I Called In Sick Today

EDIT: Is it "counts" or "accounts"? I'm thinking it should say "accounts" now. Hmm...

I'm too busy looking at the avatar to think about this.

Good work on all three counts.EDIT: Is it "counts" or "accounts"? I'm thinking it should say "accounts" now. Hmm...

Not yet. I'm lazy.

I got my cupholders yesterday. We also stained the racetrack and glued the foam to the rail. The only thing left is the vinyl, which is proving to be a real *****. Unfortunately the table won't be ready for friday's hockey/poker night at my place.

Good work on all three counts.

DittoBizzle, i was surprised as well at the lack of support for your team and chalked it up to a couple of factors. 1. on the repost to many people are to lazy to take the time to see who's on which team. 2. alot of them see custom and just went with him. As for your team, I think it's wicked good and definately one of picks to run deep with this thing.Back on the tipping. I went to restaurant on a date. I explained to the waitress that it was an important occasion and to basically not take any more tables, just wait on us hand and foot and I'd make it worth her while. Then I proceeded to explain in detail the process.Go get two beers and bring them back. After you get back, go put in the appetizer order, grab two more beers and bring them to us. I will give you our food order then. After you turn it in, grab two more beers, etc... basically, if you have to think about whether or not to get beer, just do it.Well, after having to go to the bar twice, wrong appetizers and terrible service, never did get dinner. I hunted her down and found her playing grabass with a bus boy in the crowded bar area. I yelled real loud behind her, EXCUSE ME. She turned around and freaked out, everyone in the bar was looking at this point, and I proceeded to throw a $20 at her and said, "Honey, you phucked up, because this is what I tip for the worst phucking service in the world! You better have better phucking career plans, because you were are the worst waitress in the history of phucking waitresses."

I'm speechless. In a bad way.

restaurant story

That's the exact opposite of how I am. I don't request, much less demand, any special favors at a restaurant. And I don't try to embarrass others.

Especially considering that waiters and waitresses don't get to decide if they will take more tables or not (at least in most circumstances). They take the table or section they are assigned, regardless of how busy things are or who the customer is. The fact that she was screwing around with the busboy rather than do her job is another matter, but you can't walk into a restaurant expecting the staff to drop everything just to work for your tip. They work for the restaurant first, the customer second, and themselves third.

I would say I normally am too, very patient and understanding, but it was an anniversary I wanted it to go well, and thusly explained. As pointed out, I didn't walk out without paying either, but I did get my point across. (And some satisfaction).

Yeah, that was pretty rude, Randy.

Oh Geez, let me rephrase it then.Go get two beers and bring them back. After you get back, go put in the appetizer order, grab two more beers and bring them to us. I will give you our food order then. After you turn it in, grab two more beers, etc... basically, if you have to think about whether or not to get beer, just do it.Is this okay? Do you have time for this? Can I expect any type of problem? If you are too busy, let me know and I'll understand, but it's our anniversary and we plan on having a blast here and I'll make your night's work worth it, k?

[Hobbes 1]

It was one of my friends birthday one night and he wanted to go to this nice Indian restaurant. There was eight of us and nobody had ever been there. We get there and they have one of those menus with no prices on it, which should've been a clue. We didn't care though because the food was really, really good. Get to the end of the night and we get the bill. $660. Plus the service was excellent, so we're looking at paying $800 split seven ways. OK, that's more than we were expecting, but we were in good spirits, so whatever. One guy offers to put it on his card and we'll square up later. "Cash only." We took turns going to the ATM.

Is that really how you phrased it? Either way, yelling in a crowded bar is embarrassing for everyone involved (wasn't your date mortified?). You should've just gotten the manager to get your dinner served and given a $0.01 tip.edit: obviously it's none of my business and you can do what you want...you know what i mean

I still don't know why you felt the need to humiliate her in front of everyone like that.

Bradburn being cheap story of the day:We're at Kilroy's (a bar in Bloomington) and it's ridiculously crowded as always. I see this hottie trying to get up to the bar but there's no way that's going to happen. "You trying to get a drink?" "Yeah, it's impossible." I know the bartender (not from somewhere else, just from being in there 4 nights a week) so I call her name, ask the girl what she wants, and grab it for her.The bartender tells me it's $3.50, which I then go on to tell the girl. She looks confused, thinking I was going to buy the drink for her as my friends start cracking up all around. I should mention that I'm shitfaced at this point. She throws a 5 down, I think I apologize, and somehow bring her home (no idea, I was pretty blacked out) that night but turn down an attempted handjob.I'm usually pretty generous when it comes to buying rounds for my friends, but in my mind I was doing a favor for her just getting the bartender's attention. Needless to say my friends bring this up every time I talk to a girl in a bar now.

Bradburn being cheap story of the day:

That's pretty funny...I wish I could've seen the look on her face.So why would you take her home and turn down a handjob? Did you just want to spoon or something?

[Naked_Cowboy 0]

I'll never publicly embarass a waiter, but I once tipped $ .17 (not to round to anything, i think it made the bill end in .63) and wrote "Get a new job" on the receipt.

Now that I like. Only if the waiter is REALLY bad...and rude.

Seriously though...

I am reminded by our current discussion of the scene at the beginning of Reservoir Dogs­.

[Naked_Cowboy 0]

took him 15 minute to get us water and chips / salsa (medium priced tex mex place) without an apology. when we got the water, they were the only waters in the entire restaurant without lemons in them - despite having requested extra lemon. it only went downhill from there.

J-Brad made some girl go home and cut herself

That's pretty funny, you should have told this one during the "Clueless Oblivious" series of posts.

You mean the discussion of "Like a Virgin"? That's what your sig reminds me of.

Bradburn being cheap and turning down a miracle handjob story

Clearly, Bradburn has not gotten any better at this.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Very nicely done. You made a post similar to this in General about nine months back. It was equally hilarious. I joined the next day. You're my hero.

I remember that post and I was more proud of it than this one. I am a little flattered that you remembered that post from a long time ago. A little concerned as well. Thanks for the props.

Sums my thoughts up perfectly. Rough Randy, but I will forever be fond of you for being the uncomfortable older car salesman that tried to take a picture of a hot girl.
