25 Ways To Get Your Server To Hate You

1. Leave them a different type of “tip”

Source: complex.com
“My suggestion about their hairstyle is surely more valuable than their ability to pay the bills.”

2. Snap your fingers to get their attention.

They are dogs rather than human beings, after all.

3. Complain about your food after you’ve eaten all of it.

“It was so disgusting that I licked my plate.”

4. Tap them on the shoulder while they’re with another table.

“MY FIFTH SIDE OF KETCHUP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHER PEOPLE’S NEEDS.”

5. Hang out for an extra three hours after you’ve paid your bill

“And here’s an extra nickle for your time.”

6. Come in five minutes before the restaurant closes.

“It makes me feel like a special snowflake to know that so many workers can’t go home to their families for another two hours just because of me.”

7. Make lots of substitutions so the original item you ordered is unrecognizable.

“Can you ask the chef to find a way to combine the cheeseburger with the fettuccine alfredo? Oh, and no meat.”

8. Yell at them when your food is taking too long.

“You mean you don’t cook the food? AND I’m not the only person in the restaurant? WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE?”

9. Stay glued to your phone instead of deciding what you want to eat.

“You know the old saying: first tweet, then eat.”

10. Claim to know the owner and expect free food as a result.

“We went to high school together. Yeah, I was his ex-girlfriend’s neighbor’s cousin.”

11. Let your kid run around.

“She’s so cute when she dives between the servers’ legs while they’re carrying huge trays of hot food, isn’t she?”

12. Use your personal beliefs as an excuse for not tipping.

“Giving others a negative impression of my religion makes me feel powerful.”

13. Let your kids make the table look like a war zone.

“You’re right, sweetie. Pulverized dry cereal adds a lovely touch to this five-star eatery.”

14. Push your chair out really far so that no one can get past you.

“My extra leg room is definitely worth inconveniencing everyone else.”

15. Complain about your seats during a rush when there is clearly no other place for the staff to seat you.

“I am sure that the food tastes much better while it’s eaten at that booth rather than this booth.”

16. Pretend like you’re leaving a tip, but actually nah.

“WWJD? Probably nothing nearly this rude, but I enjoy giving him a bad name.”

17. Interrupt their introduction by stating your drink order.

“How are you?”
“Iced tea, no lemon.”
See, it’s funny because iced tea isn’t a state of being.

18. Make no effort to move your phone when they’re serving your food.

“It’s a trendy new game: If you touch my phone, I cut you. If you put the hot plate on my phone, I still cut you”

19. Call them over while you are still deciding what to order.

“Do you know why you came over here even though you knew I wasn’t ready? Because of my gravitational pull. I am the center of the universe.”

20. Give them a ‘verbal tip,’ but not a monetary one.

“Now they can pay for their groceries with ~*~love~*~.”

21. Make them get you one thing every time they come to your table instead of asking for them all at once.

“I don’t even like tartar sauce. I just want to see you run.”

22. Assume that they know you’re in a rush without saying a word to them.

“You’ll be back with the check in ‘just a minute?!’ We have a show to catch in forty-five seconds!”

23. Make no effort to move your body when they’re clearing or setting plates.

“It’s like an obstacle course, but with the added twist that I sue you if you get sauce on my new jacket.”

24. Try to make a political statement instead of leaving a tip.

“This will definitely prove that I am qualified to help choose the leader of our nation.”

25. Treat them like anything except what they are: a hard-working person trying to make an honest living.

17 Signs You Really Need A F@cking Day Off

Parks and Recreation
Parks and Recreation

1. You clicked on this post. (Hi.)

2. You were desperate enough to pass the time that you clicked on this post even though you have a strong distaste for posts like this. You can’t even respect yourself for reading this right now, but you’re going to finish it, because that’s where you are with life now. Who needs dignity? Not you!

3. You have started to resent every living thing around you, including cats. Most especially cats, actually. You have taken to focusing your rage on their leisurely lifestyle. You have said things to your cat like, “Oh, wouldn’t it be GREAT to be a CAT?! You just sleep and eat and shit all day. REAL DIFFICULT LIFE, SNIFFLES MCWHISKERSON!!!!!” (You are not okay. You are yelling at a cat.)

4. You’re hungover from last night’s happy hour which turned into closing down the bar because you are not really into facing the reality of your life right now, tbh.

5. You cannot remember the last time you were relaxed. Really, you have no recent recollection of being at ease in your life. Real quick think of like a relaxing meadow or something. Does that feeling of calm make you stressed out? Yeah, you’re not okay.

6. You’re about one instance of being micro managed away from losing it all together and quitting your life to go be a professional street juggler or some weird ass shit like that. (Don’t do that, though.)

7. The best part of your day today was eating your sad lunch on your sad lunch break for only one really sad hour. (Hopefully you got fries.)

8. Every part of your body hurts. Even your eyes burn. The space between your fingers aches. You’ve discovered new ligaments in your neck that now have knots on them. The mere act of being alive hurts you.

9. You are the exact embodiment of a person whose soul has been sucked from them. Everything in your life is soul-sucking. Your existence is soul-sucking. Just keeping your eyes open is soul-sucking.

10. You have a very strong sensation of needing a hug from your mom (or whoever in your life represents comfort). You may want to get a good cry going while you’re at it.

