The very first thing I learned in French class was to salute the teacher and my classmates. razorrozar posted:Why is there so much poo poo on NAR that boils down to " white people get discriminated against too "? That is a really dumb trend. I wonder what the raw submission of that looked like. Really all of the bigotry tagged NAR entries are golden STDH. Swedish hotels have surprisingly generous but capricious double booking policies posted:(I work in the front desk at a hotel. I have a small handicap which makes my back look a little wavy, but it’s no obstacle in normal life. We have more reservations than we have rooms. There are several concerts in the city, and all hotels located within 10 miles from the city are fully booked. When this happens, the hotel is responsible to find rooms in the same or better category on other hotels. I have managed to book the last available room at our neighbor hotel. It’s starting to get very late, and I have only one check-in left, a couple from Italy. At 10:30 pm they arrive.)

It may be true that the customer is always right, but when you call someone a crooked dwarf, just because they look different, you don’t deserve any kind of good treatment. Earlier my colleague tried to tell you that we had managed to book the biggest suite at the neighbor hotel for a total cost of $5000, and you would have gotten it for free. At our hotel you have booked a standard room for $100. So, I’m very happy to say that you are going to sleep in the streets tonight. I just called the other hotel and cancelled the room. You have two minutes to get out of here before I call the police. You won’t be able to find room anywhere tonight. All the hotels are fully booked. Have a nice life!” Wait, if you only speak Swedish and English, then how did you interpret this ridiculous diatribe spoken in ~~fluent Italian~~?

The White Dragon posted:I figure this particular case is that he's been keeping a "this is why I'm not having sex" diary, most people can't actually remember things that precisely. The only thing this guy did remotely wrong was shipping her the spreadsheet with a whiny email instead of sitting down to talk to her about it. That was kind of a dick move, but I can think of reasons for doing it that way. For instance, if she refuses to talk about the issue, he may not know how else to get her to acknowledge the problem. For some reason, stupid replies like the one you quoted are entirely acceptable, as long as we're making GBS threads on a guy. "Oh, he gathered empirical data to support his assertion that there is a problem in their marriage? Obviously he is a bullying, abusive rear end in a top hat. What kind of sick gently caress remembers things?" Lack of sex in a marriage can obviously be a serious problem. It's also a sensitive issue. There's an excellent chance that if you just say, "We never have sex," you're going to get a bunch of, "That's not true/it's all in your head/you're exaggerating." I'd venture there's a pretty good chance this guy didn't start writing this poo poo down the first time his wife told him no. The woman who claims her husband sent the spreadsheet even says it's unlike him. Well, then maybe there really is a problem. nucleicmaxid posted:No. But using it to slam your partner or try to shame her into sex is pretty much the height of creepiness. Where do you get this poo poo? Do you know something about the text of the email that the rest of us don't? How is saying, "You are refusing sex nine times out of every ten I ask. Here is proof that this is not my imagination," some sort of shaming tactic? What's your non-creepy solution? Just start loving women on the side? Suck it up and have sex every few months? Serious question: are you married? If there's a problem in your marriage, do you just ignore it and hope it fixes itself? Have you really never experienced a relationship problem that became so frustrating that you handled it in a less-than-optimal manner? I refer you once again to the fact that the wife admits her husband has never done anything like this, before. Do you believe he was suddenly overtaken by shithead demons, or do you think it's more likely that he has tried to address this problem in other ways and has not gotten anywhere? Edit: vv Bullshit. That is not a solution. Also, it is not coercion to say, "I am not satisfied with this part of our relationship, and I would like it to change." It's laughable to pretend that "don't gently caress" is even a remotely reasonable way to address this problem. You really think that when one partner has 10x the sex drive of the other, he or she can just tone it down by 90% for the rest of his or her life? She doesn't have to screw the guy if she doesn't want to, but don't expect him to play along for the rest of his life, that's asinine.

