That beats Spit Cup Porn Dude. You win, which I am sure you didn’t actually want, but here we are.

I think my worst was as the lone IT techmonkeygirl for a branch office of (like, twenty people) an insurance/investment company, in Austin TX, in the late 1990s. It was low key, really, except for being the one who had to document and scrub the porn off the work computers when a couple of younger reps got caught (by…

I’m not, I’m amused at your indignance.

I like your version better!

This also happened to my Cool Aunt. It makes me really sad.

You’re being an asshole, honeybunch. Hadn’t you noticed?

You are making a lot of assumptions about me. That said, you need to learn what “compassion” means (hint: it’s not smug superiority). Have you ever worked in a face-to-face customer service job? If you haven’t, you don’t get to call a server a pussy for being upset out of sight of the customers over being treated like…

Why the fuck are you here, then?

Can we talk about how this sort of, “Well, I wouldn’t be upset if customers just abused the shit out of me while I had to stand there and smile and pretend I liked it, because I’m a better person than you.” smug bullshit is just a steaming pile of smug bullshit?

I think the degree of celebration has more to do with the percentage of Italian Americans in a given state. It’s a Thing in Illinois, for example. Trash doesn’t get picked up, schools are closed, there are sales, etc.

The kids might be five-foods-only autistic kids, but in that case, Bitchy Asshole Mom should have brought food for them or made sure that they got included in the “under 10” count so they could have that. Given the behavior, though, I’m putting my $$ on “Just special snowflakes.”

“Tortilla dip” sounds like some sort of tortilla soup flavored sour cream/queso monstrosity.

Fake peanut allergy lady needs to get some fucking perspective. Holy flaming shit.

That’s a good deal less insulting than the actual OP.

Americans, in general, are fucking terrible. Have you seen the news recently, or, like, ever? Not all of us, but enough of us, and with enough noise and fanfare, and often enough, for “Americans are fucking terrible” to be generally true statement.

And now I want one even more, but I also want a steamed pork bun. Dammit.

Don’t forget that this also happened during an egg shortage extreme enough to cause, not just price increases, but purchase limits at the retail level of as few as 2 dozen eggs.

That’s my thinking. People will just screencap and save as a different format.

I’m all about history-nerd levels of detail.

Well, I did say “survived” not “were unaffected.” But, yes, and also, thank you for both confirming my supervague recollection and giving that background info, it was interesting. <—- not sarcasm!
