Huh. It’s a really interesting feeling to read one of these posts and go “Wait, but that doesn’t sound too different from the policy at...oh. Right.”

*goes to blog specifically for talking about makeup*

This is fascinating, and actually super helpful for me too! This is definitely getting bookmarked for October when I'm panicking about wedding makeup and not knowing how the hell to do 1920s looks.

Ugh, that is SO GROSS, I am SO SORRY you had to deal with that disgusting asshole, and your username is AMAZING.

Wait, people really hate on honeymoon registries??? We're in the exact same boat of not needing any stuff (and not having anywhere to put it for that matter) and I've never done any real travelling, so hell yeah we're going to use our registry for a wonderful trip instead of stuff. Plus the idea of a regular registry…

I totally feel you on how terrible it is to work in a place with inadequate AC. It wasn't uncommon for our store to get up to 95 in the summer, and that was with the AC running full blast and that temperature was for the thermostat on the other side of the room, not behind the counter with all the fridges, ice…

God, I know right? Although in this one case I have to say that my manager is actually not a bad person, he just doesn't do conflict well and got flustered when this asshole started getting all blustery. When the coworker who overheard all this called him out for fucking up he totally owned up to it. Doesn't change…

Oh god, my heart hurts in sympathy reading Rabbit's story. I had to deal with a much less severe version of that a few years ago and even that was enough to make me shaky, upset, and feel very betrayed. We had this one customer who came in to get coffee with two of his friends every single morning from the state…

May I ask what part of the Central Coast? I'm in Sacramento, so I'm hoping that the somewhat-larger city aspect of it will help keep the price down due to more options, but I honestly have no idea what the prices are like here. Although honestly I think the peace of mind of knowing I'll have amazing makeup without…

Um excuse me but stopping the sun in the sky so I do not experience a single moment of minor discomfort is, like, a basic part of the restaurant service I'm paying for. I make sure to take a full dollar off the shitty tip I was going to leave every time I notice the sun has moved, that's just what's fair.

That's totally the way to go. I always make a habit of pulling the trash can from under the sink and stationing it behind me so I can just chuck stuff in there as I go. That plus cleaning the smaller dishes while I'm cooking makes the experience soooo much more enjoyable for both me and my one-man clean up crew.

My fiance cannot stand the fact that I am a compulsive shoe scatterer. It's like clockwork - we clean the house and pick everything up, and within a few days there is a swathe of discarded shoes by the front door, in front of the couch, and under the kitchen table. I can't help it, I just can't deal with having the…

I'm right there with you on the rage flashback. I learned after about the fourth or fifth argument just to give them an iced latte and shake the hell out of the milk jug to pour some bubbles on top. They think they got what they want, you avoid a headache, it's just for the best.

The only thing I can think of is that the poor thing had a really mixed up idea of what lactose intolerance is. I'm not quite sure how you could get it in your head that it's calcium that's the problem and not lactose...since it's you know...in the name...but I've learned not to underestimate how wrong people can be…

God, that is horrifying. I suffered a fair number of burns as a barista (busy shifts, boiling water, and clumsiness are not a good combo) but jesus I cannot imagine someone telling me to just put a condiment on it.

Oooh, that link is super helpful thank you! I'm in a medium largish city in California that seems to have a pretty thriving wedding culture (I didn't know that was a thing until like three months ago??), so luckily I think it'll be pretty easy to find someone. And those prices seem a lot more reasonable than I was…

Oh perfect timing on the wedding makeup question, I've been on the fence about it myself. We're having a 20's themed wedding on Halloween this year, and while I can whip out a pretty great cat eye and red lips no problem, I'm not sure if those are the looks that will be appropriate for our theme. Plus with my…

That is borderline terrifying. I am so, so grateful my fiancee shares my horror of public proposals and managed the amazing feat of asking in a public place (the movie theater where we had our first date) with zero audience (after the movie was over, at a very late showing, and after he pretended his foot was asleep…

I'm so glad the baby punting story ended the way it did, because man have I seen too many parents who get Very Angry when you suggest that maybe their toddler shouldn't be totally free range in a busy restaurant. One time when I was little and out with my parents at a local pizza place, these two country club moms…
