David Mitchell's Bread & Milk rant from QI
From comedy.org.uk:

There are at least two known "Truths" which have appeared on The Unbelievable Truth which are in fact false. One is that you if remove the fleas from a hedgehog, then the hedgehog dies. The other is the cricket did not exist during Shakespeare's time. Both of these were corrected when David Mitchell appeared on an episode of QI.

Crane bisects house FAIL
>> ^gwiz665:
Evacuating the neighbors? Isn't that a bit extreme?


The only reasoning I can think of behind this would be fear of a gas leak or maybe they need to go over the neighbors properties in order to remove the crane and are worried about this happening again.

We don't want none of your commonsense around in these parts. We'd much rather not burden ourselves with paying people what they deserve for the service they give me, but instead moan and complain until someone else has to pay for it. That will make life better for us, so stop fucking that up with your reason and good principles!!

I've got to side with the business on this one. If you go to a restaurant that requires you tip, then don't act surprised and angry at the end of the meal when you get your bill.

German is bullshit. When someone posts this with English speech, it's not a dupe of this.. remember that.


hmmm. i thought a while about your comment. you know, what to think of it, what to reply to it. and you know what? everything i could come up with was "fuck you".


You could have said something along the lines of 'Although this video isn't bullshit, and listening to the voices in German is entertaining in its own right, some may favour an English version over it, as this is a prodominantly English speaking website, and the majority of its users will in all likelyhood, not be able to understand the joke contained within.' But that, probably isn't the direction you were looking for.

Instead you summed up your emotion as a mixture of directional offense and a (presumable, forgive me if incorrect) lack of imagination. If I were you, I'd avoid politics.

Couple Arrested for Not Paying Tip
>> ^Xax:
Perhaps the patrons were simply confused. Which is it: a mandatory fee, or a gratuity? It can't be both. If they want to charge an 18% service fee, that's what they need to call it -- and make sure patrons are aware of it before being served, and then deliver the good service they're charging for. If patrons don't receive what they pay for, should they be required to pay it?



If I got my hair cut, paid the girl that cuts my hair twenty bucks tip, then later that day called my bank to cancel the charge because I disliked the service, wouldn't I be in the wrong? What if I agree to a mandatory 15% gratuity before ordering the meal, then eat all the food I order and decide to not pay the gratuity because I disliked the service?

The subtle difference between these two is that in one instance you have an opportunity to "experience" the service before tipping and the other you agree to tip beforehand. Either way, you agree to it.

In my personal opinion, if the management knows anything about good business, they should just comp the patrons and be done with it. Nothing good comes from taking a moral position against the customer. Ever.



>> ^xxovercastxx:
How is arbitrarily multiplying the bill by 1.18 any different than raising the prices? Aside from not being apparent ahead of time, that is.



Because they don't add the gratuity unless there's a larger group of X amount or more. I've explained that a couple times. I'm not sure why you're jumping to the conclusion everywhere you go they add a compulsory gratuity to your meal. It's only under certain conditions.

Shiny Suds are Naughty
About 10 years or so ago, they used to run a Garnier advert here in the UK where a woman was showering and you could see her gleaming erect, soapy nipples. I've been a fan of bathroom products ever since.

CCTV: King County sheriff's deputy assaulting 15 yr old girl
>> ^notarobot:
A lot of good discussion of this issue exists on the raw, uninterpreted closed circuit footage of this unfortunate event. See it, and all those comments here: http://www.videosift.com/video/Cops-Beat-Cute-Girl-Senseless?noredirect




someone killed that video, it happens to be mine, it does show the unedited footage (which makes it different IMHO), I'd like it unkilled.
