She’s a famous writer so we’re not talking about super celebs here, but my mom can be mean as a snake to hotel staff. If she arrives for a conference or speech or something and the reservation isn’t right, which does happen a lot, I’ve seen her bring people to tears and call the (white) general manager of an Omni…

Trying to start arguments and scraps for no reason as a pathetic attempt to gain what they perceive as dominance. Like what you’re trying to do right now.

I feel like politicians are extra good at being dicks. I’ve heard so many stories about how they treat their staffers, mostly repubs but some dems too. No major dirt on any independents that I’ve heard though.

The Ciara bit doesn’t surprise me at all. There seem to be a few good stories about Jonah Hill in the comments here.

OH, if we’re counting journalisting snubs, Mindy Fucking Kaling. I really don’t want to get into specifics, let’s just say she’s prickly at best when ANYONE mentions race, and downright cunt-tastic if you try to ask her benign questions about her own experience.

Yeah, my Willie Nelson meeting was in Asheville, so he was in his element. Not like he’s got a reputation for being unpleasant, but meeting someone in their element is totally different. My sister used to see Sissy Spacek at the grocery store when she lived in this weird far-off suburb of Charlottesville, but thought…

Willie Nelson is a very warm, welcoming man. Obama has nerd charm out the yinyang and is very genuine when he shows gratitude to his staff.

I have a really bizarre fear about this :/ If I get into my preferred law school, should know any day now, I’m thinking of rewarding myself with VIP passes to a show my favorite band is playing. I’ll already be going halfway across the country to see the show, but I’m terrified of looking like a weird 28 year old…

Good god, RUDE. I can understand some of these tales, like a celebrity was drunk and shoved them or cut in line, but that’s a different level. Why on earth would you be anything but nice to someone who appreciates your work enough to show up and be a real fan? Even on a bad day, no reason to be mean.

Well, to me that’s just being thoughtful, but it all falls under the “I got this”. I think it’s hard to find a guy who just knows to do those things AND still sees women as equals — JME though, where I live the kind of guys who are thoughtful and actually do things for their wives/girlfriends tend to be pretty old…

I don’t subscribe to most of the belief system, but I do know alphas exist, and I also know you’re either born one or you’re not. You can’t fake your way to it. The men I’d categorize as alphas don’t NEED to neg women or act like misogynistic douches; they’re natural born leaders with strong personalities but enough…

A princess is a socially acceptable way to elevate girls yet keep them under control. Princesses are nonthreatening, literally and figuratively, Queens are not.

That does depend a lot on the country, though. A lot of them won’t recognize dual citizenship. I know an odd number of people who say they have Swedish dual citizenship despite being born and raised here; my guess is it’s an overflow from when they thought it’d be a foolproof idea to adopt an open-door immigration…

That’s so creepy, and it’s probably dead on.

This policy has NEVER worked. What on earth is going on in congress, because this fixation on food stamps lately is fucking bizarre. They’re subsidized by major food corporations like Kellogg’s and General Mills anyway, so food stamps actually require very little taxpayer money. But no politician wants the public to…

It’s a way to punish them. it’s not about how they should spend their money, because they don’t have any, and last time I checked my local meth dealer didn’t accept payment in Doritos.

Yeah, that’s how I am with my Sephora shopping — I mean, I could divert those funds and get mani pedis, but I’m much better at doing my own nails than concocting incredible skincare and artisan fragrances. Scent helps a lot with my depression, so I don’t feel bad for what some have described as “wasting money on a…

Estonia is offering digital citizenship :P I don’t disagree with you, bt-dubs, I took a lot more issue with the way the OP was phrasing the idea and her personal attacks on the author. Getting a visa is hard enough, let alone full citizenship, but no one wants to hear about that. So they wind up in situations like…

I think it’s lazy, but if you’re going to a legit salon and not one of these slave shops, it ain’t my business to tell you about your business. I have a *thing* about people who won’t do things for themselves because they don’t want to, I’m not meaning this to sound like a personal attack. probably because deep down I…

ooooh you’re fun!
