Quasi, please let it go. You don’t need to keep posting on it.

I don’t know where that thread is, I am sure it’s in the Pit somewhere, but hers mirrored my own, and y’all talked to me the same way. It just kept bothering me all day. Thank you for being here. If you want to talk to me on the phone to make sure I’m lucid, I’ll give you my number again…
Okay. You got it. Good night.
She’s okay, Quasi. The SDMB isn’t the only place she has posted this way. This is just her particular pet peeve and she’s letting everyone know her opinion in a way that isn’t often seen here. Don’t worry about her. Try to get some rest.
Okay, that makes me feel a lot better, Suse. What a stupid coincidence huh? I post mine, the idea hit me, I fly over to the Pit, and she’s gone.
I feel like a real flake, but if she’s really okay, you can pour milk all over me.
Thanks Hon
Bill
This topic is constantly making me think “What’s going to happen next?”
:dubious:
Is it time for breakfast yet?
Got your PM, Quas. Sorry, I was watching a movie on Netflix. Fortunately, it looks like things have settled down here for the night. I’m not sure how much help I’d be though. I think I’m one of those who is making Springs1’s eye twitch a little.
Can I come and live with you and go out to all the chain restaurants in the world and fight with managers and vice presidents over coupons and cheese fries? I could not imagine a more entertaining existence. Can I come and make a documentary about you? Can I follow you around from Red Lobster to Bennigan’s to Denny’s to Sambo’s to Bubba Gump’s to Arby’s to Outback to TGIFriday’s and videotape you fighting for side-dish justice? Please?
Nice!!!
Don’t know if it’s the fact that it’s going on 3am here but this just cracked me up. I would love to see that documentary.
It is now 3:25 and I haven’t been able to sleep, although I have calmed down a bit, thanks to Suse.
Just to close this whole mess out?
All day Saturday I’d see that thread and shrug my shoulders, thinking “It’ll come together sooner or later”, and go back to communicating with you guys, and man was my muse whoppin’ me upside the head!!!
But something about the tipper thread kept nagging at me, so every now and then I’d come back and take a peek.
“Hmm.still nuthin”, I said to Bert, who was sittin’ on my lap pawing my uh, (well, hell all right,) tits I guess! Happy now? They’re cute, but I just can’t pull 'em and put 'em in my mouth like some of y’all can.
Dang, she structured her paragraphs and emphasized stuff really nicely, and it all looked so… familiar. But the penny didn’t drop.
Did some Warcraftin’, ate a snack, watched some tv (that scene in American Werewolf In London during which he got so restless just before he morphed? That was me) and came back to the Dope.
Then I started thinking about my blog and that I hadn’t even looked at that video, so I did.
When it came to the “increased dependency” part, I thought to myself, “Got a ways to go yet bef…”, and then was when I had my epiphany (of sorts) and the tears came. and I wrote the blog and then linked y’all to it. (Thanks for the responses, by the way).
As I wrote, I said to myself, “Do you really want them to know this? You’ve been happily writing them all day long!”
And that’s when everything went kaput and I connected the dots and shit started happening.
I guess it’s a good thing I’m no longer working with patients, huh?
And that’s it. That’s the whole enchilada and I am so sorry I caused y’all this consternation.
What are we gonna do about this, mah chirruns?
Whatever y’all decide is what we’ll do, okay?
I love you little shits!
Quasi
Sorry people, but Springs1 has been posting these diatribes across the net since 2007. This may be the original Springs 1, or just someone who picked up her posts and is using them as a troll-suit, but either way, there is no dealing rationally wiht her/it/them/whatever.
DNFTT. (or expect a tip if you do :D)
You mean, DNWTTT
Do Not Waste The Troll’s Time
I think I want to make a T-shirt that says THE MENU IS THE GOD OF ORDERING!
About 963 replies on another board to what amounts to Springs1 posting her rants verbatim. General reaction from the message board; “this woman is a whack job,” and “since she posts this shit the same way all over the place, isn’t this really spamming?”
On another board, 574 replies to, you guessed it, Springs1 posting her rants verbatim. General reaction from the replies; “people like you should always eat at home,” and “honestly, why do you keep randomly capitalizing words?”
I suppose the good thing is that Springs1 rarely seems to be involved in more than one thread on any one board, so the crazy is pretty much isolated to this thread, and it’s already in the Pit. So at least she’ll probably stay out of any other restaurant discussions. The bad part is, she has the endurance and tenacity of a wolverine…a crazed, angry wolverine WHO DID NOT ASK FOR A REFILL YOU UNCARING INCONSIDERATE LAZY SELFISH SERVER
Springs1 this seems to be your favorite topic, and one that you apparently have discussed at length in several other places. While there is nothing wrong with that, I think you’ve spoken your truth on this. How about posting on some different topics for a while?

Does it state that the server didn’t ASK their customers? NO, so there’s no proof that you are right, nor does it mean that someone WRITES A BOOK about their OPINION about something that it holds TRUE either! An opinion is not a fact, is it?
You didn’t find proof of anything, because someone WROTE A BOOK about their OPINION on how service should be or not be even if they had that neither person should be asking. Anyone can write a book. Heck, if I wanted to, I could write a book myself. Does that prove that my method is correct, because I would have written a book?
My method is correct, because we get a menu to and we are the ones that get to decide if or what we want to drink since we are the customers PAYING for the service. Since we are the ones drinking or not drinking the drink. WHY does the server come to our tables with a pad and pen if they are just going to order what they please for us?
If you want your server to get you refills without bothering you, it’s YOU that needs to tell your server so they will know that, otherwise, they won’t just magically know. They may guess right, but they don’t know for sure when they are doing that task. You know I am right.
That’s right, the SERVER should be asking. NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THAT THE “SERVER” COULDN’T ASK, NOW DID THEY?
I agree 100% that customers shouldn’t have to ask their server. The server should be CARING and CONSIDERATE to ASK THEIR CUSTOMERS what they want or don’t want, DUH!
I only spent 2 seconds reading something and found a HUGE LOOPHOLE in your so-called proof. What an idiot!
I have proven YOU wrong!
I would pay $12 to see that movie in the theatre, and I’d buy the Blu-Ray for my collection.
yawn. I can see you can’t read–the first line says they fill it up without asking.
From the national organization. So you didn’t prove anything shit for brains. The loophole you found is the one in your logic.
what was I thinking :smack: Trying to reason with an insane woman.
since you have now sprung ms spring I will wait until you are banned. I will take bets it is within the next 2 to 3 days
bye-bye—it was nice talking to the crazy
done with this trainwreck
I am surprised it hasn’t been locked yet to be honest.
The original Dread Pirate Springs1 is retired and living like a queen in an Applebee’s somewhere.
I AM THE DRWEAD PIRWATE SPRWINGS! My DRINK IS here! A REFILL IS COMING! But I DID NOT ASK FOR ONE
