I wonder if he would try to back track and say it's just really similar or if he'd just go all in and say Dierks Bentley wrote that song about him.

I'm guessing this person and two of their coworkers brought cards and dominos pizza to a tattoo parlor once to watch their friend get inked. Then, through the magic of internet anonymity, that rather bland experience morphed into this pathetic "epic annual event".

Also, the day he decided to quit, the waitress at the bar where he (as a 16 year old) drank booze every day, dropped her tray when she heard him ask for something non alcoholic.

He did not marry the waitress, sadly.

They make great wedding venues. Prices generally range from $2,000 to $4,000 for eight hours, and you can always rent them for 12 if you want to have time for clean up. Also, make sure the place you go with doesn't lock you in to their house tattoo artist, but instead just provides the facilities and lets you hire your own. I've seen that particular piece of advice also save a quinceanera.

About six months ago my wife and I decided to turn our North Georgia summer retreat into our full-time residence.

We decided to make a few changes to the property now that we would be living in it year-round.

As I was getting into my car one morning, three of the workers paused from what they were doing and stared me down.

I stopped and asked if everything was ok and one of the men said, "It's not fair. You have this beautiful home and a nice car while we are stuck doing hard labor for just a little more than minimum wage."

I approached the men and we ended up speaking about building wealth for more than an hour. I shared with them that life wasn't always this good, and at one point I was $50,000 in debt and didn't know how I would climb out of it. The men shook my hand and thanked me for sharing my insights.

Fast forward to this morning and I was again about to get into my car. A man driving a truck down the street stops in front of my house and yells, "Mr. Siebold, I took your advice and started my own company. I have five employees working for me and business is booming. My family and I are experiencing freedom like we never thought possible."

He continued, "Please share your words of wisdom with others."

It's STDH. Librarians never pick a social venue that doesn't serve alcohol. Perhaps the paraprofessionals do quirky hipster things. Degreed librarians drink. A lot.

I'm doing my Masters of IT(LIS) right now and, yeah, librarians who have their actual degrees do a lot of drinking. I was thinking it was just the people I worked with, but it turns out it's every librarian. It helps with being a combined babysitter, council representative, psychologist, technical support officer, events planner, drunk wrangler, etc etc etc.

This is off topic but who in my library is considered a "librarian?" I always see people putting books away, people borrowing out books to people, or people scanning books back in, or people sitting at an administrative/customer rep desk answering questions about how to sign up for the library. Everyone I ask can tell me where the x genre books are and most people can tell me where books by author y can be found.

Not trying to belittle you or your profession but none of that seems like you need any special education to do.

Why is this a socially awkward thing all the time? I worked in a shop for years and occasionally when I told people have a nice day or enjoy your day off they'd say "you too" and we'd both just smile. It constantly shows up in memes or tumblr posts as some insanely embarrassing faux paus like you just shat yourself.

Context is everything. I once bummed a smoke to a homeless guy in my neighborhood, and when he told me to have a nice night I responded with "You too!". It was already cold as balls and was going to get below zero later. I walked away feeling like a complete jackass.

I guess that's awkward but it's almost impossible not to respond "you too" to anything like that. On the other hand you got a smoke off a homeless guy instead of the other way round, that's the dream. The more common context though is between our quirky random protagonist and a server of some kind where they have a total mental collapse over an untimely use of a common politeness.

I suppose, I just felt like a jerk. And I definitely gave him a smoke, not the other way around, I'm not completely terrible.