I'm married, And while I'm not going to go talking about personal details on an internet forum, when my wife and I have had issues between us, we sit down and talk about them like adults. In what possible world is it not creepy to list out every little detail of your sex life then email it to your partner? If it's so bad that she won't talk about it, bring that up. If she still refuses to discuss it, reevaluate your marriage. Don't be the creepy weirdo who is listing every 'infraction' in an email, talk to your partner like an adult human being. This is not really a complex or difficult thing to grasp. If you can't be an adult about it, you probably weren't ready to get married so it may not actually end up being a healthy marriage.

If my husband did that to me, he'd be free to go find poon somewhere else, because he's be instantaneously single. Then again, my husband would never do that, because he's not a sociopath and we don't live in Tumblr or wherever this ridiculous garbage came from.

I'd just like to point out that the last part of her post on Reddit currently reads "Now he has cut contact". Not "now we're talking about it". If her story is true, then he sent her this spreadsheet and won't respond to her at all. I'd also like to add that you sound just as hosed up as the people telling her to immediately cancel her work trip to go home and resolve the issue, or to prove she's not having an affair by immediately giving in to his next advance. You know, all the people who have led to her deleting literally every single comment on her thread because she's being told that this is all her fault. And as someone whose previous marriage did break down over a sudden lack of physical intimacy, holy poo poo gently caress you.

(I am at a parent teacher conference. I am nine. Both my parents and I are Caucasian in appearance.) Teacher: ”So, [My Name] has been a good student except for this project, the family history one. In it she claims to be aboriginal. [My Name], this is very disrespectful to aboriginals and their culture. This is meant to be about your family history not a story.” Mum: ”But [Teacher], [My Name] is aboriginal. She gets it from her father’s side. She’s sixth generation Tasmanian Aboriginal.” Teacher: ”Don’t be silly. Look at her! She’s white with blonde hair!”

If her story is true, then he sent her this spreadsheet and won't respond to her at all. Yeah, I sound exactly like the people telling her to drop everything and gently caress her husband, and accusing her of having an affair, except for the part where I did nothing even remotely like either of those things. I also did not say this was all her fault. There may not be any "fault" here, it may just be a matter of incompatible sex drives. If she doesn't want to have sex with the man, she doesn't have to, but playing make-believe like only an irredeemably horrible human being wouldn't handle this situation with perfect etiquette is just dumb. Sex is not a minor issue in most marriages, and it probably has the highest potential to cause emotional harm and distress, and make people act unreasonably. The number of grown men and women in this thread who have done something horribly embarrassing in a relationship, something that would make them look like a total piece of poo poo if it came to light, is probably pretty close to 100%. Sorry you had a relationship break down over sex. Maybe you should have made a spreadsheet.

Afraid of Audio posted:i mean wow look at this poo poo If there might be a legitimate problem in a relationship, what's wrong with trying to document it? The husband in this case is still a creepy rear end in a top hat for emailing it to her and then cutting contact, and the way he documented it rubs me the wrong way ("claimed to need a shower, didn't take one"? the gently caress is that?) but proving the problem isn't all in your head is very helpful. Of course, it is only helpful if you use it in a mature and sensible way, which this guy certainly did not.

This thread needs more content.Yup, sounds like the standard surgeon pre-op discussion posted:I have to get surgery soon, so today I met with the surgeon for my pre-op assessment. I’m thin, and as soon as he walked into the room, he told me how happy he was that I’m “not a fatty”, and that it’s really not that much harder or dangerous to operate on fat people, he just hates them because his first love was a fat girl and she rejected him. I explained to him that this was not okay and directed him to this blog. Just goes to show how prevalent and dangerous thin privilege is! someone should tell the author that "and" is not a punctuation mark posted:I went to see hamlet and the guy playing hamlet was rather cute and had a lot of shirtless scenes going on and so I stared at him and tried to make eye contact until he caught my eye and I wiggled my eyebrow and he broke character and smiled and after that I would catch him glancing my way and after the play was over he came into the lobby and pulled me into his dressing room and that is how I lost my virginity to someone with his own Wikipedia page Hope Customer #2 is also a minor or else this STDH took a creepy turn posted:(I am a short, 100 pound fifteen-year-old girl, and a lot of people try to intimidate me.
