First, that suuuucks. I'm sorry. However, I'm gonna disagree with Fluffy. Neutrality may initially seem attractive as a compromise position, but I'd seriously consider the ethics of each person's behavior before deciding how to react. If one person really did act like a turd, don't condone their behavior by treating…
I don't understand this "not getting in the middle." Where's this non-existent middle? One person hurt the other person. There's no middle there.
I hate when people say stuff like "taking sides" when only one person is acting horribly!
Every guy you (a woman) asked SAID they would love it?
Every guy I asked (and I asked several) said they would love it.
When they say "Get over it," they mean, "Shut up so I don't have to feel guilty."
#2: I never believed in having friends choose sides, but then a mutual friend did some pretty horrible things to me. My best friend choose him, meaning she decided I should be left out because he was uncomfortable around me. I needed to "get over it"...conveniently ignoring the fact that I tried to work it out with…
I don't think she is a terrible human being because she run over children and killed one. As you said, it was an accident, and the kids were being reckless. Though she was speeding and possibly texting, so she was being reckless too.
She was speeding. Regardless of stories of what may have happened and alternative points of view, that's why you don't fucking speed. Especially down a dark road without your full beams on. And when you do, and you kill/ injure someone, it's YOUR FAULT.
Unless she uses the entire $1.35 million for therapy, I'm not buying it.
This is a very well-written piece of fiction and definitely tries to get into the mind of the other person to make them "not a villain." However, I don't think suing god and everyone is going to help the case any.
I think it's good they walk a few steps in her shoes.
This comment is a perfect illustration of why I will NEVER do one of these from the customer's perspective. If you're really complaining about your server saying "no problem," you need to take a long, hard look in the goddamn mirror, because that is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
For me it was usually middle aged women that were the worst, but I would agree.
This is so so sooooo important. I don't remember the first time I had an orgasm from masturbating, but I was definitely in my 20s. I only JUST had my first with a partner at the age of 34. From the time I had my first kiss at 13 and then first had sex at 19, I've understood my sexuality as something for boys/men to…
Yes. I'm a cashier, and I'm constantly treated like a second class citizen. If I accidentally make some little mistake during checkout, I'm treated like an idiot instead of a human who made an error— as humans are prone to do from time to time. When I'm not the primary cashier at a local store, I'm busy applying and…
I used to work at subway. I worked with a girl who's doing her engineering master's an immigrant who was a pharmacist in her home country (with a master's), a girl who's doing her MBA, and a man with a master's in teaching, a boy who went on to a prestigious math internship in Hong Kong, and a boy doing graphic…
I hate these kinds of frivolous lawsuits. Hurt feelings should not a lawsuit make - discipline or termination perhaps, but lawsuit? Big Mama needs to get her big girl britches on.
I said that fruit is healthy because it has vitamins. I didn't say it was the only source of vitamins. Your crusade against fruit is bizarre.
