On Are We Not Each A Customer Whilst We Are Using The Restroom?
@SidAndFinancy British people think American toilets are gross because of the lack of proper walls. As an American living in Britain, I find them 100% correct.

On Ask Polly: The Eventual Death of The Universe Is Making Me Anxious
LW2: Oh man, I've known that girl. Leaving the LW and his grossed-outedness alone, that's the girl who doesn't feel like being creeped on at one stage of drunkenness and then decides it's ok at a later stage, and the person we should feel bad for is her quite reasonable friend trying to steer her away. I think LW shouldn'a tried to bring her home with him after that because she's clearly not in a mind to make good decisions.

On 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' Is My Favorite Movie Of 2012
@sunnyciegos You want an Indian movie that isn't super kitshy post-colonial love story? A movie about real issues in India? Maybe Bollywood could do such a thing if they weren't so obsessed with making love stories where the plot is boy meets girl --? complications --> wedding.

On Why Does Pret A Manger Think Americans Are Stupid?
I live in London. There are good sandwiches here because there are lots of veggie options, and also like half of them you can get grilled on the spot; grilling makes everything like a million times better.

On Why You Should Not Use Twitter For Corporate Customer Service: A Cautionary Tale
I didn't even think to Tweet when Restoration Hardware told me my sheets that should arrive within 1-2 weeks (in August 2012) would suddenly be back-ordered until November. I was moving, man, and I needed those sheets, so I called them and did a hissy fit. I always feel bad when it's not someone's fault that their company messed up, but after the hissy fit, they mysteriously "found" some sheets in my hometown and overnighted them - yep, that looks just like "we're backordered til November because they ship from Italy."

@Faintly Macabre Exactly - where in Europe did he find this wondrous system of toilets??? I only have a closely-guarded system of pubs, bars, free museums, and darkened alleys at my leisure.
