Well, it never happened, so I'm not gonna cry about it. Guess I'm not a feminist anymore. It's been real.

And even if it happened (it didn't), it seems like that ended fairly well all things considered. Dude didn't get raped, dude didn't sleep with crazy lady, and besides a brief blow-up over text which can easily be ignored, really nothing bad happened at all. The only sad part is that the person is trying to equate someone angrily texting about why they didn't gently caress to, you know, actually being raped.

[EPIC RANT] My hairdresser is pregnant... (self.childfree)
submitted 1 day ago by DrawerFullOfDicks [OP Was Epic]
472 comments share

My hairdresser is just beginning her third trimester. She's been trying for a while to get pregnant, and finally succeeded. I'm happy for her but it's well known in my circle that I want to remain child free. I lost my fiance four years ago in a car accident and have since realized I don't want kids, and it will be a long time before I get into another relationship.

She has made small comments about me one day changing my mind before, but I guess her hormones have made her crazy because last week when I went for my cut and dye, she started talking about the pregnancy. She's one of those smug pregnant women (I am a goddess who can do no wrong!) but she's also having what I assume to be a difficult pregnancy or something because she is always too sick to go outside and in too much pain to walk and too emotional to, you know, function. For the record I think most of this is for attention. Now usually I tune this out and have told her as much. I really don't care about vaginal dryness and your loss of a sex drive thanks to your need to procreate. But somewhere in the middle of her pregnancy rant she just started bawling.

If you have scissors by my head, please don't stand there crying trying to cut.

I asked what was wrong and she sobbed for a minute before straightening up and going "I'm sorry it just kills me that you'll never feel this sense of completion in your life! Jay died and you didn't try for custody of [his son](who has a healthy, happy mother who I would never take him from). Ever since I found out she was growing in me, I've turned into a mom!"

I stayed silent, but it was pretty difficult. She kept going. "I guess some people are okay with that empty feeling but I just want more out of life." It was at this moment I reached into my purse, where I happened to have a mini bottle of wine. I said, "what empty feeling?" opened it, chugged the whole thing, grabbed a cigarette, and walked outside (with a head full of bleach). I smoked, making sure to show my enjoyment of the nicotine; I'm not even a heavy smoker but she was before baby time. I came back in to find her glaring at me. "I'm allergic to the smell of cigarettes when I'm pregnant. Ashley can rinse you." So we rinsed, I chatted with the other employees, then sat down for a trim/style.

During the trim she asked what my problem was. I explained that while I am happy for her, it's insulting to insensate that I'll never be happy because I don't want kids. She apologized and said she didn't mean anything by it, she's just noticed a change in herself and she can't understand why others wouldn't want to feel that. When I told her telling a widow to have kids is like telling a war vet to vacation in Iraq, she rolled her eyes. "You'll get over him! It's been what, four years? That's SO long!" I was shaking with rage by this. I said "can we please just not talk anymore?" So she shut up to me but turned around and complained to her fellow stylists about all the things she can't do while pregnant and how much she misses

It was at this point I whipped out my phone and ordered sushi to the salon (I had at least another half hour there). She blabbed on and on and on about her little parasite and how perfect she's gonna be and how she just feels made for motherhood while all the old ladies in the shop just agreed and fed her ego. Right as we finished, my raw fish showed up, caviar and all. I opened it right in front of her and took a huge bite. "That's so mean. Why would you do all that if you know I can't be around it?"

"Sorry, did it leave you with an inescapable sense of emptiness? Because your baby can fill that loss for you."

I found a new hairdresser after that.

TL;DR: hairdresser kept telling me I would be empty without kids so I filled that loss with wine, cigarettes, and sushi in front of her just so she's stop being so concerned.

There's an early episode of Grey's Anatomy where Izzy is upset that Karev didn't kiss her at the end of her date, and her specific complaint is that she spent time shaving her legs. That's what OP's story distinctly reminds me of.

Real thing that happened: :byodame: "my hairdresser just got pregnant and, as a hairdresser you're familiar with does, talks to me about her life (hence her pregnancy). I spent the next 3 hours chatting friendly with her while, in my head, fuming, came up with different things I *could* do to punish this baby-haver and about how I'm going to post on the internet about them. At the end of the appointment I smiled and thanked her. Then I went home to post on childfree!"

Tony

quote:

This Troper went to see an amateur performance of West Side Story at her local theatre with her family. It had just gotten to the scene where Tony gets shot in the back as he's running into Maria's arms. It's supposed to be a highly moving moment. However someone in the cast had thought it'd be a good idea to use a real gun (filled with blanks, obviously) or at the very least a very realistic fake one. The noise of the discharge was so loud that half the cinema jumped out of their seats and burst out laughing when we were supposed to be in cascades of tears.

Pokemon

quote:

[[Ronfar This troper's]] high school has an event called "Class Night" in which some of the graduating seniors put on sketches for the rest of the graduating class to watch. Being one of the more "well-known" students in his high school, he ended up being in many of the sketches. As usual, this kind of thing is filled with in-jokes that are only funny to people who know what's going on, but here are some highlights anyway:
For the opening sketch, everyone dressed up in their cap and gowns, while the class valedictorian got up to give a very, very, very, very, long speech. After she begins her speech, the students say a few words in the style of an interior monologue. My quote was "To think I'm missing Pokemon for this!" (This was back in 2000, and I was the first person in my school to have even heard of Pokemon and bring it to everyone's attention.)
Between sketches, when we needed to change the scenery on the stage, we would close the curtain and have me walk slowly from one side of the stage to the other, while reading a book. This was funny because this troper was never seen in public without a book in his hand, and would even walk through crowded school hallways while reading.

