOUT ALL THE DUTIES BEING FULFILLED THROUGH UNPAID LABOR?! Hello!

    Yes, let's see how many textbooks my paycheck of "opportunity" will buy me. Oh that's right. None. "Hello, Discover, I'd like to pay my bill with my unique-resume-building-work-experience. Oh, you don't accept that?" What about people like me who can't afford to take time at job that's unpaid? We just get

    I feel unpaid internships are such a scam. I've seen so many postings on internship job boards that when you actually read the job description, it sounds basically like they want an unpaid sales associate. It also seems like it gives the advantage to higher income people who can afford transportation costs and also

    A very racist speaker was coming to speak on my college campus, and I posted an article about him with the caption that I didn't approve of my school allowing him to come. One of my facebook followers commented on it about how he didn't see anything in the article as racist and didn't think the source was unbiased
