I agree that it’s not his job to call her out but it’s also not his job to put up with bullshit, regardless of how much money he is being paid. That line of reasoning is why people feel so entitled to treat people in the service industry like crap. Paying someone more money does not entitle oneself to act like a…

I agree that we should call people on their bullshit, but if it is your client, say it to their face/on the phone. Passive-agressive Facebook comments are not the way to go for us bullshit-calling adults.

While I agree this is not good for business in general, I feel like I wouldn’t be put off by this if “ugly” indeed referred to her attitude. Sometimes calling people out on their bullshit is necessary. Remaining silent is giving bridezilla (or other douchebag behavior) permission to keep on trucking through life with…

Yes to the honor thing. I’m going to go all, “get off my lawn” for a second here and say that Brides seem very entitled. When you get married you are paying to throw a party and you are inviting people to join you to celebrate. All that is required is that they show up, preferably not drunk yet. That is their gift.…

“medical risks”-get the fuck outta here. How about the “medical” risks that will occur when women start to become so desperate that they get illegal abortions. Also, any woman who is getting an abortion is fully aware that adoption is a fucking option.

I’ve always disliked facial hair. I feel totally justified now.

I totally agree, at the end of the day I’m paying for the food any (reasonable) request should be accommodated. If I want my steak well done with catchup on the side you should do it. Though if I ever do this please lock me away in a Russian gulag until I redevelop a sense of taste.

A seven year old from Congo can run circles around your 12 year old. I’ve seen 5 year olds in Peru on the street smarter than American adults. Seriously, it seems that you are extremely hung up on this boundaries thing. Also, people abroad are much more used to contact than in the US. Kids in South America jump on…

Do you often send your kids out to beg?

But do you not see how putting lipstick on kids’ is fundamentally different than giving a kid a stamp on their hand or a toy truck? Before you accuse me of being “wealthy”, I often relied on such kindnesses growing up poor in an Appalachian town and then the inner city.

I felt like he was just joking around with her and at 102 her hearing probably isn’t the best. I know what you’re talking about but this didn’t seem so bad to me. To each her own I guess.

My initial response was to the post itself, as was the portion talking about defending giving money. But your response still strikes me as strident for the sake of stridency.

If my kid came home with a strange stamp on them saying that they were playing with a stranger who put it on them, I would be pissed.

I just want to know what an indirect aunt/uncle is.

“Clothing with names is the #1 thing that leads to kidnapping”

OMG

I'm not in charge of their punishment, so, no. I just think that saying "some of them weren't there" is sort of being intentionally blind to a very pervasive culture that many of us have experienced firsthand. I don't really have an opinion on the school's reaction, actually.
