This was the norm when I traveled to Germany a lot for work, too. I'd be dying of thirst after a crazy over-scheduled, jetlagged day and my only choices for drinks would be 150mL glasses of wine, 300mL bottles of mineral water or a 600mL beer, all close to the same price.
I don't know if this is the same everywhere in Germany, but in the 2 cities I visited, the tap water was safe to drink but tasted terrible to me. I'd be pretty annoyed if only mineral water was available, though.
When I was growing up, I spent a lot of time with family in Germany. They always thought I was crazy for drinking talk water, because it would "make bugs grow in my stomach." The water was perfectly fine and I drank it for years.
If your business website has a bible verse or any sort of religious references
Please tell me you're joking. Or that such a thing is rare. Because otherwise...fuck's sake.
In NYC? I have only seen it a few times.
In my hometown in East Bumblefuck PA? I mean my sister's PUBLIC high school graduation was held in a church so Bible Humping Gary is the least of it. The restaurant placemats, the grocery store, florists, insurance offices...planning my wedding back in the day was a real treat trying to find vendors.
Overly intimate or emotional new friends. Like I don’t need to hear all about your marriage woes or why you went no-contact with your mom or the way you and your partner started using that new vibrator you got. Like dude! We’re barely in the maybe-meet-for-coffee every few weeks stage.
That other shit gets shared waaaaay down the line. Or never. Ugh.
I’m aware that I may not be the best at making long term friends.
Honestly, people who write things precisely like this on social media.
"Thank u 4 being an amazin hubby always!"
I hate when parents write to their kids on SM, "happy brithday johnnie, I love you so much, keep being the person you are FLY HIGH" bitch, he's three?!
this is one of my biggest pet peeves. If the person is not on SM, then you are posting it for yourself, which is fine, but do not address it to them!!
Yeah, dental and orthodontic care is expensive in this country, which unfortunately means it’s out of reach for many. There shouldn’t be any shame in that.

This thread made me think of the time I went on a first date and I asked the guy what were dealbreakers for him. I was prepared to answer that mine was smoking and was expecting an answer along those lines. He said “someone who has had an abortion”. Aaaaaand next.

I appreciate these posts and I am aware that there is immense privilege in being able to afford dental care. I am not trying to shame anyone, I am stating for me personally I am not attracted to someone who has missing or decaying teeth.
I appreciate the essay and will read it over my lunch break. Thank you. ETA: I read the essay. It was extremely powerful and it made me think about a lot of things I pass judgement on that I really shouldn't. I am aware that some of my judgements come from classist or fatphobic places--it is something I work on with my therapist regularly. I am cognizant of the fact that I observe something and make an instant judgement on it, and then I stop myself and ask "why does it matter if X has bad teeth? Or smokes? Or any number of things? They do not impact me what-so-ever and my judgement is based on a fucked up societal norm that is harmful to others." I thank you again for calling out my comment and for sharing this essay.
I was expecting the South but West Michigan fryjack2 ? I'm sorry but Gary the Proselytizing Dentist is too much for me.
I want to say to my kids' dentist has a Bible verse somewhere in the office. He's Curtis the Proselytizing Dentist. This is 100% a thing in Ohio (and definitely not limited to the dental industry). Despite this, I adore Curtis and will be very said when he retires.
And usually, men who drive trucks. Especially with the Calvin and Hobbs peeing decal or the ball sac hanging from the tow hitch. I know that is generalizing but there a 95% chance I will not be into you based on those.
There was a burger joint in my old city that would make NO substitutions. Zero, not even omissions.
Every single item on the menu had mustard on it and mustard makes me literally gag. Would they accommodate me by doing/giving me less than I pay for? No.
I didn't eat there and hope the place goes down in flames. Get over yourselves, jackasses, your food is not, in fact, perfect, just the way you think it is.
I hate walking into a store and being bombarded by employees to either sign up for their cc, try their new x,y & z thing or just generally asking me 8,000 questions.
A hello and may I help you find something is sufficient.
When companies have their logos all over their vehicles and then someone drives like an asshole. Oh, I’m sorry, person driving the LastName Window Repair* truck, was I going too slow for you? Thanks for helping me decide who I won’t be getting a bid from.
