So she wanted puréed tomatoes? Do me a solid next time, mash some canned tomatoes, throw them in the microwave, and watch her enjoy her marinara with nothing in it that classifies it as marinara (you know, like flavor or garlic and herbs)....it will please me.

Two stories...neither which are particularly 'evil' in comparison to some, but are made especially obnoxious because they happened in a very small and rural area (a few towns away from my much larger city) known for being an evangelical Christian Mecca.

The 'white' version is trailer park...have you honestly never heard that turn of phrase?

When I started waitressing during college I had never actually heard of celiac disease, and we receive very few (if any) gluten free requests.

Bonuses and discounts aren't things we 'need' or are necessarily 'owed', so I don't know that that is the best comparison for an abuse of power...plus I don't think anything really keeps people from making requests like that anyway.

I know. I'm surprised 'Ted' didn't list when 'Henry' went to the dentist or grocery store. He was very detailed, and we work with at risk youth, so not only was/is it pretty scary, it's a huge issue for our agency and clients safety and confidentiality.

I was bored at work a few months ago, and decided to google my agency and co-workers. There wasn't anything too interesting...until I found a website dedicated to one of my male coworkers.

One of my good friends will drink a beer or glass of wine in front of her recovering alcoholic husband (6 years sober). It really bothers me, but they both act like it's totally fine, so I haven't commented since my initial statement.
