There is simply no reasoning with these paranoid nutjobs. As someone with severe asthma, I get my annual flu shot in late summer and worry until March that someone who’s decided they’re a special snowflake will give it to me (because vaccines don’t have to be 100% effective to be beneficial and necessary).

Considering the number of replies on this post, I doubt anyone will even see this, which is a shame. Because after more than twenty years of dealing with this sort of thing, there’s one thing that has been very consistent, and it’s something that I wish I had realized in my 20s rather than my 40s.

Well, I guess if Sherri from accounting ran him over, she wouldn't get charged with murder then? Since she clearly couldn't have been the one driving? ;-)

My former boss was ranting about how a female co-worker had to leave early to pick up her sick child from school. “It’s irresponsible. I have a kid and you don’t see me ever having to go pick her up because she’s sick.”

"Oh, are you the paralegal?"

I work in education, specifically special education, so this isn’t usually an issue at my school site, though I have seen instances where, say, a male psychologist on the team insists that he is the only person who makes eligibility decisions, when in fact those are team decisions.

If it is so important to them, then give it to them to keep! Your house is not your extended families storage shed.

Reminds me of the time i worked for a collections agency. They threw me a big birthday party, then right when i sat down to take a bite of some tasty cake, asked me to go into the boss' office, and fired me. walked me out and all i could think of was that piece of cake, just sitting on my desk. All alone.... the…

My mother was working in a restaurant when she was 20, and she had previously warned the manager on numerous occasions about serious issues with the smoke hoods, and the air vent. The manager never did anything about it.

Absolutely incredible story. Thank you so much for sharing it. What an amazing journey.

As a child of the 70s and 80s, this video was for one thing, and one thing alone. When NORAD would have detected thousands of ICBMs crossing the North Pole and the infamous alert would have sounded before hundreds of millions of Americans would have died. I'm sure other TV networks and local stations would have…

"What was it like, raising these two?"
"It has not been easy." and then later, "I know we have to take responsibility for them."

I'm ROLLING.

She's so embarrassed by those two. That's the glorious part of all this. You can just picture her sitting there watching this, afraid the neighbors are all seeing her children duke…

I love this mom. And by love this mom I mean that I really do love her but I'm so glad she's not my mom.

I refuse to believe that isn't actually a photoshopped Christopher Reeve. It's uncanny. The Leia looks slightly different from Carrie Fisher (I think the eyebrows?), but the Superman is just bonkers.

The make-up work on Superman and Leia is just bananas. It's as transformative as a mask or CG. I'm lost for words.

If nothing on this list works, please consider seeing a psychiatrist. Depression is real. Chemical imbalance in the brain is real. While maybe there are people in the world on medication that don't need it, some people do. Don't be afraid to find out if medication could help you.

Maybe a little OT, but I don't care. If you ever donate stuff to shelters, throw in some tampons and pads the next time. Being homeless sucks enough as it is and homeless women often have to make due with makeshift pads out of toilet paper and similar.
