gently caress the furry puns, this woman is awful

Fleta Mcgurn posted:

I need that shirt.


Here's my least favorite thing ever. I would rather watch ten zit-popping videos than listen to this waddling, talking embodiment of First World Problems. You've probably seen it before, but I was trying to describe the extent of my impotent rage in another thread and this was the best descriptor I could think of in my DayQuil-addled state:

Woman has huge meltdown over Bath and Body Works Candles and one unfortunate store employee who seemingly did nothing wrong.

I have questions.

Does B&BW even get daily shipments? Most places get 'em weekly or twice a week, I just find out when the next one is.
Also, the manager explained her mistake (and I bet she explained it more thoroughly but this lady had already given into sweet sweet self-righteous anger), she mistook the smaller candles for larger ones. On paper. She didn't see the candles until they came to the store. How hard is that to figure out?

It also sounds like she should have asked about exchanging her PEACH BELLINIS for the smaller candles. I mean, that's what I would do if I loved the scent that friggin' much. This isn't a question.

This isn't a question either. She isn't owed anything. Sometimes people make mistakes, or no one makes a mistake, and it causes an inconvenience. Even a fairly large one, for day to day life, like driving an extra 15 minutes :rolleyes: I run into this kind of thinking all the time, selling stuff online & through apps. If I hosed up, I'm much more willing to work with the person, because I feel bad about loving up. If I didn't make any error, I'm sorry you don't fit into the shorts with the clearly marked tags that have "Runs small, measurements on request" in the listing, but that's not my fault. Even then, if someone is polite and willing to cover return costs, I'll work with them.

But I'm a one-woman show with ratings to worry about, not corporate. If you gently caress up as an employee and all you can do is apologize (I'm pretty sure Jen didn't have the authority to give her free anything, or she would have, if only to shut her up), that's all you can do!

Also if this is the worst thing to happen to this woman lately, I am jealous as hell of her life. Even though she lives in rural Wisconsin.

Over 20 thousand subscribers and almost 1.7 million views on that one video :psyduck:

I think most of the views and probably a significant chunk of the subs are horror-views and people subscribing for more horror. That or the woman does giveaways that require subscribing, which is not a sound strategy.

Gross Dude posted:

I can't tell if this is real or like a satire? She has a lot of videos about boycotting different stores, but if it's satire, it's not very good. Why does this video have a million views? I feel like I'm missing something.

Because there are more people outraged at the existence of SJW's than there are actual SJW's

A former friend of mine broke up with his fiancée for a whole lot of reasons. They were both not great people but whatever.

He sends her a 15 page letter over text talking about how he deserves so much better than her.

Her response: "K"

He flips his poo poo and sends her another letter, again via text, that was 27 pages long. Again going on about how he was only with her to make her feel better or some dumb nonsense.

He showed me the whole ordeal, assuming I would side with him. I read the entire thing and when I looked up to see his :smug: :smug: :smug: face, I knew I couldn't be associated with him.

He did the same to me when I suggested it was a bad idea to marry a a poly girl when you know you're a serial monogamist.
I got around 12 pages and then he challenged me to a public game of chess.

I kinda wish we were still friends because he's easily the most insane person I've met.

"This game of chess will decide whether I marry poly-Anna, so choose your moves carefully. There are people watching."

Also there is no way that his former fiancee didn't reply with "k" knowing the insane rage writing spree it would send him on.

I can understand spewing out a few angry texts, but writing a 15 page essay, and then copy/pasting it seems like a lot of work, and if it were me, my anger would have run out half way through writing it and so sending it would seem like a waste of time.

Is he the kind of person that takes any and all opportunity to prove how "educated" he is? Also takes any slight, no matter how slight, as a personal attack on how smart and awesome he is? And will never admit he is wrong, even over teh slightest thing forcing tiny arguments to last hours?

Yes to everything. A thousand times for the last part. He loves to tell people how he "studied psychology for six years" when he means, "took six years to get his Associates". He will knowingly not correct someone when they say he had a Master's.

Ask/tell me about legal cannibalism

Our class final was a group presentation where 1 essay each that we had written into a makeshift magazine related to an overall topic per group. One of the groups was doing sex ad relationships. The first essay had some good points about bdsm and abuse, because it was about 50 shades, but then she said that adult babies are cool and good. The 3rd essay for that group was by a 50 something skinny man with a stick up his rear end talking about "actually, polyamory is" while getting louder and angrier at sporadic points. When he finished he had a smug grin for some reason but idk why.

Honestly it's just getting annoying when people keep conflating their fetishes with their sexuality.

And it also goes into a much longer rant (that I won't expound upon) about people who identify as a single thing. "I am a Gamer." "I am an ABDL." "I am a Furry." Like get more than one hobby for fucks sake.
