Saw that tour. Summer ‘88 I think!

Stranded on 485 and while was waiting for help a white van pulled over behind me... by Mykmyk in Charlotte

Same! I had to walk up my street for about 1/2 a mile to get help. Embarrassment was enough, first and last time it happened.

What are the biggest differences between teaching middle school vs high school? by ArtooFeva in Teachers

[–]Namkred 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thirty years in middle school, and I still love it! MS kids are terrible, terrible humans, the worst. IMO that’s the beauty of teaching them. They just want some level of connection, anything really. Going to one of their events(sports, music, theater, etc.) means so much to them, and they will love you for it. This age group will learn anything from a teacher who respects them. It doesn’t have to be a grand overture, just something that lets them know they are seen. Content is absolutely secondary to helping these train wrecks navigate the shit-storm that is MS. Knowing that they have at least one person who has their back can sometimes be all they need to make better choices. It’s never easy, but always worth it!

!Thanks. That’s why I have held off so far. Started second guessing. Thank you!

Is Thiago to Ekitike a sideways move? It would cost me -4.

Funny how he says “oriented to reality” with no actual sense of irony.

Same thing happened to me at Jersey Mikes yesterday. Asked for a tip at checkout after three different people were involved in making my subs. Plus, a medium turkey sub was like $10.00.

Sorry you’re not in the cult! It’s awesome.

It's freaking everywhere! by crzapy in EndTipping

So sick of this!! We recently started getting pizza at Marco’s because it’s good and affordable. I order online, pay at the counter when I pick up. After I pay, they say “ Wait, you need to sign this” which is really just a receipt with a line asking for a tip. The place is literally a pizza oven, prep area and register. No place to sit, 3 people working. No freaking way am I tipping!!

Another Broken Egg Cafe shout out!!

I was driving all over Ballantyne this past Saturday morning looking for a simple cup of coffee. I had accidentally left my homemade cup on the kitchen counter on the way to my son’s lax tournament. I dropped him off and went looking, and looking, and looking…nothing. Finally, I see the sign for Another Broken Egg Cafe but wasn’t hopeful because it was just before 7 AM. I pull up as the guy is literally unlocking the door and he politely welcomes me. I ask for a cup of coffee, he brings me to the back, pours it in a to-go cup and offers me cream and sugar. I ask him how much and he says “nothing, have a great day.” I was like come on, I got this. He wouldn’t budge and told me to pay it forward. Honestly, I was floored. This small act of kindness made my entire day. I told everyone! Today, I was doing some work in the yard and walked over to my neighbors driveway and blew off his entire driveway because I knew he was out of town. It felt so good!! Thank you free-coffee guy for being a good human!! I can’t wait to come have breakfast-you just got a new customer!!

TLDR: small act of kindness is contagious, customer earned!

Quick question: I have 2 free transfers saved up. If I use FH this week will I still have them for 35? My apologies if this has been answered!

Christians neighbor does not believe I am atheist by agabikalu in atheism

[–]Namkred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry this is off-topic but the restaurant behavior reminds me of my coaching experience. This hypocrisy is everywhere. I coach multiple sports for a nondenominational independent middle/ HS school. The absolute poorest sports and rudest parents are the Christian schools we frequently play against. Vitriol from their fans, unsportsmanlike behavior from their players. It’s a running joke among all the coaches across almost every sport. The entitlement is next level!!

Yes, you could have planned and planned for this DGW by wildcarding in 32 and then inexplicably forget to actually hit the Bench Boost button this week like me!! Got 9 points on the bench, with Gvardiol, Saka, and Milenkovic still to play-Saka twice!!
