from filling out various applications over the past few days, i've realized how much shady shit i've got going on in my background. solid credit, but stuff like excuses to get out of leases, living under my dad's name, and some more.

Are you a superhero? If so, which city is your arch nemesis trying to blow up?

whenever I unwrap a hoagie, there's a little moment of fear that they might have screwed up and put mayo on it

Despite all my years, I still have trouble figuring out what to say at restaurants when I'm not sure if a sandwich comes with mayo or not and i want to make clear I don't want it.

If I ask if it has mayo and it doesn't, they always ask if I want mayo. If I ask if it has mayo and it does, then I have to come back with "No mayo, please", and sound annoying. If I just say "No mayo" they say something like, "It comes with mustard. Do you not want that?" If I say something, like "If that has mayo on it, I don't want mayo." I sound like some sort of whiner.

Valuable minutes of my time have been lost to this, and, worse, I've sometimes ended up eating mayo. Restaurants should have to list all condiments by law.

It's definitely a bad situation. Something I find myself combatting monthly. I always just assume there's mayo on the sandwich. Therefore, I just say "No mayo, please." If the response is something like "It comes with mustard. Do you not want that?" like you said, I can deal with the follow up question. It assures that there is a very low mayo risk.

On a similar note, something that I conquered a few years ago was the drive thru chicken sandwich order. I'll order it " Three dollar chicken sandwiches. No mayo." The response is what I struggled with. Most employees would then ask "You said 'No Mayo?'" I used to just simply say "Yes." Then I was unsure if they thought I meant no to mayo or yes to mayo because of the ambiguity of the question. Now when they ask "You said 'No Mayo?" I say "That is correct. No mayo." Made my life a lot easier.

I used to think I hated mayo. I'd still class myself as a non fan, but a little bit on a turkey sandwich or a chicken sandwich doesn't ruin it. Also I like getting a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy's and taking off the tomato and most of the mayo but having a film left on the roll to mix with the ketchup.

Turning point in my mayo hating was realizing I like chicken salad

We've had an ongoing problem with our neighbor. A father bought the condo next to us and put his 25-ish daughter there to live. She is out of control, playing music extremely loud, insulting and threatening neighbors, speeding backwards through our alley, letting her car run in the alley/echo chamber with the music blasting. We have called the police several times because of her violent behavior.

We finally pushed our HOA to fine them according to the HOA rules. The father showed up at the last HOA meeting and told us that he wasn't going to pay the fines because she can do what she wants under the first amendment and she is under medication and has a brain problems, so she is protected under the American Disability Act and has a right to housing.

We were so furious after the HOA meeting. So I started doing google searches and just sent an email to our HOA board detailing what I found out.

I found out that she is (they are?) running a prostitution business out of their unit. I win.

You go to these sandwich places that have more than a dozen potential toppings for your sandwich, and you can no longer say "everything but mayo" You've got to specify each individual topping and condiment--lettuce, tomato, onion, hot peppers (am I forgetting something?) oil, vinegar, oregano, pepper.

i used to make sandwiches, and everyone means something different when they say "everything", so it's always been a useless term

Five Guys is like that, but I appreciate it. The advantages in diversity of toppings (getting to have mushrooms on my burger, for example) outweighs the minor annoyance in having to be specific.

No she has specific rates for that kind of thing. You can pay with a credit card if you like.

I'm just raising the possibility that there can be such a thing as too much choice.
