FFFC - Cinco de Mayo Edition

I'm team Delta on this most recent airline debacle. Even though the flight attendant was a lying bitchface about the whole thing, the fact of the matter is airline seats are non-transferrable. They booked a seat for their teenager and then sat a toddler there in a car seat. Delta could have let it slide (and probably should have to avoid the ensuing PR nightmare), BUT the rules clearly state that a ticket can only be used by the named passenger on the ticket and the family did not fulfill that obligation!

ETA: this is more of a UO, but WHATEVER COME AT ME.

I stole apples last week. I had the bag around my wrist and didn't notice somehow. I realized when I got to the car but it was too icy to go back. I'll leave 2$ next time for the 4 apples to make up for it. I barely felt bad.

[amch8]

I know cultural appropriation and stereotypes are bad, and I'm obviously not going to wear a racist mustache or put on a sombrero, but dammit I'm going to go eat some Mexican food today and drink a couple margs even though I have no affiliation with Cinco de Mayo or knowledge of the Battle of Pueblo.

Lin-Manuel Miranda just posted the following on Facebook: "Good luck, APUSH students. I've done what I can. The rest is up to you."

NO. BURN IT DOWN. STOP IT. You wrote a wonderful musical with countless historical inaccuracies (which is fine! it's a musical!), so please don't try to act like you're a savior to high school students and their teachers. Ugh when will he go awayyyyyy.

ETA: Oh shit I meant to put this in randoms. Oh well.

Inspired by a chat, I have been to some incredible Italian restaurants, like Del Posto (which is probably one of the top five means of my life), and I still have a soft spot in my heart for the Olive Garden.

Realized I had more to add to this. I dragged my husband to the Olive Garden in Times Sq., and the server asked us where we were from. When we said 60th street, I have never seen another human more disappointed in me and my husband was so embarrassed.

I replied to a recent tweet of Donald Trump's with "Get fucked, hoosier."

Petty, yes. Cathartic? Hell yes. Not ashamed.

@officedronette, I love Olive Garden. I have always seen people talk about it negatively though. I think amch8's gif expresses my feelings for these people, but here's another:

PSHHHHHH we all secretly love Olive Garden and you know it.

Ewwww. Olive Garden is the worst. It was like the biggest deal when we were in high school and everyone always wanted to eat there and there was always a billion hour wait. I don't know why because their food is garbage other than their breadsticks which are almost impossible to ruin.

I seriously cannot find the right words (or gif besides a bunch of flames) to respond to Office's post...

Relevant! @officedronette rachydc lawandorder  ashiscute I once got into an actual screaming match with a stranger in a bar after said stranger brought up the lore about how Marisa Tomei was accidentally given her Oscar for My Cousin Vinny (one of my Top 10 movies). SHE WAS SO FUCKING GOOD IN THAT MOVIE. SHE EARNED ALL THE OSCARS. THEY SHOULD'VE JUST GIVEN HER THE OSCAR FOR BEST PERSON EVER.

I've never seen My Cousin Vinny in its entirety. Each time I start watching, I fall asleep.

NOOOOOOOO DINNER IS CANCELED.

[rachydc]

I dont know how the hell I forgot about this, but I actually watched My Cousin Vinny while in labor! I was induced and killing time and it seemed like a good distraction. LOL. So Italian.

[lonegalathome]

@officedronette Del Posto is also in my top 5 ever restaurants I've eaten at andyou can give me endless salad and breadsticks at OG any day of the week 😉

Imagine that you are a deer.

Best scene ever in a movie. She is amazing.

[rachydc]

FFFC: I have ST dreams about my husband. Like, how fucked up is that?! Dreams are for me and the Hemsworth brothers, not my husband!

[kristhegirl]

Olive Garden bread sticks aren't good, though. I don't have a problem with OG, but those bread sticks are meh.

[kristhegirl]

Never seen My Cousin Vinny.

jnetx - I just buy myself my own Mother's Day presents (this year a new mei tei and a massage) and tell H he's off the hook. He always gets a nice card, but I feel we both win this way.

This past weekend I slipped my husband's phone in my back pocket. (I honestly do not remember why now maybe the kids were playing with it.) Later I forgot about it and went to the bathroom. It fell in the toilet when I went to pull up my pants. I used Lysol wipes on it, made sure it still worked, and pretended nothing happened. He has an iPhone 7 so it is suppose to be water proof.😳

[lovemyirishtwins]

I was emptying the dishwasher this morning and dd1 came in to talk to me. She was wearing the clothes I picked out for her. I went to ask her why she didn't have pants on until I realized she was wearing pants they are a pink color. But I'll keep a mental note never to buy pants that color for any family member again.

I told husband "I want this perfume."  He brought it home from his NY trip this week.  Win.

@officedronette Your confession reminded me of one of my favorite recent twitter threads.

ETA: This article doesn't include the final tweet, which was "Reader, I married him."

I never waited more than 15 minutes to eat at the Times Sq. Olive Garden.  I have standards.

I've also eaten at the Chelsea Olive Garden.  

Lord have mercy.

[catladymeow]

I know I've seen My Cousin Vinny....but it was a long time ago and I don't remember a single thing that happens.

[kristhegirl]

The list of movies I haven't seen is very long. I like movies but I'd rather read.

I think the last thing I saw in theaters was... The Huntsman? The one with Charlise Theron as the evil queen.

3D movies make me nauseated and I flatly refused to see them.

I had a really involved ST dream about Bill Nye this week.
