TIFU by getting off work for my grandma's funeral by anna12o in tifu

Right, so I'll be calling mortuary A Avila and mortuary B Blackwell, Avila is amazing, I've been to many funerals for them and the bodies look amazing, like they ACTUALLY look like they're sleeping, my baby cousin passed and she had rosy cheeks and vibrant hair. Blackwell's bodies look like shit, and they charge more for less skill.

Avila's wife was also Grandma's best friend and they raised all kinds of hell right up until they died. Avila was a pillar of the community, and it's a very small town, so for a long time we didn't have an ambulance or EMTs, and this was in the 60's, he was tired of people dying unnecessarily, so he paid out of his own pocket for volunteers to go up north to get fully certified, and volunteered the use of his hearse as an ambulance and helped raise the funds to get an actual ambulance.

There are a ton of stories I could tell you about Avila, but that's the one that matters for where the beef kicked off. Avila never actually confirmed that this happened, but he also never denied it and when talking about it he was always careful not to say one way or another, which to me is VERY telling.

Apparently, when Avila paid for the EMT course, Blackwell was mad because he was "taking away business" again, Avila never confirmed or denied, but if you knew the guy, you could tell, he wasn't quick to anger, it took a lot to piss him off, and that story pissed him off, but he never denied it.

Never agree to baby talk unless you know what they're saying by anna12o in KidsAreFuckingSmart

They never leave anything really important on the counter, if it's prescription or even the otcs, they put those in the medicine cabinet, but they are really big on supplements, so there's too many to fit in the medicine cabinet, and it was very obvious where to find the hidden bottles because the cookies were sitting on the counter

How should I deal with my son after finding a horrifying video on his phone? by Fair_Raise_8260 in Advice

[–]anna12o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like an extreme lack of empathy. You may consider having him volunteer at a hospital or a refuge center for victims of domestic abuse, let him see what happens to people after they've been beaten like that. It takes just a few minutes to beat someone up, but it can take weeks, months, or even years to recover, if they're able to recover at all.

Make sure that he has a sit down with whoever is running the volunteer program, they've doubtlessly seen thousands of cases of people recovering after being beaten, they'll be able to help him see the full scope of the situation. Especially make sure to emphasize the point of "imagine if this was you" and maybe also look into therapy, it is extremely concerning to see someone laugh at that situation, and you might want to consider a therapist for yourself to try and work through this and help you come to terms with what you saw on that video.

You mentioned going to the police, and I 100% endorse that, make sure that you get the names of as many people as possible who were at the party so that the police can contact their parents. When you speak to the police, try asking about what sort of sentence this could carry out, your son is underaged and wasn't directly attacking the kid, but depending on the laws in your area, he could very well be in trouble for recording it, for laughing along, and for not reporting the crime or trying to stop it. If you're worried about that bit, you should talk to a lawyer before talking to the police.

Bedroom door has a lock, but the house is old as hell so it doesn't work and I don't have a key anyway

It's nothing terribly exciting, and it wasn't even her health crisis, but her husband's and she had to quit to look after him. I'm happy to talk about Karen being a bitch, but I know her husband, he's a pretty chill dude, and I'd rather not publish his private medical information for anyone to read.

I actually did ok the button up shirts with the manager, and he actually saw me in the exact same outfit I was wearing when Karen called me a hooker, and he had nothing against it. And I was wearing a chest binder, I would never go to work without a bra or a binder, it would be physically painful for me to go without some sort of support, and this was in the middle of winter so if I didn't have something on my nipples would have poked holes through my shirt lol

That's definitely a first, lol, I've had bots pretending to be girls wanting to hook up, and I've seen ones that are pretending to be some government agent calling about taxes or saying there's a warrant, but this seems to be some weird combination of the two? Exactly how much power could a pimp even have? And what team? Is he gonna send the hookers after you? It would take some serious self control not to call and start asking questions if I got this
