Had this happen at a restaurant, there was 0 internet connection so it was hell trying to load the menu lol

I'm sooooooo happy I was not a young person in the age of social media.

100 percent correct!

Who the f**k said otherwise?!

We've just switch back from 'Summer Time', and I have decided I don't like it. I'd rather stay on Summer Time the year round.

It's rude, and annoying.

As per the original patent.

As you should, unless you intentionally mean to imply that the last 2 items on the list are joined/connected etc.

Warm bread is good bread!

Also nobody should be obligated to "respect the opinions" of bigots and generally hateful people. "Trans women are predatory men" is not an opinion. "Illegal immigrants should be put to detention camps" is not an opinion.

I think, that's from USA. Guys, you need the system in Europe. For a shopping you have to insert a 50 cent - 1 euro coin. Everybody will return it.

I had walked through the doorway, and saw an elderly man approaching. Naturally, I held the door open for him. He looked me up and down and said, "Thank you, sir." Placing my hand on his forearm, I gently said, "You need to book a sight test if you think I am a man." ....For some reason, it appears he took it as an affront to his masculinity that a woman would hold a door open for him. In my world, people hold doors open for others. (Edited to add: this man's sight was good enough for him to drive a car. He had a good look and me, and then chose to call me 'sir'. I'm a small woman with long hair, and I was wearing a summer dress. He chose to be rude and sexist.)

I could care less about this. Not by much, but I could care less.

For pasta French also cut the tails. There are some dishes, where the shrimps are the main protein, and must be shown, so they are with tails served. But in paste or rice dishes, where they are mixed with other ingredients, it's cut. You suppose to can eat the dish as full, and not search for unedible pieces in every bite.

You might be a giant

I sing that song every time I see or hear that name!

What a Byzantium comment.

It's important, because if you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam...

Anyone care to explain? Is this a song line?

TMBG played a concert at my tiny, single-sex, liberal arts college back in the late 90's. It was awesome, but I always wondered how they randomly ended up there performing in our English department building! It's not even in a major city either. Were they desperate by then? If so, I'm glad they were!! :)

I know that song!

Nobodies business but the Turks, that's what I think

omg me too lolol

And if they ask you why, you can tell them "That's nobody's business but the Turks."

I'm proud to be associated with you, Panda friend.

Growing up in the Orthodox Church, I would get this song stuck in my head every time that the Archbishop of Constantinople was mentioned.

Even old New York, was once new Amsterdam

I wonder what is hilarious about the comment "not Constantinople". I understand the downvotes; it is a rather well-known fact (I think/hope) that this was an earlier name of Istanbul. There even exists a song about the two names, my mother used to sing it sometimes

Even better: https://youtu.be/vsQrKZcYtqg?si=Sm39cdpIM2nm11v_

why .. what does this mean? Are they trolling?

Anybody else have that song stuck in their head now?

My humor also. Best horse to beat is a dead one...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wcze7EGorOk Always a head-bob!

That's always my first thought when I see or hear the word Istanbul.

I sang that just reading your post.

I think it's funny too

But it's been a long time gone.

Galata tower?

you will always have gen x love

Been a long time gone, Constantinople. Now a Turkish Delight on a moonlit night.

Think you're about a half millennium late, fellow panda.

And a slew is more than 10, while a shitload is anything over 25.

It's really funny, that native english speakers are the ones in like 90% of the cases, who are wrong with the english grammar. And not the ones for who, english is a second-third or more language.

Mandatory tipping in the US restaurants is the biggest one. Pay your servers a 25-30 bucks/hour, and pay your cooks a 30-35 bucks/hour at least. No, you don't have to raise prices, because with these hourly pays, the guest will pay likely the same amount as now with 20% tip "obligatory". Your greed will just loose. Don't even try me to shame into paying your staff!

HATE when restaurants do this. $11 for the burger, you want fries? $5 for plain fries...

Utensils at a buffet? Fancy.

What gets me are the people who see the long line up, keep driving all the way to the front and then try to force their way in.

Because people weirdly want to do away with people for some strange, self-damning reason.

Try to keep on with the everyday version, it's better for your mental health.
