Commander Shepard Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Whenever I have to write things done, I have to turn the paper almost completely sideways to write. If I can't turn the paper, like signing electronically, I position myself so the writer is sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. GOH! Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Something about what it does to abs is bad. It also distends the back apparently and can lead to back problems. One of my friends had to spend 9 months in a neck brace because of the damage he did to his back sleeping on his stomach. He just woke up one morning and his left side was numb. He was 27 and in very good shape. I used to sleep on my stomach, but I injured my back by carrying my 120 lbs of law books in a messenger bag for a year. I trained myself to sleep on my side to avoid waking up stiff and sore every morning. Plus sleeping on your left side is best for your digestion. I sleep on my tummy and cross my legs whenever I sit down! Whenever I see a man cross his legs when sitting down I cringe. I know theoretically that it can be done without squishing important things, but it's not worth the risk. Edited January 30, 2011 by Mr. GOH!

CorgiShinobi Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I sleep on my tummy and cross my legs whenever I sit down! Whenever I see a man cross his legs when sitting down I cringe. I know theoretically that it can be done without squishing important things, but it's not worth the risk. I do the man variant of crossing legs: resting the leg on the other leg's knee. I use to sit with both of my legs up and crossed, but my 4th grade teacher absolutely hated it and "taught me proper." It was really more of a habit than a preference, and so it wasn't hard to get in trouble. Of all the things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hah. Snap Thursday on the Pub living and the consequent bar habits. Didn't know returning glasses to the bar was considered weird in US though. The plate stacking is, I think considered more weird. The glasses thing, just less than usual. The returning glasses thing, I think some staff find it a bit... rude perhaps? Like they infer that I am saying "You should have cleared the glasses from my table, now I have to do it." as opposed to "As I am going to the bar to get more drinks, I may as well take the empty ones up there with me."

deanb Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 While I was at home I mentioned it to my step-dad. He said it's more than likely due to waiters n glass collectors mostly working for a tip. You're doing their job for them and therefore less likely to leave a tip. Not like we're known for our generous tips anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I stack the plates and clean my table most of the time when I eat out. I used to work as a bus boy so I sort of lend a hand. I hug a pillow when i sleep. Its sad. Im so lonely............ I snug a comforter. I like the snuggly feeling... what are you all looking at? :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I hug a pillow when i sleep. Its sad. Im so lonely............ I do the same thing in my sleep. Sometimes I also do the covers over my head thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Next Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Not like we're known for our generous tips anyway Which, incidentally is a load of crap. I will tip a minimum of 10% even if service is distinctly ordinary. If you want a huge tip then you need to do something beyond taking my order, dropping off my food and clearing the decks, your employer already pays you to do that, I'm not going to. Doing something to stand out, like a personal recommendation on what is good to eat there (not the robotic version where you've been told to upsell whatever crap is going out of date). Checking if I need a refill when I'm down to the last 25% of my drink (not half an hour after I've emptied it and am gasping like a fish out of water). Noticing when I am ready to pay and leave, and not leaving me sitting around waiting for you to rock up with a card reader when you can be bothered, little things like that will get you a significantly better tip. That said, I'm not big on tipping bar staff. Pouring a pint and putting it on a doily is not some sort of amazing level of service that automatically entitles you to stick another couple of dollars on top of what is quite likely an already overpriced, substandard drink, I will however give a decent tip if I've ordered a round for half a dozen people and you're able to do it pleasantly, accurately and efficiently.

deanb Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Sometimes I'll randomly pick up a packet of crab sticks n I'll just eat them on their own. I know it's all processed n probably not even crab, but I quite like the tangy flavour the skin has. Texture is pretty unique too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I do a lot of weird shit, but the one that perplexes and annoys myself the most is how stubborn I can get about things. An example would be Facebook. I don't use it. My friends all still use msn and other "oldschool" methods of communication, so I don't really need it. On the other hand, a lot of them also use facebook, and I could be missing out on a lot of the conversation because I don't use it. I dislike Facebook completely irrationally. I have no reason for it. I'm not one of those guys who hate Facebook's (lack of) security features. I don't have any real complaints about it apart from the way some people I know uses it. But my brain has decided that Facebook = bad. I have valid reasons to decide to use, or not use Facebook, but none of them are the reasons that actually matter.
