everyone should work in the food service industry

Not for life. At least once. You don't realize how big of a dick people can be until you work in a restaurant.  Uh I said lime not lemon with my water? Um I didn't want salt on my fries, and theres nothing on the menu that says theyre salted. This toast is too toasted, please bring me some less toasted toast. Alright bud let me get right on that. Got nothing else to do, youre my first and only priority. The thing is though I wouldnt wish working in a restaurant on anyone, its just a necessary skill set to be able to deal with people you inherently dont like. Especially a corporate owned restaurant, because that shit is the absolute worst. My first waiting job was working a pizza place and dealing with tourists and their assclown children, tearing up straws wrappers, spilling their shirley temples and spitting out chewed up crayons. THanks for the neon rainbow puke fest that I have to clean up and $3.50 tip asshole. Next time take your family to taco bell where janitor duty and cheesy gordita crunch assembly are one in the same job.

Heard John McEnroe saying this during a tennis match one time and couldnt agree more. Fans at golf and tennis events should be allowed to scream shit and say whatever they want, and not have to adhere to some bullshit code of silence. If I'm dropping hundreds of dollars to see Tiger shoot in the 80s or Rafael Nadals roided out arms blast 140mph serves the privilege of heckling is including in the price of admission. During, after, and before shots/putts. The argument that golf takes such concentration that complete silence is necessary is the most flawed argument I've ever heard. If I can drain clutch game winning free throws in my CYO basketball games with half a dozen rabid fans sitting in the stands like I did so often back in the day, then I think Rory McIlroy can hit a 3 foot putt with some background chatter coming from the stands. Granted there weren't millions of dollars on the line in my CYO basketball games. But my point stands. Basically, making a putt = making a free throw and serving a tennis ball = throwing a slider and hitting the outside corner.
