I think this guy was right and the restaurant served literally inedible food. This is unacceptable on the part of the restaurant.

France certainly has roundabouts where the rule is to give way to cars that are joining, but they're thankfully reducing those.

Midnight Voyager posted:AAAAAAAAAAGH gently caress this guy. Not just doing the thing like a stubborn rear end, but rubbing it in with a grin, like "Haha, I know I'm ruining your day and I love it! You KNOW you'll take care of me!" Reading that made me think the guy has some sort of suffering fetish.

They will stop in the middle of an intersection while driving straight in order to let you turn left in front of them from the oncoming traffic lane. I despise niceholes, and I'm glad to see people using the term.

Does nicehole apply to people who hold the door to a building open a full 90 degrees while they wait for someone to cross the parking lot to enter and meanwhile freezing cold wind is whipping inside the whole time? And when you say "c'mon man it's freezing out there" they sneer "well I was just trying to be nice" ?

I was one of these people while on holiday in the US! A lorry nearly went into the back of me (in slowish traffic) on some kind of multi-lane road because I stopped to let someone turn left at a break in the central reservation. A normal thing to do in the UK. Overall drivers there (New York state) were much more ruthless/unfriendly than in the UK. I found it difficult to change lanes on the motorway because I'd indicate and people would close the gap instead of letting me in. I'll try to drive more selfishly next time  .

Yeah, he 100% gets off on having a fuss made of him while he lies in bed being ~ill~; that's why he's ramped it up while she's out working and not ~paying attention~ to him. Pity he didn't go for a partner with a matching nursing fetish; they could have had a long, happy, farty, diarrhoeary marriage. I hope she divorces his whiny arse for playing stupid mind games while she's slaving away supporting them both.

Weird how those things always go together. I mean yeah, dead sister had to quit her job to take care of the kid, sounds like uncle is going to have to do the same. Especially with his wife travelling around the country now in her new/old job.

Seems to my simple mind that if you have to regain your sanity by taking a job with long hours and constant travel to get away from your idiot husband and his Autistic niece you may as well go all the way and divorce.

Deliberately making yourself deathly ill sounds broke brained but not necessarily in a fetish sexy times way. It can be comforting to have someone look after you. It makes you feel loved and cared for. If your parents were very busy it's possible that it felt like the only time someone cared for you was when you were sick. Your mom would bring you soup and put a cool compress on your head. So it's not about boners, it's about comfort and human connection. She is working herself to the bone 13 out of every 14 days, and on the 14th day she sensibly wants to rest and recharge. He's out of work and home alone, bored and lonely all day every day. She's gone or asleep all the time. No one is caring for him. He isn't getting his needs met. When he makes himself sick, she proves that she still cares for him. So he does it again. And again. Gleefully ruining her day off, not because he loves cheese that much, but because he loves forcing her to drop everything and take care of him. He looks forward to it for 13 long days. Dude needs therapy. Lady needs a divorce.

I remember when I visited France I figured out that the traffic rules were "if you thought you could get away with it and made a mistake, they'll stop for you. If you just go out expecting them to stop they'll run you over to teach you not to do it again." Yes, I was one of those dumb tourists crossing the Champs-Elysees far too slowly because I thought of it as sightseeing rather than crossing a very busy street. We flew across the second half of that road once we noticed the light had changed.

excellent two-parter from askamanager I accidentally threw condoms all over my interviewer’s desk quote:This week I finally landed my very first Big Post-Pandemic Interview! I studied hard, prepared extensively, and dug my circa-2019 interview clothes out of storage, along with my fancy business satchel and leather binder (the interview required me to bring a portfolio of prior work). I was ready to impress! Update: quote:I’m so thrilled to already have an update for you about the infamous Condom Throwing Incident.

ArbitraryC posted:There was a commute to work I had for a couple years where it started as a 70 mph freeway, dropped to 60 for a dense set of exits, then transitioned into a highway on the way out of town. I tend to go up to 5mph over the speed limit as for most roads in town that's basically the average flow of traffic, so basically every morning I'd be cruising along, passing a couple cars doing closer to 70, getting passed by cars doing closer to 80, but mostly just staying within a pack of commuters. Then we'd hit the 60 zone and basically no one would change their speed so I was always left with the awkward choice of now being a rolling blockade going about 10 mph under the flow of traffic by going 65, or just joining the average that was now closer to 15 over the speed limit as posted. I hated it. Arsenic Lupin posted:I am an extremely nervous driver, and I would never claim to be a good one. On the other hand, there's a roundabout near our tourist town, and everybody uses it correctly, including (apparently) the tourists. It's a miracle. And how DID you two like driving in the Boston area. (I know that there's other places that are bad like this, but especially rotary talk screams Boston/Southeastern MA) Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for customising my burger This reminds me heavily of my favorite Onion article, Frustrated Dad At Restaurant Just Wants A Normal Burger Not calling it fake, I just find that article the perfect summation of that mindset.
