I broke my dad of that habit completely by little kid accident when I was maybe 8? We were sitting in a dinner and he made an awful comment about some lady’s weight and I asked him, “Daddy, do you think I’m pretty?”

Spill! I spent way too long in the folk/fantasy metal world in my late teens/early twenties. That said, I will still go see most of them if they tour to my wee Canadian city!

Didn’t know I was going to need a ‘Go fuck yourself’ form letter for this comment section, but I guess that’s what I get for assuming for once cis people might try and think about an issue from a trans perspective instead of their own. An out trans man on the cover of a men’s health magazine tells the world, and…

I'm fairly sure I owned a Barbie that had a similar dress in the late 80s.

I was once almost carried away by the singer of a popular (lol) folk metal band. He came up to me and just grabbed me, dude was huge and I’m only 5’1” so it caught me off guard. I still really dig their album, but he almost carried me to his tour bus. Luckily I was helped out by my band members.

“Because I couldn’t think of a reason why you would need that prescription.”

Really? So they routinely scrutinize **all* scripts written for off-label use, in the name of patient safety?

OMG.. that is almost the exact wording my stepsister uses in her rabid arguments against a $15 minimum wage, except she isn't being facetious. And she's as broke ass as anyone else. I cannot even begin to fathom what kind of thinking makes that idea seem logical. I'm just happy that she lives in California and I live…

These selfsame people are the ones constantly bleating, "The gays are bad because Sodom and Gomorrah."

So let me get this straight...

This drives me insane. It isn't just teenagers working these jobs, it's people with families who are trying to support themselves and others. Wages for lower and middle class jobs have actually FALLEN if you compare them to the 70s. I don't understand how we can allow this.

Oh my God, I think we used to work somewhere for the same manager. Our general manager was a raging asshole in several ways you describe and never stood up to customers EVER, but his defining moment was when he came up behind me, grabbed the bottom of my shirt, and yanked it up above my breasts. His defense? HE didn't…

I'm sorry, but the woman threw a pager into a crowded restaurant. He should have filed a police report and kicked her out. He was frankly really lucky that woman had such terrible aim, because had she hit a customer...

Some guys think it looks "cool" and "smart" and "important" to treat the waitstaff like slaves and then not tip because 'oh, look at me, I have financial savvy by not paying any more than absolutely obligated, ha ha!" They sincerely think acting like a dick (oh, excuse me, "being confident in what they do") turns…

I'd been working in the same downtown pub for 5 years (great little hole in the wall, so fun, but super dodgy sometimes, very blue-collar clientele/white collar slum spot) and had somehow managed to be the only server there who'd never been assaulted. Never shoved, bitten, spit on, hit, etc. Like I said, dodgy.

So I would just like to put this out in the world, BCO has made me a better diner and that makes me proud. On Friday I was out with friends, attending a Feminist/We Hate Men (not really, but some people think that's what the word means...) book reading. Afterward, giddy we went to a bar next door and made lots of…

No. She squirts it DIRECTLY ON THE TABLE. The kids proceed to finger-paint the entire table with their chicken strips, ketchup, and Splenda concoction.

It hath begun...(this is the practice and also I’m a beginner)

I’ve been looking for something to embroider on a sweatshirt as a FUNEMPLOYED project and I think this just might be it...
