The only time I use a (non sexy) baby voice is with my dog. And I would gladly welcome the Caninearchy.

Everyone else can weigh in on the substance, but I’d just like to state that I hate his affected “Britishisms”. Dude, you were BORN IN KENTUCKY.

Actually, since the release of all the audio, I’ve been wondering Jezebel would weigh in on this drama.

Isn’t that vocal fry? Dudes (especially old ones) complain about that and women do it anyway. 

I agree to a degree, but the level of violence that he wanted to commit, even if ‘venting’, was extreme.

I do notice fellow male customer service agents who are “Trying” do change their tone, but some dudes just do not care and don’t change their voice one bit.

You must be new here. Florida man/woman stories are notorious for this.

I’m a dude and modulated my tone and tenor a lot when I worked customer-facing jobs, too. For some folks it reassures them, but I don’t really know why. Whenever I talk with customer service, I try to be specific about what I want done as opposed to complaining about what is not to my liking. (cut the bullshit, focus…

Yes! Sometimes I notice myself doing it irl as well and it kills me. My husband points it out after the fact sometimes like “wow, the customer service voice really lept out there”

I think “customer service voice” is another extension of this. When I’m performing customer service my voice is several notches higher than my resting bitch voice. I know there’s been some controversy about hijacking the phrase “emotional labor” and applying it to personal relationships but I feel as though I have to…

Hot Take: Weddings are growing because as women gain power and money many choose to unapologetically do girly ass stuff with that money like wear awesome dresses and have a great party.

Hey man, as long as you’re having a wedding because you want to, and planning in a way that you’ll enjoy, there’s nothing to feel bad about.

I’m getting married in April. The only reason it’s even kind of big is because our families insisted and said they’d pay for the biggest things (like catering, my dress, and the venue), otherwise it would’ve been teeny tiny, and I’d planned on just buying a nice dress from somewhere I consider fancy (like…

Of course it goes without saying, that any discussion in the 6yo’s behaviour is entirely moot, and anyone pushing to bring it to the table is an obvious troll and/or idiot and/or should never be allowed near children.

“What are those for?” she asks, spotting the zip ties in the officer’s hand.

I worked at a primary school where we had to call the cops on a 12-year old. He had severe behavioural issues due to over-indulgent parenting, and a history of rampaging through the classroom smashing up anything he could get his hands on (including people). His parents had indignantly refused all behaviour mod…

How on earth did someone who has a history of hurting his own child be allowed to be an authority figure for other people's?

>> Turner was disciplined no less than seven times for violating department policy, including injuring his 7-year-old son. Records show Turner, who retired last year and was working in OPD’s Reserve Unit when he arrested Kaia, was also accused of racial profiling and sending threatening texts to his ex-wife.

Employees at the Lucious & Emma Nixon Academy expressed concern to Officer Turner after Kaia was marshaled into the car.

Liberal voters fleeing the coasts need to go back to the flyoverland states they originally fled to the coasts from. It might be the only way to break the GOP’s stranglehold on US politics.
