DevsBro 02/04/20 9:30:08 AM #4:	Also when they ask your name to call out instead of a number. I get why they do it, your name grabs your attention better than anything else, but look, some of us has asshole parents and I don't want to argue with you about my name, nor do I want you to say it wrong, so to you, my name is Bill, which defeats the whole purpose. --- 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 <cite>DevsBro posted [p:933914152] in Does anyon...

pinky0926 02/04/20 9:31:34 AM #6:	I generally don't mind it as long as it doesn't become intrusive and annoying. Stuff like that is how you get regular discounts and such. However I do remember in a previous life when I was single and actively playing the field, there was a quirky little bar near me that was the perfect date location. It was cool enough to be interesting, lowkey enough to not seem like I was trying too hard and near enough to my house that I could walk there. All was well and good until the regular barman gave a knowing smile and said something like "I like this one". I know he was just being playful but I felt like a bit of a fucking sleaze after that. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:933914211] in Does anyon...
