That comment made me so sad. She must have felt so dehumanized.

“I was just a quiet girlfriend who got beat on and told to sit down and shut up.” This is followed by an uncomfortable silence. “My part has no value to, probably, what they really want to talk about,”

Yes. That’s exactly it.

I feel like you have to have little to no self respect to work in food service.

We’re coming home along the Thruway and decide to stop at McD’s. There’s a woman and smallish kid in front of us getting huffy and I can tell this won’t end well. And in due time she starts yelling at the cashier, “Why is everything more expensive here? This is ridiculous! You’re ripping people off!” and so on, as the…

Back when I worked for my local library, I had a patron tell her little boy not to talk to me because I was “the goddamned devil.” All because she had a small fine, which she didn’t even have to pay in order to check out her items that day.

Regarding the screaming woman in the pizza place: I did have an occasion once where my then 2.5 year old daughter asked me why some woman was yelling at an employee at my local grocery store. It gave me great pleasure to explain, very loudly, that the yelling woman was mean and nasty and probably very unhappy with her…

That woman sounds CRAZY. Hey kids, don’t ever act like that.” Never dreamed that someone would back up the lunatic and give the message…

I used to work for a music producer who would get her power-trip stroked by sending back the food. Every. Single. Time. It didn’t matter what she ordered, where she was eating, or any other variable you can think of. This was just her way of saying, “I can bend others to my will” (probably because she wasn’t even on…

Dear dining public:

I don’t understand why THIS sorority video, of all sorority recruitment videos, was the one to cause so much drama. Is it because of the bouncing? Aside from getting through the trial of my rapist, I think sorority recruitment is maybe the most sexist, awful thing I’ve ever experienced. Definitely the worst thing I…

What are you guys talking about? This video is super diverse. They had one black football player in it for a few seconds and they even twerked.

They’re also against affirmative action because they don’t see color. And his female friends all think the wage gap is merit-based.

Can’t keep a stiff upper lip about the ruling: he hasn’t got one.

Why yes, I always want to limit my own rights!

Is this like Romney’s binders full of women? I want binders full of gay people!

I’ve been talking about this to Ellen and Elton and we have disbarred those people from being gay under section 1 of our charter that demands that only people who exist can be members.

He’ll just make up a bunch of names like George Glass.

Well if you pay them enough sex workers will say anything, Senator.
