I’ve known people like that. The kind where the memory of their faces fades, but the memory of their house-stench lives on.

I feel like pumpkin spice doesn’t actually work well with coffee. For better results, pumpkin spice CHAI is a far better option (when you can get it).

Ugh, do we really have to have this conversation again? You wash your hands before you touch food, and after you touch something nasty (eg anything remotely poop-related). It’s the scrubbing, not the soap, that removes germs, and alcohol sanitiser is great if you don’t have access to a sink or if you know there’s…

You know you’re a redneck when you’re stealing what is basically water.

I... like pumpkin spice things (for the record: they’re not meant to taste like pumpkin, but the blend of spices which are used in pumpkin pie).

That said, we have definitely taken it too far. I saw this shit at my local Walmart awhile back. It’s just missing the tiny Ugg boots for cats, now.

I absolutely love fall and that includes fall-flavored things (I love spicy-sweet stuff), but sometimes they go too far with it. Pumpkin spice Nutri-Grain bars are garbage. As has been said, you have to go to bourgie independent coffee places for a good flavored latte. I’m not a fan of Starbucks coffee as a rule -…

My appreciation ebbed when they became “PSL” - what in the fuck. That said I cosign: bougier coffee haunts do them proper, don’t go to Starbucks expecting good. 

I worked for a condo management company. It’s typically not in the rules themselves unless it’s a newer condo or they’ve recently updated their rules. That type of message is typically posted in random building reminders and memos about security especially if they’re have been package thefts or break-ins.

The dog thing kills me. She’s all for secure doors until it comes to leaving one cracked so she can walk her fucking dog because she’s too lazy to shut the door??? That’s some strong privilege right there.

“You know, here we go again with, you know, you’re guilty until proven innocent.”

The condo board probably says over and over “don’t prop the doors open,” too.

Smart little boy. Fuck the cult of forgiveness. He doesn’t have to forgive the bitch who tried to Emmett Till him.

The BS part is the center should have some plan in mind for their residents to cast their votes, making this bus ride unnecessary, but it does not appear to be the case. There should already be a trip scheduled for those who can and want to vote in person and a plan in place to handle those who cannot.

This reminds me of a local cafe. Off season, there are 3 staff: the cook, the owner (Kathy), and an additional server. They get to know the regulars, and when we haven’t been in in a few weeks, they want to catch up. They like chatting about what’s on the local coconut telegraph. I remember when she hired a new…

I mean, it’s also possible just to be noncommittal, but kind, until they get the point.

My rule of thumb is a one word answer, followed by the most tired cliche I can possibly imagine. “Do you go to college here?” “No - laugh - college, just too damn expensive am I right?”

Just be nice to the old couple and bullshit with them a little. Otherwise do what salty said and politely shut it down by turning it back on them.

Have fun with it. You're not comfortable sharing your real personal details, but are you comfortable making up a fake persona and telling customers all about Max Powers?

Or you could cut the old folks some slack. Don’t make the mistake of judging them based upon your generation’s mores. Take it as a compliment that they actually give a shit about you as a person.

Do you go to college here?
