Is it running away, trying to escape from being eaten? Cuz ya know I’m having that dream tonight.

Feel free to “prank” me with fresh baked cookies anytime.

I watched another LAPD car chase on the news last year. It lasted almost an hour and when it was finally over, the driver got out of the car and started walking towards the police. The police kept yelling at her to stop, put her hands up, and get on the ground. She would pause for a second and put them up, but then…

The police shoot more white people overall, but they are statistically more likely to shoot an unarmed black person than an unarmed white person. Blacks tend to be viewed as more threatening and are given less leeway/benefit of doubt than white suspects.

The only time I didn’t tip a server was once at a chain restaurant with a separate “To Go” entrance on the side. I ordered a gooey caramel blondie dessert and then waited in a chair next to the station while it was being prepared. I watched the server attend to a few other patrons, handling their cash and cards and…

Prioritizing customers is one of the reasons I hate the tipping system. I’m not talking about you, Amuse Douche. It’s just when you mentioned de-prioritizing rude customers, it reminded me. I’m a black female and I don’t have to dress up for work, so I’m often dressed super casually. It sometimes feels like I’m “read”…

“Tipping is a choice. A choice not to be a huge asshole that forces people to work for free. Also, a choice to not have someone spit in your food next time you come in.”

I was at a museum in San Diego with an ex-friend a while back. They had a fairly large Buddha on display that was hundreds of years old. My friend, who was a neo-hippy, incense, and crystals kind of girl, proceeded to RUB HER HANDS ALL OVER THE BUDDHA’S BELLY for “luck” or good karma or whatever. I was mortified. I…

What about one person with one side of their body as the Olympian and the other side as the Vanity Fair Cover?

I worked at a small multiplex with an inside box office and one set of double entrance doors (next to handleless exit doors). On a particularly windy day, we had to lock the right hand entrance door because it keep rattling open. We put a sign on it saying “Please use other door” with an arrow pointing to the left…

When I worked at a theater, this woman came storming out of a movie after watching for almost an hour and demanded her money back. The reason? She hates “underwater movies”. The movie? Hunt for Red October. SMH. First, it should have been pretty darn obvious from the ads and movie poster that this movie was an…

Now I’m just picturing your friend sitting forlornly surrounded by bags of red and green Xmas candy with no one to help him tell which color is which.

I used to have a gorgeous opal ring, but cracked it while closing the counter safe at work one day. :(

Fine. But do their coats shrink in the rain? Riddle me that, Mr Science!

I grew up 20 minutes from Napa. Believe me, there are racists there (much like anywhere else). More to the point though, I suspect, is there’s a lot of snobbery there. I definitely could see there being issue with what some people might perceive as a group of “loud, classless black women”, an issue that wouldn’t…

I hate loud noises. I’m also the kind of person who will shush people who are inappropriately talking in libraries, at the movies, in live theaters etc. But even I don’t expect people to be quiet in a bar. Bars are normally loud anyway. You pretty much have to shout over the obnoxiously loud music they play nowadays.…

What’s worse is that Katy has to help the dress contain her boobs by actually pulling up on the straps with her hands.

It made me laugh how incredibly obvious it was that only one of the guys can actually sing.

Believe me. If you’re breaking out with fried chicken and burgers at the movie theater, you’re not “sneaking” anything. We can all smell it.

Faking a limp? That’s commitment to the ruse. I applaud you.
