Let’s just say normal guesses are Rachel or Sarah, and my name definitely didn’t start with an M. Hah it was just a wild guess, like a white Keisha

US food laws require a lot of stuff to be labeled “refrigerate after opening”. The mustard is worrysome (honestly anything at that consistency) but pickles and maple syrup should be fine as long as you get through them at a reasonable rate.

I’m sure you’ve heard, but UK eggs are different

Seriously! I was told to brush off stuff from my old apartment all the time. Then when I finally broke my lease, I was lectured for not being more perceptive/careful. Honestly. 

Just this weekend a guy forgot my name (I’m white) and guessed that it was “Mercedes” 

Mary Janes and Bit O’ Honey for this old soul (with young teeth)

I’ve seen their 5-lb Krackle bar in the ChocolateWorld gift shop, but never a normal size.

Right? I can’t imagine the right timing for this, but DAMN this ain’t it. It also really skeezed me out that it was a prank “for her husband”

I broke my last lease because a weird maintenance lady was found sleeping in the laundry room (it was in a common area) for about three days and the building manager didn’t think it was an urgent need to get an automatic lock on the front door (we had a key lock that no one bothered with). She did fire her, but also…

I definitely love my second story place for that reason (well, that and the multiple interior locks). Honestly in your situation I would have been happier if they had stolen some valuables, because at least that makes sense. 

I was a hostess at a place like this (we had an auto-rotate system in the computer that would assign tables for me, even), and when people would ask for a specific table out of the rotation the servers would have my head for it. ESPECIALLY when we were empty, because the table was almost always in a dead zone with no…

I never thought of myself as an incredibly picky child, but I do remember being forced to chew on venison for ages to the point of crying (I love it now). We lived on basic kid staples, and despite my dad’s constant worrying, I turned out fine. My sister and I are both perfectly healthy adults who love cooking and…

The creepy landlord one GOT ME. I’m pretty sure mine is harmless, but there’s a definite vibe that makes stories like that hit a little too close to home. 

I’m assuming you mean after her head spent some time on its own?

I know it’s not enough, but it is comforting to think about the hell she’s putting her pores through. May her breakouts last for weeks.

This is Dr.Pimple Popper for fish and I hate it

I made a gorgeous summer sangria (mocktail sangria is just punch, isn’t it) that was mainly white grape juice with peaches, lemon juice, and red raspberries left to mix in the summer heat for a bit. It looked gorgeous in my server, and guests could choose whether they wanted to top it off with a sparkling rose OR a…

Women just hear it ALL THE TIME. Sometimes people’s opinions are more tempered/less garbage, and usually intentions are meant to be supportive (then end note on paint-rolling and make-up anonymous is a little telling, tho), but generally it feels gross when guys say they prefer a natural look. People are allowed to…

I mean, if he’s an MLIS student he could 100% become her supervisor upon graduation and fire her ass. Granted that’s pending on his ability to study and complete his degree
