wildross Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Chain restaurants have successfully gotten people their correct orders for decades by calling the order and an order's number. My name is not necessary. I don't go to fast food places anymore, but when I did, Mcdonalds never asked for my name.And yes, sometimes I forget to use my aliases.They do now sometimes.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yeah, because giving the right person the right order is none of their business I can see myself taking time in line, thinking up a great alias then either a) forgetting to use it when I order, and just saying "Randy" or using it to order then forgetting it immediately so that I don't notice when they call out "Sir Edward Cardboard" I give them names of fantasy characters all the time. 3 Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Obitim Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 We had a sign up in the apartment gym for the longest time reminding people that there was no spitting allowed...... not the accidental, I',m breathing hard spit, the problem was asshole hocking loogies into the corners. It was disgusting. That is absolutely minging... Link to comment
Silo Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I have given up giving our last name when waiting for seating at a restaurant. It's a somewhat common name but the person writing it down gets it wrong every time. It's like if our name was Leonard, we'd hear Beonard or Teonard or Veonard. Now I give them my husband's first name instead because it sounds more like a last name than mine does and because I don't like false familiarity (though apparently I don't mind subjecting my husband to it.) 1 2016 goals: Hit goal weight.

I don't think I do it for vanity reasons. I have like absolutely no mind-muscle connection...whatsoever, so looking at my biceps when I'm curling helps me focus on getting a good squeeze. I also will look in the mirror while doing cable pushdowns for my triceps for the same reasoning. 3 "I can. I will.

I'd be more concerned about the heavy ass bar across my neck.......The way it's set up, falling face first into the mirror would be accompanied by the heavy bar on the back of my neck. My face would stop, the bar wouldn't. Turning around would allow me to fall forward, with the bar being caught by the cage and me continuing on. 1 "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!
