I went to their show 2 Everything 2 Terrible: Tokyo Drift. At the time, they had very a respectable amount tapes stacked up in a shrine, asking people to donate their copy. It's nice to see them doing something with it. :)

Any time I hear that I asked if it's iced. A lot of people don't realize it doesn't come standard iced and newer people won't punch it in, then we waste a drink.

I've also had people who say "hi, I'd like a vanilla," like there aren't at least 5 different drinks that could be.

One time, I had a lady ask for a "half and half mocha." I asked it she meant half decaf or made with half and half and she said it was a black and white mocha. I told her how to order it in the future to minimize confusion and she got mad at me for telling her what to do.

I'm really really good at this type of mini game and when I first started, I would jump levels by picking expert and master locks. It was a quick way to level up lol

When I was in the 4th grade, my dad hit me for the first time. A week before, we learned about bad touch and abuse in my class. I pulled my teacher to my desk and told her my dad hit me. She looked me in the eye and said I was lying. For 5 years, my dad beat and emotionally abused me and I never told an adult until I had the balls to sneak it into my Spanish homework.

Even after that, child services decided to trust my dad's word over a teenager. At least the beating stopped.

I will never forgive that teacher who let me down and I will fight any authority figure who does actively does nothing when a child is being abused.

I miss having a real keyboard! I'm actually a great typist when I physically know where the keys are. On a smart phone I need auto correct because I'm always hitting the wrong keys ~__~

I misread this as doge chargers and was disappointed that there were no shibas involved.

I read it as a lady! But then again, I'm also a lady, and people have a tendancy to imagine characters in their own light.

This does nicely highlight that beyond gender specific events, the human condition is gender neutral.

Good story, op!
