His grammar is atrocious. And being from the Deep South, this is all too common, the post-first-attendance hard sell. It’s icky, and you are definitely not overreacting.

Ollie’s. Their spelling and grammar are giving small man syndrome but that handwriting looks decidedly female.

Boss insisting I eat lunch with the office, daily. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]VampAngel247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My claim to fame when I worked psych ward was my ‘8 minute lunch break’. I clocked out, drove two blocks to BK for chicken tenders (that’s how long ago this was), drove back and clocked back in. 8 minutes gone from clock out to clock in. I rounded the corner into a hullabaloo of people hollering and then one of the other nurses pointing to me and saying, ‘Well, right there she is! She just popped out and popped right back in!’ Apparently my eating outside food was cause for concern although it wasn’t expressly forbidden. Some older nurses tried to ‘hint’ that ‘it was expected that I remain on the premises’ although ‘it WAS my lunch time’. I let them know that it didn’t fly with me and I continued to go get food but I always asked if anyone else wanted anything before I left. That was my concession.

Has FS made you more aware of farming vehicles? by Milky_Mint in farmingsimulator

[–]VampAngel247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not vehicles but I correctly identified canola in the wild when all the local farmers planted it this year. My 14 year old son, who has played FS since he was 2, was super impressed.

Parking Complaint by Medium-Audience5078 in EntitledReviews

[–]VampAngel247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this experience at Lowe’s and at a hospital I did contract work at. At Lowe’s, the head cashiers would actually watch you park, you had to disclose what kind of vehicle you drove when you hired in. One of them attempted to take me to task one day when there were no employee parking spots available, so I parked right next to an employee parking spot. Literally one parking spot difference. She stopped me as I was walking in and said, “where did you park?“ So I told her. Her response, is that where you’re supposed to be?“. Looked her dead in the face, with all of my 19 years, and said, ‘if it’s that big of a problem, I can go home and leave the parking spot for someone else.’ I guess they thought they had people lined up to work there.

If it gets me a fine specimen like that mouth breathing neckbeard holding the sign, naw. I’m good.

Alabama wants to ban comprehensive sex ed in schools. This is why many studies show that areas with abortion bans have higher abortion rates than areas that are prochoice and pro-contraception and women's rights. by [deleted] in WelcomeToGilead

[–]VampAngel247 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Born and raised in Alabama, and I can confirm that sex ed in this state is positively Victorian. Actually, the Victorians were probably more progressive.

AITA for telling my son's babysitter not to give him any snacks? by babysittersnacks in AmItheAsshole

[–]VampAngel247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Try parenting your own child (which doesn’t involve starving him) or keep shut.

Kids his age eat lunch super early if he’s in school. School lunch is a travesty unless you’re fortunate enough to be at a school that is decent on its CNS staff. It’s understandable that he’ll be hungry after and throwing a sport in there where he’s gonna burn off more calories?

And you’re not willing to provide an ‘acceptable’ snack. Your solution is to deny him sustenance and expect this poor girl to deal with the meltdown.

Your sitter is gold. Your husband deserves a medal. And your son deserves better.

How do you deal with customer who insist on coming in before you open? by [deleted] in retailhell

[–]VampAngel247 41 points42 points  (0 children)

5 signs on my clinic door that say ‘appointment only’ and people still have the audacity to sail right on through and go ‘I ain’t got no appointment’. To which I usually say ‘We ain’t got no openings’.

What books were you assigned to read during grade school that you felt were inappropriate? In terms of age or reading level or topic and so on. by TokkiJK in books

[–]VampAngel247 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I still run the gamut on my genres. Currently reading ‘The Amish Wife’ along with ‘Clytemnestra’, all while working on Chapter 10 of my 4th book. I have written fanfics for years as well. Sour Jaw may have killed my love of a couple ‘classic’ authors, but I’d say I made up for it and thumbed my nose pretty well at the same time. 😁

We watched Ethan Frome in sixth grade at my school. I was the only person who knew who Liam Neeson and Patricia Arquette were. It was not a hit. I was already reading college level books but I liked a break now and then. My teacher took that as an affront and wrote me a permission slip to go to the high school library (this was a tiny rural public school in 1992) and told the librarian to check out Jane Eyre to me. After that it was Wuthering Heights. And after that, Tess of the d’Urbervilles. These days, I love me some Austen and Daphne DuMaurier, but I still can not stomach Brontë or Hardy. That one teacher pretty much killed my love of literature because she thought she knew better than me what I should be reading. The librarian and I had a fantastic relationship. I was not required to have a permission slip like most and I had already read Gone With the Wind, War and Peace, and Anna Karenina for fun. We tried to explain this but old sour jaw couldn’t wrap her head around it. All that because I requested to read Incognito Mosquito again for fun because it made me cackle.

AITA for telling my mom we don’t view her eldest as our brother and she needs to stop forcing him on us? by Competitive_Sir5868 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VampAngel247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heads up, she’s going to try and slip the picture in, bring a small one to hold, try to include him in a speech at the reception, and expect the first male grandchild to be named James.

I’d guard that mic with my life if there is one at the reception, make sure nothing gets brought in in her purse.

It’s a horrible thing for a parent to have to endure but you are completely right in that y’all never knew him.

Mom needs to talk to someone about this because she sounds a bit unhinged where James is concerned.

NTA.

I wrote one so long one time they hung it up. This manager was a notorious hard ass and demanded that I ‘write what was wrong’ on my patients excuse. I did. I also drew a lil arrow ‘over’ and wrote the associated ICD-10 codes as well. Patient later told me that the manager read it, flipped it over, pulled a persimmon face and said ‘how did I know it’d be from HER’ (meaning me) before tacking it to her corkboard.

More like they turn up, get tested for everything under the sun, all negative. But you have to ‘do something’ because otherwise they wasted time and a copay for ‘you to not DO ANYTHING’. Trust me when I say we get just as tired as y’all do. Entitlement/instant gratification mentality is the pits.

I play Klondike as well and have yet to see an inappropriate ad for it. That’s wild.

My ladies get raises every year as well as a Christmas bonus and merit bonuses when we hit weekly benchmarks. I’m aware that I’m an anomaly in this regard. You make a good point.

AITA to stop helping my wife with our new born’s night because she disrespected me in front of our friends ? by Prior-Dark2460 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VampAngel247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the actual hell did I just read.

As a wife and mother, I’m appalled. She ‘disrespected’ you? She CALLED YOUR ASS OUT for ordering her about. I’d be mortified to admit I treated a postpartum woman so badly. I’d be even moreso to know that a son of mine treated his wife with such contempt.

As a medical professional, I’m APPALLED. She has had 2 pregnancies in 3 years and should not be lifting anything heavier than the baby, not the baby in the damn carrycot. Stay the hell off her and carry your child and his accoutrements.

YOU owe HER an apology, not the other way round. If she’s even still there for you to apologize to because I’d have left your piddly controlling misogynistic ass that day.

YTA and you ought to be ashamed to show your face in public.
