"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd say gay chicken is like slash--only counts if the players are canonically straight.

Well, I suppose you could have participants sufficiently unappealing that people into their gender wouldn't want to kiss them either, but then it wouldn't so much be gay chicken as butt-ugly chicken.

As a fat person/person-of-size/whatever you want to call me, I find this to be made of teh awesome! Now if only I could be so quick with the retort the next time something like that happens to me...

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 find this to be made of teh awesome!

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Great story! It's so great when people get to say the things that normally would end up being "what I wish I said".

Although as someone who doesn't generally tip at coffee places, I was struck by this:

she doesn't say a damn word, or leave a tip--she storms off...

I generally overtip cabdrivers, delivery people, and the like. Is it so abnormal not to feel the need to tip someone for getting me a coffee?

Punishingly Intricate

I always tip my coffee people! They get me coffee! And, as a former Dunkin Donuts employee, I know how much the tips are appreciated.

Kathy, I read that the other day, and I thought "I need to memorize that for the next time someone is an asshat to me in public." That's OUTSTANDING.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I never tip coffee people. I think this is because I order coffee-flavored coffee, and all the barista has to do is pour it, put a top on, and hand it over, so I really don't think that deserves more of my hard-earned monies.

I am eating tomato soup and grapes for lunch. I think I am going to be starving in about an hour.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't tip people who don't bring me my stuff, pretty much. Unless they go above and beyond.
