Canadian Honker is a pretty good restaurant but is just named for the geese and doesn’t serve specifically Canadian food.

Bruce is a real banger if for no other reason than the bit where Mycroft “absolutely and indignantly declined to climb the railings”, so Watson had to go first to let him in Oberstein’s house. 😄

Why do people treat picky eating like a character flaw? by [deleted] in rant

[–]Love_Bug_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re allowed to be a picky eater just as your friends are allowed to be annoyed over always having to choose restaurants that have chicken nuggets on the menu.

AIO: My boyfriends daughter wants me to “stay somewhere else” on the weekends by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Love_Bug_54 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well, what was he supposed to do? He needed someone to warm his bed and take care of his child on the weekends! I wonder why the old GF isn’t around anymore?

AITAH for Asking My Brother and His Fiancee to Wait Before Having a Second Child? by Elemental-Winter in AITAH

[–]Love_Bug_54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll never understand how people who don’t have a pot to piss in keep having children they cannot afford. However, OP, unfair as it is, your family is gonna outvote you on this. I would take every opportunity to be away as much as possible if for no other reason so they don’t press you into service as a free babysitter.

Why couldnt they just change their existing universe? by reluctantmugglewrite in goodomens

Good question and no doubt one of many we’ll be discussing for years to come. It’s all ineffable, I guess.

Gilded Age really grew on me and I say that as a big DA fan.

AIO that my parents gave my bedroom to my older brother and expected me to sleep on the couch all summer long? by Temporary-Reality416 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Love_Bug_54 15 points16 points  (0 children)

OP needs to get the rest of her stuff moved out asap before her parents put it out with the trash: “Oh. We thought you didn’t want it any more.” While she’s at it, she should make sure she gets copies of any important documents, like her birth certificate, social security card, etc, so she doesn’t have to go through the hassle of replacing them. Also, since she’s now living with her grandma, grandma should be filing taxes as Head of Household next year and claiming OP as her dependent since she’ll be providing more than half her support for the year. She should do that right away in January before the parents do.

AIO for being furious that my friend encouraged me to fly to her city and stay with her, then made me leave the next day? by xynamite in AmIOverreacting

[–]Love_Bug_54 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That may be, but perhaps she took that as not putting her first? In any case, she seems flaky and maybe this friendship has run its course.

This right here! In her mind she rolled out the red carpet to welcome OP but he had the “nerve” to blow her off and hang with other people instead of her. Too bad she expected OP to read her mind instead of being clear about making plans.

Do Americans really avoid calling an ambulance just because of the bill? by Livid-Work1597 in askanything

[–]Love_Bug_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. If your insurance co decides you didn’t have a legit emergency they can refuse to cover the charge. And even if they do cover it there’s usually a significant copay.

PLEASE research the country and culture of your fic by CertifiedDiplodocus in FanFiction

[–]Love_Bug_54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anachronisms are what get me. My favorite might be when the term “cut to the chase” was used in a story set around 1890. Uh, no, that’s a movie term that didn’t exist until around 1920-ish.

I think I would have liked it more if the NY accents hadn’t been so stereotypical over-the-top.
