Him, mid twenties, fresh out of college, first proper job in his life. Thinks he's seen it all and knows it all, just appropriate for him to make blanket, stereotypical comments about an entire industry.

We've all been there, myself included. But please: try and don't be that kind of person. It's really, really embarrassing.

Daughter has reached the age of asking "why?" to everything.

You know what we need to bring back? Tunics. They’re a better summer option than either shorts or dresses because 1) shorts are nonsense wear and 2) not everyone wants to wear a dress, but a tunic combines the chill androgyny of shorts with the nether-ventilation of dresses.

Whoever heard of a server needing maintenance? Ridiculous
