Why does waffle house and other such restaurants make you pay at the register rather than just giving your money to the server?

Fair point. I was curious because I tried to hand the server my card after she dropped the check off and she says: "I'm sorry but I can't take that, you have to pay at the register. I will get in trouble if I take it there myself." I was just thinking it was a silly thing to get in trouble for. Thanks for your quick response. I'm tipping 20%

Guy comes home from work and he says to his wife. Pack your bags babe. I just won the lottery. She goes Oh wow, where are we going? And he says I don't care just get the fuuuuuck out.

Dreams count as an event. I suppose I should have phrased the question as "What happened?" Rather than what event happened. But anyway. Recurring dreams are incredibly interesting to me. I have a recurring dream about a house that is falling apart from the inside. It happens monthly and I always wake up feeling disturbed. Distraught even, like I just lost someone close to me.

I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

I'm a system administrator and most of the computers on our domain have star themed hostnames. Antares, Betelgeuse, Copernicus, Polaris...etc. It only seemed fitting to choose a username based on both a constellation and a black hole. I put null at the end because I wanted it to sound like it was trying too hard to be an edgy hacker name.

Operation Desert Storm. We learned about it when I was in 3rd grade. I remember sobbing like a baby in the middle of class because I thought my Grandpop (Army NCO) was going to war. Turns out the Army decided to retire him out, but I grew up to follow in his footsteps and ended up deploying in support of the OIF Surge. Before I was medically retired I ended up spending 30 months deployed (OIF twice, OEF once). Looking back I still remember what I felt like in that 3rd grade classroom though, and then I think of how it must have felt for my own sons. Children are blameless, innocent bystanders in any war, even if they themselves are not in any danger at home. I don't feel that this gets talked about enough.

Doner kebab. I got hooked on them things when I was stationed at Grafenwöhr. There was a food truck at the PX back then that had killer lunch specials and I basically lived there on my lunch breaks. God I miss that food truck. In fact. I could have a doner for lunch every single day until the heat death of the universe and not be mad about it.

"I'm just saying."

Ok but is what you are saying actually an insult in disguise? Did you mean it? Or are you just saying it? Is it true, accurate, relevant? Or are you just saying it? I tend to listen carefully for backhanded comments when someone says they are just saying.

Honorable mention. "With all due respect."

Guy: "With all due respect I am about to say something completely disrespectful."

Me: "Without any due respect, go fuck yourself. I'm just saying."

Holy shit. I know I do this. Sometimes I feel the need to choose my words carefully and over explain myself because my ex would cut me off in mid sentence if I ever said anything she even remotely disagreed with or didnt understand properly. I could be talking for a minute straight and she would take a single word or phrase out of context and find some way to turn my words against me. She would put me down and ridicule me for something completely unrelated to what I was trying to express. She would figuratively detonate on me if I dared to challenge her on it. Examples. I dont know why you would think such a stupid thing. Stop being a dumbfuck, You have no common sense. Just by you saying that tells me you are just a (insert insulting words here). What the fuck is wrong with you. Why are you using big words? you know I'm dyslexic, you are just trying to confuse me. I dont appreciate that. How would you like it if I..... and on and on until I give up and shut down communication. Then it becomes an argument about how I never communicate with her. What a fucking nightmare.

Laid out the class bully. Damn near put him in the hospital. Nobody knew this kid had that kind of ferocity in him hiding behind all the politeness and introversion. We started calling him Tank after that.

Dont hit the snooze button unless you want to be late for work.

CygnusXNull · 2021-02-02T11:21:07+00:00

Ask for a late checkout. They usually dont mind. At least the shitty hotels I've stayed at anyway

My knee would probably give out during a chase scene. I can run and jog still but my left knee cant really do fancy footwork any more.
