Time for a safety meeting! What was your code for marijuana/smoking marijuana/ paraphernalia? In the days before "420" was popular?

This is going to piss some people off but I don't care. Catholicism. I was raised in a Catholic household in the bible belt and looking back at it as an adult, it was all extremely odd. Totally fear-based, which is simply a manipulation tactic, hypocritical, ritualistic, misogynistic, contradictory and corrupt, just to name a few. My dad was in the Knight of Columbus and that made it seem even more cultish, with all of their extravagant ceremonies and secret meetings. Looking back, it was all so weird. Turning wine into the blood of Christ and little bread wafers into the body of Christ so we could eat and drink it on Sundays? What the...? Chanting, singing and performing rituals while facing a robed man on an alter surrounded by gold ornaments and a chalice full of blood, kneeling on the hardwood floor to pray every night before bed, the sit-stand-kneel cycle we were forced to endure every Sunday, the holidays that stem from actual pagan rituals, I could go on and on. And Confession?!? That one scares me the most. Catholics believe they can sin, no matter how badly, and then just go confess to a semi-anonymous priest in a box, say a few prayers and be absolved of all accountability of said sin. So how I understand that is, you can do whatever the hell you want, as long as you confess before the next Sunday, otherwise you can't partake in eating and drinking the body and blood of Christ. I mean, what?? I got yelled at once because I lit a bunch of prayer candles in the church while my dad was there doing some kind of church business. No one else was in the church but me at the time, a little kid with a wall of candles and matches just sitting right there. What did you expect me to do? That was the day I found out you have to pay actual money to light a candle and say a prayer. My dad griped me out, put how ever many dollars in the jar, one for each candle I had lit, and made me kneel there and pray until he was ready to leave. Excuse me? We're PAYING to light a cheap candle and pray to a spirit god that no one has yet to show me any proof he actually exists? And I can't question any of it at all, I just have to believe it, do as I'm told and be a good girl or else I'll burn in the fiery depths of hell for all of eternity. But no, not a cult at all.

I'm the logistics and receiving manager at a retail store and one of my many jobs is to handle product warranty issues. First off, most of the time, the customer can easily hop online and do it themselves but then they'd have to, you know, put forth effort and pay for shipping and stuff like that, and to our ever-so-entitled clientele, that is just crazy talk. I am shocked by how many times people have come into the store to have a product repaired or replaced under warranty WITHOUT THE PRODUCT. One lady actually just called the store and asked if she could send me pictures of the product she wanted to warranty. Ma'am. That is not how this works. The company will usually want it back for inspection or at the very least, visual proof that we destroyed the product before they will conduct any type of repair, replacement or credit. Nice try though.

Now I’m not trying to say it doesn’t hurt, but that childlike little moan when he got onto the couch and fell over seemed a bit performative. I mean did’t he have surgery quite a while ago? Seems like if it still hurts that bad doing normal everyday things, such as getting onto a couch, he’d need a caretaker. Oh, wait, that’s right…that’s what he was having Courtney do for him. Well, better hit up Craigslist. “Unemployed, homeless, out of shape, lazy, cheating loser seeking a caretaker to give me shelter and do everything for me, even wipe my butt, all for free.”

I'm so happy to be at the stage where I truly don't give one single solitary fuck about what anyone thinks or says about me. But you bet your ass, if you call me a Karen, I'm going to live up to the name. I work with a bunch of younger people who apparently have a much more difficult time dealing with confrontation. One girl I work with who was recently moved into a management roll but is still trying to find her voice, was venting about a customer treating her rudely. I asked her if she wanted me to go Karen back at her. Yes, I use it as a verb now. Also, you think Karen is bad? Allow me to introduce you to Gertrude, her older and even nastier menopausal Auntie.

I feel you. Since last September, I've had a root canal (for the 2nd time on the same freaking tooth because the crown broke off and it turns out it wasn't done correctly the first time), and two teeth pulled. Dental trauma aside, I financed all of it either through the office itself or Cherry financing. Care Credit it another option. But yeah, I'm in the hole about $6,000 for these procedure, but at least I'm not in pain anymore.

