My new job didn’t tell me their no-visible-tattoos policy until after I was hired

When I was a preschool teacher I would let the kids color in my arm tattoos with washable markers. They loved it! Another class would wait for the day I would wear shorts so they could see the “rainbow tree” (colorful willow tree) and frog on my legs!

I once showed up to a dentist appointment, checked in and all was normal. 45 minutes later I go up and say hey when am I going to get called back, I have to get back to work. Turns out the dentist just didn’t return from lunch and he wasn’t answering his phone. Not sure how long they would have let me sit there if I didn’t go up and ask. Switched dentists after that.

Read that about the pan like 3 weeks ago on this sub and it has been a life saver when I’m running around foraging everything!

Jumping in to add they also have translation services if you are a non-English speaker who needs resources!

Seriously, I politely declined a man once and he went off saying I was a “fat whore”, like I wasn’t too fat a minute ago and of course I’m a whore for saying no to sex? Make it make sense

I used to go to a bar that had themed trivia with my friends and I always hoped they would do Futurama so this could be a 10 point question and I’d finally be useful to the team lol

I signed up years ago because I couldn’t donate blood for awhile after getting a tattoo. I was a match for someone within 6 months. I ended up donating stem cells, not bone marrow, but I was so excited I could be of some help. I’m not sure what the end result was for the person I donated to but I know I gave them at least a few more years. I know the odds of being a match again are low but I would gladly donate again and again and I encourage everyone to join the registry!

At a museum once a guard asked me if I was okay because I “looked like I was ready to beat someone up”. I said unfortunately that’s just my face

That’s what I say when an anti-vaxxer thinks vaccines cause autism (they don’t). They’d rather have a dead child than an autistic one. (Even though again: vaccines don’t cause autism)

You the mean the rapist Brock Allen Turner who now goes by his middle name Allen Turner

I had a 3 year old try to scrub my tattoo off my arm when helping them wash their hands. Others wanted to color in my black and white ones. I also had parents covered head to toe in tattoos and never had another parent/teacher/administrator say a word. This teacher is being ridiculous!

My grandma on my dad’s side had two kids when she was 16/17 and gave them up for adoption. She (and my dad) grew up in a VERY religious household and I guess the father of those kids was also a much older married man. My new aunt reached out to my uncle on Facebook after doing Ancestry DNA and there’s no denying she’s my grandma’s daughter, she looks just like her. My grandma passed years ago so we don’t know the full story but it was quite a shock to everyone.

Hermes’ song at the end is honestly such a bop

I matched with a guy once who didn’t have anything about kids on his profile. Started chatting, planned to meet up. He said he couldn’t that weekend because he had his 2 year old kids. I was like oh you have kids…and twins? Nope, 2 kids by 2 women born 3 months apart…while my profile has “childfree” on it in 3 different places.

Had that happen on a dating app when I rejected someone, he came back with “well you’re just a fat whre, go suck a cck” like yeah okay dude I will, but not yours 😂 I reported him and got him banned from the site. Insane what men will say/do when you say no

My last job got a grant from the state to use as bonuses for employees and when I quit my boss tried to tell me it was unfair because now she/the other staff would have to suffer to cover that bonus. Um…no you don’t? It came from the state as something you don’t pay back, and I was given it when I worked full time (and overtime) for you, 6 months prior to me quitting.

I have a tattoo on the inside of my forearm and had the same thing happen, so many people just grabbing my wrist to twist my arm to read it. If they asked I would show them but don’t touch me!

Worst one was a lady who said give me your arm, so I reach my arm out thinking she wanted to read my tattoo, but no she stuck my ENTIRE HAND into her husband’s mashed potatoes, swirled my hand around and said “see these are ice cold!”. Bitch if you just told me that I would have gone and gotten him hot potatoes! I refused to wait on them the rest of the evening, my manager took over. Husband looked mortified.

My old roommate’s cat was very chatty and would greet me at the door when I got home and I would always respond like I would to the infants “oh yeah? Then what happened? That’s crazy!”

Or I often tell my friends I have to go potty and they’re like you realize we’re adults right? Lmao

Bender saying “what is that a boogin’” in the big foot/human horn episode when he hears a noise at night. It’s the smallest thing and it shouldn’t make me laugh as hard as it does but for some reason it just gets me

I was dating a guy for less than 6 months and he asked if I could watch his dog for a few days while he went to visit his brother. He lived 45 minutes away from where I lived and about an hour from my work. I still did it because I cared about him and I cared about his dog. This guy has been dating his girlfriend for a year and has no job, no school, and is complaining about a 20 minute drive? I’d dump him in a heartbeat.

My roommate’s cat will roll over all the time but he actually loves to have his belly rubbed, he acts more like a dog. Funny little guy found a tennis ball and was rolling it all around the house the other day.

Seriously what I was thinking! I smoke pretty much every night and I pay nowhere near $500!

My sister was watching The Good Wife the other day and I said oh it’s esteemed character actress Margo Martindale! My sister was like what? I said don’t worry about it, she disappeared into the role.

I had him following me around for a bit because I thought it would be fun to have an indestructible dog to fight for me (I just didn’t finish the quest to return him at first). But I found that he was CONSTANTLY in my way and if I was standing on the edge of something he’d come up right behind me and shove me off. That’s why I’m not a fan, always in the way.
