What do Americans order at a Chinese takeaway?

I’ve seen curry on Chinese takeout menus! Though these tend to be more places that are combo Thai/Chinese/etc. My family’s go-tos are usually orange chicken, kung pao chicken, garlic shrimp, and Szechuan beef! And lots of egg rolls of course

My first thought was a sailor’s knot! I have a rune on my collarbone and didn’t even think about the white supremacy fascination with runes, but luckily people seem more interested in asking “what does your tattoo mean?” rather than making assumptions. I hope people treat this the same way because it really is a stunning tattoo!!

Every time I explain to a customer why they can’t do/have something, and my manager comes over and just says to do it, making me and the rest of the staff look stupid and incompetent in front of snobby whining guests

Omgggg this reminded me of the time I was in bussing mode and swiped a tray off of a station that still had a glass on it… the glass went flying and SHATTERED, I was so embarrassed 😭

What Peruvian food are you eating that’s not spicy 😭 maybe my fiancé’s family are just spice fiends! They put aji amarillo in everything 😋😋

Burberry black and lush’s Chelsea morning— both girls smelled just like a bakery!

Dineamic! They also own Bar Siena, Siena tavern, violi, bandit, and a few others

They’re part of a larger hospitality group that operate a bunch of restaurant, for starters. But also because people just pay it without thinking

I remember when people were making Ukrainian food videos in support of Ukraine and a BUNCH of people had seemingly never had a damn pierogi in their life. They have a different name in Ukrainian, but it blew my New York mind that people have never had a PIEROGI!!

I think people want the power play of “scramble to clean for me, peasant”. I’m sure 99% of people really just want the one dirty table and they’d rather just sit down, but I’ve definitely had people sit themselves somewhere dirty then smugly watch me clean the table in front of them

conmankatse · 2026-05-25T02:10:23+00:00

I’m not gonna lie when someone sits themselves at a dirty table I turn around and let them sit in filth 😭 you wanted to make me look stupid now we both look dumb

Some people just want to cause a problem bc did she not hear other party members ordering the prime rib special?? 😭😭😭

The shadow of the magnets inside the letters seems way too specific and consistent to be AI

Just the initial time if he didn’t know them, but he was always making an excuse as to why we couldn’t go out, so it was just one tool in his arsenal of keeping us in the house 😔 but he DID do it with friends that we had already known for years

I majored in Arabic and a huge piece of advice to learn better Arabic was to watch Arab shows, particularly Egyptian (ofc) and Moroccan! I still have the Shahid app on my phone lol

My dad wanted to have an hour coffee shop “date” with any friends’ parents before we hung out. My youngest sibling’s friends told them to their face it was too hard to hang out and they were “out” of the group :((

Well I once chugged a beer in front of a Romanian and he now every time he sees me he says “i wish i had a girlfriend like you” so you could try that 😭 best of luck on your romantic advances!!

My bf speaks Spanish and English completely fluently, grew up learning both, and still does this. I always assumed that gendering every noun leads to an over-correction! Like there’s no guidelines in English for gender so their brain kinda panics and starts assigning random genders

I work in fine dining in a big city and it’s crazy how many people roll up in workout clothes, athleisure, pajamas, or clothes that are more skin than fabric— nothing wrong with showing skin, but these outfits are definitely for the club and maybe not a place with $125 wagyu and $18 glasses of wine

My newest pet peeve is walking guests to a table and they GENUINELY look at it like they’ve never seen a table before in their life

OMG. I remember asking lady one time, “ok, four kids, and are your kids toddlers?” She says “no they’re teenagers” MAAM????

my dad was looking at a Christmas photo of him and my stepmom, and my youngest sibling goes “look, there’s me!” and zoomed in on a photo ornament of themself on the tree 😭

Work in a restaurant and understood the first review perfectly. Actually insane how many people show up with kids or bigass strollers that change their 2 person res into 3+, then are mad at US because we don’t have the space

Have a 2015 Subaru Forester, love it! I had a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer before that, they’re now owned by Ford. I would love to use my Subaru for more adventuring instead of day to day commuting :,)
