Yep, me too. One of the best/worst jobs I ever had. How did he have some of the best venues in Melbourne? Did you know he's completely banned from going into the Lounge and Big Mouth?

no shit!! I worked for Carlo! Just off Chapel. Worst owner I have worked for in 24 years. I still have moments.

No, but I might be aware of the Carlo you're talking about. There was a hell boss Carlo, but he was more of the Chapel street variety.

he was sooooo jealous of nicole kidman.

Was your bosses name Carlo?

Hawaii is part of the U.S. I'm not a "foreigner."

I worked at a pretty close-knit little place in St Kilda for several years. There was a guy who worked there, Joel, who, for all intents and purposes, was delightful, but he struggled with substance abuse problems. He was self medicating because he had undiagnosed schizophrenia (which no one, not even Joel himself,…

Maybe donate it to a non profit? They might be able to treat employees, use it as a raffle prize, or hand it over to a deserving volunteer/client.

And who has such a sweet video store hook-up that they are willing to put up with ongoing shitty friendship to keep that channel open?

What's a video store?

Relationships is by far my favourite sub, perhaps surpassed only by the twin amusements of SRS and TumblrInAction, which if you read both put you in a kind of centrist trance of sorts.

Because I am completely obsessed with r/Relationships, I read this one. The fakey's are always the best. A good recent fake was a guy who lived with his wife and 3 kids in a trailor, below the poverty line, on foodstamps, and she spent the entire $10,000 tax return on a trip for him and her to a cosplay convention and…

Im sorry if you found my descriptive offensive. Im not sorry for using it, but I can empathise that reading my words *could* cause offense, or at least a desire to defend the woman I was describing from judgement. I feel like it was the least offensive way to explain how degraded her illness had left her body. The…

Maybe he WAS proud of how far she had come in her eating disorder recovery, that she was comfortable enough to eat in public & had managed to eat that much in a sitting? When I was recovering from my own this was a big achievement for me.

I don't doubt you at all, based on your descriptions of their (apparent) eating habits, and that guy sounds super gross, but I'm still uncomfortable with the phrasing "You know when it goes beyond thin and into emaciated, bony, very un-well territory. " I feel like you don't need to describe somebody's body like that…

agreed on point one. Back in Melbourne, there was this couple who you would see around my area. Very "young rich professional" types who only ever wore work-out clothes on the weekends and would go out for brunch alot. Anyway, he was your typical gym rat, buff, "hot guy" type and she CLEARLY had an eating disorder.…

Yeah, I looked fuckin' great when my body was actually eating itself away. I was so beautiful when my electrolytes were so low that I could've had a heart attack.

And hey, I had BEWBS so I clearly wasn't anorexic, right?

my favourite thing is when supposed story and true story collide: but seriously, I would have LOVED to have worked with the airline on this one!!! In no way did I refuse their overtures to slightly change my swear-word t-shirt so I could stay on the flight!! Nor did I act like a huge douche, secure in my knowledge of…

probably the same basic threats and bullshit they all use- the people who are MY bosses are very powerful and will hurt your family, they will come and get you and take you to a way worse place, be good and i will try to protect you. Also the abuse, abuse, small kindness, abuse pattern is remarkably effective and…
