I don't understand how people "bite" their nails. I never really got how to bite them off

Statikk HDM 10-20-2006 06:08 PM

You make sure your feet are clen, then you bend down and put your leg in a sitting crossed position. Then you bite. It reminds me of another thing I did as a young lad, but this is a family site.

You know, that sort of this really puts people off their soup. Especially if you do it in restaurants. Especially if your clippings manage to ping around the room (when biting them? I've seen it done).

Statikk HDM 10-20-2006 07:04 PM

Who would clip their toenails in a restaurant? Who is that stupid?
Whats the followup for that? Trimming your pubes?

Abeguy 10-20-2006 08:20 PM

lol, probably...

Bullet Magnet 10-21-2006 04:32 AM

Well, if you're rude to your waiter...

Statikk HDM 10-21-2006 09:36 AM

I take great pleasure in knowing that at a restaurant I won't be going to again for years, perhaps ever, I can stiff the waitresses and not suffer at all. This one time I persuaded a group of of about 20 people not to tip on the buffet at a Pizza Hut. Not everything must be tipped in my opinion but apparently this is a big social no-no, a real "dick move".

Come to New Zealand. We don't have tipping here.

Statikk HDM 10-21-2006 05:26 PM

Yeah, but don't you guys make a mandatory tip on top of the bill? A restaurant around here does that and if they didn't have great chicken and ribs I wouldn't eat there.

But tips are how the waiters/waitresses make their money. It's most definitely rude not to tip your server if he treated you well yet he only made a little over $1 in that half hour that he served you. If you could easily afford where you were eating, it wouldn't hurt you to show some courtesy and give the guy a decent tip.

My guilty pleasure I guess would be listening to Sufjan Stevens as his music is technically categorized as Christian music. Aaaw, fuck it. I don't feel guilty about it. He's a genius and I love his music. I don't care if he subscribes to a creed that I don't. His lyrics and music are both just plain beautifull.

Abeguy 10-22-2006 04:01 PM

OANST listening to christian music...rofl...


that's phucking hilarious

OANST 10-22-2006 04:56 PM

That's why I put it as a guilty pleasure. I knew that's the response I would get.

Abeguy 10-22-2006 07:32 PM

well, I didn't want to disappoint you, so there.

...*snicker*

In some well organised countries, waiters are actually paid a wage (How shocking!!). If you particularly enjoyed the service you can put a tip on top but it's not necessary or expected. Sure, it means your food is ostensibly more expensive but you end up paying the same amount anyway without the risk for the waiter and the mental calculation for the patron.

Statikk HDM 10-23-2006 07:16 AM

If I know for a fact that a waiter is getting minimum wage or better they can go get ****ed. And this belief that the average waiter or waitress is ome nobly struggling individual who should get paid 8 bucks and hour to bring out premade plates of food is ridiculous. And **** all restaurants that put that sneaky "gratuity" shit on the bill. The tip is To. Insure. Proper. Service. The customer should decide whats proper, not the stingy douchebag running the place. Okay, glad thats off my chest. For about the 3rd time.

I wouldn't even take a job as a waiter if I didn't get paid properly by the people who actually employ you.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention a REALLY guilty pleasure. Guys (and girls), please don't call me a pervert, but for some reason looking at furry art (NOT the questionable kinds!!) feels like a guilty pleasure for me...I dunno.

Havoc 10-25-2006 12:23 AM

But the questionable kinds are the best out there! :p.

Statikk HDM 10-25-2006 05:29 AM

Yiffing bastards.

Havoc 10-25-2006 06:22 AM

Oh you know you like it XD
