This is relevant to the topic...my co-worker was telling me yesterday how a group of six girls at his daughter's JUNIOR HIGH snuck tequila into school and got wasted. I'm just like to that whole thing.

I don't personally think they are *that* different, but I do think one drink at a business lunch is slightly different than a bottle of wine in a lecture where you are supposed to be learning. I don't currently have the words to coherently explain why, though. Because a business lunch is intended to have a socializing feel. I get what you're saying. Especially if you are entertaining clients it is almost a portion of the job so to speak

If I was gonna be drunk in class and/or wanted to drink, I'd just skip it. Why even bother?

My food UO is that French macarons are overrated. I tried some authentic ones, but mehh. Nothing special.

Macarons are always so pretty but just don't look appealing to me.

Yes, they are definitely pretty. I mean, they are not a horrible taste either, just not the most amazing thing I've ever tasted.

Of all the ones I tried, the nutella ganache flavor was what I would choose if I was to eat them again lol

I used to not get the macaron love. Then I had some from Ladurèe. I’m all in. I will say it’s 100% who makes them. There’s some bad macarons out there.

Middle schoolers should sneak wine coolers, not tequila. ;-)

I'm just like to that whole thing. I was briefly friends with a girl in 8th grade that regularly snuck tequila into school in her water bottle. My 13 year old brain was like 😳😱. Now it makes me sad thinking about her.

A good macaron is heaven. A mediocre macaron is definitely not worth it.

It almost feels like it was a dare or something. I would agree with all of this, it’s very attention seeking to bust out an entire bottle of wine. Was it a twist top at least, or did she produce her bottle opener and make a production out of that? It was twist top, and she did not consume the whole bottle. She did share with others. They were casually sipping it throughout, and there was wine left in the bottle a the end of lecture. It did not occur again (or at least openly) that semester.

I do not like the look of ankle dress pants on men. This is apparently a UO in my workplace because I’m seeing them everywhere. At first I like whoops, someone accidently put their work pants in the dryer. But I’ve seen enough now to figure out it must be a trend.
