Servers are constantly faced with the challenge of servicing many patrons simultaneously, so it’s not surprising if things don’t operate smoothly. But what is the statute of limitations on punishing a hard worker who made an honest mistake? A woman who confronted and had a fallout with her friend about how she dealt with a […] More
People’s behavior in public can be a problem. Not everyone seems to respect space and boundaries. This can be especially problematic in places like libraries and restaurants. Some people don’t seem to have an “inside voice.” And some people don’t care if they’re being disruptive. This makes some conversations awkward. Redditor swiss913 wanted to discuss […] More
Conversations about money are almost guaranteed to become uncomfortable. Particularly when being discussed between two people with significantly different incomes. Chances are both parties are bound to become insecure about the fact that they make significantly less or more than the person they’re talking with. Similarly, people for whom money is an issue might feel […] More
There are two types of people: those who share their food and those who absolutely refuse to share food. In my family we frequently share food when eating in restaurants or when ordering takeout. My Sisters, my nibling, and I will order different meals then split them between us. But we never eat off someone […] More
Being lactose-intolerant can be a difficult problem to manage. But it’s not impossible. However, dairy is everywhere. Thankfully, there are many dairy-free options nowadays. But now and again, people find themselves face-to-face with a nice piece of pizza. And that pizza can be far too tempting. Redditor throwawaydad12393883 wanted to discuss his experience and get […] More
I worked in a donut shop in college. I’m old enough that the Seattle one wasn’t a thing yet. The one I worked at still had “Donut” in the alliterative name and bright pink and brown uniforms. It was the 1980s and I think the uniforms were holdovers from the 70s. Anyway, all of this […] More
I’m not a particularly picky eater, but I am extremely sensitive to chili peppers. So there are some cuisines where my options are very limited. For instance, a celebration of Thai food wouldn’t have much I could eat. I’ve had Indian food I enjoyed, but a lot of the more popular dishes aren’t accessible to […] More
Some people prefer sitting at a nice table when on a date to enhance the romantic mood, while others are perfectly content with the company and don’t mind where they’re seated. For one couple, a table by the window was perfect. Things couldn’t get any better when, beforehand, the woman’s date bought her flowers to […] More
When children with a close, healthy relationship with their parent(s) grow up, they often want to do nice things with them to “pay them back” for their lifelong support. Houses, trips, cars or just a nice meal are all things adult children might choose to buy for their parent(s). A pair of sisters with a […] More
The birthday dinner in lieu of a party is something a lot of families choose to observe. While the birthday person usually gets to choose the restaurant, should a parent be able to veto their choice for reasons other than financial? A mother who vetoed her daughter’s restaurant choice is questioning her decision after friends […] More
One would think that in this supposedly modern and progressive age we live in, having children would no longer be as black-and-white an issue as it once was. Unfortunately, having children still seems to be a given to far too many people, who are shocked to the point of appalled at the very notion that […] More
No two people have the same idea of what they might consider “casual” or “formal attire.” Some men never leave the house without wearing a jacket and tie, nor do some women ever leave without high heels and a matching purse, even if they’re just going to the grocery store. Others are seen more often […] More
