And then she’d be pissed at me for calling her actions cute. And since it would come across as telling her what to do, she’d harass the poor woman anyway just to spite me.
You could add, “so don’t make a project out of her because at some point it’s going to stop being cute and become harassment.”
I am now imagining that this waitress was a particularly bubble headed girl I knew in college who nearly killed us once because I told her to go straight at the traffic light, so she did, despite the fact that it was red at the time.
“Garbanzo beets” is something I shall adopt into my vocabulary.
This is relevent to my life experiences!

Recently, I was at a community cook-off event at a bar and was sitting at a rather small table with a group of my female friends.Without saying hello,a man joined our table, it was at that same moment I reached across the table to lift some empty bowls off of a stack of napkins then set the empty bowls to the side to…
When I was in 4th grade, I was already nearly 5’10”. Which is my current height. I was basically a year from finishing puberty. They thought I had a pituitary tumor and might die. Turns out I just have a huge pituitary and some hormone disorders. Point is, shit was hard for youngrootof. Kids were fucking dickbags.
I was sitting with a group of friends on the patio of a Mexican restaurant in Lincoln Square (Chicago). As we’re sitting there, a guy flies down the street in his convertible in a congested area full of pedestrians.
I was very badly bullied at school so I gave as good as I got. One dudebro in particular kept harassing me, so I accused him of bedding sheep. Simples. All through high school, nasty sleazy stuff from him, I rejoined with my sheep-fucker insults. They were awesome! We have a very strong repitoire of sheep related…
I... Still do that pretty regularly. But only when drunk, and to my boyfriend. (“You should probably have a glass of water” “your mom should have a glass of water”)
An American colleague (relevant) tells this one about himself. He was on a plane in Japan, on final approach to Hiroshima, when he noticed how new the city’s architecture appeared from the window. His Japanese traveling companion replied, “yes, we had a fresh start in 1945.”
I was working at the video desk at the library in the dark years before DVDs, blu-rays, or even streaming or digital downloads! It was a brutal time.
My parents paid for my undergrad but I’m still paying for law school. This is important context. My father is an asshole - even people who like him think he’s an asshole. One evening he called ( probably on his fourth JD) and wanted free legal advice about screwing over my mother in some aspect of their divorce. I…
I’m not sure I even see what the alleged “burn” is here and is being asked pressing questions in an academic setting puts you into “smash mode” because you are too impatient to listen to what your interlocutors are saying, I hope your graduation is for a terminal degree and that you’re not going on to grad school.
I’ve told this story before, but here it goes again.
Fairly recently me, my siblings and my parents were sitting around and in a sign of how we can now all talk like adults we were sort of telling “The most fucked up I’ve ever been” stories and my sister, who had a bit of a wild adolescence, tells a pretty horrific story. My mother, who was the least enthusiastic about…
Waiting at the airport for a flight. There’s a line of about 10 people at the counter that were delayed from an earlier flight. Some dude pushes past the line and screams at the desk agent that, “(He) has to be on this flight! And it has to be first class!” Agent tells him that she can help him but he need to wait in…
My grandmother was a sassy lady in her later years- very fond of aerosol hairspray, gold lamé detailing on her white outfits, and full makeup always. So when we went in for the viewing, her makeup was...I don’t even know. So awful that she didn’t look remotely close to herself. My cousin and mother would not stand for…
