Oh, the fucking handshakes! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten to shake hands with a man in a business context without him stopping to say some condescending shit like “Oh ho ho, what a firm grip you have!” like I’m a particularly clever toddler who just demonstrated she knows how to use a light-switch.

I tried to order a "Veggie & cheese" sub at Subway once, "but hold the cheese" because I hate process cheese and really my PMS just wanted a lot of olives and bread. Holy shit they would not let me NOT have the cheese. "It comes with cheese" "Yes I know, but I don't want it, just the veggies" "but it comes with…

That is the funniest thing I've read in weeks.

I'm back! I told my husband his kosher story was such a hit before, he volunteered one even I had no clue about, so here it is:
