After I read the story here I braced myself & went on a few other sites just to see what others thought. For the most part people are fucking disgusted & rightly so but there’s also ALOT of “he shouldn’t have ran!”, “what else should the cop have done?!”, “he didn’t do anything wrong.”, “he was just doing his job &…

Show me one couple who has conceived a child through oral sex, or sex after a vasectomy, or hysterectomy, or infertile couples, or sex after menopause. Are they “unnatural” as well, Pat?

If this school doesn’t make girls normally wear skirts, how can they ban what is essentially pants on girls at prom? Made up policy, indeed.

Along the same lines as Becca's story about people making assumptions about educational backgrounds, I waited tables at an Italian chain restaurant that falls between Olive Garden and Macaroni Grill in terms of cost/quality the summer between college and law school. Our clientele was generally pretty decent, and as a…

There are two types of customers: those who adhere to a Copernican/Galilean heliocentric model of the Solar System and those who don't. The former are rational human beings who understand that the world revolves around the Sun. The latter are unrepentant assholes who are truly convinced that they are the center of…

Managers who don't stand up for their employees are THE WORST.

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know my cheddar biscuits will be free. And I won't forget the men who died, so I can bitch about automatic gratuity.

So does this mean the SNL castmembers in this video won’t be invited to the annual Scientology recruitment lunch for celebs?

I should also take this opportunity to say, to the assholes who are so fond of telling women, "We're not mind-readers! If you don't like something a guy is doing, it's up to you to tell him!": Dudes, if it's obvious to an entire group of blind-drunk women that a stranger is uncomfortable, then it should be obvious…

Bachelorette parties will forever have a special place in my heart. The first time I ever went to a real club (alone and with a male friend), this guy kept creeping over and grinding on me, uninvited. I wasn't yet the elbow-throwing feminist menace I am today, so I didn't know what to do other than sort of awkwardly…

"I don't understand why women just don't TELL men they aren't interested."

In the ‘90s I worked with a (cis) guy who claimed to complete in martial arts and was suffering from bone cancer. My father had just recently died from bone cancer, so I knew he was full of shit - and of course, I was the horrible bitch for doubting this noble fellow. So I started with Deep Concern, asking about his…

I saw someone say she looks like a Gelfling now, and... I can’t un-see the comparison.

"if it doesn't add up to minimum wage, the restaurant has to make up the difference,"

One of my gal pals worked at a very fancy, expensive fondu place. Side work was one thing, but they often had to come in early and to prep work in the kitchen: cutting vegetables, fruit, meats. Because the restaurant didn't want to pay for another kitchen worker that they'd have to pay minimum wage.

I'd like to point out for any one selfish or self-concerned enough to not really care about the servers themselves or their wages, but in a place with heavy sidework odds are that you are actually getting shittier service than you would otherwise.

Obviously, he's trying to prevent stuff like this from happening. Oh the horror!

I'm not sure if other commenters have mentioned this (my phone is slow) but when I was listening to this story on NPR, apparently when the officer came to question her after her surgery, he didn't read her her Miranda Rights and refused to let her see we family, so hopefully that's at least one ground she can appeal…
