All my blood uncles were that way until I was in high school and are now all uncles by marriage status. Sad.
Bae’s theorem:
yeah those are gold
when I waited tables (back in the 90s) you could just tell the dishwashers were cut from different cloth. that last one is super accurate, those dudes just worked their asses off.
In high school I got a job as a dishwasher. After two days I said “fuck this I quit” (after my shift ofc). I can still remember that restaurant served nachos, and the cheese was all baked onto the plate. Hell to the no. Later in life when I worked as a server I always had great respect for the dishwashers.
I lived in a fraternity in college and nachos were a snack staple food. Shredded cheese on top of chips then microwaved. Any cheese that hit the plate was stuck to that plate like super glue. Dishwashing duties rotated throughout the week and the offending nacho chefs got in the habit of only dropping their nacho plates in the sink on other people’s nights. So that lead to a rule of “wash your own fucking nacho plates.” That lead to a sudden spike of missing plates. That brought in bylaw change #2 of “Buy your own fucking paper plates if you’re going to make nachos.”

Haha my fraternity had to switch to paper plates for similar reasons.
Sidenote on fraternities: have you ever thought about formally withdrawing? I have. Having been (or being, technically) a member of a fraternity is not something of which I am proud. We were one of the “good” ones but some pretty bad shit still happened, and that’s just the stuff I know about.

My fraternities chapter was pretty good too, none of the stereotypically bad shit happened. It wasn’t much different from what you would expect of 15 or so guys all living in one house. I have basically no affiliation with the fraternity whatsoever at this point. I keep up with a few of the brothers on social media but that’s about it. I rarely even think about it anymore other than when I’m sharing some stories from those days.
