What always bugs me is the retail stories where the customer is allegedly yelling and swearing at the employee, and employee just sits back and take it. When I worked retail management, if anyone started shouting or using any profanity with my employees I'd immediately step in and tell them if they didn't stop they would have to leave. Call centers have these policies as well, so I just don't get the stories where the stdh story-teller claims "the customer called the employee a 'loving oval office dyke' and she responded 'I'm sorry about that, sir.' Then I stepped in and saved the day."

For real. It's like the logic is supposed to be that that's the only store it could POSSIBLY be, and that OBVIOUSLY the two darker-skinned people must be married because interracial relationships are just for out-of-wedlock jollies?

I thought it was gonna turn out it was Dave's sister or something, you know? Like he sees a picture somewhere in the apartment of the guy. At least then the rest of it would make sense.


Sex that didn't happen

I've been working retail for four years () and this poo poo rarely happens. 90% of the time if you give them the answer they don't want to hear they ask for a manager or supervisor.

I love that the guy is "black or Afro-American or whatever ridiculous political buzzword they're using these days" but he himself is "caucasian (Norse German Irish)"

This article has popped up on my facebook page, about a professor at Oxford University giving an atheist lecture and a hundred students walking out. Maybe it did happen, but something definitely rings false about it.

Also her writing style really irritates me, I can't put my finger on why it but it sounds like a teenager.

There isn't a Joe Disney. The younger Roy Disney's sons are Roy and Tim; Walt only had daughters. Can't people loving Google for a second before making up stdh/masquerading as grandchildren of actual creative people?

It says Disneyland (well, it says "Disney land") but that doesn't matter because "Joe Disney" is hilarious.

I like that idiot writing the Disney STDH (or misunderstood advances from a pedo) finds it plausible that Disney would want to record a random kid to re-record their songs to play in the parks. Because I guess they can't use the world-recognized originals?

Sounds like something a company could do for a Make A Wish kid dying of cancer, but, y'know, it didn't happen. I asked Joe Disney and he didn't remember it.

Last time I was at Disney World as me and my parents were looking at our map trying to find the Tiki Room Peter Pan ran up to us and pointed out some Peter Pan-themed ride on said map and my whole family was very uncomfortable at how unnaturally chipper he was.


Oh, and, then, uh, he told me to stop cutting myself or something.

If she's Irish this may be true. That stereotype that all Irish people know each other is very obnoxious but irritatingly kind of accurate. In terms of size and population we're tiny, we'd be in the top ten smallest american states in size and population.

Ah well it does make more sense then, sounds like poo poo that did happen.

Adult sneaking in to perv on students, brought his pi full of erotic hentai games to play hoping one would ask him about it or something ("why, do you like what you see?" ), got caught, police involved, banned from school property. Open and shut case boys.

You can make some pretty killer mac and cheese with the cheese ends from delis. I worked at a deli for a couple months and we would never even tell customers cheese ends were for sale so we could buy them ourselves.

I want to try this next time I go to the store, but given that the last time I asked the butcher for a pound of ground lamb and he disappeared in the back for a couple of minutes, then proudly handed me a package I didn't notice until checkout was ground beef, I'm not so confident I'll get the same savory smoked bagel add-on you did.

Not sure this is the right place, but a friend recommended me the book Ready Player One. Hoooo boy. It could probably better be called "Tales of a Reddit Manchild: The Book."

It has it all, our savvy hero tearing apart not one, but two high school bullies with verbal takedowns (and everyone cheers afterwards), militant atheism, self-diagnosed Asbergers, friendzones, super hacker skills, magical virtual currency, weird obsession with 80s nerd culture, all wrapped in a "video games are the only thing that understands me" narrative.

Can't say I'd recommend it, but it feels like the id of this entire thread. It's a decent hate-read.

Possible stupid question here, but is it at all normal for an attic to be directly next to a bathroom as opposed to above it? I've never lived anywhere that has an attic anywhere but above the accessible rooms in the house.

Also, no way a 6-year old could fit in that tiny pipe access, let alone get through the pipes.
