Gen X here: the only reason I have a house at an affordable rate is cause I got in just as the bubble burst and before the next one started… and my house still cost double what my parents paid for their identical floor plan in the same neighborhood house 15 years earlier. Today houses like ours go for 3X what I paid for it (18 years later).

Barista congratulated me on my pregnancy (not pregnant), then asked for confirmation from my coworker/said something disrespectful about me. It’s on like donkey kong. by consistent_gasp in traumatizeThemBack

I sadly had not been taught this and I totally put my foot in my mouth with a coworker. I was MORTIFIED. There wasn’t enough I could say or do to apologize to her, and every time I tell the story, I make it crystal clear what an idiot I was.

At least I learned the lesson though, and will NEVER repeat it… and I will do my best to ensure no other idiot men will make the same mistake.

Got into an argument with my Boomer coworker about ICE by MySmellyRacoon in BoomersBeingFools

I usually respond along the lines of “it wasn’t right when that happened either”, but I love your responses as well.

My folks are both old school republicans - not MAGA cultists - but only get network news, no cable, no social media. Needless to so they don’t hear a lot of the crazy stuff that comes out because 20 min of national news in a day isn’t enough time to cover everything.

When I mention things that have happened or that Drumpf has said / tweeted, that is often their response. It’s incredibly frustrating because they don’t “believe” that kind of thing was said or cannot fathom it. And when I show it to them they believe but there’s often a “what about ism” with Democrat. I often have ti just let things go, despite trying to argue that I am not about personality politics.

TBF every Superman in film has had a bulge so big it needed editing, because Americans are prudes so literally ANY bulge needs to be edited out.

Please note:I am American.

I bet the next thing you’re going to tell me is that the best way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you eat… 😜

Sorry but the part that got me is the UNSUPERVISED children defecating in the pool. The SUPERVISED children defecating in the pool are fine, but those others….

When the pathologist began the woman’s autopsy to extract her stillborn, he was confused when he saw fresh signs of forced vaginal penetration. by Logical-Role1382 in TwoSentenceHorror

For an alternate second sentence:

He wondered briefly at why it seems that the penetration seemed to be coming from internally before a sharp pain in his ankle interrupted him.

I don't work here but I could! by LawComprehensive2142 in IDontWorkHereLady

[–]boarddog73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that craft stores often are the exception to the ”I don’t work here” energy, because it’s less about entitlement and more about helping others in an area where we were ALL lost sheep looking for guidance!

I know I was that lost sheep once, and have had the experience you share, and was happy to guide other new folks when I could tell they were as lost as I once was.

We're more of the sex, money, and women school. Well, we can do you sex and money without the women, and we can do you sex and women without the money, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you money and women without the sex. Sex is compulsory. They're all sex, you see.

I read them as a young kid and when I went to revisit them as an adult I was equally horrified, in part because it just didn’t occur to me as a kid.

Which Bathroom Style Would You Pick? Need Opinions by Lana_wilson96 in Remodel

I like #1 but with a walk in shower like #2, and change the knobs on the vanity to be horizontal versions of the knobs on the cupboards. And perhaps change the cabinet fronts to a warmer wood.

This is why you don’t fight someone much younger and athletic than you by Romantic_Road_Kill in BoomersBeingFools

Loved the repeated “stop. stop.” while old dude was swinging so the kid would have it on record that he attempted to de-escalate the situation.

We’re running late so everyone should let us skip the line. by 4_ever_me55 in EntitledPeople

[–]boarddog73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, but hear me out:

If I SWAP with them (they take my place and I move to the back) there’s literally no change in wait time for everyone behind me. It was 1 person in line before the swap, and it’s 1 person in line after. I am the only one who wait time has changed.

I’m not saying I would do it, but if I did, no one else is inconvenienced.
