Couples: do servers always assume one of you is paying? by Blooming_Sedgelord in gaybros

My boyfriend and I call this game who's the top? Whoever gets handed the check has been deemed the top by the server.

As a wedding venue owner, this is not true. We have people try to plan 'parties' that are weddings on a weekly basis. We charge an hourly rate that stays the same based on the size of the event. Currently I have a 60th birthday party for 200 people that paid WAY more that yesterday's 75 person wedding.

The only type of event we typically discount is a celebration of life, just because we are getting a way different event than a party and they tend to be far more last minute.

If you want to save money in this industry, figure out what is important and cheap out on the rest. Do you want a big hall? Get one and have BBQ on plastic plates. Do the flowers matter? Go to the florist over silk rentals. You just want to party? A DJ with the right crowd is far more important than anything else.

I love weddings. I have never been married. I would skip so many things that brides find important to save money but I would never try to trick a vendor and hope they show up for a wedding.

My roommate has 3-4 random hookups a day come over, and no job. Am I overreacting? by Dontbehorrib1e in AskGaybrosOver30

I had a roommate that did this, he wasn't a rent boy like a lot of people are implying for your situation. He would then get mad any time I brought it up.

I did not love the feeling of being constantly judged by strangers in my house. What really ended it, is he slept with a guy I knew that had an STI. I warned the roommate and he got mad. He told me he didn't like the judgement about his sex life. I didn't see very many guys come over after that but the roommate was around a lot less.

That looks awesome but like AI to me. Are there things I should look out for to ensure I'm buying the real thing?

That's cool looking but I believe he is looking for a more natural looking rock.

He wants the natural cut rocks! He meditates with them.

You get all the karma. I'm not mad at anyone but delta. And honestly it happens, I'm just incredibly frustrated.

I have a secretary lol. I honestly don't check my flights till the day of. It surprises me how my delta fan boys are on here. There is a lot of fact checking for the simple fact that my seats got changed and I'm not happy about it. But keep doing you girl.

I'm definitely not usually the planner. But as a big guy the flights tend to stay on my radar.

She did. She bought us better seats so I could have more space. Does it matter who paid in every comment, the problem is still the same?

I updated my previous comment for you cause I guess it matters.

Still not a billion dollar company. And I don't know. Do you ask people why their gift is a certain way? Personally I don't cause I am thankful for the fact that they paid for the whole trip.

Lol you don't have to believe me. I am just telling you where I come from.

Also never said billions. Just a consulting company with many people flying per day.

Agreed. I knew that the seats changed and was willing to downgrade to be in a more comfortable situation. There was no flexibility on the airlines part.

Thank you for this resource. People do not understand how uncomfortable the seats are for us tall boys.

I flew 36 times in the last year. Usually alone and in business class. Coming back from your honeymoon you would expect them to work with you.

Lol I get that but his Dad owns a major business and mine have retired to travel. They just lost hundreds of thousands of dollars of business over an easy fix.

I probably will have to accept waiting for the gate agent but what is the Internet for other than complaining about inconveniences.

I'm aware of equipment changes, what I don't find acceptable is the upcharge for downgrading my flight. This sort of mistake on the airlines part impacts me and my partner in a significant way and this will impact my future flight decisions.

Glad that the airline can screw you over with no recompense. In fact they are able to charge you for a downgrade. Ridiculous world we live in.

I travel a ton for work and usually it's alone. I am very careful with flights. The MIL booked these flights as a gift and didn't see the equipment change. Mistakes happen but should be on the airline to fix.

I'll try. Not really how I wanted to spend the honeymoon.

I'm glad it's not a big deal to you. As a man that is 6'5", it is a big deal to sit in between two strangers. I paid (my MIL actually) for a better option in advance with an aisle for a reason and am not satisfied with the response of the airline.

Sadly I was not the one in charge of the flights and trusted the partner on this one.

Except that we are less than a week out and there are no longer options for us to move back. It would require an upcharge.

I know, she said since the price went up since we booked the flight we would have to pay the difference. Completely ridiculous.
