Enough arguing about the kangaroo meat in a bloomin' onion you get at outback, it's time for an awful coworker story.

My (24f) co-worker (50f) blamed me for my miscarriage but is now frustrated I won't talk to her

quote:

Exactly what the title says. My coworker/'friend' has been in a sour mood because I was given 'lenient' clock in clock out times the week of my miscarriage ( I took no days off, and only came in and left early the first two days as the cramps were horrible) finally, after she was being talked to about coming in late she came after me, yelling at me asking me why I'm not in trouble as well and how it is not fair she is getting yelled at but I'm coming and going 'as I please'.

Me, thinking we were friends, confided to her that I had a miscarriage. Her response? 'I told you you were pregnant! Why the hell are you here? You need to be home! This is why you had the miscarriage! You don't care about yourself, you're being selfish working when you should be letting your body recover. What is wrong with you? You are being so stupid! You don't take care of yourself and then you wonder why you had a miscarriage. Come on, really. Who do you think you're telling this to? I'm a woman! I have gone through things like this! Don't look surprised if you find you can't get pregnant after this. Honestly, take care of yourself. '

And then with that she announced she was going on break and I sobbed in the bathroom. I pulled myself together and didn't speak to her the rest of the day. Then it was the weekend then she was sick and was gone and then she had a family emergency and has been back but I've moved desks. I'm hurt and angry and honestly, am not her friend. Today she tried to send me a birthday gift and I refused. She is pissed and doesn't understand my change in attitude. She also tried to coordinate breaks with me. I, of course, insisted that I break at a different time.

This is making her frustrated and I am honestly at a loss for words on how to explain to her why I no longer want to engage socially with her. I am completely amicable to her professionally otherwise. How do I explain to her I don't want to be friends with her anymore? Is there a way I can do it without causing her to 'explode'?

Show her you mean business

Applebee's - a restaurant review
u/frowney_turkey838

quote:

I had a date yesterday, and I tried a new restaurant: Applebe’s on Chestnut Street. This is my first time at this particular Applebee’s and I wanted to give a brief review.

The first place they went wrong was the tablets that you are supposed to be able to order from at the table. Ours was broken. Maybe the battery was just dead. Regardless of the cause, it was very disappointing, and I had to place my order through an incompetent waiter. He was a little bit awkward to be honest. Fortunately he did not try to make small talk, but all of our interactions with him were a little uncomfortable. But once our drinks came everything got better. I had the raspberry lemonade and it was TO DIE FOR. My date had a coca-cola and she did not remark on its quality.

Then things went downhill again. I overheard our waiter say that he didn’t care about our table because he had another table of 7 people. There was a 10 minute gap between finishing my second lemonade and receiving a third (would have been nice if the tablet was working).

The food was exceptional. I had the chicken tenders with ranch dressing. The chicken was perfectly crispy and had a great flavor profile that was complemented by the creamy, tangy ranch dressing. My date had chicken parmesan and again did not remark on its quality.

As we finished our meal and prepared to leave, the waiter asked us if anything was wrong and my date spoke up and said she was not happy with the service. He gave a half-hearted apology and said he would try to do better next time. Unfortunately it is unlikely that there will be a next time. He then tried to make small talk (which he had done a good job of avoiding earlier) and delayed our departure. Although the food was high quality, the dining experience was tainted by the malfunctioning tablet and poor waiting service. I paid for both of my meals and did not leave a tip.

Boyfriend (21M) sent me porn to learn how to be better at sex...

quote:

So today we were going to have sex and I got on top of him and he told me he'd go on top. I was confused and asked him why, since that was his favorite. So he just randomly says that honestly I'm not good at it. Yeah... at that point, I was not into it anymore and just wanted him to explain what he meant.

He said I'm too slow and I should go really fast and I should also put on a show for him because it's more fun that way.

I just told him I didn't wanna do anything anymore. I'll be honest, I cried in the bathroom for an hour. It was actually so embarrassing being told that...

Then, he sent me some videos saying "this is what I meant. see how they're flipping their hair and look good."

He's such an rear end and he thinks he's being nice by educating me on what he likes so I can be better next time. And those videos involved some serious core strength that I don't have

TL;DR boyfriend basically told me my username

Edit: drat this really blew up, didn’t expect that. I was just looking for a bit of a comforting virtual hug. Thank you to all the comments, everyone is so overwhelmingly nice

Obviously you gotta send him porn so that he can improve too. Tell him he needs to both extend his penis to 10 inches and be able to bottom like a champ.

Picture some oaf gushing over the "exceptional flavor profile" of frozen chicken fingers drowned in ranch dressing, wondering if his date's Coca-cola is similarly exceptional or if it tastes the same as every other Coca-cola ever served.

I've been tryin' to speak with you for a long time
Have none of you wver lived in a market where there just aren't a ton of great restaurants close by and sometimes you have to accept "adequate and consistent" from a chain rather than "canned vegetables and gelatinous boxed starches?" Roseburg, Oregon of 15 years ago, I'm looking at you!

