Ugh! I don't get it.

Why was I able to post anonymously a month ago but not now? And why was I not able to post anonymously a few months back? Does it just come and go? Well, the thing is, LiveJournal is telling me that my IP address is an open proxy, which is a common source of spam. They think I'm gonna spam them, so they disallow my anonymous posts. But, about a ( Read more... )

Where is it you're trying to post anonymously? I don't allow anonymous posting in my journal at all. It cuts back on the amount of crap I receive when/if I make an open post - all those creeps who have the nerve to say something hurtful and not show their face.

No, just in regular entries that don't have anonymous commenting disabled. There were a few various places that I tried to comment anonymously (never to say hurtful things, though!), and I just get a message saying that I'm not allowed to because of my open proxy. And yet, there are other times when I'm allowed to and get no message at all. So, I just don't understand why sometimes and not other times.

That's really weird. I wish I could help.

omg i love all of the nicknames. there's a LOT of regulars at our restaurant, and i only know a few by name. Yours are so much more interesting though!

Of course there is the one I like to call "really old asshole" because he complains to ME about getting two sausages instead of one, or his english muffin was too toasted (looked yummy to me), or that I wasn't listening to him when I sat 3 tables at once and forgot what he wanted to drink. In fact, the middle aged guy he comes in with said "you know, you are such a pain in the ass" to him when i turned around one time. I giggled to myself :)

Ha! That just sounded funny. You totally should have been like, "I think it looks yummy! If you're not going to eat it, can I have it?"

But yeah, he sounds like an ass. People like that are just UGH. Must they complain about everything? Life's too short for that.

Can't you refuse to sell alcohol to drunk customers? It sounds like you should give "nasty drunk guy" a piece of your service-refusing mind!

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure there's a law saying you can't sell to intoxicated people, but I'm too scared to turn down drunks. I've seen drunks get angry about their alcohol before. One guy who had bought two half-pints of peppermint schnapps came back later for more, and I told him that I thought I saw some pints under the counter one time. Whoever sold him the two half-pints earlier had no idea that we had any pints. So, he got really pissed and shouted and said that we were trying to rip him off. If I had known he'd get that mad, I wouldn't have pointed out the pints. So, I'm afraid of what Nasty Drunk Guy would do to me if I refused him his precious alcohol. Luckily, I don't see him there as much as I used to.
