Raq, if you're possibly maybe still there? Have you noticed Greek people ironing a lot? Because I was just speaking to my Greek flatmate and she was telling me that she ironed about six hours a week, especially underwear. Somthing about 'killing microbes'. And myself and my other flatmates were flabbergasted, because interviews are pretty much the only thing we iron for, and then only if we're feeling fancy. But then my Greek flatmate's Greek friend came over to iron with her, because it's such a fun activity, and she couldn't believe we didn't iron our underwear. And our sheets, and our towels.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Greek women, traditionally, are formidable housewives. You can eat off the floors kind of housewives. I have never known one with an ironing fetish, though. (lived 2 years in Athens and had many colleagues in the states)
Also, ironing TOWELS? WTF??

I know! And bedsheets, apparently. Also baby clothes at least twice to be sure. She must be so disgusted by living with the rest of us.

This totally makes me laugh.

Splitting the bill evenly is the easiest way to work it most of the time, but when you're a vegan celebrating a friend's birthday with twenty non-vegans at the town's most expensive sushi restaurant, you get screwwwwwwed. I'm still a little bitter about paying $60 for two orders of avocado maki.
Edited to make out with Nora! *grope*

I just posted a bunch of Halloween songs at Buffistarawk. The track list is in the music thread.
Betsy, you might want to check it to sample the Dr. John in his scary funky voodoo mode. Also the swing era horror novelties are very fun.

Sometimes people really just don't think. I've handled situations like that by saying, "ok, Jen's share is $10, and the rest of us are in for $X."
It's not hard, whatever way you do it. It just takes a little awareness.

That sucks! Did they at least drizzle it in truffle oil?

Tsk. Dry hump sushi.
When you really want it raw.
