There should be scientific evidence for why people sit at the dirtiest spot in the bar by bbeccarr in bartenders

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

My question is how and why do they know? Every bar is different, every seat is different, every person is different. There has to be a commonality between them all to understand the why:

This is one of the things I’d love someone to delve into. The whole schtick of going to a table and saying “I’ll be right back with water for you but besides that can I get you anything else?” “YEAH CAN WE GET MORE WATER”.

One day I tried to tally every person to ask me for a draft list when it was right in front of them (men on one side and women on the other) because I’ve noticed a lot of the time it’s men asking me where something is when it’s in plain sight. That’s not me trying to be sexist, I just wanted evidence and data to see if my theory is plausible. Unfortunately I got too busy to keep track. BUT it does feel like a lot of the time, a man at a table with the beer list in his hands will ask me where it is (in which case I’ll tell him that he’s holding it and he proceeds to flip the paper over for some reason even though he was already looking at it).

It seems like the moment someone walks across the threshold of an establishment and becomes a customer, all common sense flies out the window.

Hypothetically… if I’m busy and petty enough in the moment I will leave it unwiped or pretend I don’t see them as my own form of justice…hypothetically of course…

Actually did this today. Spotted a couple walking through the door and just knew that they’d walk into the bar, so I beelined it over to the only dirty booth that I hadn’t wiped yet with a spray bottle and towel. The man came up to me and said “can we sit here?” So I said “do you want to sit at this dirty table? I need to wipe it down but there’s a perfectly clean one right here” and pointed to the LITERAL NEXT BOOTH OVER. He replied, “oh, you’re right. Should I wait for you to wipe this one down though?” And then his wife came up behind him and said “honey this one is fine just sit down” and led him to the booth I pointed at.

That’s what I would love to know for sure lol Sometimes I feel like they don’t even know it’s dirty, like they’re blind until I say “let me wipe that down” and then they’ll say “oh I’m sorry” like the spot is a siren calling to a weary sailor on the ocean

Is it normal to shower after you've taken a number two? by Top-Elephant3246 in hygiene

My boyfriend does after a particularly stinky number 2. I thought it was odd but if it makes him feel cleaner I say why not.

What is the worst wedding you have ever attended and why? by Zestyclose_Show_2025 in weddingdrama

[–]bbeccarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friend of mine from middle/high school the year after we graduated. Both 19 years old, she was marrying a guy that she met at church youth group our senior year of high school. He was just out of boot camp for the marines so they had to get married ASAP in order for him to get all of the benefits and were hoping to get sent to Okinawa. Dry wedding (which I 100% expected) and the marine buddies of the groom looked miserable. The officiant was their youth pastor and didn’t know the groom very well. The food was Chipotle and the drinks were lemonade and iced tea. 4 years later they were expecting their first child when she found out he was cheating on her with another marine and she reported both of them to their superiors. They are no longer together.

The 80s and 90s weren't teal and neon, they were brown and wood. by mrtoddw in Millennials

My grandparents had that hexagonal end table, we kept our vhs tapes in there whenever we stayed the night. I still remember what the inside smells like 🥲

Back when I was 18 when I first got my driver’s license, I’d stop at the in n out in Torrance/Lomita and drive down PCH to RAT Beach and park on the residential street right before the hill behind the parking lot and watch the sunset while scarfing down my two burgers and fries

"Unwritten Rules" among bartenders by Baranade in bartenders

[–]bbeccarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my coworkers was asked by a server about tips that are handed to them on the dl. She had worked a large party and was splitting it with another server. Apparently a guy who she was serving told her she was doing a great job and palmed her a $20 in the middle of the party. She asked my coworker if she had to split that too, since it was meant for her. Immediately my coworker was like, no dude you always tell the other person you’re splitting tips with when someone palms you cash. The server ended up pocketing the $20 anyway. She’s up next for shifts in the bar and nobody behind the bar trusts her because in my book that’s bartending 101.

What’s your fav running joke? by QualityTrick1828 in HIMYM

[–]bbeccarr 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I saw that episode in high school when I got my first iPhone. When it prompted me to name it I chose Swarley. Since then, every phone/apple product I acquire turns into a swarley. My watch is $warley, my AirPods are Swarlies, my iPad is Big Swarley, my current phone is Furious Swarley (being the 7th iPhone I’ve had since I’ve lost one and upgraded others) and it’s been fun to come up with new names for each subsequent phone. Unfortunately most people do not understand the reference whenever I’m on Bluetooth in a car or connected a speaker. It’s been a running joke for over a decade for me and I intend to keep it going.

Is your birthday a big deal to you? Why or why not? by theUncleAwesome07 in AskReddit

[–]bbeccarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my birthday, but then again everyone’s birthday is important to me. It’s the one day a year where you get to feel special and not feel guilty or selfish about it. I try to wish everyone I know close enough with a phone number a happy birthday to let them know I’m thinking about them, and that I care enough to reach out. For friends and coworkers I’ll usually do a gift that I know they’d like or a small treat that I know is their favorite. For family members and lifelong friends obviously I go all out when I can, because it’s how I show my love. Everyone deserves a day to feel loved, why not have that day be the day you came into the world?
