I went to a creamery in TX [USA] and there were strict “rules”.
They said they “couldn’t” give out ice with water, it had to be room temp water. But they serve iced coffee and blended drinks so they definitely have ice to give, they are just being stingy for no reason.
Also, the six scoop cup had to be the same flavor for each scoop but the four scoop cup had to be a unique flavor for each scoop. Why the hell are there so many asinine rules?!
Also, the scoops were basically hollow inside, I’m not even joking. They purposely tried to make it as small as possible. This was definitely not even close to being worth $13!!! I wish I had just gone to to Braum’s or even Coldstone instead of wasting my money on this horrid excuse for ice cream.
Okay rant over

Edit:
This was a comment but I’ll add the edit here as well.

I’m responding to many comments I have seen in this thread, not just the one I’m replying to:

First of all tho- shout out to the people with clever deductive reasoning skills who kinda called the whole situation without me even having to clarify. Yall are whole Sherlocks out here.

It’s hilarious when people are so confidently wrong. There are three spoons because I had two kids with me. That was the reason I didn’t just leave, coupled with the fact that there were literally no other options that late in the day (after midnight), so I had to suck it up and just get them their ice cream since I had promised them two scoops each before we left the house. (I thought we were going to braums cuz I could’ve sworn they were open much later and they are so much more reasonably priced)

As soon as the worker said the nonsense about the ice cream rules, I wanted to leave immediately. But like I said, I was desperate (it was the only spot open at the time) and had to follow through for the kids.
I am very much the type of person who would say never mind, let’s go somewhere else if there were any other option. They only told me the no ice for water rule after I paid, but that probably would have sent me over the edge and I would have left regardless if I hadn’t already paid and everything because I was legitimately baffled looking at the iced coffee images on the menu offering ice. I asked why and they said it was “policy” to not give ice with water, that pissed me off more than anything because it’s a cafe as well as a creamery so it just didn’t make sense to me. Color me crazy for expecting a cafe to have ice water, I guess.

Since it was such small portions, and I wanted the kids to eat their two scoops, I didn’t get more than one lil sample of two of them, but even that was enough to understand how low quality it was.
Even the 12yo said it tasted like store bought nestle “ice cream” which isn’t even technically ice cream, it’s that frozen dairy dessert nonsense. But that was an accurate comparison.
It was quite icy and not very creamy.

And lastly, to the people who are saying that I ordered a “sampler” so that implies the scoops are supposed to be smaller, the menu did not write mini scoops. If they had advertised that, I would not have had an issue with the size. But they used the same word “scoop” for each of the options, so I believed it would all be the same size regular scoop. The lack of transparency is why it is mildly infuriating. Also, if you look up pics of the exact same thing I ordered “four scoop sampler” from dumonts creamery, the scoops looks so much bigger and more normal rather than the mini scoops I got.

Also, for the people who are claiming the six scoops was a packed pint and that’s why it could only be one flavor: it was not a pint for the six scoops, it’s just a large cup with six scoops in it. There was not even a lid. Yall are thinking of a packed pint like they give at baskin Robbins shops but that is incorrect. It’s just another large cup with six individual scoops and no lid.

Lastly, I didn’t put the name of the place in the post because I thought that was against the rules but I saw it many times in the comments so I am assuming it’s fine. It’s called dumonts creamery and cafe

these fast food places are just taking the piss at this point

edit: baffled at how many people assumed i didn't talk to the staff about it lmao

How many teal shirts does your son have in his drawer? Because mine had none. So I had to make one with a white t shirt and food colouring. Came out okay I think. Hopefully doesn’t stain his skin but it’s teal skin or no colour party.

Also, I feel like a nearly identical post was made by someone else recently so… to whoever that was, I feel your pain.

Edit: the common question has been “haven’t you started summer break?” (Or some accusing me of reposting because summer break has already started). I am in ontario, our summer break starts on June 25 so the kids are still in school. They go back to school September after Labour Day.

This is not a repost. I took this photo with the shirt in a pot in my sink. If you see my comments you can see a photo of that pot, with no shirt in it. It’s my version of holding up the newspaper… because I don’t receive a newspaper. Also someone found a link to the now deleted similar post which was a list of colours their kid was supposed to wear to school for some event and they were similarly obscure like Teal, and magenta and puce or whatever …

The other common comment is that the note was sent home weeks ago and I only just received it from my son now. That’s not the way notes work at our school, they sent home a physical copy and also put a photo on our school communication app as a “heads up your kid is bringing a note home”. I saw them both after work yesterday with no time to go shopping.

