Wes: I am in full agreement with you. 99% of these thieves don't care at all as to who they rob and what effect their loss has on them.

And churches get robbed all the time. The ones here in Chicago are sometimes locked with thick metal chains, and the richer churches have ADT systems installed. It's not because they think the signs are cute, it's because some people are just deprived enough to rob a church.

Oh let me give you a great example of someone who goes to work, gets the job done, and gets paid big money regardless of their problems.

Went to Denny's once. Packed house, one waitress. She was CLEARLY tired and exhausted, saw her taking meds behind the counter (probably for a headache). Maybe she has kids at home that she's trying to put through school/college, maybe one of them (or more) is an ungrateful dbag of a teenager, maybe she's a single mom, and she probably has bills to pay. Well that didn't bother her because she was serving the entire restaurant of 50+ people, talking with her customers, getting the orders right, doing everything in a timely fashion, with a SMILE. That's how you get an exceptional tip.

Considering my group's generous tip combined with the tips of everyone else, I bet you she made some nice bank that day.

Aren't those all perfectly good excuses for her to slack off? What if she had, how much should I tip her for her crappy service? Is it MY fault that she's having a tough time over there? And if it isn't my fault, why should I be the one that has to pay for it?

If there is crappy service, and a mandatory tip, there's a deficit in value there. Someone has to pay for it. Why the customer if they arrived AFTER the circumstances which caused the crappy service?

"PLAUSIBLE reasons beyond the server's control that could adversely effect service."

Don't care. At All. Period. You get paid for the service you do. That's the end of it. Just like there are no excuses for me not to do my work. I go to work, do my job, and get paid. If I don't, I don't get paid.

"i'd be willing to bet my house that you've eaten something that's been dropped on a nasty kitchen floor"

Because it happens doesn't mean it should. If I catch someone doing that, they're facing the consequences. There's no "aw well I bet it has happened before" happy ending for them.

"be respectful of 'those people' who prepare your food behind closed doors"

Oh, I see, *I* have to be respectful, but they don't have to be. Great, more double standards. We need more of those.

Your dog died? Seriously? You're supposed to be a professional. Leave the emotional baggage at the door and do your job. If only I was allowed to do the same at my work. "Hey punk, I'm not fixing your computer, I had a fight with my gf." Yeah that would be nice, wouldn't it? I can't believe you have the audacity to make excuses for these people. They don't have leeway to slack off at work.

"and never forget that you are trusting these folks with the preparation of your food"

Oh yes, please do spit on my food. Because when you get caught, your tip will be the least of your worries. Hell, I'll even triple the tip to help out with your legal expenses.

This mandatory minimum tip thing is such a scam. The tip is meant to reflect their work. If their work ethic is lousy, you give them a lousy tip. End of. If their work is exceptional, then you leave an exceptional tip. Easy to understand, yes?

Wow mice in the power supply! Worst I've seen is cockroaches. Live cockroaches.

Wasn't google planning to use goats on their property? And I do know that Leo from the TWIT network had goats in the past. It's a good solution to the problem.

Down in Mexico, we make birria out of them. :)

h-dog, huh? Sounds like someone is a bit jealous.

Pretty cute, though.

I thought "why is it that" is pretty hilarious. It's all elementary until google busts out the peptide hormones.

The bird wanted his bread toasted.

Damn, some of you cover every inch of your house on a daily basis, don't you?

The story says the child placed the notes "in between CD cases, between bookshelves, in dresser drawers, in backpacks"

I'm sure there are numerous dressers and backpacks you don't go through all that often, and everything else is perfectly plausible seeing as nobody uses CDs anymore and going between bookshelves is odd for someone that doesn't clean that thoroughly.

The 135 days convert to about 4 1/2 months, and it's possible that the doc may have said something like "she has 4, maybe 5 months" but the parents put it down to 135 days. Either way, doctors often give estimates. That's why people are always saying they were given so-and-so many months of life left. They're all estimates. I'm sure the doctor didn't say "your daughter has 135 days left, exactly."

It's very low to make these accusations without knowing anything about the parents. And it's very very low and despicable to imply greed when they are donating the money.

NO!! Bad, bad, bad!

Otherwise, pretty good stuff.

Aw damn that was sweet!

Any knowledge is neat. Suffering sucks, but ignoring it and not learning from it sucks even more.

I had never herd of the metal bull form of punishment. hat one sounds just absolutely brutal. It's even worse than burning at the stake because you're isolated all by yourself and left to think only about the pain.

I don't care what penis materials are on this or what kind of coating is on the window (this includes penis coating)..with a name like "Prombron" this is NOT a bad ass car.
