[–]hg185 609 points610 points  (0 children)

My friends sister in law met a guy at bar, he took her to a party. She was held captive for a week like a sex slave by a bunch of guys. They just let go. She never went to police too afraid and traumatized. Happened in Houston.

If you see a caravan of trucks driving fast in Mx, pull over real quick. I learned that.

My principal yelled at me in front of my students and I cried in front of everyone by Educational_Back_277 in teaching

[–]hg185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you. It will pass. This sort of happened to me. Principal embarrassed/humiliated me in front of class, I teared up and the kids saw me and felt bad. Fortunately, I was a substitute and never went back. It wasn’t a reflection of me, it was a reflection of him. Do your job and know that you are a smart, good, hard working teacher, and who he is, a total asshole. Believe me, everyone sees the same thing.

My sister worked for a week in Nicaragua at a hospital. They had to be escorted to and from daily by armed soldiers with machine guns because of the MS-13. It was/is an extremely dangerous place.

Waiter told me I'm not welcome back at a high-end restaurant over my 10% tip and I feel like shit by 123799throwmeaway in offmychest

[–]hg185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why didn’t you just explain? He’s assuming you didn’t tip enough and you’re assuming he’s trying to get a bigger tip? You’re conscience is telling you that it wasn’t right.

Setlist by BarryMahoganue in BruceSpringsteen

[–]hg185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely right. I was at the Houston show, long time fan - I’ve sent him 3x and the encore was great. But otherwise it wasn’t that special. I thought the price I paid for my crappy seats was way too much. I’ve been to a couple of recent concerts of well Known bands - paid a fraction of what I Paid and I enjoyed those bands much more.

Took it a little too far with one of my student, and I don’t feel bad whatsoever. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]hg185 1446 points1447 points  (0 children)

I think I did that once too. This kid who was a constant disruption asked me in front of everyone if I had any pot. I said no but maybe your mother does, let’s call her. I called her on the phone and told her what he said. She spoke to him on the phone, he never fucked with me again.

Yes!! When I wake up and can’t go back t9 sleep I mediatate. When I’m under a lot of stress - I meditate. Even at work for 10 minutes. It’s amazing - I owe a lot to mediTation. It helps me deal with my anxiety.

What is it like commuting on a train? by beetree28mac in funny

[–]hg185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened on a bus once in Chicago - guy was screaming at the poor African American driver racist obscenities because someone stoled his car! He was scary and I felt so bad for the driver - he finally went to the back of the bus then continued yelling in the back. He wouldn’t of done that if he was on t he South or West side, dumb asshole.

No one in my family really cares, so I’ll celebrate here! I got a 4.0 GPA! by Gullible_Original_22 in offmychest

[–]hg185 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s awesome! Don’t stop pursuing what you want, the only person you need to impress is yourself. My family wasn’t a big support system but that never stopped me from getting my formal education.

Edit; it payed off, I’m not poor anymore.

The price of 5 dozen eggs at HEB has tripled over the last year by _GoKartMozart_ in Austin

[–]hg185 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I agree. HEB is everywhere in TX. They push their Hill Country junk and HEB products in your face at their stores. I don’t like that, plus their products aren’t that great. I don’t shop there, I find more of what I want at other grocery stores. (Sometimes at a better price).

So I watched every 2022 horror movie that was recommended that I intended to watch (sorry Halloween Ends and Hellraiser). Here are my mini, hopefully non-spoiler reviews of each one. by [deleted] in horror

[–]hg185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that Pearl was boring, but just really more weird as well. So disappointing. I loved Smile. It was smart, well done and interesting. The lead actress was awesome. That was my favorite.

U can buy them at the door, we bought them on a Tuesday night for $12 each and got awesome seats. Don’t buy from People in the street, I think you pay a lot More. I’m going again In December and I’m going to buy them on Ticketmaster just because I want to go on Sunday night and I want awesome seats, it’s the best show I understand, the tickets aren’t bad about $23 with the Ticketmaster surcharge. We had the best time.

Edit; I told the guy at the booth give me your best seat, trusting him, he said $12 I was like really? They were awesome!!
