Doesn't Weatherbug install a whole bunch of adware?
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I prefer waitron -- even more impersonal, almost machinelike.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, the Weatherbug sound is super annoying. This is some shit from the Weather Channel, so it just makes thunder noises in case of emergency -- or it did, before I turned the sound off.

I like the indeterminate gender-ness of waitron....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Weatherbug alerts are awful, I agree. Not just the chirping sound, but they alert you to everything, not just changes. So if it's raining, it will chirp every friggin' three minutes to tell you OMGSTILLRAINING!!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Nowhere in the ballpark of JMPP, but the writing is hilariously awful.

Too much so for me. I use "server" because that's what servers I know say.

I just call all waiters waiters, whether they are boys or girls. I also call girl-comedians just comedians. Because "comedienne" is the dumbest word ever.
There used to be all sorts of gendered words, like baker/baxter and thatcher/thaxter and I don't know what. But English isn't formally a gendered language, so I mostly don';t bother (unless the word is cool, like murderess!) In Spanish, where word-gendering persists, people sometimes use the male version for females because the female version has come to mean "the wife of the guy who ____". Which is why a female mayor is usually called la alcalde instead of la alcaldesa.
