I swear, every time I click on a Yelp link on Google “just to check to see if they take reservations” I get sucked into a never-ending wormhole of increasing hatred of everyone else who lives in my neighborhood. My favorite ever was some chick who wrote multiple reviews of increasingly hysteric…

Judge Samuel Leibowitz at first tried persuasion. But when Gross bolted off the witness stand, the judge growled: “Bring that man back.”
Gross: “I refuse to take the stand.”
Leibowitz: “Bring him back and have the gentleman sit down on the stand, by order of the court. I will chain you to the stand with handcuffs. You cannot thwart the dignity of the court in that...
