“You pay for something because you bought it, even if it ends up sucking”. So fucking true. While there are few and rare exceptions, if someone did the work for you, you gotta pay. I did freelance social media management for this guy. Brought his engagement and everything far up but struggled with content because he

I grew up rural in poverty then as a teen moved to a very wealthy oil money neighbourhood in Houston to live with relatives. The shift was insane, especially when I’d be sitting around in a huge house with every amenity, a driveway full of big expensive cars, the people have every opportunity and privilege and all

But if it was a Trump branded steak, I can see where the complaint stems from.

YUP. Worked at a country club in college as a waitress. Their favorite move is eating the entire steak / sea bass / lobster tail and THEN complaining that it was bad to get out of the check.

SAD!

Suffering the effects of the rich and have struggled with the greedy parasites most of my life. When I was in college and worked as a concierge at an upscale place, the wealthy were little tyrants, constantly throwing fits and getting everything they could for free. Talk about entitled! My last job, the CEO was born

Yeees. I worked retail providing uniforms to various schools - including very expensive private schools and perfectly normal public schools.

i’m poor as shit and have been most of my life—but on the odd occasion when i have to take a cab to get my groceries home (usually i only buy enough at a time that i can carry comfortably in my backpack because i have to walk or bike it home, but sometimes i need to get heavy stuff like cat litter so i will buy most

Remember: behind every great fortune lies a crime.

Can confirm. Part of my work takes me occasionally to the huge parties of frantically wealthy people, where I’ve personally been nickle-and-dimed and sometimes outright cheated of my work. Am amazed that the thought of saving a few bucks is more important to them than treating a contractor fairly.

I miss Behind Closed Ovens. *sad face*

Friend of mine drives for Uber and he says the same thing about tips: the best ones are from the working class people, those who are just trying to get home from their shifts at a fast food place, or whatever. Tourists are also good. The worse ones, the ones who almost never tip, are the rich Beverly Hills types and

“These are clearly liberal spirits, conjured by a mainstream medium”

I wish three spirits would appear and show him what the world thinks of him

It’s not even game. It’s like a 80's teen plot about the nerdy kid trying to get a date with the hot girl in school... but with a far less sophisticated plot. And the nerdy kid is an evil, maniacal shit instead of a misunderstood sweetheart with a heart of gold.

I wrote something related in a different post, but isn’t this a fairly laughable attempt at PUA negging? Like, his entitled misogyny is gross and egregious and we shouldn’t make light of toxic masculinity, but given that he claims to idolize James Bond and Hugh Hefner, there’s something hilariously pathetic about how

Game is the right word for it. It’s a play right out of a pickup artist “Emotional abuse for dummies” manual.

Yeah, and as a short woman I would not at all be bothered by this.

What even? Why did he think she’d care if the world thought she was short? Why is being short a bad thing? Every time another bizarre anecdote comes out about this guy I can’t help but think he’s literally an 80s high school comedy villain.

“Later, he called and left me a message. ‘Can you believe this? Who would say this? I don’t want people to think this about you,’” she said. “He thought that I would try to go out with him...”
