GM's thread about nothing (24 Viewers)

I checked a coat last night for the first time in my life. Tipped the guy 3 bucks as he took my coat, nothing when I got it at the end of the night. Felt awkward during both transactions. What is the typical protocol here?

Tip at the end.
This is what I thought, but as we were handing our coats over, he was explaining "what ever we felt was fair to us, was fair to him".To make matters worse, after I checked my coat and gave him money, I turned to wash my hands where he gave me soap and a towel. Felt obligated to throw another buck into his tip jar there. I am an admitted overtipper, but it just seemed strange to be throwing that many singles around in that short of time without naked bewbs in my face.

You've never checked a coat? FOR serious?

I would have told him that what was fair was for you to tip at the end just like the good lord intended. But I'm pregnant and irritable.

I don't understand what happened while I was out to dinner.
COlin pretended like he did something around here to draw a paycheck.
:lmao:Was just trying to slow down any age-of-consent-in-south-America-sex-trafficking conversation as it upset one of our pregnant members. It appears there was a misunderstanding. Everyone carry on...
My god, are you always this confused?

We're lucky he didn't accidentally hit "delete thread" instead of "reply". Again.

For serious. Living in Texas you don't need a coat often. Being middle class, I don't go to many fancy places. So in 2012 I have now checked a coat for the first time, smoked a cigar for the first time, and tried weed for the first (and second time). I'm getting all growns up.
How were the Burning Hotels?Didn't know HoB had a coatcheck. Seems very Dallas-y.
Burning Hotels was amazing. Great 45 min set. Extremely talented live and a fun show. I might become a bit groupie and just follow them around DFW for a while. Felt bad for them, someone stole all their merch so they had nothing to sell at the show. I don't know about the upstairs seating, but the lower GA area was pretty much full up to the bar by the time they were finished, over half full when they started so it was a good crowd supporting them and an even better crowd exposed to them by the end of their set.Bloc Party was amazing. Each guy super talented at their instrument and insane stage presence by the lead singer.But, holy hell, was it Hipster central there last night. Maybe I should just embrace it and go for it. My beard is coming in nicely.
 
Carmen is here cleaning. I gave her $20. She looked at me like I'm an idiot (she's right). She speaks no English and my Spanish is pathetic. I'm down to typing questions into my translate app but I'm not sure she can read. Krista?

She can read. (Your assumption wasn't a bad one, though--many people there cannot.) Just tell her it's a propina.

Take it out...
I think Call of Duty is the proper play.
Agreed... :thumbup:
Have no idea what any of this means. Don't want to offend her asking if she can read. She seemed confused when I used the translate app

Call of Duty is an aphrodisiac

This is my favorite thread to just pop into once a week or two. Like 8 conversations going on at once and impossible to understand what the hell is happening, but still :popcorn:
Feel free to join in, Oat. Seems like everyone besides me, Cosjobs, and magicspacehair are married dudes with young(ish) kids.Plus I want to hear more about the bond business and your cousin-in-law Tom Buchanan.
:sadbanana:
Sorry. I consider your dog/rocket launcher your child.
 
Speaking of malls, I need a couple of personalized tchotchkes for shtick purposes. A mug or whatever with a certain phrase etched on it. Is this something one can still get from a mall?

I actually think it's been two years since I was last in a mall.

Thank God that got cleared up.....I don't wanna venture anywhere else, this thread is my woobie...
:lmao: at "woobie".Uruk, his wife is in her 30s. I covered this in my earlier post that you apparently missed/didn't read.
Then I'm shuked. This woman could have been in her 30s I guess. She introduced me to her mother who I assumed was Steves wife. Then Steve stuck his head out and said hi. I will say this: whoever she is she has a lot of gentlemen stop by to see her.
SensiJackpot!

I'll take this question: Yes!

"WORLD'S #####IEST BOSS"?
:lmao:I had not really considered the potential here. I might have to get some extras for certain people. What's the worst that could happen if I were found out? I'd get fired? Awesome.

Just "had dinner" at rock bottom, which is a very fitting name. 6 people ordered food. All 6 sent back their food, twice. Horrible... Been a long time since I've had this bad an experience in a "restaurant".
sorry I missed that.
