So I am at a restaurant and the staff tells me that they have new salt and pepper shakers on each table. They are the kind where the salt is on top of the pepper and the pepper grinds. These are clear. Apparently customers really like these because they have been TAKING THEM HOME. What the fuck?

People suck and steal stuff. Because they suck.

I have to admit stealing a salt shaker while at university. I didn't want an entire thing of salt. And it lasted me for five or six years--it seemed weird to pack and move it to the US.

I found a summary of Teefury-like sites: [link] I had no idea there were so many. But there's a great run of Breaking Bad shirts in there right now. I might need to get part of my sister's Christmas present...

I stole a plastic bread basket from an Olive Garden once. I stole it because my son was throwing up and I was worried he would barf on the car ride between the restaurant and my SIL's house, where we could get him set up for sickness. But I have the basket, and I feel guilty about it, and occasionally ponder what they would think if I walked into an Olive Garden around here and tried to return it. (He did not barf in the car!)

I stole a red ramekin of guacamole from an Applebee's once. I just put it in the take-home box; I don't know what came over me. It was the guac!

Timelies all!

Gary and I divided up writing the thank-you notes for our wedding gifts. We did do them in batches, fwiw.

Oh god, we took ages to write our thank-you notes for wedding gifts. Months, at least. I *think* we had them all done by the time our first anniversary rolled around, but I couldn't swear to it.

I avoid doing anything in life that would require me sending thank you notes.

How do you avoid letting nice people do nice things for you? Avoid nice people, or just hurt their feelings so they aren't nice to you?

I thank people individually when they do nice things for me. I just don't send tiny cards with handwritten notes because I am a terrible person.
