I think a spite buy is when you make a big show out of buying stuff to show that you have a lot of money?

True, but I just don’t see why Marge would leave him for a legitimate medical condition when she has been so kind and patient with his fuck ups, be it 10 years or 27.

I’m trying a slightly more stoic approach.

Exactly!

I am taking this harder than the divorce of my own parents.

Nothing in my post indicates that his refusal was the result of sexism.

Tattoo parlors are not definitely not retail shops, nor should they be treated as such. I definitely feel like tattoo artists are artists, and should have the right to kick people out for whatever reason. I just feel like the hands/neck policy is stupid and outdated.

I know, right? Can we just delete this whole clusterfuck and turn it into a tattoo photo post?

Oh yeah, you are not supposed to get tattooed while drunk for multiple reasons, and I think all of them are good ones. Drunk people should not be tattooed.

Working in customer service has made me tired of people who think that just because they are willing to pay means they should get whatever they want. It seems entitled and bratty.

I think her point was that if someone can get a tattoo of a bear on drugs, she should be able to get a relatively simple neck tattoo. She should’ve done some research on which shops would be willing to do it, since neck/hand tattoos are a common refusal and arguing with an artist will only result in you getting your…

You’re misreading my tone. I really do want you to have a lovely day. I’m not an asshole and I think this conversation just got a little heated, but I’m over it and I see no reason to hold grudges.

Honestly, I only responded to your initial comment because you didn’t specify which alcohol reference she was referring to. I just thought you just sucked at reading comprehension, so you got some massive side-eye from me. Then you clarified that you were talking about a different reference that wasn’t related to the…

You know that drinking often leads to people making questionable decisions, right? Have you ever had alcohol before?

Yes, she was intoxicated and they refused her. It was the correct thing for them to do because people have impaired judgment while intoxicated. I don’t really get why you’re side-eying her for it.

I don’t really understand what your point is. I am not deciding anything about anyone’s shop policies, and I think you know that. I am aware that I am just a person and not a Decider of Anything. However, if I think something is wrong or outdated I am going to speak up in the hopes that it furthers dicussion.

I wasn’t trying to argue either - I have enough people angry at me for not knowing who the ice cream face guy was.
