@pkpled@JxxSucculent My parents and I were chased down the street by a restaurant manager in the US because we left a $1 tip for some of the worst service we've ever had (rude, surly, wrong dishes, plates dropped on the table, etc).
When it's "mandatory" tipping, it's not an incentive.
First day at new job: got to train station 90min early so I could be relaxed, only to find out all the trains are canned due to "urgent trackwork" at the other end of the line.
Made a mad dash to a 2nd station (different line), ran from car, & just made train the train.
@SydneySeaKings If the Aussies go up, you better be on a chair screaming "AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE" 🤣🤣🤣
I would say "do the Trump chants the Aussies did up in Canada", but you'll get deported, cause... Florida.
How in God’s name is USA playing at noon tomorrow?
The amount of bars & restaurants that get totally screwed by that kick being midday instead of Friday night is ridiculous.
FIFA really does suck. I can’t believe the TV partners are cool with that decision either.
@SydneySeaKings And you get a public holiday?
I gotta get up at 5, and then take The Toddler to dancing at 8:30am, and then go shopping for storage for the shed.
You all will be three sheets to the wind starting from midday, and into a nice relaxed evening.
I have seen a video posted of Maradonna on here scoring a goal and a coach running out, not with a water bottle, but offering the back of his hand, which Maradonna then lent to sniff.
Maybe it was smelling salts...
@WUTangKids How are the young Scots handling the "must be 21 and over to drink" rules in the US?
Considering most of them have probably been drinking since 15...
I explained that Mummy and Daddy both have to go to work, but that when she got home we'd do painting and watch princesses.
She said (really sadly) "no... Daddy work" and started tears down her face.
And now I feel like a terrible human. 😢
So, starting a new job next week (hopefully) so been getting The Toddler into the habit of Daddy dropping her to preschool.
This morning when I said I had to "go to work", she said no, that Daddy did that & I dropped her off.
Hubby (proudly) wore a Heat jersey to a Celtics home game, which the Celtics lost by 2, and judging by the fans around us, I thought I'd have to add a visit to a US emergency room to our trip, but the worst he got was a "hey, f**k you" and a middle finger.
I’ve been to a million Celtics/Heat games in Miami, wearing all Celtics gear. The biggest organic rivalry in the NBA the last 15 years. True sports hatred. Big playoff games, buzzer beaters and elimination games. No one ever bothered me. Walked the streets of Miami and felt completely safe. This isn’t a sports thing. NYC is just filled with the most vile, gutter, ghetto trash. They deserve nothing but the worst
@WUTangKids I was going to post under the original post "still better than Ray-gun".
As a nation, we're really sorry that was inflicted upon the world.
