Corner Miter on Front Porch Decking My builder just wrapped up the front porch, and I'm not sure how I feel about this corner miter. It just doesn’t look right and it feels like it detracts from the overall appearance. I realize this is most likely due to not having a full width board against the house, but can you think of a better way here that looks cleaner..?

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I still think there’s a time and place for everything.

I drove by and noticed someone doing yard work out front without a shirt on, with tools, dirt, and everything spread across the lawn near the street. I get it — it’s hot, yard work is exhausting, and people should be comfortable on their own property.

At the same time, when it’s right out in front of the neighborhood where families are walking by, kids are outside, and cars are passing, I do think a little courtesy goes a long way.

Nobody needs to be dressed up to dig in the yard, but throwing on a shirt when you’re working in full view of everyone doesn’t seem like too much to ask.

Am I the only one who still feels like front yards are shared neighborhood space in a way?

Please help 😭
We're currently moving out of our rental and just discovered this awful damage to the floor.
One of the metal legs under our bed broke at some point and was hanging down. We must have moved the bed without realizing it, and it ended up scratching the absolute hell out of the laminate flooring.
We're kind of freaking out because move-out inspection is coming up. Is there any realistic way to repair or at least improve damage like this, or are we probably looking at losing part of our security deposit?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I recently paid a plumber $300 to fix a leak. The plumber cut an access hole, fixed the pipe, and then inserted a square piece back in place without any further work. When I inquired about finishing the job, the plumber suggested painting over it, believing the latex paint would bridge the noticeable gap. Given the significant size of the gap, this solution seems inadequate. I am questioning the quality of work and wondering if I should seek a refund.

As a customer, this kind of grocery delivery would be pretty frustrating. 😅

The order made it to the door, but the way it was left doesn’t feel very thoughtful. The walkway is wet, the bags are sitting right next to puddles, and the heavy water and soda cases are placed close to the door where they could make it harder to get everything inside.

I understand delivery drivers are busy and the weather can make things harder. But groceries are expensive, and when you’re paying delivery fees, service fees, and a tip, it feels fair to expect a little care with where the order is placed.

Even just moving the bags to a drier spot or keeping the doorway clear would make a big difference.

Would this bother you too, or would you just bring it inside and let it go? 👀🛒

Maybe I'm overreacting, but this driveway has me second-guessing myself.

We just invested $10,800 in a new concrete driveway, and although the finish looks great, the layout isn't what I imagined. The large grass strip between the tire tracks makes it look more like a pair of concrete paths than a traditional driveway.

The contractor says it's intentional, cost-effective, and aesthetically pleasing. I get the concept, but from certain angles it honestly looks like the middle section was forgotten altogether.

Curious what others think—does this style look good to you, or would it feel a little unfinished?

Tonight, a table left a $0 tip on a $19 bill because they thought the service charge was already the gratuity.

And honestly, I don’t think they were trying to be rude. I think they were confused — and that’s becoming a huge problem in restaurants right now.

Every place seems to handle service charges differently. At some restaurants, it goes to the staff. At others, it gets split, pooled, partially kept, or used for things like operating costs, benefits, or back-of-house support.

But at our restaurant, the service charge does not go directly to the server as a tip.

So after taking care of a table, refilling drinks, timing the meal, answering questions, checking in, and making sure everything goes smoothly, it’s discouraging to see the final tip come through as:

$0.00

The hard part is that a lot of guests probably believe they already tipped when they see a service charge on the bill. And honestly, I can understand why they’d think that.

That’s why clearer communication matters so much. If a service charge is not a gratuity, restaurants need to make that obvious before customers are paying the check.

Most guests are acting in good faith. Servers are just tired of being caught in the middle of a confusing system where nobody really knows where the money is going.

After enough nights like this, it starts to wear on you.

I understand that comfort plays a substantial role in contemporary culture, however, I continue to encounter difficulty in habituating to patrons attending restaurants in loungewear and slippers, as it blurs the line between public and private spaces.

I remember when 20% just felt like the normal “you did the right thing” tip.

Now? You leave that and still find yourself second-guessing it after.

Nobody says anything out loud. No comments, no reaction. But then you look at the receipt and see 25% circled, the total circled again, maybe even a little note breaking it down like it’s mandatory.

And suddenly it doesn’t even feel optional anymore.

Prices keep going up, bills keep getting bigger, and somehow the “standard” just quietly shifts right along with it.

So now I’m just left wondering… is this still a tip anymore, or just another expectation we’re all supposed to hit?
