The first rule of Pie Club is you do not talk about Pie Club. The second rule of Pie Club is we tend to be good on fruit, so maybe consider bringing a nice coconut cream or Pecan next time.

IT IS NOT 4CHAN. This is a false flag by /whichever agency/, probably NSA or something.

Glad to see that in trying to stiff you on the tip she accidentally gave you extra, that's some good karma payback.

I was working as a cocktail waitress at a place that also served dinner, and I had a table of about a dozen people one night who were going to dine and then stay for the show. At the beginning of dinner the woman who appeared to be the coordinator waved at me and said they'd be paying with a company credit card, and…

i'm against helicopter parenting, but willfully neglecting an infant or toddler or specifically putting them in a dangerous situation? that makes me want parenting basic safety classes to be mandatory.

i met people who were all kinds of unprepared for life. just a "how did you make it to adulthood?" sorts of people.

I weep for the bitchy-ass future.

WHAT

These stories confuse me because don't you have your license in your wallet? And don't you carry your wallet everywhere? Wouldn't she need her wallet for this conference thing? Do they keep their license on a nightstand and make a decision about whether to bring it every time they leave the house?

EXCUSE ME, I AM WEARING DIOR.

I'm with you, although I thought your response was overly harsh since it was a pretty innocuous comment. But yeah, the whole "I'm a white woman, and I deal with sexism too, but it must be harder for WoC and it sucks for you" commentary on every single article about WoC gets tiresome. Obviously I don't have a problem…

All the stars. And she was just talking about internalizing this kind of dismissiveness in her recent Essence interview.

"Ms. Rhimes chose a performer who is older, darker-skinned and less classically beautiful than Ms. Washington, or for that matter Halle Berry."

She did. Never mind that the majority of supporting characters are related to Abbie in some way and not Ichabod. Never mind the fact that the show clearly starts from Abbie's point of view. Never mind that she's the more capable of the two characters (considering he's out of his time and often out of his depth). She's…

Thanks for breaking this down since I was kind of too angry about it to think this critically. I think she also called Nicole Beharie, who is the lead on Sleepy Hollow, a sidekick. Seriously, fuck that noise.

That's what I came here to say. My mom was a terrible mother who wanted four children; my dad wanted no children. For the majority of my life, he treated me the same way he treated house cats: taking care of my basic need and occassionally clucking and saying "isn't she adorable?" when I did something cute. I was not…

That right there is my biggest beef. Thank you for expressing it better than I could.

I understand why people would feel like they couldn't talk about this. If we're being honest about feelings here, I honestly felt no sympathy for the women above. To be honest, I saved all my sympathy for their children.
