Getting some take-out from Houston's.

Way too expensive, for less than that you can get two liters of vodka

Sometimes when I'm in line and the person ahead of me has more than 10 items I think about winding up and punching them as hard as I can right in the spot where the neck connects to the skull.

My pet peeve is when the person in front of my refuses to put their item on the conveyor belt, they hold onto their can of beans for dear life ... in the meantime my shopping basket is getting heavy and I would like to put MY items on the conveyor belt.

Eventually I get tired of waiting, put my items on the belt and the cashier moves the belt forward and starts ringing up my items ... in the meantime the person in front of me is still clutching her can of beans like she is afraid a gang of pirates is going to steal her beans.

The supermarket needs to put up signs that say "Please Place Items On Conveyor Belt" cause some people just don't get it.

Too much of a lady's drink for my tastes.

I'll bow my head and close my eyes while someone says grace but to make up for it I think wicked thoughts.

Top bun seems like a lot of bread

I generally don't put money in jars, if it is a situation where I tip I hand the money to the person I am tipping (or hand the credit card slip to them).

The very presence of the jar tells you "This is not a normal tipping situation," cause if it was a normal tipping situation, they wouldn't need the jar ... there is no tip jar on your table in a restaurant.

I make exceptions for places open on Thanksgiving or Christmas, then I'll put some money in the jar.

I prefer greasy with lots of cheese and no toppings, sits better in the stomach

Paleo tends to be a version of low carb, imo it's good for losing weight but once you are physically active I think it is necessary to eat more starch for energy.

A tipping thread!

I tip 10% on carry out in a RESTAURANT, if it's just a counter (i.e. carry out is all they do) then I don't tip.

If it has not come back to life in 3 days go ahead and bury it

When I was young me and my college roommate went on a 1,000 mile road trip, along the way there was nothing to eat but McDonalds and we got some McNuggets, it was nothing but horrible gas the rest of the way, we were scheduled to spend the night at a friend's house but decided there was no way we could present ourselves given our condition, you can't very well spend the night at someone's home and stink up the joint, we bought some Malox tablets and ate 10 or 12 of them, it did the trick though we felt out of sorts for days afterwards.
