Haha! I never thought of that. Yes, forcing them to sit in front of the class on the ‘stool of shame’ would be very entertaining. And you are so right about the rest.

“I went there when no one else did”

I have no idea. I like, don’t ever get mad at my friends. I’m weird. I will legitimately just shrug off things -- if someone is abusive, they’re not my friend. I’m very picky about my friends, and those who end up as real friends are those who I know I can handle them if they never change one bit.

I suppose, sure. From my group’s stance, it’s unfathomably rude to insist someone pay for their own birthday dinner. I guess it’s opposite in yours.

also, omg i love your user name and icon.  that took me a minute.

It is an undershirt.

I love how that was the fourth option.

That’s so crazy it just might work!

I pretty much go through life trying to teach my children to live by two mottos, “Can’t hurt to try,” and “Can’t hurt to ask.” What’s the worst that can happen? You ask and someone says, “No.” ok, then. We don’t go to that bar anymore. It’s really not so hard. 

Dear Salty,

All of that is important context, and actually makes the customer’s conduct even worse in my opinion. The woman didn’t have to pay for anything and the restaurant guided her to an establishment that would honor her coupon (from October 2017!). Buoy’s was upfront with her and seemed to be helpful. This lady just wanted…

Seriously - I mean, if you’re in that situation and you insist upon just using cross-dresser AFTER you know, then you are crossing over into trying-to-offend territory. Just don’t fucking do that. And frankly, these snowflakes need not be so sensitive if someone is correcting them to educate them.

That’s correct. Making a racist and/or sexist joke and finding it funny means you’re racist and/or sexist.

I’m replying so others can read because frankly I don’t trust that you even want to be nice if respectful based on this comment. It’s pretttttty easy if you just focus on whatever group is telling you they feel marginalized. When Asian Americans tell you calling them ‘Oriental’ is offensive you can throw your hands up…

It’s not typical for the bar owner to work as the bartender, so I didn’t really follow that whole paragraph about how the owner would prefer you spend more money and tipping will make up for that.

That again strays into stripping dignity from the affected group. The goal is always to help the disabled person, not make it easier for an untrained individual to make that call.

This is also my mom’s taste in men for me.

It’s far more likely they’re shaped like that because people used to put Christmas presents *on* the Christmas tree, and it would be small shit like mittens, or candy and fruit because Christmas wasn’t the orgy of consumerism it is today. Kids often only got candy a couple times a year so it was a really great present.…

shut up you sexist! libby’s a journalism!

Except in Iowa apparently
