THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU WORK FOR LETTING ME KICK OUT ASSHOLES AND CARING MORE ABOUT YOUR EMPLOYEES THAN A COUPLE ASSHOLES. THANK YOU. I WILL NEVER COMPLAIN AGAIN.

Oh god, dog people are the worst. I was dragged to all sorts of shows when I was a kid, they are almost as bassackward as Republicans. When I first saw best in show I truly didn't understand it was a comedy bc I had already met some incarnation of every single character.

I once had a woman get angry at me because I didn't ID her. I carded her friend who could have easily been 18, but not her because she was clearly 30+ and she started to cry and yell at me. Then the one that I did ID told me that I "needed to be nicer" and got angry when I pointed out that it was my job to card people…

I wish there was another day for submissions because I have a DOOZY from yesterday.

I'm not a betting man, but I would be willing to bet that any number of those Midwestern dog show folks finance their enterprises by selling monogrammed thermoses.

This is not exlusive to the Midwest, either - I think just more rural areas. We took my dad and his wife to Korean BBQ to try something new when they were visiting recently, and we thought it was very reasonably priced at about $25 per person. They insisted on paying even though I kept trying to steal the check…

As a midwestern Christian (who would a) expect higher prices in NYC, because common sense, and b) NEVER leave a religious tract with a tip, let alone instead of a tip), I agree 100%.

Is Indiana part of the Mid-West? I had to work with four engineers from Japan for a week in Indiana.

[...]it's obvious I'm in the minority here.

I worked at a deli delivering food, doing cashier stuff and bussing food off. I once had a fucking receptionist at an insurance company hand me a folded $100 bill as a tip for a $400 catering order. Awesome!

As an atheist in the Midwest, it really gets old being in the service industry and being pummeled with Christianity on the clock. Whatever I'm being paid, it's never enough to deal with the "you need to be saved" pamphlets and speeches. And don't even get me started on the post church groups who file into their local…

KIRK CAMERON IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS PAYMENT

Because (as a new transplant from Australia to the midwest) Midwesterner's can be a kick-in-the-pants, pain in the arse. My friend's MIL "gave" her a dog then proceeded to bully her into keeping up the dogs "show routine"- essentially handing over all the responsability of the dog and its life THEN forcing her into…

A healthy persecution complex seems to be an integral part of being a Christian. You'd think they were still being fed to lions. In fact, I suspect we will soon have a list of the things like how saying happy holidays = war on Christmas. But then, it's a religion that revers martyrdom, of course they all want to be a…

It's kind of the same as when PoC criticize white people: if you are a white person hearing that and you don't do the things the criticism is about, then you're not being criticized, so our job is to kick down and not get mad (after first honestly self-examining to figure out whether we actually have been doing the…

I worked in doctors office. I collected the paper that held the diagnoses for you after you saw the doctor as well as your co-pay. When I told a guy his copay was 10 dollars, he gave me a "bill" and told me to keep the change and basically bolted out.

Here is how I see it. When you travel somewhere there is an expectation that you should try and understand, and to a reasonable point, cater to the customs of another culture. Here, there was a culture that was established for 50 weeks a year, and for 2 of them there were people coming in, who were clearly from a…

Yes, yes, yes! I am tired of the horrible oppression Christians from the Midwest have had to endure for literally CENTURIES here in America! Especially the *rich* ones. Oh, what a horrible existence to have endured. I feel such secondhand shame now.

this is it. this is the one. here we go.

You can stop now, Midwestern Christians are not an oppressed group.
