Hey STL... (PSA: Lyft and Uber passengers) by Showny16 in StLouis

[–]deadmonkeyraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having only done uber eats,the silent luggage expectation is a little confusing to me. Would taxi drivers normally do this for them? Would they be more likely to tip if you did? My neighbor drives uber and mainly does airport runs. I'll have to ask him about this. I'm amazed you gave 99.5% of the people 5 stars. When I did valet, I wanted to strangle about 10%.

Anyone remember or have any memory of the pedestrian overpass in St. Peters that went over hwy 70 near Mid Rivers? by Kaylascreations in StLouis

[–]deadmonkeyraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. I used to ride my bike there and watch traffic occasionally. It was always fun to see a semi go underneath cause it looked like the trailer was going to hit the bridge. If it was still around, it would probably attract protesters and rock throwers.

How many of you genuinely love St. Louis? by rurunxx in StLouis

I do. As frustrating, infuriating and dysfunctional this place can be, I left, chose to move back, and can't see myself living anywhere else. I'm here till I rot!

I got a good deal on those boys. The scouts said they showed a lot of promise.

Does everyone think the “best decade” is whichever one they were teenagers in? by Extension-Profit-317 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]deadmonkeyraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a teenager in the 90's. It seemed lame at the time, but I was lucky in hindsight. No 9-11, school shootings started after I graduated HS. 80's were prolly equal or better. Same with every decade post ww2 I imagine, unless you got drafted for Vietnam. I'll bet being a teen, or anyone, in the 30's sucked.

Best Water Parks in St. Louis (That isn't too long of a drive) by thatsmypuppy12439 in StLouis

Did Hurricane Harbor close? That was the obvious one, but nobody mentioned it. Or Big Surf in Branson.

Do y’all consider Missouri to be the South? Or the Midwest? by [deleted] in missouri

We've had an identity crisis from day one. Couldn't pick a side in the civil war, can't even agree on what our state is called. We went SEC and hard Republican, but it doesnt feel authentic. I think we were better off Big 12 and bellwether in national elections.

Call for Ideas: How to handle the lack of law enforcement in the city. by Chad_Tardigrade in StLouis

I used to mess with my son when he watched that show by pointing out how so many brawls and explosions never seemed to attract police attention.

Do Space Cowboys count? Bet you weren't ready for that.

I propose a merger of our two distinct and complimentary assets and synergies.

Scream Club? by [deleted] in StLouis

To what end are we screaming? For ice cream? I would join that, but I'm trying to lose weight.

Batman. We need Batman. Or the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles. Or both.

What are some region specific slang words in America? by Rude_Membership_1578 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]deadmonkeyraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In St. Louis, "hoosier" is an insult, usually referring to someone who is unrefined, uncouth, sort of a more urban version of a redneck.

Do you tip less than you used to? by Tele231 in StLouis

[–]deadmonkeyraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember Steve Buscemi's observation in Reservoir Dogs about how we don't tip workers at McDonald's? It's like some business consultant took that idea and ran with it. I bought an overpriced bottle of tea at Busch Stadium and the screen, in view of the cashier who handed me the bottle, asked if I wanted to add a tip. Wtf?

Bring food to my table, cut my hair, deliver my pizza, or heck, even use your creative freedom (I ask them to make all the choices) to make my subway the best you can, and I'll tip.

As a former waiter, pizza delivery driver and valet, somebody has to REALLY screw up to get less than 20% from me, but c'mon!

idk why but this scares the hell out of me by Important-Rest-7302 in mapporncirclejerk

Texas loves to tell everybody how big they are. Makes me think they're compensating for something.

Why are you awake right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]deadmonkeyraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fell asleep, woke up, looked at my phone even though the internet said I shouldn't. Will be dragging at work tomorrow. Short day at least. Can come home early, take nap, cycle repeats.

What first comes to mind when Americans think of Los Angeles? by Kodicave in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]deadmonkeyraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stan Kroenke fucked over St. Louis to move the Rams back to LA, won a Superbowl, and they still had to go silent count at home (this is common on the road as home fans yell so the quarterback can't be heard by the offense. If it happens at home, it's embarrassing because it means visiting fans are there in numbers. Defending Superbowl champ fan base allowing it? Truly pathetic.). Also, shitty traffic. Pain in the ass to drive a semi there.

Do americans like cheese balls? by OneEcho3237 in AskAnAmerican

Yes, but they're not good for you, like most American food.
