You have hit it exactly. This is no different than being an asshole customer in a restaurant. Never mess with the people making or delivering your food.

But it WAS a hoax. They were correct. He didn't want the stupid cake, he just wanted them to not make the cake. What are the odds that was the first bakery he called? How many cakes did he "order" and then cancel?

No, people aren't equally shitty on either side, because refusing to print a hateful message on a cake…

Yeah, I live in Missouri, and my local grocer had 8 oz strip steaks on sale for $4 a piece. He can afford them.

Not to nitpick, and it absolutely should be in the bible, but "Be excellent to one another" is actually a quote from Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure.

I just... I don’t understand the logic. You’re getting the same amount of money from the state, regardless of what you eat, and shitty processed foods which undoubtedly will not be banned can be just as expensive as buying a fresh fish filet. I used to get so much shit because I bought organic food when I was on food…

Oh, boy. Someone mentioned how the homosexual agenda!!1! was targeting businesses that wouldn't serve gay marriages or causes only to shame them when they declined to provide a service the other day. So, uh. *points to this*

Let's be complete here. The bakery *was* going to make an appropriate cake for the message. However, when it became clear that the employees just couldn't shit enough, even after a whole box of Ex-Lax, they just didn't have enough appropriate ingredients on hand to make a suitable cake.

Even if you were to run to the local convenience store and buy your chips and salsa at their markup, who cares? It’s your budget, and you know how to make that money last. Food assistance does not mean you need to live a life of joy-deprivation. The way we shame people on assistance in this country is just so wrong.

You know what’s really stupid? If you get food stamps, you need food stamps/EBT you could buy nothing but lobster, that’s true. HOWEVER, if you do that you don’t eat for the rest of the month. So no one fucking does that. It's a non-issue.

I’m a poor who gets SNAP benefits. Yep, I said it. Mr. tidymaze is on disability and I was woefully underemployed for a while (job situation is much improved and will get better).

Use a few tablespoons of it to make chasseur sauce, then pour that sauce on some meat, then eat it, then die happy.

I'll give you all a real deal on my Cotton Consommé - just $7 a cup. It promotes ketones, removes toxins in your bloodstream, and offers a natural immune boost.

Make a stock and then reduce it into a demi-glace. I don't know where I would use this, but it sure looks like fun.

I worked in restaurants all throughout my 20's. Sexual harassment is a part of the job, so much so that, as both CA Pinkham and the woman in this story say, you just grow accustomed to it being a part of the job, ESPECIALLY from the kitchen staff. I have this strange feeling even typing this, that just acknowledging…

Yeap. I have been unable to find a doctor (I can afford) willing to do it for me, because I am unmarried. I am engaged, and I have to wait until I get married, and he has to give written consent. I don't want to because I merely don't want to give those assholes who have these policies that money!

When my step-dad went in for a vasectomy consult after ten years of marriage and two children (plus me) with my mom, the doctor told him he should try to talk my mom into getting her tubes tied instead, in case he ever got remarried and wanted more children. He went to a different doctor.

What if she doesn't want an abortion but the man does? Does the fact that he's a man trump her *choice* to carry to term, or does the law always side with the person who doesn't want an abortion?

Yeah, the only thing that makes me feel better about that is that I had to sign for my husband's vasectomy. (We were actually not married at that point and the doctor was like, oh, sure, whatever, and totally didn't care and would have done it anyway, but since I had gotten SHUT DOWN TOTALLY when I tried to get my…

I recently got a Mirena, and although they had no law backing them, the healthcare providers heavily insinuated I needed my husband's verbal consent to have it inserted. "It's important to consult both parties on decisions that will effect both of them."

Note that they didn't ask if we'd discussed it - they just…

I found out recently that some doctors require the spouse's consent to perform permanent birth control, which is absolutely bonkers to me. Doesn't that violate HIPAA in like a billion ways? But at least they're consistent and they sometimes require it for vasectomies too. SO MANY EYE ROLLS.