Also, there are worse things in the world than liking things that other people like. I'm not saying it's great food, but liking chain restaurants isn't a huge indictment of someone's character. Millions of people apparently like these restaurants because they continue to eat at them. Not everyone lives somewhere that they have ready access to great, fresh food. The girl in the story asked dude to drive an hour to get to a nice restaurant.

Wow, I was 20 once, and I have only very vague recollection of what happened in '99. I guess we went to the park and for a walk (actually enjoyable in old european cities) and to the movies. Sometimes bars, but yea, strolling home and talking was the best thing.

What the.....

My BWW experience (date #2)

quote:

Going to keep this one brief because I am still on cloud 9 after the date.

Went to BWW tonight. It was a pretty good experience overall. The music was too loud, making it hard to converse, but I prefer it that way sometimes. Less pressure to keep the conversation going.

I got the naked chicken tenders. I didn't think they would be completely naked but they were. They were not very good. Charred taste on the outside that even the tangy ranch could not cover up. And there was some fat in the middle.

The girl got the cheese curd bacon burger. Not very ladylike but whatever. She never comments on her food so I can't tell you how it was.

I'm so confused......oh...

You ever let the weather get between you and your dope?

OHHHHH....

Where can I get insulin without a prescription?

quote:

Or how can I get a doctor to prescribe it to me? I have a very good reason for needing it.

quote:

A doctor will prescribe it to you if you're a diabetic... which they will test for.

I'm assuming your "very good reason" doesn't have anything to do with diabetes. Most likely looking for the anabolic benefits or trying to sell it to people looking for anabolic benefits. Don't be a loser

quote:

No I am not diabetic and I don't even want to use it.

I told a lady that my needles were for insulin and I don't have any insulin so I don't want to get caught in a lie.

That was quite a ride.

I've never had pho, even though it's readily available at many pho eateries nearby. I always wonder, when trying a new food, if it's really representative of that food. How would I know if it's good pho or authentic pho? Do I not like pho, or do I dislike this pho?

I feel like I need someone with prior experience to introduce me to what they think is a good pho.

I've taken a swing at Malaysian food a couple times now and keep bouncing off. Do I not like it, or do I just not know what to order?

I absolutely agree.

Also Pho is amazing but I can see how people get turned off to it. If you try it for the first time and aren’t with someone who knows what’s up it can kinda be not the greatest. If you go with a pho expert who can teach you the ropes it’s the food of the gods.

Yeah this post right here is what I mean.

Pho is pho like 90% of places it’s gonna be the same but it’s all about how you make it your own by adding sauces / spices / whatever. If someone has never had it before they will look at all this poo poo and be like wtf am I supposed to do here??

Girl (20F) I've been dating got a "butt massage" from her yoga teacher, says it's normal
I'm 23M. I've only been seeing this girl for like a month now. Last night she came over and started talking about her yoga class and how she got a "butt massage." For a second I thought she was joking so I just replied with something like "did it have a happy ending?" And we just laughed it off.

Then she went into a little more detail and how good it felt and I stopped taking it as humor. I brushed it off then as paranoia, but later that night she mentioned yoga again and I joked about it being any man's dream job to massage 20-year-old student butts all day. She has absolutely no problem with it. She even called it "hands-on-assist."

My question is... is this normal? Am I crazy for thinking this is kind of weird and borderline sexual harassment?

This just came off as a red flag to me and got me wondering if this is the kind of relationship I wanna get myself into, but I could really use some advice before I make any harsh decisions.

These new stories for brazzers are looking good.

Also I’ve done a lot of yoga and never heard of this. I guess I gotta say kudos to the teacher that manages to convince these people this is how it’s done.

Like the teacher at the end of class would come around and press on your shoulders or whatever but ain’t no one getting an rear end massage lol.

Is he like, completely unaware that porn loving isn't "fun" for any of the actors involved?

Photux posted:

The Outback Steakhouse post reminded me of this old one, from the woman's side.

A really nice, cute, fun, smart guy (mid 20sM) asked me (20f) out after knowing him for 2 months in class. The date was to Outback and I said no because I have an aversion to chain restaurants. Am I just being a snob? I felt ok about it at first but now I don't.

The problem is only 10% that he suggested Outback for a first date - the other 90% is that it's his favorite restaurant so if things go super well you're looking at a regular Outback night and not just an occasional, "haha we went to a lovely chain for a date that one time, remember? Let's do that again and get blitzshit on $1 margs."

But yeah she was kind of a bitch about it, she could have just said, "I don't really like Outback, let's go somewhere else."

Do you people know that:
1. Your butt is made of muscles. These muscles actually do a lot of work for you walking around, lifting, and moving anything in general and
2: You can talk to massage therapist, just like any other service provider or human being, and tell them what you do and do not want done to you? Take a lesson from this thread- refusing to communicate does not lead to good things
