I can think of at least one friend who will say things to me like "Man, white people," and I'm looking at her and wondering how being able to speak Spanish made her not white. But I can be narrow and dictatorial at times.
I'm having food ordering issues. Two branches of the same cafe keep insisting I want the same thing--toasted bagel with cream cheese. Even when I want an untoasted bagel with butter. Ordered "sesame-seed bagel with butter" and the guy cheerfully sliced a bagel and put it in the toaster. I reminded him about the "didn't say toasted, did I?" thing and he fumbled it out and said "Cream cheese?"
No. Butter.
Guy at the cash register charges me $2. "Bagel with butter?" I ask. He nods, and rings up the sale. Then he says "With cream cheese?" No. Butter "Butter?" Yes. Butter. And then he gives me extra change.
Weirdos.
Congrats, Dana!
Bagel with butter: $1.26
Bagel with plain cream cheese: $1.37
Bagel with flavored cream cheese: $1.53
Toasting: free
Why I remember this from 1996? Beyond me.
Congrats, Dana!
okay, I'm applying for a job online. You have to attach your documents. They have a spot for curriculum vita[sic] AND resume. Am I supposed to upload both? or the same document twice? I mean, is there a meaningful difference?
They may not remember, ita, since the untoasted state is anathema to true bageldom. And putting butter on it is adding insult to injury.

Not to mention that they're about three thousand miles away from any actual bagels.
I want chewy bread with just a hint of butter on it. They? Slather butter on with the same zeal as they do cream cheese.
Good bread (which includes bagels) is enjoyable virgin--untoasted and uncovered. I want the butter so I can have a hint of salt (that is the scale of my salt craving) and a bit of fat to tell my stomach it's actually had food.
Every day, same battle.
Now I want a salt bagel. Toasted with cream cheese.
Jesse just made ita's head explode!
I like my bagels with butter toasted, but my bagels with cream cheese UNtoasted. DON'T FENCE ME IN BITCHES I WILL CUT YOU!
