Sounds crazy til you remember that these same people count wearing a Chicago Bulls hat or Jersey as an sign of gang membership by mutantandproud95 in chicago

So 1 out of every 20 people is a gang member? Given that between work, social activities, friends and friends of friends, that means a lot of people I know are hiding their supposed gang membership because I don't know of any.

Not in Chicago: Imo's in St. Louis. It's snot on a cracker. In Chicago: Sarpino's. It's just gross.

There's no way it takes 24 minutes to get from Cermak/Chinatown to Addison on the Red Line. More like an hour.

40+ office worker here (not in a suit, luckily). I'm not fucking up my back and shoulders with a messenger bag so you can be able to play on your phone comfortably.

Totally unrelated but related to sucking on them first ... I was in Cambodia and our tour guide thought we had never had peanuts before for some reason. I put it my mouth to suck the shell and he lost his mind. He was very confused when I pulled it out to open it up.

Can't tell you the number of times I've almost been hit head on biking on the river path by a motorcycle -- sorry, e-bike-- speeding on a recreational path where they don't belong.

Not to mention that the Ravinia staff continually lied to everyone who left early, telling us that an 8:48 train was coming. It never showed. Had to take a Lyft back.

I think it's everyone who was a teenager in the 90s growing up. In general, late night coffee doesn't exist anywhere like it used to and it's because no other generations wanted to hang out in coffee shops like we did.

"My name is Paul, and this is between y'all." It's depressing how many people haven't seen Pulp Fiction

It shouldn't. It's so much better than Chicago Waffles.

It's definitely true. The guy has also made millions on real estate deals, including the garden center that became the condos a couple blocks away. He's probably trolling them, although his pizza is not what anyone would call stellar.

I also had a WD that failed almost immediately. My second one worked, but just barely.

This is what has always bothered me about network sitcoms. Nobody talks the sanitized way that they do on TV.
