Puppies  Good news: my parents sent me a sizable amazon gift card for chanukah, probably gonna buy some gifts for other people with it Bad news: I won't be spending Thanksgiving with my boyfriend because his dad is super religious and won't like us sleeping in the same room, but his whole family's gonna be over and they have a small house so there won't even be room for me anywhere. Also I think he dislikes me because I'm secular, and he literally thinks I'm trying to convert his son by dating him  I don't really care about Thanksgiving as a holiday but man I haven't had a home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner in years

Mine wouldn't even talk to my ex whenever she was around and complained that she was getting in the way of our time together. It made life really awkward.

Crow Jane posted:I was once walking down the street and it was raining a little. A neckbeard was walking by me, and said "Would you like some of my umbrella, m'lady?". I declined and got rained on instead. I used to bring dude friends with me to comic book stores to act as a buffer. I'm there to buy comics, not to get hit on by some needle-dick twit half my age...or twice my age. I have since stopped doing this because blue hair has a magical side effect of intimidating men so much that they don't even make eye contact. Or maybe they've realized I can set them on fire with my brain. One of said dude friends has started bringing me along for shoe and bag shopping. He likes pretty things and is afraid the sales ladies will judge him. (They are never ever fooled.)

Honestly, I'm friendly to everyone, even neckbeard clerks at comic book shops. I just never talk to them long enough for it to get weird.

I don't know what it is then that I'd get a lot of inappropriate touching or "what's your bra size?" or "are you legal?" or "you should read this manga :holds out hardcore tentacle porn:." Like, as greetings. Chiba City Blues posted:Puppies A lot of my friends don't talk to their families or don't have them around anymore so I just started doing an orphan's Thanksgiving where we all show up, cook fancy food, and just hang out. gently caress holiday stress.

I know at least one person will be in town after thanksgiving this weekend so I can have a late thanksgiving thing with him maybe  Another friend might drop by this weekend as well- shes working thanksgiving but has the weekend off too. A plus side is that I'm watching my boyfriends house while he+his roommates are gone, and they came to the agreement that I can help myself to their booze.

Like, as greetings. Seriously what's your bra size? No, like what the gently caress someone really said that to you public? That shits unacceptable and couple with touching is just unreal. We need a galloping white knight smilie. The product suggestion I can understand at least ( idiots).

LingcodKilla posted:Seriously what's your bra size? I'm short and I look young. I also got my head patted a lot or people picking me up until I started yelling about how inappropriate that poo poo was. Add in curly hair and total loving strangers would come up to me and start touching my head. People do not give a gently caress about personal space when they see you as a goddamn portable doll or some other horseshit and usually don't believe me until they see it happen. I was interviewing a few months back for a UX lead position at a company big enough to know better and the digital director kept joking about how I look 15. I didn't take that job.

I can identify with the curly hair thing- I have naturally curly hair that I keep around jaw-length so it's pretty sproingy but people see my neat hair as an invitation to loving touch it and "boing" it ugh It's cool when people compliment it, I get a lot of compliments and comments on campus, but don't you dare just come up to me and touch it like I've known you for years

I'm just too tall and mean-lookin' for people I don't know to try to touch it, which is a-ok by me.

Embarrassingly, I get somewhat touchy when I'm really drunk. As in, I love giving people bear hugs. Thankfully I don't do it to total strangers but eh

I have a friend with a loving sweet afro, and drunk white people in bars love to come up to her and ask if they can touch it. Luckily for her, she also has the ability to shoot daggers from her eyes when they ask.

If you don't ask first you'll still get the dirty look, but only after you've gotten to touch the hair.

I work retail and a couple months ago a guy in my store came up and said "You're allowed to work here?" Part of my brain thought it must be someone that i know making a silly joke, but I'd never seen the dude before and he looked really confused. "Yeeaaah." "How old are you?" "25" "Oh! Well, you look really young!"

It's actually pretty amazing to watch, I've seen people physically shrink when she's called them out.

customers asking my age happened all the time, i'm 23 but apparently i look 16 they also asked my ethnicity, like straight up just walk up to my counter and say "hey what country are you from" or sometimes they tried to guess it which was pretty funny. lots of disappointed old greek ladies retail is an interesting environment, luckily i got in a screaming match with a deranged american air hostess who was throwing olives at me and no longer have to worry about working retail (now i have to worry very much about eating and paying my rent instead but it's ok)
