I could see that. Wesley from the later seasons of Angel (minus when he turns into an ass and borderline Nice Guy briefly) is really different from when he was on Buffy, and is much more stable than Spike and Angel ever were. He also wouldn't hold her back by being human like Riley did — guy's got the smarts and the…

I'd say part of it is because you have no control over someone filming you — you may not even know who they are — and you have no control what they do with the video or who will see it. The person could post it online and make up some story about how awful you are, and if it goes viral your world will be turned upside…

I don't think I'll ever forget it for as long as I live. That and the obviously fake smile paired with a barely concealed glare of annoyance, which so many customers are oblivious to.

Equanimity covered it really well: this woman has no idea if this guy is really creepy and invasive but otherwise harmless or if he's a guy who will put her safety in jeopardy. There is no way for her to learn which type of guy he is, either, without putting herself at risk. There is no reason for her to give the guy…

Ah yes, that laugh. Has there ever been a woman in a retail or service job that hasn't had to use it? I think I use it at least once a shift because god forbid an employee be able to walk away from a customer that's making them uncomfortable.

I'm not surprised she did. When you're raised to always be nice and to not say no to someone, it's really easy to ignore the feeling of doubt since the fear of turning someone down is even worse. Sometimes you even start talking yourself into it by telling yourself he seems cute and nice, and he's clearly not one of…

Yup. Even if the guy is socially awkward, he knows he's probably being inappropriate when he thinks a reasonable response is for her to delete her account (and lose all her photos and contacts) over his actions. He's even aware enough that maybe asking a mutual acquaintance for a stranger's last name might not be…

He definitely needed a lesson, and she didn't bother sugar coating anything.

If you're a regular (as in you go in regardless of her and don't intentionally go in only when she's working) you could start striking up some small talk about something new that just came out or what you're buying.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Really? You see no problem with the Big Three's oligopoly? Even the smaller providers are mostly forced to use the Three's infrastructure. I guess that may be because you actually have a decent plan available to you. I live in a central hub in BC and have two options for internet, the cheapest plan being $55 for a…

I just want to pick him up and give him ALL the snuggles!

You're welcome!

A woman being called "a flirt" to justify rape is the same line of reasoning as "her skirt was too short" or "she had a couple beers". What it means when people say that is that the woman consented to sex via signals (or to others, punishment for not being demure and feminine and proper), so it doesn't matter what she…

Good on him for coming forward, though I don't envy his position in the public sphere that this will bring. Too many people will still blame him for it ("because what man doesn't want sex"/ "he's a man and so he couldn't be forced to do anything by a woman"). I hope he has a good group of friends and family that won't…

That sounds like an oversight or loophole, for sure.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm going to bother with the comments at all once the new Kinja is forced on everyone (and assuming no one makes a plugin for Firefox to convert it to a readable format). Sadly, that means SNS will not be something I'll be able to read or participate in anymore.

Does Austin or Texas require everyone to carry ID on them at all times or something? Because arresting someone for not having ID when ID isn't required to be on you 24/7 is asinine and I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually illegal.

Dobbies with their natural ears and tail are also really cute! Really, the only reason it became standard to crop ears and dock tails for certain breeds was either due to their work or them being fighting dogs. In which case it was actually more humane to essentially cut both off since otherwise they'd get bitten or…

Speak for yourself. I like random stories like this to break up the monotony that would be the same type of story every day on a website. Plus it's not like anyone is forced to click on an article they have no interest in, and stories like this are far more interesting to me than Titanfall Story of the Day #5.
