Hahaha oh man, that is my favorite thing.

Same. I think I just give excessively firm handshakes now just to prove a point. Limp fish handshakes drive me up the wall. Unless there’s a germaphobe thing for it. I get it. But that’s usually not the case.

It’s already been filmed, but I won’t know until later whether he blew it; it’s Schrodinger’s Fuck-Up.

This is my new plan for the limp/half handshake. It genuinely grosses me out when people do that.

Dresses like the world’s oldest/biggest 5th grader.

I will paypal $100 to the first Kinja engineer who makes it so that including old stories in a new post doesn’t retain all the comments from the old story. I’m 100% serious. Anyone else want to chip in?

Oh, gosh, the husband card. Yes. My husband does not like to go out, but I do, and he doesn’t care that I go out without him.

While it’s a male world and it has its elements of hard and soft sexism, overall, I think my particular place of business tried hard within what it is and is open to being called out, which is at least a start.

Hey I made it in the roundup even though I’m usually in the greys! This is like my proudest moment, you guys.

My never liked long hair. The last time she let it grow out it ended up annoying the crap out of her. Now, she has gorgeous hair. Like, nice, thick blonde semi wavy hair that people would just die to have, and I’ve always been kind of jealous of it. So she goes into the salon with this gorgeous hair down to her…