Leg

quote:

This troper was in a production of The Pirates of Penzance in high school. Our master carpenter, while not much of a singer, was a student with a prosthetic leg from a childhood accident. Our director agreed to let him join the chorus for the opening scene upon the revelation that this student had made himself a genuine wooden leg that he could actually wear! Crowning Momentof Funny for the show, and a CMOA for the student.

Song

quote:

This Troper vividly remembers one of the shining moments of middle school. It was after lunch, and she as walking with a rather melancholy friend. In an attempt to cheer her buddy up, she began singing "I Believe I Can Fly" by R.Kelly. Surrounding students caught on and before the second verse, the entire hallway was singing it, in perfect unison. They didn't sing the entire song but, drat...

There was that one time a bunch of people crossed the street into Central Park because something came up. Most of these "dearths of 20-somethings" are just two or three small groups of friends hanging out.

This is something I recorded the other day at the park in my city, while biking.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/e61rqtskq960h09/VID-20160721-WA0001.mp4?dl=0

There are at least three places in my city, that I've seen, that have this amount of people since the release of the game.
Fun fact, a girl on a small motorcycle got a ticket on this park for driving her motorcycle while trying to catch a Pokémon (as it counts for texting and driving). I hope the Pokémon was worth the €160.

I'm just disappointed the game seems to be about going to a place, stand still, and look at your phone. It'd be nicer if Pokémon were everywhere, randomly. Like in the game.

I am working the ovens at a pizza chain that offers both carryout and delivery.

Customer # 1 comes in to pick up his order. He has long dyed blond hair. Our Till worker informs him that his first pizza is ready and his second one will be out in about 30 seconds.

Customer # 1: “Why is the second pizza not ready with the first. “

Till: “I took a little more time to make the second one so it went in the oven a little while after the first”.

Customer # 1 “that’s not how it works”

Manager steps in. “Im sorry for the delay sir, but the first pizza was a simple cheese and the second was a works pizza. IT takes a little more time to put all the topping on your pizza.”

Customer # 1 (getting very nasty) “Have you even taken a Customer Service course before. “ Manager “yes”

Customer # 1 “I demand to see the certificate right now”

Manager “I cant do that, I need to make other peoples orders now”

Customer # 1 “What is your name”

Manager “*****. Sir, you have your order, please leave, I have a store to run”.

Customer # 1, rants for a little while, then leaves.

Customer # 2 who witnessed everything and has already paid for his order takes out $20 and hands it to my manager. “You souldnt have to deal with assholes like him.”

Manager “Thank you, but I can’t take that” and hand it back. He then put in on the counter and leaves the store.

She then makes change for it and gives me, the till and another worker $5 and keeps the last part.

They then tell me this isn’t the first time he has made a scene.

About half an hour later the phone rings and I Answer.

Me: “thank you for calling ****, this is ****, How may I help you”

Customer # 1 (Very nice) “who is the manager right now”

ME: “***”

Customer # 1 “May I speak with her”

Me” May I ask with this is regarding”

Customer # 1 “This is **** and I want to talk to her about the incident that happened about 30 mins ago”

Me “ok please hold”

Customer # 1” Ok”

I told my manger it was the guy, and he wanted to talk to her. I also told her I was going to listen in to the line because of him being a trouble making customer.

Manager “Thank you for holding, this is ***, how may I help you”.

Customer # 1 (very nasty and he doesn’t know im listening) “HI, I was in earlier and I want to know the names of the store manager, and his manger, and I want their phone numbers. “ Manger “ I can give you their name, but I cant give out their numbers.”

Customer # 1 “Your telling me you cant call your manager if there is a problem.”

Manager “no, I just cant give you their numbers.”

Customer # 1 “When will the store manager be in so I can call and talk to him.”

Manger “He is opening in the morning.”

Customer # 1 “I will be calling him. And let me tell you what you did wrong. You Saw my hair and assumed I was uneducated. I have a masters degree and am a regional manager for an aeronautics cooperation. I am educated and I assure you I am Smarter then you.”

Manager “Sir, if you don’t have anything important to tell me now, I need to get back to running my store.”

Customer # 1 “Assure your boss that I will be calling him.” Hangs up We check over his account and see he got free food about 3 months ago, we think he complains until we give him his food for free. We told out boss about the incident and noted how he talked to me verses my manager, probably to make me think he was level headed and she was being rude to her, but he didn’t know I was listening in on them. We haven’t heard from him again.

This is believable, just not really a Crowning Moment of Anything.

Back in high school we did Romeo & Juliet set in the 1960s in some weird meta-play that probably nobody gives a poo poo to hear about. We had a Bruni Olympic 6, a .22 Acorn blank gun, that would be used by Romeo to shoot Tybalt. The director wanted to acclimate everyone to the noise, so she sat the whole cast down and then just had them do the shooting with no warning on stage. There was a lot of screaming.
