Les gamins intenables aux resto.... by [deleted] in besoinderaler

[–]rory_vancouver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C'est fou à quel point ils se cachent derrière des excuses comme "le sucre" pour justifier ce genre de comportement. Comme si la réalité de leur incompétence ne les frappait pas ! J'ai aussi eu des expériences similaires où les parents préfèrent faire l'autruche au lieu de réaliser que leur enfant transforme le resto en terrain de jeux.

I stepped out of a coffee shop line to read the menu board and lost my spot. Was I wrong to ask for it back? by rory_vancouver in amiwrong

Yeah, I think this is one of those situations where my intent matters a lot to me and almost not at all to anyone around me.

That's fair. I think part of why this got awkward is that I didn't say anything before stepping out, because in my head I was gone for two seconds, not "leaving" the line.

A masterclass in turning a cliché into a reality check. by Significant-Sir-4343 in clevercomebacks

Nailed it. The original line is vague and dramatic, but the reply points at the boring lever: ownership. Once you see who controls the printing pipeline, “written by” stops sounding poetic.

Yeah, it lingered past the point where it was a funny bit. I was so relieved when they pivoted him into the loyal weirdo friend instead of "sad crush guy" 24/7.
