    Is it just me... maybe it is, maybe not. I can say with complete honesty it didn't disturb me at all. Not one bit.
    I have high levels of empathy to the point where my doctor and psychiatrist have slid from "total non-believer" to "well... maybe" in terms of whether it's possible to be an Empath.

    So watching/discovering something like that makes me feel and experience "shadows" of what the characters may be experiencing. So, taking that into account... yeah. :/

    It's so I can get ideas out of my head, I decided to put it in a blog in case people are bored or are curious as to the (many) things in progress.

      Here's a question that I always worry about when I'm ordering pizza online and paying with a card. It gives me the option to tip via the card, but I'm somewhat paranoid in thinking that the tip will end up either not going to the driver or not going completely to the driver like I want.

      So I typically pay tip in cash and everything else on card... Anyone tell me if the driver will get a tip I pay on my card?
      As someone who's done delivery for both Pizza Hut (2004) and Papa John's (2005), let me say that yes, at least as of back then, we got every penny of the tips for our own deliveries

        I can vouch for the latter...at least. "back then" ^_^;>

        Note that the delivery fee goes to the store, not the driver.

          I don't think I'm empathic, but I do find such movies/scenes hideously distressing in a 'what if it were me' way.
          Heck, I shudder at scenes that are just embarassing for the characters involved, and usually end up leaving the room. For a reference point: A (best friend) tried to get me to watch Spiderman, and promised me it gets better when they get past the high school part. Well... we ended up shutting it off before then, because I just couldn't cope.

          Now.. Alien/s? No problem. But a simple high school teen drama? Shudderingly awful. Weird, huh?

            Along with the squicked by "what if that were me" crowd, I actually had to stop watching the second Nightmare on Elm Street movie because of that.

            Somehow, HC is just too... outlandish for me to even be remotely squicked by it.

              You must be a total monster; that movie was utterly disturbing... I mean of course, the terrible script and the even more awful acting. I've read rotton.com for frick's sake, and I've got several books with post mortem photos. I have a very strong stomach. XD I just remember screaming abuse at "middle part" for being so unbelievably stupid, then switching off in disgust. If I want to watch a film with bad acting, I watch something like Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park which is so bad it's funny.

              Back to the OP; silly, of course SCs don't read! When I worked at the pizza place, internet ordering didn't exist back then, but it used to be a recurring theme where people would inexplicably think that all pizza places do every permutation of pizza. For example:

              SC: I'd like a stuffed crust.
              Me: Um, we don't do that.
              SC: What? But it says right here on your menu that you do!

              Basically, SC has hold of a Pizza Hut menu and can't read.

                Even KISS said that movie sucked big rocks.

                Yeah the same thing happens at my PH as we have an expanded wing selection. NOW there are like 3 or 4 WING specific places in my town with far more wing sauses than we offer. Customers call in wanting <flavor> or <other flavor> for their wings. The problem is that those flavors are FOR the wing specific places not my PH.

                The problem is that 1 or 2 of the wing specific places have names very close to the wings we offer.

                  Always read the fine print. Otherwise, this might be your fate . . . .

                  And more on topic regarding tips. We have several factories with house accounts. A favorite stiffing ploy of the pizza recipients was to say that they would put the tip on the requisition form. Really? Your company is buying your lunch for you and your twenty co-workers and you can't all come up with a quarter apiece or something? And, of course, I NEVER saw a penny of a "house account tip-out." (Whether they didn't bother, or it just stayed on the business' side of the ledger, I don't know.)

                    I may be missing something (either because it's 7 am, I'm an idiot, or I'm just missing it), but what movie are y'all talking about?
