Starbucks and Panera Bread often have a couple tables by outlets that I have often seen other people using. Don’t know what is near where you work, but worth checking out the places.

I often correct minor gaffes made by my friends and family when they quote movies or try to draw analogies between things. I have this need for things to be perfectly correct when it comes to comparisons or things I consider important (even though they really aren’t that important).

My only hangup is that when attractive women throw themselves at me, I can’t bring myself to take them up on it.  Otherwise I’m perfect.

The question isn’t why are you admitting going to strip clubs on a blog read by you mother and your wife, but rather “Why are you going to strip clubs” as you are obviously not enjoying the experience.

Me, I line things up, ,making sure things are perpendicular and with in lines on the desk.

You say this as though my wife and mother aren’t aware that I’ve visited a strip club on occasion. My wife has absolutely no problems with me visiting a strip club as she ends up getting extra attention once I get home.

And, as I said, I generally don’t frequent strip clubs because I have a hard time overcoming my hangup that it’s rude to stare even when people expect you to. I have a friend who used to frequent them often, however, so I inevitably would end up at one every now and then. There’s also the handful of guys I’ve known who got married and had a traditional bachelor party at a strip club.

One of my most irritating hangups is that i don’t like to waste food, my mum was raised not to waste food and it seems to have passed down to me, i don’t even like seeing other people throw out food.

As for using power points that aren’t your own, it does seem rude but you could always ask, used to plug mine in at a dive bar while i was at uni

flat beer and little britain made up the majority of my university life

Boy someone thinks I might be a prude.  If my baby boy wants to look at bare skin that’s all right with me.

Somebody dragged me to a Hooter’s once. I was uncomfortable there for the exact reason you mention, then resent paying high prices for bad food.  So visiting a strip bar probably isn’t in my future.

New aftermarket battery for your L400 is $25 on eBay.

Hmmm. May have to look into picking up one of the batteries then.

But, but, but I never accused anyone of being a prude.  I specifically said that it isn’t the question

Actually I guessed it was you were being dragged along.

resent paying high prices

which is why I don’t go. I have seen the occasional ‘exotic dancer’ but I don’t understand the point of going just to get yourself all hot and bothered and unable to ‘scratch the itch’.  I understand some clubs patrol the Gents, and throw offenders out (alone, if you will).

Why pay only to look? You can look on the internet all you want and they’re not going to do anything back, they don’t even know (so I keep pics of friends on facebook) - you can do more off the internet with the same money as would be needed to go to a stipclub, for those single, and not (necessarily) have to eat anything…

Here‘s a good review site of other services to consider (UK only)

BTW my stupid, illogical hangup is excessive nervousness around wymen I like

What DOF said.

Somebody’s wide open wireless is spilling over into the covered pavillion with power outlets at the community center just to the northwest of where you work.  Nobody ever bothers me there.
