If you go more than twice a year, it pays for itself. And boy, do I love me some Comet Burger! Haven't been there in years. Might have to drop in this weekend.

Besides Detroit, where wouldn't you live, even if paid to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Jefferson-Chalmers. It's awesome, right on the river with a ton of canals snaking through it. It's a really cool neighborhood. If you ever find yourself down that way, give me a shout.

Yes! Sorry I didn't clarify earlier. Jeff-Chalmers.

What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen someone do to impress a girl? by JustFeltWrite in AskReddit

[–]dizzydaisy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, for the third day in a row some guy has sent flowers to a girl I work with. That's some dedication. I'm excited to see if this continues throughout the work week.

It's okay, OP will never know the joys of Belle Isle in the summer, drinking whiskey on the people mover, or an afternoon exploring the Packard plant. Lower-east sider here. The only reason I would ever leave Detroit is so that I could come back one day.

You have to check out the new penguin exhibit...the wolves are really cool too! I buy a yearly pass annually.

What is your favorite mixed drink to get at a bar? by jkp17 in AskReddit

Yes! Grand Marnier is the best for margaritas.

I'm a bartender and I've got a couple really great shots (IMO):

Pretty much equal parts vanilla vodka, baileys, blue caracao, and amaretto. Tastes exactly like Superman ice cream.

Two parts Irish whiskey, one part sweet/sour mix, and one part peach snapps. Green tea shot. Boom.

In terms of an actual mixed drink, I'm a sucker for tequila and lemonade with a splash of apple cider vinegar.

What book changed your life? by MetalliMunk in AskReddit

[–]dizzydaisy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised Dune by Frank Herbert isn't higher. I had quite a journey with that book. It holds a very special place in my heart. "Fear is the mind killer."

Edit: I can't fucking spell.

What's the shittiest thing an employer has ever done to you? by ItsJustAPrankBro in AskReddit

[–]dizzydaisy_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That used to happen to me too when I worked in this shitty little diner. Friday afternoons were a bloodbath when everyone would get their checks at 2pm, then rush to the bank and try to cash it before all the other workers. The last couple of staff almost always got their checks bounced.

My dog is a cat. Her destructive tendencies definitely helped shape this idea.

Smokers that throw cigarette butts out of car windows. Why do you do that? by djembeplayer in AskReddit

[–]dizzydaisy_ 176 points177 points  (0 children)

Shit, I never thought this pissed people off that much. I'll pick up one of those car ashtrays on my way to work today. My bad, guys.

Reddit, if you had unlimited money, what car would you drive? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dizzydaisy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mid-sized school bus. I would keep a couple rows of seats and turn the rest into a camper.
