It's pretty fucking disgusting to use your dying father as an excuse to guilt trip a waitress into giving you free coffee. Shame on you.

I guilt tripped them into the seat but I wasn't expecting the coffee

I hope the waitress got reprimanded.

Tired of this fucking theft and socialism.

You know, OP... People do this all the time. They make up sob stories. That waitress probably thought you were a scammer.

however, you don't normally get the sob story from a timid educated middle class white kid with clean sneakers

I went to a Denny's before my online order was ready so they gave me a free soda while I waited, IHOP has done the same thing. OP isn't being a master thief here, the staff was just being nice by giving him something small. It's a good idea to treat people like that nicely because then when they do have money they might come back and buy something more substantial.

I did this before but it ended with me projectile vomiting my alcohol/food gorged belly all over their bathroom. I managed to hold it to the bathroom, so fuck them. And no I didn’t clean up a drop

it's called having empathy for the human experience dumbass. No wonder Americans have such high rates of mental illness, they're constantly trying to jew each other and look at interpersonal relationships as some sort of transactional ledger

Unfortunately that's a pretty insightful analysis of mutt human interaction nowadays. We simply lack the "joi de vivre" which includes empathy that other countries possess in abundance. Smarter people than me will have to explain why.

Well that's the million dollar question, right? Truth be told I got the idea from hardcore Marxists (analysing modern women who complain about "emotional labour" in relationships) who would blame capitalism. National Socialists would say our raison d'être is for our race and for our traditions which give us our identity and the idea of perpetual struggle, the Japanese would give some reason about 'ikigai', the Chinese would say one must live for our parents and for the goodness of 'society', Kaczynski types would blame technology for the lack of soulful actions in today's world. 4chan itself is full of disaffected young men looking for their place in a world that has turned their back on them, so they are willing to entertain these types of ideologies.
