I thought I was going to get this resounding, “It’s your body!” and “what a nice guy (tm)“ consensus from the jezebel crowd, but I guess there are two sides to the story.

I feel like finding someone you really, really, really click with is just much rarer than people let on, especially when you are older and know more what you want/have less patience for things you don’t want. That’s what makes finding someone special!

I’m sorry to say this, but I don’t think he overreacted at all. You clearly weren’t intentionally leading him on or anything, but you must have confused the hell out of him. First you want to fuck him, then you don’t, then you really want to fuck him and ask him to go out to buy condoms, and then you tell him you…

Well, I think that it’s better to be picky than to settle for someone you only half like.

I didn’t expect him to be THRILLED but his reaction was way over the top, right?!

Isn’t another way to look at this like.... “Actually try being the person you think you are.” I get that it is way easier to take if you look at this like people are misunderstanding you, and you just need to be better at projecting things.

I feel like I'm falling into two camps here. Like, honestly the outrage over it feels kind of... Manufactured. It's like people heard it and were like "Oh, here's something we can be pissed off about." Like a dumb joke in an interview doesn't deserve nearly this much attention.

Kill: myself

I won’t disagree with most of your statements, but I take great offense to the jalapeño comment. Sitting in their own juice makes them far better, no question.

I didn’t take it that way. They need employees with these skills so they are providing training. Again, you may think these skills are worthless, but this is how these folks earn a living. Way to be condescending about it.

But don’t you get it? Poors are gross and their jobs are dumb.

So training for professionals is just training and development. Training for people in the service profession is just disgusting and tacky....because these jobs are menial and gross and funny? What am I missing.

I am an engineer. My employer pays for me to go to several training and continuing education classes a year so I can learn how to do my job better. How is this different, other than the fact that the employees in question are domestic workers?

Actually, you’re a jerk

I think this lady speaks for all of us.

Entirely my incompetence. If not for the location, I would have sworn the Dairy Queen story was about me.

I will bet you cash money that he’s one of those people who think their dates all go horribly “because women aren’t into nice guys.”

Jamie Allmeyer’s story reminds me of my checkered history of ordering drinks in Utah. There’s the time I was told the wine special was “peanut gringo.” There’s the time my wife and I ordered two margaritas and had four individual glasses delivered to our table (Cuz, y’know, we each wanted two margaritas a piece. At…

It does make her dumb—but we thank you for sending your comment in defense of her stupidity—we’ve been waiting for you!

She reminds me of my son... who at the grocery store picked up a lychee and stared at it for a good 5 seconds before turning to me with a big smile saying “Look! A coconut!” Because he’s only seen one in illustrations before.
