That happened to me last night. Grocery store. Kids mom thought it was funny.

Respect personal space, and teach the children in your life to respect people’s personal space. Ever been waiting in a checkout line with some stranger’s 4-year old that keeps touching your butt and legs? You try your best to move away, but you can’t get far.

I have a terminal case of resting bitch face so i can not understand why strangers want to be close to me in public. There is never a reason why i need your belly button to be touching my back when all i want to do is buy this bag of leafy greens that are just gonna rot in my fridge.

*sigh* It’s commonly known as “micro-aggression” committed by those who want you (for whatever reason) to hurry up and get the fuck out of their way. This, of course is only one form of this hideous, under handed,piece of shit activity practiced by the socially and mentally crippled insane.

This made me think of Ariana Grande damn near receiving a mammogram at Aretha’s funeral. That’s probably the best and most recent example of invasion of personal space. Poor girl.

Even worse is when they also believe you should be breathing down the neck of the person ahead of you, and try to creep their way into the polite distance you’re maintaining as if you won’t notice an entire adult body slowly cramming itself into the six-inch space between you and the other person.

Never forget:

Honest question, as I’m not from Alabama, but how and/or why is he being paid by Taxpayer money? Wouldn’t his salary be paid by Bama, and come from a combination of ticket sales, booster money and general University income?

Rev. Jasper Williams Jr. doesn’t have any regrets about his highly criticized eulogy delivered at Aretha Franklin’s funeral on Friday

Just a friendly reminder that this insufferable dickhead makes $10,300,000 of tax payer money per year while a citizen in Alabama working for minimum wage for forty hours a week would have to work 683 years to make that amount. Fuck you, Nick Saban. 

Kneeling is so much more effort than standing or sitting. It’s absolutely a brilliant way to both register disapproval but also display respect, and I truly believe that the people who want to view it as disrespectful were never going to view anything, short of complete submission, as acceptable.

Oh, I’m sure she’s right about her diverse family. Some are white nationalists, some are neo-Nazis, a couple are KKK, and there’s that one uncle who isn’t married.

Mouth breathing morons who reflexively worship the flag do not have the slightest inkling of what that flag means. Nazis worship flags. Americans stand, or kneel, for the freedom of expression and the right to peaceful protest against injustice that the American flag symbolizes.

“those who know me know that I come from a diverse family that represents modern America.”

I'm on team “Don’t touch a person you don’t know”. He shouldn’t be hugging everyone by default!

I’ve always viewed the kneeling as a patriotic act. We live in a democracy. It’s the duty of American citizens to point out to the government when there is a problem, and when the government is doing a horrible job. These guys are risking their jobs to make a public statement of those facts.

Sigh. The more appropriate response would have been to apologize to Ariana and “the whole Hispanic community” separately, considering Ariana is not Hispanic/Latina.

Sidenote: My job requires me to name specialty classes about floral and plant care. And I wanted to name one “The Care and Keeping of Orchids” and was HIGHLY disappointed that no one got the reference.

I’ve said it many times but, I’ll say it again. I freaking love this book, it was literally the most helpful thing for a prepubescent me. As an awkward person, i hated going to my mom with questions, and this really helped me feel ok with the changes i was going through.
