This is what I don’t get. No actually I get it but come on people. If your costume game is strong, you don’t need blackface. Blackface is for lazy, ‘edgy’ jackasses who just want to be shocking. Non-white people have managed for years to dress up as a variety of white characters without smearing foundation on our…

I have one co-worker that consistently does not wash her hands. Interestingly enough, this is the one co-worker who is first in line whenever there is a lunch and learn or anything at the office. We’ve all started telling her immediately to wash her hands because otherwise she’d dig right in.

Funny how it was perfectly okay for her to prop the door open to go walk her dog but then wants to play door monitor with Mr. Toles. Woman, you were the one who broke the rules in the first place. And if you’re that worried about this strange man entering the building, why would you then get into an enclosed space…

I get the feeling the building management is in CYA mode and is not likely to release anything that could make them look bad or like they low-key encourage people like Ms. Mueller to deputize themselves as door monitors. Most of the secured buildings I’ve been in have notices posted everywhere about not leaving the…

It’s a senior center but similar rules apply. When a person attends the senior center and is going on an outing in any way related to the senior center, the center can be held responsible for what happens to the participants. Senior centers are licensed facilities and staff are responsible for generally looking after…

I always go with the polite but bland answers. Most of the time, folks are just being friendly or polite rather than trying to be extremely nosy or offensive. And I find that a lot of older folks feel it’s rude to not speak to someone or show some interest in them. Your answers don’t have to be elaborate or even true…

They’ll probably fall back on saying that, as the seniors were attending a senior center and no senior center staff were on the vehicle, then the center would have been held responsible if something happened. So if Agnes tripped off the bus and broke her hip, the center would be held responsible for allowing Agnes to…

I’ll take my chances with a small spider. I usually try to just encourage them towards the window then flick them out. I’m not messing with anything this big. He/She can have the car and everything in it. 

You’re right that there is no official nanny exemption in terms of outright asking religion, race, etc...but it seems like nannies and domestic staff work in a sort of gray area at times. I get the feeling that agencies are willing to note race, ethnic preferences when interviewing a family even if those notes are…

Which is why you would ideally specify this requirement when advertising for a nanny or go through an agency that focuses on the Muslim community and also meet the person face-to-face. What you don’t do is basically hire someone without meeting them first. Even if you want a nanny of a specific race - something that…

There is a male version of Wonder Woman - three actually. Ajax, Hercules (an actual Greek demi-god just like Diana, and Dane of Elysium, the alternative version of Diana on Earth-11. They all went by Wonder Man at one point. So yes, a character that fits the general description of Wonder Woman in terms of power set,…

Yeah, the store doesn’t really have the option not to report it if they want anything to be covered by their insurance. Hopefully though Family Dollar corporate or the local managers have some options in terms of charging the people involved. And hopefully local police show some level of understanding. I think that’s…

And Nike will keep on rolling because, on a whole, this has been a great PR move for them. People like this mayor and the idiots lighting their shoes on fire just get to come off as a bunch of ignorant boobs with low critical thinking abilities and not always low-key racists. It’s free press and plenty of people who…

Nike doesn’t give a shit. They won’t sue because there’s no reason for them to do so. What’s going to suck is if local school districts, community centers, etc....had any sort of deal with Nike to sponsor events or provide equipment. Since tax payer money isn’t supposed to be used to support a company’s political…

This was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. No, she didn’t hurt the student but she did treated the taser like a toy. The kid was sleeping, not being disruptive. Teach around him and then wake him up after class. Or get a nurse if at all possible if you’re so worried about his well being. Don’t bring in a…

But you don’t punish a kid unnecessarily for going for the more respectful option. I’ve always been taught that you refer to someone older or in a position of authority as ‘miss’, ‘sir’, ‘ma’am’, etc...I’ve had people correct me and I try to remember that but in a pinch, if you’re older than me, my teacher, or my boss …

Sorry, tea hadn’t kicked in yet. 

That poor little girl and her family. I know it’s likely not practical but I want them to move. They shouldn’t have to but, realistically, they are now targets. Some of these people might claim that they’re just talking shit on the internet and would never actually hurt a child but I don’t believe that for a second.…

Nope. She was raking in some nice change with what looks like a catering business and possibly community donations. She also may not have been paying taxes on that business. The SSDI money was likely just the icing on the cake. Something tells me she also ran a good con, getting sponsors to foot the bill for some…

Yeah the prom party was just ridiculous. Actually this whole thing is ridiculous
