I almost got in a fight with a lady at CiCi's yesterday....

All I wanted was a nice slice of mediocre (lesbihonest amazing) pepperoni pizza ... and this twat wouldn't move out of the way and told me I needed to wait in line because, "she waited in line."

I took great self control to not to say, "no you waited in line because you're a fucking moron."


why the shit would there be a line? when has there ever been a fucking line at a buffet?

you just go up get your shit and get the fuck out of everyone's way. and if there's something you just won't fucking survive without having shoved into your gullet in the next 2 minutes you can just request they bring you a personal pizza.


is this why people fuck up a round about ? because they just can't fathom the idea of taking turns so they force some contrived line bullshit on it


I wanted to punch that bitch in the fucking dome, thankfully I just walked away, and didn't get arrested.

On a serious note

If you're getting food at whole foods and are opting to go around the island a clockwise manner, it shouldn't take you 45 seconds to look at each vat of 'organic' macaroni and cheese or not. Get your fukkin steamed bok choy and get the heck out of the way.

There is no reason you should be going to CiCi's if you're out of college unless you're borderline on welfare. Therefore, you deserve whatever happens to while you are inside of that establishment.

4/11/2016 11:33:45 AM

to be fair the people watching is pretty great

4/11/2016 11:35:48 AM

to be fair you can't get CiCis on foodstamps

4/11/2016 11:40:37 AM

just don't look at the carpet. you'll lose your appetite, if not your lunch.

4/11/2016 11:57:33 AM

yeah that lady was doing the buffet wrong.

4/11/2016 12:00:13 PM

i had the same thing at a food tasting event lately. They had multiple tables with samples setup and the morons figured out how to turn it into a giant single path instead of letting people just go up to the table they wanted and grab a sample. The line was in front of a table that I wanted a sample from, a table with multiple food samples sitting on it waiting for the taking, and some moron said I was cutting in line when I said "excuse me" and reached across them to get a sample. fucking morons, i'm still bitter about it.

4/11/2016 12:09:24 PM

seriously ... lets analyze ... so you're saying if it's dessert time and you just want a cinnamon bun and a brownie, you have to WAIT IN FUCKING LINE and walk passed all the pizzas just for shits in giggles !?!?

You're gonna have to explain what and where this line was, because I can definitely see lines at buffets that just cutting into would make you a dick.

Like for the ice cream for example.

But if it was just people walking past the food while picking out what they want to eat that's ridiculous.

Definitely depends on the buffet and crowd in question.

If there actually are a large number of people going to the buffet at once, a line is pretty much necessary to prevent a pileup at high-demand items.

If the buffet is positioned such that there isn't room to maneuver -- if, say, it would be difficult for two people to pass behind someone who had stopped to retrieve an item -- then a line might be appropriate to prevent two buffet-goers clipping one another, knocking their trays onto the floor.

There is a very popular country kitchen type buffet near me that is a good example of both constraints. It always gets slammed with people during dinner, mostly a combination of the elderly and the obese. And it is arranged such that there are two buffet tables placed about four feet apart. If people did not line up, there would just be a pile of bodies at either end of this channel, and bedlam in between -- two obese people cannot pass each other in a four-foot passage, let alone when there's some geezer on a hoverround parked by the mashed potatoes trying with her shaking, palsied hands to ladle on one more spoonful of gravy. Then the prized items, the fried chicken or the popcorn shrimp, would run out, and there would be a stampede leaving dozens of NASCAR fans trampled to death.

So instead they have a line, which everybody stands in quite civilly.

That said, from my extremely limited experience with CiCi's, a line doesn't seem necessary. It's open and uncrowded because it is shitty and nobody eats there except out of necessity.

Small sample size. Invalid arguments.

I tried to find a .gif of Tiny on Ray Donovan looking at his watch and waiting on the all you can eat buffet to open at the Asian place while the owner stared him down angrily

I failed

it definitely depends. if she was nearby / on her way to the item you wanted, you'd be a dick for cutting. if there were 3 items or more (of clearance...meaning nobody directly in front of her) between the peperony and her current item that she was retrieving, cutting is certainly "fair game". also, if her pace indicated over 18 seconds per item, you could cut (as long as the peperony is not the next item and the aforementioned clearance is available). otherwise, a simple "do you mind if I just grab a slice of peperony real quick" would suffice.

Ice cream and Soda fountain ... definitely a line, you wait your turn to have access to the machine ... but you're fucking telling me I have to start at the cash register and just thumb my balls in line for 10 minutes till I get to the other side where the cheese is ? fuck no.

but given the example up higher... i guess it does depend on the buffet, but the chain buffets seem to all follow this rule ... a line for individual items, but not an item for the entire bar. Ie at golden corral people aren't waiting in line, save for ice cream.

when did it become common to use ellipses like this? i see it all the time and it is so fucking annoying, i immediately assume anyone doing this is an idiot. did twitter cause this? wtf

Learn how to capitalize the word/letter I. Learn how to capitalize the first letter of your sentences. "wtf" is not a word...did twitter cause this?

yea ... really not the same thing... totally different .. things

4/15/2016 9:54:15 AM

ellipses are used to indicate a trailing-off thoughts... or a hesitation...

my dad uses them all the time in personal emails, and he doesn't even know what twitter is.

4/15/2016 10:04:45 AM

I didn't...say...they...were...the...same. You just...look like...an idiot...when you correct other people's mistakes...while making mistakes of your own in a...similar nature.

in typing it's difficult to indicate tone, intonation, train of thought, etc.

Ellipses help separate thoughts, and indicate pauses in verbiage that would be otherwise difficult to indicate outside of a comma.



There's also a chance dtownral is a fucking douchecanoe and is mad I called him stupid at some point on the wolf webz

I love dot dot dots!

But I also recognize that I use them most when I'm too lazy or don't have the time to properly organize my thoughts.

One of the things I like about this place is that contributors generally do have to take a moment to decide what they want to add and how they want to add it. To be clear, your posts here read like some voice-to-text blathering about buffet lines. Your thoughts are difficult to follow and uninteresting--kinda like those of a pretty person who has never reckoned with the fact that they're stupid and boring.

You won me back with douchecanoe though.

I'd have to say the jaybee pick is a lock. He's coming off a triple double @ cicis last week on 24, 14, and 10. He's the first diner to have 4 consecutive meals with 20 servings, 10 sides and 10 deserts.
