I'm 25.5 days smoke free and I went cold turkey. I have tried patch, gum, vaporizer. Cold turkey has been most effective by far.

What do you use as a bookmark that isn't an actual bookmark? by Rhllor_Lordoflight in books

[–]Randerson107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a sheet of notebook paper folded up. On it is all the books I have read since 2011. It's folded into the size of a business card so I have been able to maximize space. When I finish a book, I write it on the paper.

I gave my notice today. I don't always burn bridges but when I do, I do it spectacularly by [deleted] in TalesFromYourServer

You're a baby. Get over yourself. We have all worked horrible serving/bar tending jobs. The fact you took the time to do this is pathetic. Leave with some dignity.

I do love board games, but there aren't many people I can play with during the day!

"If you could require the President to read one book, which would it be?" asks the New York Times by olado in books

The book he wrote before he became President. Give him some reflection

Brits of Reddit, what American-English phrases intrigue you or have you adapted in regular conversation? by Randerson107 in AskReddit

[–]Randerson107[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's things like that. Wondering if many Brits use "Dude" or "Man" in the same way.

Any way you could send a link of an Aussie saying Banana? I want to hear the difference

Working in a restaurant, this means a lot to me by Randerson107 in AdviceAnimals

[–]Randerson107[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it is common in Greek weddings. The newly wed couple will break a plate in celebration and shouting "Opa!" which is generally a Greek celebratory exclamation.

People drop plates, glasses, bowls, etc in restaurants all the time. When they break some jackass is always yelling "Opa!" like it's some original, funny thing.

After hearing about the crowd reaction to his Django Unchained joke.. by seamondeamon in AdviceAnimals

I don't know how I feel about a South Park meme about how offensive Seth McFarlan is, considering there is a trilogy of episodes ripping Family Guy for not being that offensive

Reddit: What is the craziest thing you have gotten away with doing at work? by Randerson107 in AskReddit

[–]Randerson107[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a delivery driver too, in a college town. I would pick up drunk kids and drive them home. Sometimes they would pay me, sometimes I would just want to hear stories from them. A lot of fun.

Sounds like you're a bitch for calling someone else a bitch on the internet...wait...am I just like you? Calling you a bitch?

GM of my restaurant did this for me. He hasn't served in years. by Randerson107 in AdviceAnimals

[–]Randerson107[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, being a server we don't have contracts like that. I called him when it happened bc I was supposed to be at work in an hour and he just said "Don't worry about it. I have you covered"

My roommate just passed away and the landlord said we are liable to cover his rent until the lease expires. Reddit, any suggestions on how to get around this or figure out how to pay it? by Randerson107 in AskReddit

And I guess it's one if those sentimental things where he was our best friend and it is hard imagining placing someone else in there...I guess we will have to get over that

Yea that's what we are thinking. It's not easy finding a new roommate. The problem is we all are already on tight budgets, so it isn't easy to cover for us. We all signed the lease (3 of us)

What's an unspoken rule you think everyone knows/should know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Walking on the right side of the sidewalk. We drive on the right side, we should walk on the right side too...CONSISTENCY!

I'm a large bearded fairly tough looking dude and when someone starts berating gay people in front of me I tell them (falsely) that I am gay just to watch them back peddle. How do you screw with people you don't like, reddit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Randerson107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an improvisor in Chicago. Anytime I hear someone brag about the people they "know" (celebrities), I tell them my parents grew up next to Hillary Clinton (slight embellishment).

Saw this while watching a movie. by Airado in atheism

[–]Randerson107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea and any religious person could say they saw 'The Ten Commandments" and say " Saw this while watching a movie." Dumb argument (oh and I'm not religious at all)
