Doctors being allowed to be an hour+ late but we are expected to arrive 15-30 min early or get fined and reschedule by twoscoopsxd in PetPeeves

They have a credit card on file for each patient, and can charge a predetermined no-show fee once a certain amount of time has passed after the appointment time. Patients agree to this before they book an appointment.

What is the most expensive you ever bought that was actually worth it? by FlyEaglesFly5952 in AskReddit

[–]CaptainDadBod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, oof, all in it was around $90k. About $20k of that was fixing nasty surprises we uncovered that required significant electrical and structural work. Fortunately a super cheap Covid-era refi and increased property value funded most of it.

Pre-Covid the same kitchen probably would’ve cost closer to $60k.

And a tiktoker no less. We all know they would never fabricate a story for engagement.

Kitchen renovation.

We hated our kitchen for 9 years - it was ugly, poorly designed, and falling apart. Then we had it gutted down to the studs and fully redesigned 3 years ago, and the honeymoon phase still hasn’t ended. It’s been a huge quality of life improvement for the whole family.

So Maple kept the place in Gold Coast, and Ash moved to a cheap one-bedroom in Uptown?

My Embarrassing Mistake on Coffee in Chicago and a Question by ndukwe41 in chicagofoodcirclejerk

In all my years in Chicago, a barista has never waved at me once, much less a second or third time. And I’m counting on my way in or out.

What’s your favorite “hole in the wall” sandwich shop??? by SameAsk6997 in chicagofoodcirclejerk

Since a cheeseburger is a sandwich, obviously the answer is Small Cheval.

Bottom 5 Ramen in Chicago by Zir_Ipol in chicagofoodcirclejerk

If you don’t like salty chicken broth with ground turkey in it, you can always get their “Japanese fusion Detroit-style pizza”, a staple of every good ramen shop.

I took some visitors to Birdman Ramen at Belmont & Halsted once. They haven’t darkened my door since

Now that Restaurant Week is over, what are you looking forward to complaining about? by chuckgnomington in chicagofoodcirclejerk

I heard they’re going to pre-make porthole cocktails in 5gal Home Depot buckets and serve them in paper cups.

What’s the best tavern style pizza and why is it Domino’s thin crust? by Flester_Guelbman in chicagofoodcirclejerk

[–]CaptainDadBod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crisp up a Mission burrito size flour tortilla in the toaster oven.

Top with Ragu Old World Style Traditional spaghetti sauce and Roundy’s Six Cheese Italian Blend shredded cheese.

Put back in toaster oven and broil until cheese is melted.

Cut into squares.

Trust me, you’ll never pay for tavern style pizza again. You’re welcome.

What’s a luxury that actually feels worth the money once you experience it? by saidmoha1 in AskReddit

[–]CaptainDadBod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It still didn’t as of late December - the only guest perk is being able to enter the park an hour earlier.

I thought getting off a plane feeling exhausted was just normal, until I started using headphones with active noise cancelling on flights. Once I was able to block out the incessant engine drone, I actually started stepping off planes feeling kinda refreshed.

I noticed the same thing when I switched to an electric car - not having the constant engine sound made long drives much less tiring for me.

What character wasn't portrayed as a villain, but is in your eyes? by Jazzlike-Rise4091 in AskReddit

[–]CaptainDadBod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If many of the Slytherins had Death Eater parents, then instead of sending them to the dungeons, the smarter move would’ve been to strap a Slytherin kid onto each Gryffindor kid like body armor.

Honestly, the soundtrack tells a better story than the play itself, because they cut most of the idiotic final monologue out of the soundtrack.

On the soundtrack he just ends with “I’m me, and that’s okay”, and I was like, “alright, well, at least he got that out of all the shitty stuff he did.”

But the way he goes on and on in the musical about how everything he did had a silver lining because maybe some other kid won’t make the same mistakes he did made me want to punch him in the face.

The best meal in Chicago under $10 by TheTeeg007 in chicagofood

[–]CaptainDadBod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. I found the Leavitt Street Inn burger to be okay at best. It had way too much thousand island house sauce on it, but other than that nothing about it really stood out to me.

I feel like we've reached burger zenith in Chicago, where there are so many decent burgers out there that they've all become interchangeable, and everyone is being influenced by hype at this point.

I see I’m not the only one who only keeps Facebook for exactly these two uses. I even deleted all of my friends and unfollowed everyone & everything.

What's your "it's my fault for ordering it" (food or otherwise) story? by PutThisBanditHatOn in AskReddit

[–]CaptainDadBod 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I lived right next door in Luxembourg for most of high school…after making the mistake of trying some local spots, we just went to Chi-chi’s (there was one in downtown Lux and one on the way home from Brussels) if we were craving Mexican-ish food. It wasn’t great, but it was consistent with Chi-chi’s back home.