I had my WHOLE batch of freshly made beef jerky in a glass Tupperware container and I brought it into work.

I stepped out for a few minutes to take care of something. Came back and reached to open the lid and pull out a piece of jerky when I see stuff moving inside.

I rip the lid off and about ten fat flies come racing out from all over. There's about 5-6 different batches of eggs laid throughout the container.

And the eggs are growing bigger by the minute, it seems.

Our trash is incinerated here, so I'm going to empty everything into a plastic bag, double-bag it for good measure, then toss it in the trash. I hope the grubs enjoy getting roasted alive.

Needed to make Tres Leches for my school project, but we accidentally ordered the wrong one. Thankfully Walmart offers returns (thus only mildly infuriating)

We're cuising down the Mississippi from Minneapolis to New Orleans.

There are actually 2 massive spiders who keep making their webs across my front (mudroom) door. I believe they are orb weavers but the pics I took in the dark didn’t turn out, and I can’t find them right now. They look like the third pic but I took that from google.

One of them made a big web last year and I put a “watch for Spidey” sign on the back door to remind me and my wife to duck when we left. This year there’s 2, so I updated the sign (napkin) accordingly.

To address the inevitable “why don’t you just” comments preemptively: I will not kill any beneficial insect or animal. Unless they pose a direct threat to myself, my family or the structure of my home I leave nature alone.

I include house spiders in the friendly category. They have found a nice spot to catch insects and it just happens to be right at face height on the only door I can use to leave for work at 4am. We just have to find a way to live harmoniously - I just seem to be doing all the work here as they are stubbornly sticking around at eye level.

That said, I’m not a fan of walking into spider webs and potentially having an orb weaver crawling across my face when I haven’t even finished my morning coffee.

I leave for work very early and this is the door to my mud/sunroom where I keep all my muddy/stinky work clothes. It’s also the only door I can use without waking up my dogs and children.

I should also say I am not EXTREMELY infuriated. I am not even angry. I love all of nature and thus, consider this spider my friend. All the more reason I don’t wis to wreck her home.

“Why don’t you just duck, Fat Face!?”

Well because it’s 4am and I’m usually half asleep feeling my way through the dark with the light on my phone trying not to wake my family when I leave and sometimes I forget.

So here I am, asking for you to smile and have a good chuckle at my mild misfortune instead of explaining all the reasons I’m an idiot for being bothered by a spider.

Yours in spider harmony,

The whole kitchen was fogged up with smoke

My British brothers and sisters,

I will give you the metric system. You are so right.

I will give you beans on toast. Mmmm.

I will give you tea with a splash of milk.

I will give you the driver's seat on the right side of a car. Why not?

I will give you "chips" rather than "French fries." It makes more sense.

I will give you "crisps" over "chips." Again, sounds more appropriate.

I will give you "biscuit" instead of "cookie."

I like the way you pronounce "aluminium" better than us Americans, too.

Amongst other things.

But "Maths"???

I understand your logic in keeping the "s" when shortening mathematics...but it just sounds so grating to my ears.

It sounds like a toddler who is trying to say the real thing.

Anyway...just mildly infuriating. Much love, mate!

We’re spending a couple of nights at my father in laws house. His whole house is full of boxes of junk, I’m not sure if this meets a clinical definition of hoarding. My wife doesn’t seem to recognize why I don’t like it here.

All they had to do was use a 16 x 16 grid. They used 12x12 . Bead art is kind of like pixel art in a way. This should be simple.

This was on the laundry room table. Also happens at the dresser and while sitting on the toilet at 3AM.

My husband said I should've titled this "I didn't want protein with my creatine" lol

This is so disrespectful to animators
And it’s hideous

I've cut it flush with their property line 3 times so I can pass the mower. This photo was taken today. Constantly have to duck under it to put my trash cans away.

We moved into this apartment a little over a week ago, and not only have found 2 cockroaches but in my 6 month old’s bedroom there is mold growing because they obviously just painted over the mold spots and didn’t bother actually fixing the problem. Yay apartment living in a humid area!

ETA: this was mold. The maintenance worker for the complex came and used a spray he is obligated to call “organic material killer.” For those saying it looks like horse hair plaster, I zoomed in to 4.5x on my phone. The guy wiped it off the wall. It will probably be back. But I’m documenting everything in case we need to take anybody to court or report to the corporation that owns the complex.

I aint giving them free advertising. Anyone know how to disable this crap?
