Yes, then he'd be able to spend more time drinking at the barre.

He claims not to drink, but I think that's a bunch of balloné.

I saw this one^ today..
Quote: "Provide the solution how to do this"
I miss the good old days when people asking questions were more polite and would at least add "plzzzzz" at the end. What's happened to manners these days? Tut, tut..
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

I've noticed the younger generation (millenials, especially from the 90s) are quite aggresive.
Its a trend I guess.

Slowly I understand what my father used to say about me having to learn some lessons, like beginning and ending every sentence with 'Sir!'.
It did not work very well. I got promoted quickly enough to become a 'Sir!' myself.

I totally agree. It's because they never grew up. Babies are aggressive, it's just they are so tiny and small people think it's cute. But when people never grow up mentally after reaching "adulthood" psychically then it's not so cute any more. Overgrown children... sitting at home.

Which part of 'dismissed' did you not understand? Report back when you have an answer.

If you question them I find most of the time they do not mean it literally. I think English as a second language is part of the problem. Most of the time I find they actually are just asking for some help, not asking anyone to do everything for them. At least that's been my experience when I ask them for more details and they answer.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Just to play devil's advocate. And I totally agree with your point btw, just playing advocate here. I did study a second language once for a few months: Japanese. Granted, Japan's culture is much more polite in general than most, but it was always made a point to teach the polite mannerisms and speech in class. Same thing goes with learning English as a kid. We learn to say "piss off" from other people moreso than class.
So, I propose they must've learned English from some dude in the back of a van selling cigarettes if they can't figure out how to say stuff like please.

Outside of Atlanta, maybe. But Atlanta isn't really the south anymore.

To play devil's advocate to your devil's advocate. That's party because in Japanese you conjugate verbs differently based on the level of respect or at least occupational hierarchy. In fact entire sentences can change. English isn't entirely like that. We generally just use qualifiers like "sir" or "ma'am."
