I am actually curious why it is that way. Is it because they had a small and discontinued it or is it some mental thing? I guess this is pointed more at McDonald's than anything else. Pretty sure their sizes are M/L/XL (or supersize). Why not just call them S/M/L? Is it because people believe that bigger = better and will tend to order the even "larger" size?

Kugyou no Tenshi posted:That reminds me - is Joe's Crab Shack still doing the song and dance routine every so often? I haven't been in years, but I remember being pissed that our server (a then-buddy of mine) had been told by his manager that he had to drop everything - including actually putting food on our table - to go do a little dance. He even offered to bring the manager over so we could bitch about it because he was loving tired of it too. They were still doing it as of a couple years ago. To make it worse they used to have little jukeboxes on the table and if the "song of the day" got played by a customer, they had to do the dance. It's ridiculous.

Maybe I'm the crazy one but I'd definitely rather go to a fast food place to use the bathroom than a gas stations on a road trip. And yeah, while I'm there I might buy an ice cream or something. It might not be McDonalds unless I specifically wanted a McFlurry or whatever but it's not that crazy for any fast food place to recognize this and take advantage of it.

22 Eargesplitten posted:At my office, the administrative assistant makes sure there is coffee in the morning, runs the dishwasher, empties out the coffee at end of day, and checks on it once in a while. I have never seen the coffee empty, except in the morning when we go through it as fast as we can brew it. Sorry about your lovely office. That's nice when you have a dedicated person to make your coffee for you but when you have an office full of people not sure whose responsibility it is (it's the person who empties the pot), you end up with a bunch of passive aggressive notes like the person above stated. Or you just buy a Keurig instead of paying someone to clean up after you and change your diapers.

mind the walrus posted:Oh man, there goes my only incentive to even think about Prime. Amazon has reliable shipping and can be quicker than one would expect, but a guaranteed 2 day shipping time can be very useful. It's not that they're not guaranteeing two day shipping, it's that they're no longer guaranteeing it from when you order it, but from when it's actually processed and shipped, which for me is usually same day anyway. Maybe it has to do with proximity to their warehouses. That said, I've not had any issues with it and I love having Amazon Prime to watch shows/movies. Also, we have 3 people that share the prime account to our individual amazon accounts so it's well worth it. There's also a few times I've bought things and been able to utilize the same-day shipping. I broke my iron the other day and bought one when I got to work and it was at my door before I got home.

I think the limit is 3, maybe 4 people though. So from a cost perspective that makes it a lot cheaper.

ToxicSlurpee posted:"Three packs a day" has never, ever been hyperbole. Even now some people still smoke like chimneys. If this were a year ago I'd call BS on this, but there's a guy I work with now that seemingly goes on a smoke break every 20 minutes or so. It's gotten to the point that his manager told him to either quit it with so many smoke breaks or they'd count toward the time he gets for lunch. He opted to not have a lunch hour so he didn't have to sacrifice is smoke breaks.

"forced" is a little disingenuous. The plane was experiencing turbulence and she couldn't stay standing in line for the bathroom and they told her to sit down. She makes a remark about having to pee in a cup - and then she does. Who actually does that? Hell yeah if I was a flight attendant I'd be pissed. "oh guys I really gotta take a poo poo but I can't get up so I'm just gonna dump in the vomit bag" United is garbage but I gotta side with them on this one. Or at least say that the lady is dumb as hell for peeing in cups on a plane, especially during turbulence. I'm sure there was piss everywhere.

Well no poo poo they let her get up because she was holding cups of piss. Should the flight attendant taken them away for her? There's also nothing in the story about how long the turbulence lasted or when she was made to get up to throw her pisscup away. It was likely after the turbulence or after other passengers complained because, holy poo poo that lady is pissing in cups on a plane. But yeah, let her go into the bathroom when the pilot has said there's turbulence, and when that turbulence hits she can fall over and crack her head open. That probably would have gone over better than this story, you're right. It sucks that she has an overactive bladder but the rules of sitting during turbulence are there for her safety. It was her dumbass idea to piss in cups, not the flight attendants. Joey Freshwater has a new favorite as of 23:34 on May 9, 2017 |

Pastry of the Year posted:One year at summer camp, I was bound and loving determined to Get Good at archery. I never did — turns out I had undiagnosed vision problems! oh well — but I showed up to the range during every last scrap of my free time to put in practice. At the end of camp, I got an award not for being good, but for that sheer persistence, and at the time, that felt pretty great. During Elementary and Middle school I had perfect attendance because I apparently never got sick or had reason for being out of school. I always felt like a loving moron standing up on the stage with the other kids getting awards for straight A's or whatever and here I am with my dumb ribbon just for showing up every day. Which I had zero responsibility for.

The whole Madelene McCann thing has gone on for so long it's become a personal thing for a whole lot of people so they get overly offended about it. Whatever that business is clearly didn't do it intentionally, or even if they did, people shouldn't get up in arms about it. But again, people get offended over everything.

walrusman posted:And thanks to a massive effort to increase their profile as a tourist destination, Iceland is among the cheapest places on earth to fly to. Round-trip flights from the west coast go on sale for <$300 all the time, and those people live on the east coast, which routinely sees <$200 fares. I've also seen lots of promos where you can fly, say, from Seattle to Paris for $400 on IcelandAir with up to four days' layover in Reykjavik for free. They really, really want you to visit. I went to Reykjavik last year and didn't see this as far as pricing either way. A direct flight from Chicago was ~$700 and with a layover in NY it was ~$900. Pricing there wasn't that bad either. I paid under $200 per night for a hotel and we went to some really nice restaurants and ordered a bunch of food/drinks and it was right around $100pp and we were splurging.

It gets “better” when you start reading the replies. There’s someone in the comments that claims to be one of the people that created the campaign. Their argument is that these are all things that these athletes said out of a list of things describing themselves, so it’s okay. Completely missing the point that that’s probably worse because whoever made the graphics intentionally picked “this is my career” for the white people and “lol I’m black” for the black people out of a list of other, more appropriate stuff.
