Though I am not really a great fan of gospel or, I must admit, much of Ms. Franklin’s work outside of her iconic period ‘60s and ‘70s albums (up to Sparkle)*, this film looks amazing. I love the fact that Ms. Franklin looks regal. I also love the look of the film itself. That ‘70s feel of the actual film looks…

I’ve managed to work it out where I am still married to my husband but divorced from my sister in law. The book might help my him though, so thank you for the recommendation.

Bless you. It took my husband years to stand up to his family. I am no longer in contact with them.

In my reality that is thievery NOT a hack. I would down with getting fired because I would NOT do it ( I have been a server, a great server at a cheap restaurant but I have my limits and this would be one.)

I have had falling outs w people for them being slightly cold to waitstaff, I will bomb a fucking bridge for this level of shit.

Yep. My mother has narcissistic personality disorder and is just a holy hell terror. My father is the nicest man you could ever meet but just completely enables her. He’s lost friends, my sister and I are all kinds of fucked up from being raised by her, its just a mess and he won’t acknowledge in any kind of…

Oh, the things I’ve rubbed my balls on in the workplace.

I know, right? You don’t scream at Librarians!

Mental illness and co-dependency can lead to some really fucked-up situations in a long-term relationship.

I would just dip my balls into a separate pitcher of heavy cream, which I would keep in the cooler especially for him.

The children who refuse grill lines eventually become the adults who want their milkshake in a bag.

I’m sure you’re 100% correct, & that’s why I could never work as a server, because I wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to fuck with assholes like that.

We’re coming home along the Thruway and decide to stop at McD’s. There’s a woman and smallish kid in front of us getting huffy and I can tell this won’t end well. And in due time she starts yelling at the cashier, “Why is everything more expensive here? This is ridiculous! You’re ripping people off!” and so on, as the…

I feel like, at that you should’ve proved her point and ran her over :P (But I’m a horrible person ;D)

I used to work in a bank, we had another branch less than a quarter of a mile down the road. Pretty much all banks in the UK are only open 0900-1700 (if you are lucky, a lot of them close at 1600) in order to give the most coverage we opened at 0830 and closed at 1630, the other branch was open 0930-1730 so there was…

I agree. I’m far more bothered by a fly or something than a hair, especially if it is just sitting right on top. Just remove it (and what it touched) and move on.

Oh, sometimes the managers are way worse than the customers. I’ve been lucky that at my retail job (where I’ve been consistently part time for 8 years) that the managers and boss have always had my back, but when I was worked at a museum it was different story. It was a very much “Us vs. Them” culture with the…

And down I go back into the grays but here’s another story of interest to no one:

I’m betting that their domestic life must be some special kind of hell.

I guarantee you this motherfucker brags to his friends that he’s figured out a “great Starbucks menu hack.”
