My wife frequently sends back “flat” vodka sodas. For food, I frankly can’t remember anything not being done correctly, or close enough. (I do get condiments on burgers despite asking for none, but I’ll deal with it.)
Aside from “holding hair out of the way”… that’s me. Shampoo first. Then the hair can begin its rinse cycle while using soap elsewhere. My hair is long enough that rinsing can take a while, any other approach would be more wasteful than needed.
The poll should also have had a step for applying conditioner (for those who use such).
Shampoo.
Soap body/rinse hair.
Apply conditioner / rinse.
One last soap / rinse to wash face / get residual conditioner off of neck.
Wedding rings: until COVID, I tended to wear them all day but take them off at night / when showering/swimming/other non-ring-friendly activities. With COVID, and the somewhat obsessive hand-washing, I stopped wearing them, and now it’s “almost never”.
It’s “Looney Tunes” (as in songs not cartoon characters).
Yes.
Annnd even the cartoon that goes with the Cecil article has the same typo in the first words there, in BOTH titles… 
Would you do business with someone who cites John 3:16 in every public and private communication?
Hell no. I’m an atheist. Don’t want my business? Fine with me. (and no idea what John 3:16 means, nor do want to look it up)
It’s a Bible verse (Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16), and probably the most widely-cited single verse among Christians, particularly those of an evangelical bent, as it encapsulates the core of Christian faith:
It’s also something you see being held up on signs at sports events. John 3:16 is “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
And Matthew 6:5-8 is “5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”
Which is a smackdown of the sort of people waving those signs around. Hell, now I want to go to a baseball game and hold up a “Matthew 6:5-8” sign.
It’s like the Biblical version of “Rio” by Duran Duran.
I guess my view is that if someone actually believes that “God” “gave his one and only son” to the world, to somehow give us “eternal life,” I don’t trust their judgment enough to hire them. Especially if they are trying to convince others of that idea.
This kind of attitude looks like religious bigotry to me, akin to refusing to do business with Jews or Muslims.
I’d probably also steer clear of Jews or Muslims (or LDS) who publicly proclaimed their religious tenets in advertising materials. It seems (to me) as a real character flaw. I don’t respect religious beliefs. Should I?
If i bothered to request they leave off a condiment, it means i won’t eat the dish with that condiment on it. So yes, I’m sending it back.
I might buy a product from someone who cited John 3:16, because what the hell, if they bake a good cake i will eat their cake. But I’d be anxious about hiring them to do a service, because they wouldn’t approve of atheist me.
I don’t think that’s bigoted of me. I think you shouldn’t push your religion or your politics on your business partners, unless you are close enough to them to know they are okay with it. I’ve worked for an evangelical Christian. I’ve worked with a devout Mormon. I’ve worked for a Hindu. Those are all fine. None of then pushed their religion on me, though.
As long as we’re discussing this, Cecil on the John 3:16 guy and how he ended up in prison.
It would also depend on their attitude otherwise, if I knew or could find out about that. If they just want to tell me they’re Christian, OK. If they want to tell me that I must be also, not OK.
Believe whatever nonsense you want, share it with me in a business setting and I’m taking my business elsewhere.
I just came home from a visit to southern Virginia. On the trip home I saw a pizza truck with all kinds of religious nonsense of the back which really turned me off. Apparently they also put bible verses on their pizza boxes although I cannot verify this.
Regardless, I do not want to be manipulated by anyone’s religion when conducting business. Be a professional and keep your beliefs on your home turf - not deep into your business. This is one pizza place I would stay away from.
I’m calling it. You win the internet for today.
