LawTalkers - A sad, constant bid for attention

Because you are either so clearly superior in every way, or full of crap.

I'm talking about casual, take out restaurants where there is no tipping, where I am not a regular (therefore, they don't know how mean I am), where the person from whom one orders is not the person who makes the food and the communication is computerized (hence, even if I scowl at the person taking my order and look with scorn at the tip cup and just come across generally as a nontipping mean old bitch, the order taker does not have a chance to tell the food preparer to disregard my unreasonable demands), if the person making the order gets it wrong before I've even paid, let alone had (or declined) the opportunity to tip , it's got nothing to do with me, except for the fact that the universe is clearly out to get me.

You're just egging the universe on. Don't go to these places.

And I think they can figure out how mean you are without knowing you -- there are clues!

I hate it when people do this. You don't NEED 18 napkins. Take 2. If you need another, get up and get it. When did we become so wasteful?

I grab a few every morning in Starbucks.

I do these things you mention above. Except I am unsure who the Queen of fucking Monaco is. Princess Stephanie? Grace Kelly? Prince Albert? (ouch).

Maybe I am whiffing.

Monaco is a Principality - there are Princes and Princesses, No Queens.

Theoretically, the Queen of France would also be the Queen of Monaco (kind of like England and Canada), except there isn't one of those either.

What happened to all the Queens?

Aren't you responsible for our permanent records here? Just don't write it down.

I tip lower as a result, because I realize they calculate the percentages off of the after-tax amount, and only ratchet up from 15%. So I go back to do it myself more carefully. I'm like Thurgreed that way, except instead of killing trees, I just waste mental energy.

Thank you, but no one questioned you on slut.

Oh yeah, I forgot, it was Canada Day last week (hi gwinky!). At the football game, we honored our neighbor to the north by singing Oh Canada before the game and dragging 100 bagpipers over the border.

Fuck you too. Now I'm taking 19.

And it's better having more than too few when you need them.

15%? wow. If I do tip on a credit card charge, I'll add 2 bucks top. No 15%.

Solution: just line cut those assjack people. Chances are I'll be done while assjack is still arguing about his chipotle yellowfin california dilljack sandwich.
