This is one of those situations where I can genuinely see both sides.

On one hand, kids drawing with sidewalk chalk is about as harmless as childhood activities get.

On the other hand, when it consistently happens in front of the same house, it's understandable that a homeowner might not want their view covered in drawings all the time.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to put up a simple, respectful sign asking that the chalk art be done elsewhere.

Not because I dislike kids.
Not because I dislike creativity.

Simply because I believe it's okay for homeowners to have preferences about the space directly in front of their property.

Some people think that's reasonable.
Others think it's unnecessarily strict.
Maybe the interesting question isn't about the chalk at all.

Maybe it's about where we draw the line between community space and personal boundaries.

What do you think? 🤔

Can someone explain this logic?

I recently got a restaurant bill that already had an automatic 18% service charge added.

Fair enough—more places are doing this now.

But then I looked at the fine print and saw:
“This charge is not a tip or gratuity.”

And that’s where I got confused.

Because from a customer perspective, when you see an extra 18% added to the total, you naturally assume it’s related to service in some way.

So if it’s not a tip… then what is it?

Is it going to the staff?
Is it covering operating costs?
Is it basically just a hidden fee with a different name?

And the bigger question: are you still expected to tip on top of it?

That’s where it starts to feel unclear. Because at that point it almost looks like you’re being asked to pay for service twice—once through the mandatory charge and again through an optional tip.

In my case, I didn’t leave an extra tip, because adding another service-related payment on top of an 18% charge didn’t feel straightforward.

This isn’t about the staff at all. Servers work hard and deserve fair pay.

It’s more about transparency.

If a restaurant needs to add 18% to make the model work, why not just adjust menu prices instead of adding a separate charge that leaves customers guessing what they’re actually paying for?

So I’m curious—what would you do in this situation? Tip extra, or consider the 18% enough?

This is actually unbelievable…

I’m on vacation in Clearwater with my family including my younger siblings just trying to enjoy a nice walk on the boardwalk, and I’m forced to see this vulgar “Dick’s Last Resort” restaurant again. This place is literally everywhere in Florida. You can’t escape it.

The name alone is completely inappropriate. “Dick’s”? In a highly family-oriented tourist area full of kids? My little brothers and sisters do not need to be exposed to that kind of trashy, low-class vibe while we’re trying to have a wholesome vacation.

This is not the place for crude humor and vulgar restaurant names. Some of us are trying to enjoy time with our children without having to explain what “Dick’s” means.

The lack of decency and respect for families in these tourist spots is actually insane.

Take that sign down and pick a better name. This kind of garbage has no place in a family destination.

Nothing says confidence quite like driving down the road with your entire arm hanging out the window like you're blessing the traffic behind you. 😭

I spent part of my commute today behind a guy who appeared to be conducting an invisible orchestra.

Every few seconds:

👋 Wave.
👋 Gesture.
👋 Random arm movement.
👋 More arm movement.

Meanwhile I'm sitting there wondering if he's talking to someone, directing airplanes, or just enjoying the breeze.

Look, I know people rest their arm on the door all the time.

But when your arm is spending more time outside the vehicle than inside it, you've crossed into performance art.

Am I the only one who finds this weirdly distracting, or would you just ignore it and keep driving? 🚗💀

How much responsibility should someone bear for leaving a shopping cart loose in a parking lot?

I ask because I returned to my truck today and found scratches, dents, and paint damage that appear to have been caused by a cart.

The most frustrating part isn't even the damage.
It's knowing how easily it could have been prevented.

Most stores provide cart returns throughout the lot, and putting a cart away takes almost no time at all.

Yet abandoned carts remain everywhere.

Some people blame the wind.
Some blame the store.
Some blame the person who left it.

Personally, if you leave a cart where it can roll into someone else's property, that seems pretty straightforward.

What do you think?

Minor mistake, or complete lack of consideration? 🤔🚗
