When I was in college, I was at a bar and when I asked for my tab, I noticed the bartender was hiding something. I thought it was another charge...nope, it was an indicator it was my tab, but instead of my name, the tab read "FAG". He knew enough to be embarrassed as to not show mw, but obviously not smart enough to not even write it.

I hope more people start outing falsehoods like this!
