Yeah, that definitely should have been mentioned. Can you find any information on what kind of threats they were getting? Because if we’re talking death threats, rape threats, vandalism, sure, that’s fucked up, it’s not okay to make people feel unsafe about running their business. But when I clicked on the pizza

“Family-owned business falls victim to culture war.” Funny how that whole “personal responsibility” thing never applies to white Christians.

The pizzeria has been shut down because of all the violent threats the owner have received. While I very strongly disagree with the owners’ sentiments, I disagree even more strongly with those who have successfully caused the pizzeria to shutter its doors. Making violent threats is a far worse transgression that

I worked in restaurants all throughout my 20's. Sexual harassment is a part of the job, so much so that, as both CA Pinkham and the woman in this story say, you just grow accustomed to it being a part of the job, ESPECIALLY from the kitchen staff. I have this strange feeling even typing this, that just acknowledging

She is a terrible designer if she doesn’t foresee problems EVERY fucking time, right?

I too hate them! “In this episode, Hilary has a major malfunction that consumes half her budget!” Me: “Oh, no, AGAIN?!”

I am an unashamed HGTV addict. Except I hate the Love It or List It people...

I do identify with Rob Thomas right now. For some reason, the most decent things on television, when you are in a hotel, are the home shows on HGTV. It’s a strange thing because I never watch those shows unless I’m in a hotel.

Not a great excuse, but I distinctly remember the first time I realised that you could flat out lie to get out of things you didn't want to do. I was about 9 years old and Sarahs' mum called to invite me over, but Sarah was a bit of a bitch and I really didn't want to go. My mum told Sarah's mum that we had to go to

This isn't that lame, but I think it's the funniest excuse I have heard. I was at work sitting in the boss's office when an employee came rushing in late. The boss asked why.

"I can't come to work today, my dog died."

I had a friend bail on a big day trip I was excited about because she had a pregnancy scare, having missed a period.

my grandfather was dying, most of the family was gathered around, and his wife of 48 years went to bed because "she needed to be refreshed in the morning".

this is one I actually used. I was five years old, playing with my cousins at my Babcia's house. She was making dinner and was a terrible cook. When she called us in for dinner, I told her I couldn't eat because I was sick. She asked what was wrong, and I told her it was prostate cancer.

"My hamster was scared."

In high school one of the guys in my health class showed up about five minutes late for class. When he arrived the teacher asked why he was late. He replied "I saw two girls making out and I HAD to watch them."

I had a roommate who was supposed to go to a going away party for someone she didn't particularly give a shit about, so the excuse she gave? "I have to wash my sneakers."

lol

is there not someone else in jail who admitted to the crime?

Destination weddings: you're doing them wrong. The only reason to have a destination wedding is to make sure that your crazy aunt Eileen and uncle Rudy who live in a trailer with their 17 children and grandchildren DON'T show up. You're not supposed to tell people you want them to spend thousands of dollars and take
