They intruded into a woman's off-work hours and she had a hobby item in the background that is about as revealing as walking through the clothing section of a department store. This lady might consider going to HR before this pantywaist does

sephiRoth IRA posted:Tracks with him having lustful thoughts about a mannequin with a bra on No, you see, the bra was her bra which she had stuffed, which meant he had no choice but to think about his colleague's giant hooters. Isn't there a passage in the bible where some guy is like "I'm having lustful thoughts because I look at women" and Jesus' advice was to remove his eyes? Anyway, mystery time: quote:So recently I just bought a house and everything seemed fine at first. All until one tuesday I was backing up from my garage when I saw a guy leaning against a Toyota Camry staring my car down. I pull my car out and roll down my window to ask him if he needs anything and he just says"no sir,have a good day." I then asked him politely if he could leave and he didn't respond. He just stared at me for a good 30 seconds. I started to get out of my car and confront him but as soon as he saw me go for the door he got in his car and drove off. UPDATE quote:So about 2 weeks ago I posted in this subreddit about my creepy experiences. basically A man started harrasing me and my pregnant wife at our house. Anyway,one redditor asked about my wife's occupation,and if maybe it can get us some hate. That turned out to be true. My wife is a councilwoman in a really conservative town,and she is the only democrat politician of any kind in the region. I took all of your advice,I bought a total of 18 cameras,bought my wife a handgun,and reported my suspicion to the cops. After analysis of our ring video camera footage of the man,they found him. Apparently he is a member of some alt right group called a groyper? I've never heard of them,but I guess they are very popular in our state. Anyway,thanks to you all me and my wife get to welcome home our baby girl Thursday,with no fear of that creep anymore. God bless you all❣️

Some people took extended WFH to mean that your home is now literally an extension of your office and has to meet the same standards at all times (these people are wrong)

AITA for telling my dad his masculinity is too fragile?quote:So my whole life I've known that my dad was a homophobe. No one else in my immediate family is, and no one really talks about any kind of lbgtq+ topic around him so it doesn't really come up a lot with him. But whenever anything "gay" happens around him he starts on a small rant.

You're likely thinking of Matthew 5: quote:27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell." (He says the same thing in Matthew 18.)

Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for telling my dad his masculinity is too fragile? I know it's been said, but holy poo poo how do they have zero self-awareness about "you shouldn't have said anything because you know how he is" coming out of their mouths. Please mind the missing stair and do not complain about its presence, we've all been doing such a good job of stepping over it all these years. The problem isn't the missing stair, it's your foot plunging through it and then your mouth complaining about it. Like sorry for your loss that you're married to a manchild who is so terrified of the gay agenda that he fears men in multicolored spandex entertaining children? Would also love to know how old the sister that idolizes this dumbass bigot is.

“You Know How They Are” should have been on my family’s crest with the amount of times truly insane behavior was excused with that phrase. My sister once got me fired from Friday’s because she was too drunk to realize she wasn’t being screwed out of $1.99 and I was told that I shouldn’t be upset with her because I know that’s how she is. I was twenty-four and she was thirty-six at the time.

Unrelated to the thread, but related to the Wiggles, did you know that there is/was a HUGE contingent of moms who are horny for the Wiggles? Like the combination of being sexually frustrated from being a SAHM + being forced to watch these dudes jumping around for your toddler's sake resulted in a lot of women having the hots for them. Probably not so much anymore since a bunch of them retired and there's a girl in the group now, but. Here's a very old article. https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/women-go-wild-for-wiggles-20050711-gdlnuk.html I feel like I remember reading something about the popularity being such that they started doing adults-only concerts as well where it was just wall to wall horny moms, but I can't find a citation for that.
