You guys have made me really hungry for wings.

Didn't I? wrote:I'm in the middle of a food delivery horror story right now.

We ordered some wings from Atomic Wings at 7:45, almost three hours ago using Seamless Web. I called when it hadn't been here in an hour and spoke to a woman who said the delivery guy had left with it. Another hour went by and the food never came. I kept calling but it was either a busy signal or it would just ring and ring. So fucking frustrating. Two hours after I placed the order I did get through. The same woman just repeated what she told me earlier, that it was on its way. I told her that she said the same thing over an hour ago, after it had already been an hour. She put me on hold, and never got back on the phone. After 7 minutes I was disconnected. I'm like cracking up at this point. I've tried to call back, only to get more busy signals.

We just finished eating a frozen pizza.

When that happens to me, I call seamless and they take care of it. Usually refund my money. They call the restaurant themselves.

I sent them a strongly worded email.

I'm gonna go vent on twitter.

I met two of my brother's roommates tonight, and one of them had the cold fish handshake working. I was thinking about how one develops that kind of a hand shaking technique, and then wondered how one knows if they suck at shaking hands. I judge people if they do the limp handshake, but I mean, you don't shake your own hand so maybe all along I've been shaking hands like a wuss. Pretty sure this isn't the case...almost certain, but how can you really be sure? I've never told someone else they need to man up when they demonstrated poor form in a handshake. It's probably something people should be more open about, like telling someone if they have a piece of broccoli stuck in their teeth. It's less embarrassing to be told you have broccoli stuck in your teeth by a friend discreetly than to notice at the end of the night you went the whole gathering with something stuck in your teeth. But really how does one learn to shake hands like that?

This wasn't meant to be a drawn out sexual metaphor, but I realize portions of that post could end up in the That's What She Said thread

I've wondered about my handshake before too. You don't want to be known as The Crusher either. It's a fine line.

I think my handshake is the mode for men. In other news, if you like to watch relatively small guys eat, come to Chickie's and Pete's where I will be housing the all-you-can-eat menu. Thank god I worked out 5 times this week because this will probably be a 3,500 calorie meal.

i have a strong 2-hand handshake.

fairly strong. i'm sending a message.

works best when meeting the person for the first time. really throws 'em for a loop

Glad you were wielding a machete the first time we met so you couldn't do that. I would have been thrown for a loop.

I'm pretty sure my handshake is generally solid, but every once in a while I get caught distracted or off-balance and then afterward worry that I might have just flubbed one. really bothers me

in other news, I should clean my coffee mug better. rinsing probably isn't enough

i'm happy my mug is black so i cant' see the coffee crud that has built up over the past year

only took me 4 years of binge coffee drinking before I realized that trick.

housh just think of it as 'well-seasoned'

yeah, it doesn't really bother me. it kinda bothers me that it doesn't bother me, but only a little

i used to get upset about how apathetic i was becoming, but then i said fuck it

my handshake is like a hug

My boss shook my hand yesterday, but then he said, no let's do it again. So we shook hands again. But I'm not sure what was wrong with the first one. Got me all self conscious.

my dopple

You've never turned in a single assignment at the deadlines, so why do you think it would be a good idea to ask me for a recommendation?