11. You haven’t showered in three or four days because you have been trying to sleep as much as you possibly can in the morning, so you’ve been hitting snooze five times minimum and rushing out the door. You also have forgotten breakfast so now you’re hungry all day and everything is sad.

12. You found this post on Facebook because you are on Facebook all the time now. Your life is Facebook. You’re even playing Farmville. (You’re better than that.)

13. Speaking of Facebook, you’ve taken to turning on the chat function and saying what’s up to people you haven’t talked to in like three years because you’re that bored and that burnt out. (Dude, Shelly from high school does not want to chill.)

14. You are willing yourself to get a cold so you have a legitimate reason to call in sick. Did you just lick the bathroom door handle? Gross, but your dedication is commended.

15. Every time you see a crying baby, you’re like, “What do you know of stress, sir? You know nothing of real problems! I could fill a small Koi pond with my tears! Oh, big deal, you have a poopy diaper. MY WHOLE LIFE IS A POOPY DIAPER.”

16. Opening up your email at the beginning of the day gives you so much rage that you feel like you’re about to turn in The Hulk and go smash up some shit.

17. You’re about to share this post and be like, “SO ME, DYINGGGGG.”

11 Gross Items Found In McDonald’s Food That Will Make You Sick

We already ate and loved our helping of Mcy D’s today, so we decided to post this after lunch. This has been a bad week for McDonald’s restaurants in Japan. That’s because after costumers found pieces of vinyl in Chicken McNuggets from two different locations, news reports started piling on of previous McHorror Stories. Vinyl McNuggets?   Whatever; everyone knows you only eat Hipster Japanese McNuggets on vinyl.

1. Vinyl Chicken McNuggets

McCustomers in Tokyo and Aomori got more than some nitrates when they ate an order of McNuggets; they got pieces of blue and white vinyl. Record scratch!  Both of the contaminated nuggs came from the same factory in Thailand. At least they are referring to it as “chicken.”

2. A Human Tooth

As if adding “human” to the word “tooth” makes it more horrifying, reports in Japan this week stated that a HUMAN tooth had been found in an order of French fries in August 2014. The restaurant reported that none of the staff at the location had lost any teeth.  Maybe Ronald McDonald is trying meth and losing his teeth?

3. A Piece Of Plastic

If you thought McDonald’s food tasted like plastic well than you aren’t going to want to try the ice cream sundae’s in Japan. That’s because a chunk of plastic fell off the machine and into the soft serve which got served to a 5 year old kid, injuring his mouth. Well that’s one way to get kids to eat healthier; early childhood trauma at a McDonalds.

4. A Metal Clasp

Nothing is better than an Egg McMuffin, some coffee and orange juice for a good old McyD’s breakfast. That’s why the most horrifying thing about this story is that someone at a Kyoto McDonald’s ordered the pancakes.  That and that they found a metal clasp cooked right into it. A little syrup and it might go down good with the sausage!

5. Uncooked Meat

I like my burger cooked medium- rare sometimes when I go to a fancy pants steak house and order the burger like the slob I am. That’s because I know they put cow’s meat in that there burger. However, when ordering off the pink slime menu it’s best to have that alien substance cooked well done.  This customer’s undercooked meat got thousands of retweets  You know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in Japan?  Raw pink slime with cheese.

6. Dentistry Fillings Metal

In Kagoshima last month a McDonalds served a batch of fries with dentistry fillings metal. Maybe this is the new Happy Meal toy that will help customers who ate a metal clasp or a piece of plastic at one of their locations.

7. A Beetle

No it wasn’t Ringo; an actual beetle was found cooked inside a hamburger in a Chiba, Japan location. Crunchy! As you can imagine not everyone is thrilled with the added ingredients to these fast food favorites. Employees of the beloved burger joint have even taken to calling McDonald’s Japan CEO Sarah Casanova as “angel of death” due to all of the bad publicity. Well, no one has died yet, so don’t oversell this guys! Japanese McDonald’s executives even held a press conference to apologize for all of the incidents.

 

 “Shame and dishonor” is normally what you feel after you eatMcDonald’s so welcome to the club!

8.  A Cockroach Found Stuck On Bottom Of McDonald’s Hash Brown

This would go nicely next to the metal clasp in the pancakes in Japan; a cockroach was found stuck to the bottom of a hash brown. I guess going into some McDonald’s is more Fear Factor than Diners, Drive-In’s and Dives.

9. A Nose Ring

A nose ring was found cooked inside an McDonald’s breakfast burrito in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m starting to think that McEmployees are tired when they get to work in the morning as a lot of these gross items are found in breakfast food.

10. A Rat

This past October we told you about a man in Fredericton, Canada who ordered a cup of coffee from his local McDonald’s only to get a not so happy treat at the bottom of his cup. He drank the entire cup of joe and when he opened the lid he discovered a dead rat in the bottom. Well at least he didn’t spill any on his crotch.

11. Chicken Head

 

Back in the year 2000, a woman in Virginia bought chicken wings from McDonalds. If you recall they tried serving chicken wings for a while and this might be the reason they stopped. She found a fully formed, battered and fried chicken head in the box.

What is the grossest thing you have ever discovered in your food?
