Oh, dear God, no. No. PLEASE, NO. Just NO.It is much quicker and easier to read an answer than to be forced to sit through a video. Also, I often consume Quora content in public, on my iPhone or iPad, or in a room where other people are present. It would be very impolite to subject them to unwanted audio content, and I do not want to be forced to wear headphones to use Quora.NO and FUCK NO.

What are some dirty tactics used by fast food restaurants?Just before every spring and all throughout spring it happens.It has been a long day. I am tired. I really don't care for fast food but when I’m tired and lazy, what the heck - right?I get to the drive through window.voice:“welcome to _______ would you like to try a value meal?”Me:“Sure gimme a number <whatever> and a strawberry shake”voice:“OK that will be $10.59 please pull forward”So far so good right?I pull up, hand her a twenty, she takes my money then looks at me and says one of the following:Would you like to donate 5 dollars to feed starving third world children?Would you like to donate 5 dollars to send an underprivileged inner city kid to camp?Would you like to donate 5 dollars so an amputee can receive a leg?OK I made that last one up but you get what I am saying here.Now I am just the kind of person these people are looking for. I feel guilty if I walk past a bell ringer in the supermarket during the holidays if I don't at least give them a buck so it used to always work on me.Until one fateful day it happened.The woman at the window asked me:Would you like to donate 5 dollars to send an underprivileged inner city kid to camp?I told her “sure keep 5 bucks”Then as I drove off it hit me“I can’t afford to send my own kids to camp!”

From my family? Honestly? Not really. Because:If I needed something, I would have gotten it for myself.What I really want from my family is free time, but it’s an awkward gift to ask for. “Kids, for Christmas this year, please just leave me alone for 10 consecutive hours.”My wife and I are ultimately paying for the gifts we get anyway. It’s like buying yourself something you didn’t really want.From my students? At Christmas and the last day of school? Yes. My first year as a teacher, I was not expecting any gifts at all. I ended up with about 50 gift cards and a trunk full of other gifts to take home at Christmas, and slightly fewer on the last day of school.Here’s a tip for students: If you’re wondering what to get your teacher, Amazon gift cards are always a winner. Mugs filled with candy are nice, but… and I’m just being honest here… the candy gets eaten by my family and the mugs get thrown away because I have way too many already.
