When it's Friday afternoon and you can finally crack open a hard earned cold one, that's a special feeling, I don't know why you'd want to diminish that by sucking down one or two beers a day all week long. Plus who wants to go back to work after they've been in chill mode drinking a beer anyways?

I had a chronically late friend and it was just another manifestation of his short man syndrome. When people would call him out for it he would just smirk and say "sorry bout 'cha".mind the walrus posted:Passive-aggressive moaning and then ditching her is some real "Middle School/I'm a Sigma Male" horseshit. It ain't gonna solve her tendency to be late. All it's going to do is make it "him vs her" instead of "us vs the problem." Actually it's a case of "when someone shows you who they are, believe them." Same as being lovely to service workers.

Re: Ron Swanson, it's always been kind of weird to me how people unabashedly latch onto these obvious, goofy fads, but it happens and I try not to get too haughty about it. It's the people who are still chugging along years after everyone else has moved on that really break my brain though.

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" ?

They just have to stick to it in the house though, the kid can go eat popcorn shrimp and McRibs all he wants he just can't do it in the house. They're teenagers living with their parents anyways, sometimes your parents set rules and you think they're bullshit, but that's how it goes. All in all this doesn't seem like it's asking too much. Plus the kid's probably just being a little poo poo about it because sometimes teenagers are little shits. There's nothing in the story indicating he's some budding culinarian who's been itching to sous vide some Berkshire hog and now that's been taken away from him.

The whole "Thai Spicy" thing drives me crazy. Not every Thai dish is meant to be spicy or "Thai spicy", and not every Thai person likes spicy food, but now most places I go insist on getting 1-5 from me and don't really understand when I say I just want it how it's supposed to taste. Insisting the cook throw in an extra handful of chili flakes so I can satisfy my own ego isn't why I go get Thai food. I want the mild dishes mild, the spicy dishes spicy, the extremely spicy ones extremely spicy, etc.

If a coworker did that to me I would definitely think it was weird, but I certainly wouldn't throw a crying fit over it and try to have them banned from the premises. They're the ones who have to live with this dumb thing on their body, not me. And just for the record I'm taking her characterization of the size of the tattoo with a big grain of salt.

Did that lady mention anywhere that weekend mornings are the only time they had for family meals together? Some people might have special memories of Saturday breakfast with mom and dad but not every family is the same. It sounds like the parents are giving them the option of doing their own thing, if they want to. The kids know if they want breakfast served hot they can get up early, and if they want to sleep in they can have leftovers. They're old enough to set the alarms on their cell phones and to learn that life is full of little compromises like this.

Honestly the "I'm not like other white people" thing does exist (and I'll fully admit to being guilty of it) and generally it's well meaning and comes from a place of respect, but it's pretty easy to overdo it. The whole post the guy's laying it on pret-ty thick, ordering two of the weirdest things on the menu and pretending like it never even crossed his mind that he might be showing off a tiny bit and going on and on about how the waitress and the chefs and no one in the whole place could even believe he would eat this stuff. But then again it also sounds like his girlfriend was kind of asking for it, and sometimes you get what you ask for.

I agree that it's a pretty small annoyance, but if someone committed some small annoyance towards me over and over and over again and it didn't seem to bother them that they were constantly annoying me, that's when it would move past the point where I could easily brush it off. First time, okay you didn't know. Second time, now you're getting the hint that it's annoying. Third fourth or fifth time when you've shown you're unwilling to make some minor adjustment in your life in order to stop bothering others is what puts you in the rear end in a top hat category. It's not the act itself that makes you the rear end in a top hat, it's the fact that you don't see any reason to change.

In my experience in the restaurant industry, when a table orders an appetizer and entree at the same time but wants their appetizer first, lazy servers will put both in at the same time and put a note on the ticket like "appetizers first". The cooks generally ignore this, because their job is to make the food and get it out as efficiently as possible, which means first-in first-out. It's unfair to ask them to skip around in the queue and try to correctly time the courses for a table, that's the server job. Or sometimes the appetizer is ready first but by the time someone gets around to taking it to the table, everything else is ready too, and once the food is ready, it's got to be taken to the table both because that's when it's at it's best, and because you can't have one table's food sitting there blocking every other table's food from coming out. If you're the customer and it's that important to you, you just have to order your appetizers first, or there's a good chance you'll wind up in the OP's position where you don't really have any good options.

bell jar posted:When I was a waiter our system let you put the whole order in at once but only send the entrees (appies) to the kitchen. When you'd noticed that the table was nearly finished with them, you'd put in the request for the mains (entrees) and they'd usually be ready by the time you'd finished clearing the table of the first round of dishes, etc. This was over ten years ago, so you'd think that things have only gotten better since then. Yeah that's still around, but you have to actually use it (correctly) in order for it to be effective, and not everybody does. Edit: Motronic posted:It's 2022. Any reasonable POS system (and you know that lovely chains like the cheesecake factor are running entirely on electronic POS systems) can be set to fire the entrees after the apps are up (the runner or the kitchen punches things out as they are done and the system fires the rest of the order, or the server releases the rest of the order - depends on how the place is run). Of course I've seen systems like this, but the problem is that not everybody uses it correctly. I've never worked at a chain and can't speak for the server in the OP, but in my experience the good servers take full advantage of the POS to make their jobs as easy as possible, and the more mediocre ones don't. Sometimes they're scared of computers (yes really) and don't want to do any more than is absolutely necessary. Sometimes they're scared they'll forget to send the second part (again) so they just do it all at once. Sometimes they just don't care that much and want to turn the table quickly and are counting on societal pressure to get a decent tip regardless.

I used to know a guy who would make a big show of pronouncing gyro "hero", probably because he wanted people to realize he was the only person smart enough to make the connection between the word gryo and the origin of the "hero" sandwich (there isn't one). "I think I'll have my hero with feta. Are you also getting a hero? What are you getting on your hero? Ahh $5.99 not a bad price for a hero."

Why are you okay with this? What if it was a Christian landlord annoyed that their step-nephew had stopped going to church, or something? You're right if the situation was totally different people would probably feel differently about it. Landlords already have a terrifying amount of control over their tenants in this stupid country, but this particular one seems to be doing a favor for his brother's family while also looking out for his niece. None of us are writing legislation here, just sharing our opinions about one specific incident.

Assuming this is America, I understand people's reservations about eating an animal they've never eaten or probably even seen served in their whole lives. Part of being a good cook/host is knowing your audience, and if you're springing not just an unusual food but an entirely new species on people, you shouldn't get mad when they don't want to try it.

If you've been socially conditioned for two plus decades to not think of a certain animal (or even reptiles as a whole) as food, it doesn't make you a child or a baby to not want to eat that animal. Would you call someone a baby who doesn't want to eat monkey or cat or hamster meat?

People are only going to be decorous for so long before they tell you to shut up about your stupid turtle soup. And turtle soup is absolutely an inappropriate choice to spring on a group of your average twenty-something Americans for a dinner party.