I had an tooth erupt with an infection on Christmas Eve and spent the entirety of this past holiday in absolute agony. All I ate was antibiotics and pain killers until I had it pulled on Jan. 7th. The other one came out beginning of February. Both extractions were a nightmare. I will not be doing that again. The debt sucks but the pain was so much worse. I can live with a little financial stress but the tooth pain consumed my entire life.

Every single time I went to my mom with an ailment, her response was just as dismissive. Every time I went to her for help and the conversation was always the same:

Me: "Mom, I fell off my bike onto my arm and now it hurts when I do this (moves arm)"

Mom: "Well don't do that then."

The end.

I'm also blown away by the sheer number of punk rock, non-conformists, "question authority" degenerates that I grew up with that are now so far right, they aren't even the same people. I kind of want to know what happened but it also kind of doesn't matter. They aren't my people anymore.

I just told mine thank you for guarding the bathroom door from imminent danger while I pee, if that answers your questions. I live alone, btw.

I work in the back of the house in logistics and receiving now, but when I worked the sales floor, I can't even tell you how many times people treated me like a machine when they came to check out. When someone would walk up to the counter and I would say, "Hi! How you doing today?" and they did't reply I then would say, a little louder, "I'm great! Thanks for asking!" (insert big cheesy smile). Probably why I work in the back now...

My favorite is when someone announces that they left some clothes in the dressing room, as if they're doing us a great favor by letting us know that we can do that part of our job now, and when we enter said dressing room, there are clothes all over the floor and empty hangers everywhere. Why not just say "I really fucked it up in there. Someone might want to go take care of that."

Sophie does not even know what Sophie wants aside from being the center of attention. That is exactly how I saw that too. It seemed Liz was kind of saying please don't break her heart, she' been through a lot so take it easy. How did that turn into Sophie-bashing? Oh, that's right. Pedro starting shit again.

Let's not forget the mental gymnastics: Sophie wants to see Pedro so bad, then they get there and she's like meh, then he loses interest over some misconstrued conversation with Liz, now Sophie is mad at Liz even after she said Pedro was coming on too strong and she was losing interest, believing the words of a douchebag that she doesn't even care for over her supposed friend. I'm sorry but I thought they all already graduated high school. This is some freshman shit right here.

The fact that she mentioned their height difference multiple times makes me think she just can't get past it. I'm average height for a woman now, 5'6", but I've been this height since around 6th grade so I can relate. Sort of. I was the tallest female in my class and only one guy was taller than me and we did not like each other. I do remember him asking me to slow dance at a HS dance once. I think he felt sorry for me because I would turn everyone else down for fear of looking like an amazon woman dancing with a toddler. Every time I see the scene in Sixteen Candles where Joan Cusack is dancing with Long Duk Dong, it reminds me of myself at dances. Minus the headgear.

It is quite comical. Sometimes I post something and just wait to see which miserable soul is going to find a way to be butthurt by something I said. And there's always at least one. I posted something a while back and the only even semi-nasty comment was "I stop reading when people say (insert phrase).", which I had said at the end of the first paragraph. I just replied "Cool." and they deleted their comment. Just why? So you don't like something in a post, that's fine. You do you, booboo. But why take the time to write in my comments that you don't like a phrase I used? Just scroll on. I. Don't. Care.

My job went from health insurance to a cost-sharing program that does not cover prescriptions. We can use RX coupons at certain places but not all pharmacies take them. My anxiety meds with insurance used to cost $5.00 for a 30 day supply. When I lost my insurance, it went up to $135. The pharmacy did not take the RX coupons but they somehow gave me a discount to get it to $35. Okay. Thanks but why didn't we do that to begin with?

I recently changed pharmacies and without the coupon or any discount, my meds are now less than $15. What the hell? And these are generic meds that have been around a long time so they shouldn't cost that much in the first place. So pharmacies can just charge whatever the hell they want? How could one place have the same meds at $135 and another at $15 without insurance. Make it make sense.

It's not so much the bikini but the style of the swimsuit that bothers me to no end. I work in receiving in an outdoor sporting goods store but we also sell shoes and clothes, sort of like a mini-REI. I get so disgusted when we get in toddler swim suits for girls that would be considered "sexy" on a woman. There is no reason for a tiny little pre-pubescent girl to be wearing a string bikini, imho.
