      The world is full of d-bags. Took my son to McDonald's yesterday and some dude who looked like he was on steroids was at the counter returning a burger, which I presume had a hair on it, or some such thing. He wanted a new one made for him, which is fair, but then proceeds to tell the cashier, "what are you gonna do for me since i've been inconvenienced? A chocolate shake would be fair. I mean, I'm no cheapskate; i've got $3000 in the bank and $100 cash on me right now."

      I don't get how some people are so entitled. He says he's not a cheapskate but then asks for a free shake which is the very definition of being a cheapskate. And he takes it out on the cashier who's not making enough money to put up with his crap.  ::)

        Working at McDonald’s is something every young person should do. It makes you quite driven to do (or not do) whatever is needed to not work there ever again.

            That's why I would never move to a big City. You just get more d-bags in industrial quantities

                  @UnTucked  you are 100% allowed to ask her to keep it down. If you want to of course. But that’s a breach of etiquette on her part. Let em tip bro.

                  Maybe so. Maybe not

                      Read an article about torchys being awesome. But a long wait can ruin anything.

                        The one at Basse has gottn hit or miss on food quality. I talked to the manager about it Tuesday after sending the queso back 3 times for being cold. and the Brushfire taco’s NOT having any jalepeno’s on them. 🤦

                        one more trip like the last and i’m done.

                          Yup, that's the one.

                          45 minutes to get a couple of cheese quesadillas.

                            She should have been chastised. Severely. At movies I've stood and bellowed STFU and it works like a charm.

                              Moved into our new house three weeks ago. Seller renovated from the studs and redid the foundation as well as installed a french drain to keep water out.

                              Last night, during Hurricane Gordon, our downstairs flooded with water over 700+ square feet of brand new flooring.

                              Not sure weather to cry, scream, or just give up.

                              So im currently drinking a beer at the cafe around the corner…

                                man, sorry to hear. Will insurance cover the damage?

                                  @Appfaff forgive me for being trite, but it will pass.

                                  When we moved from the Blizzard of 79 in Chicago into the Easter Flood, our brand-new, supposedly non-floodplain house was underwater–we hadn't even moved in yet.

                                  Somehow, some way we got through it, even though it was devastating at the time.

                                  Gonna be a huge pain in the ass, but you'll come out the other side just fine!

                                  Think it, be it.

                                      Thanks guys - my insurance agent knows if they screw me over I’ll never send a single client to them in the future, so they have been easy going this far. One benefit of being a realtor in a small town.

                                      It will get fixed I’m sure, but we are beyond pissed. Thankfully I have the top pros in the area working to ensure nothing like this happens again.

                                      I don’t even have a damn fridge upstairs yet, where will I keep my beer? Lol

                                      Thankful for neighborhood bistros
