Ew, gross why would he date his sister? Don't you know that knowing someone for a few years and going to school with them makes you literal siblings?

TL;DR: Ex slept with my BF and I got immediate satisfaction/revenge on them - glorious revenge.

This TLDR doesn't seem to even be for the story that is told above. So the poster is a bisexual man surprised that his partner likes a woman (a woman who is the poster's ex-girlfriend) or its a girl posting about her boyfriend banging her former lesbian lover? Of course, none of that info is important enough to keep in the main story because none of it happened, I guess.

E: Just now saw that they start by saying they are a woman, but the point still stands that the sexuality of all parties seems nebulous even to the person telling the story.

Suffering A Bipolar Vortex
Liquor Store | Toronto, ON, Canada | Bizarre, Canada, Wild & Unruly

(I am from California but at visiting some family in Toronto. It’s late December and extremely cold. I’m at a liquor store with my cousin when the customer behind me notices my California ID.)

Customer: “You’re a long way from home! What brings you out here?”

Me: “I’m visiting some family.”

Customer: “What do you think about the weather?”

Me: “It’s actually quite refreshing. It’s nice having a change of scenery but I don’t think I could do this all the time.”

Customer: *huffy* “Well, it’s not like this all the time! It’s only cold for about five months! How dare you assume that, you ignorant American!”

Me: “No, no, no. Of course I know it’s not cold year round. I meant that I personally couldn’t deal with the winter months every year!”

Customer: “You lying b****! You’re just trying to cover your a**! You stupid Americans think we just live in igloos. I know your type!”

Me: “I promise you I don’t think that it’s this cold year round. I’ve come to visit many times in the summer.”

Customer: “Stupid American b****!”

(My cousin and I just walk away while she continues to hurl insults at me.)

My Unfair Lady

(I work in an adult-themed shop. A female customer has just walked up to make a purchase.)

Me: “Hello. How are you today?”

Customer: *grumbles*

Me: “Okay… Did you find everything?”

Customer: *grumbles*

(I take this as my hint to stop trying to be helpful and just get this over with as soon as possible.)

Me: “All right. Your total is [price].”

Customer: *handing me money* “You really should be ashamed of yourself, you know.”

Me: “I’m sorry?”

Customer: “You must not be a proper lady, working in a place like this. Shameful!”

Me: “You mean me working here, trying to make a living and keep my bills down, is shameful compared to you walking in my store to buy smut and hooker clothes, then acting very rude towards me?”

(The customer turns bright red, pays, and leaves.)

Whenever I read STDH I just always wonder how the gently caress these people supposedly remember such long conversations in such great detail. Do all these fuckers have photographic memory? I mean, I get there's some embellishment even in real stories but I can hardly recall the few sentences I had with the clerk at the gas station or what I had for breakfast. Is it because they were such ~dramatic~ occurrences that they're burned into the tellers mined supposedly?

I can believe it, because Nice Guy types are so oblivious to how creepy and unwanted their advances are that the only way to get rid of them is to shut them the gently caress down with extreme goddamn prejudice. If she had deleted her account, he would've tracked her down some other way and asked why he didn't see her on Facebook anymore.

I've known people on both sides of interactions like that, and I had some Nice Guy tendencies myself when I was a dumb 14-year-old, and it really is the only way to get them to go away. I grew up, but sadly, most never learn that the problem is with them and not the poor girl they creeped out, and just write her off as a bitch.

Every time I see one of those friendzone posts I am glad I grew up in an age before Reddit and had good friends to set me straight. What a fuckhead I might have been otherwise.

My first name is pretty unique, so I started going by my much more common middle name due solely to customers looking me up on Facebook. Something about women (and who knows, maybe men too) in customer service trips a weird trigger in some peoples' brains.

I can say at least I have had people pull the "you didn't block me or delete your account" type line on me online. I used to be the guild leader/raid leader of the most successful progression raiding guild on our WoW server and of course that dragged a bunch of undesirables to the door, because woman + gaming + authority = either deeply hated and intimidating or irresistable, or both.

Talking Total Bolado
Church | Van Nuys, CA, USA | Language & Words, Religion, Travel

(I am one of two female missionaries assigned to a Spanish-speaking parish in the San Fernando Valley. All of the parishioners are very supportive of the local missionaries, not to mention friendly. They’re sort of our family away from home at times. This also means that they tease us at times. My fellow missionary is a native of El Salvador, but later moved to Canada.)

Parishioner: “I don’t believe you’re from El Salvador!”

Missionary: “Of course I am! I have the accent! I make pupusas! I was born in San Salvador!”

Parishioner: “Yeah, well, anyone can say that. Sister [My Name] could probably say she’s from San Salvador!”

(I’m redheaded, freckled and have only recently started speaking Spanish fluently, in part because of my fellow missionary’s efforts.)

Missionary: “Someday, you will believe me that we’re from the same country. Just watch!”

Parishioner: “I don’t believe it.”

(Three weeks go by. One day, the missionary drops her favorite ring down the sink by accident. Since this parishioner is a plumber, she calls to ask for advice on how to get it out.)

Parishioner: “Where do you think it is?”

Missionary: “Well, I turned off the water immediately, so I think it’s still stuck in the—” *he tries to think of the word for the pipe or u-bend or the trap or whatever she means to say* “—in el bolado!”

Parishioner: “YOU ARE FROM EL SALVADOR! I’ll be right over to fix it.”

(As soon as the conversation is finished, I speak up.)

Me: “So, the word for the trap is bolado?”

Missionary: “I said the El Salvadorian word for ‘thingamajig.’ Guess it finally convinced him.”

It's Spanish, not loving "El Salvadorian". And I'm pretty sure that's not what bolado means.
