I have personal space, respect it

[PepperElf]

that's what I was thinking too. Way to tip off the pickpockets!



And not on purpose but... sometimes I have a habit of changing my mind and turning around by backing up first. Needless to say anyone who's trying to butt-walk on me gets a big surprise when I start walking backwards a few steps.

If somebody gets too close you can always scream, "OWWW!" or "STOP TOUCHING MY ASS!"

Most people would back off pretty fast.

Ugh, I have had the worst time with this issue. I'm originally from a large city in the PNW where no one makes eye contact or invades other people's personal space. Ever since I moved to the Midwest three years ago I've had to adjust to actually saying hello to complete strangers on the street and people in checkout lines who think standing less than a foot from me while I enter my PIN is completely okay. I'm a very non-confrontational person most of the time, but lately there have been a few occasions where I've gotten downright snippy in order to get people to back off at the checkout counter.

For some reason these people are always there to buy a single 24 oz can of Miller Blue Ice. Ew.

Is "Miller Blue Ice" in any way related to the "blue ice" that sometimes falls off airliners?

Not until after you drink it and it comes back out again

Um, it's Miller. Yes, it is related before drinking it. Save the time, pour it back in the horse.

You handled that perfectly. I had a super creepy guy REALLY close to me at a grocery store and I had to throw my entire body (practically) over the debit machine to cover my pin. I was too scared to tell him to back off cuz I was alone and it was at night in a not so great part of town. I tried to catch the cashier's eye but she looked everywhere but at me. I HATE it when people are in MY bubble!

I mentioned to my mother the old quote "You never buy cheap beer, you just rent it for a little while." and she thought it was the most hilarious thing she ever heard...

[firecat88]

If anyone did that to me, the joke would be kinda on them. See, the tip bars on my chair stick out a bit, so if someone was practically leaning on me and I happened to back up, said tip bars would attack the person's shins. >.>

Fart. Loudly. Just make sure it's not a toddler behind you or they will run off shrieking 'Mummy that fat lady butt smells like dad's butt trumpet'. Sent half the footpath into hysterics.

Damn short kids. You never see the quiet ones.

My city is getting a Panda Express. It should open later this year.....I live in Fast Food Valhalla.

We finally got one earlier in the year, right next door to our first non-mall CFA. Took over the spot that had once held a Super Popeyes (nicer Popeyes with much more variety - grilled, fried, rotisserie chicken, proper side dishes and a nicer atmosphere, etc) that had gotten trashed by Katrina.

[AmbrosiaWriter]

*snippity* that had gotten trashed by Katrina.

I totally read this as "by Krishna" and went

I then re-read it and was all *has a disappoint.*

I wish there was a panda express closer to me than the mall. I don't want to go to a mall just to go to the food court, especially when it's a +20-30 minute drive away. I'll drive that far for Clam Box (OMG FRIED WHOLE BELLY CLAMS) but not fast food, no matter how much I'm craving it lol. (Only exception is Qdoba, and that's only because it's a quick hop onto the highway and straight shot.)

I hate when people get all up in my grill at Qdoba though. Seriously, until you are talking to the server, you do NOT need to have your face pressed into the sneeze guard. Especially at places like Panda Express where people like that always end up doing the "Can I try the XXX?" for at least four different dishes before deciding on something they didn't taste test.

Reminds me of a mate who relishes in telling the tale of farting on an airplane and this resulted in a five-year-old crying in the seat in front.

"But mummy, it smells!"

that's like me but in regards to Bud. Seriously I'll turn that shit down even if it's free. And IPA.

I love the Orange Chicken there, and if the bottle of the sauce wasn't so danged expensive, I'd buy one.

Recipe for PA Orange Chicken & sauce!


the sauce itself is pretty simple actually, just soysauce, water, sugar, white vinegar, and orange zest. or this version is at least.

That's pretty much my opinion of any beer that can be seen through. Palest I'll get is Killians. Choice? McEwan's Irish Stout.

Although if you want to be safe, find me a good sweet hard cider. Much preferred.
