"Are the Jalapeño poppers spicy?" is such a reasonable question too. There could be other spices or something. The author is the bitchiest, fictional server.

This is true but the story is also STDH Also, I might be wrong, but isn't gluten allergy not deadly the way that, say, a peanut allergy could be? I thought it was more along the lines of lactose intolerance where you have bad problems but you're not gonna need an epi-pen or something for it.

Even if you just make them sick, they can cause no small amount of problem, and it's not the service staff's place to decide whether someone's ailments are bullshit or not. But yeah the story didn't happen.

corn in the bible posted:this is incredibly stupid, and also they make gluten-free bread Which is dry and crumbly and generally sucks. Being married to someone with Celiac means never having to say "I'd like a large pizza" ever again. The reaction to gluten is harsh. Within a few minutes, it's violent diarrhea followed by hours of agonizing cramps. All over enough gluten to fill this O.

Stairs posted:Today I went to PetSmart with my 16 year old daughter, who was wearing an Adventure Time shirt. The cashier was a teenager and very adorable and also very friendly with her and complimented her shirt, which of course caused my very lesbian daughter to initiate a conversation with her. Then the cashier said "If you like Adventure Time then you must know what this is" and pulled up her u inform shirt to reveal a black shirt with a funny icon on it. My daughter said "Is that a Sagittarius symbol?" much to the cashier's chagrin. Then I made a mistake...

"My very lesbian daughter" gives this one away. "Hey everyone, this is my very lesbian daughter!" She'd be 19. Also what probably happened was girl at counter was wearing a t-shirt that the writer insisted was homestuck related until new customer approached check out whilst daughter distances herself from embarrassing situation.

Facepalm Ranger posted:Also 35 year old with a 16 year old daughter? She would have had to been 15 when she gave birth meaning she got knocked up at the earliest at 14. Which isn't entirely unbelievable but just seems odd.. 35 - 16 is 19, not 15.

That tale of cashier fuckery is pretty good but again all the cues eg: insert [company] name here, smug/calm/collected/robotic almost writer. Horrible explosion with no reaction from writer. What is wrong with these people's lives that they have to fabricate these stories. I think I might try my hand at writing a believable STDH after reading so many here.

Also if she actually did know about oil, she would be saying "you don't want 50w10, you want 40w10" (for example). If you only talk about the cold weight, you're only talking about 10% of it's usefulness, and in LA where there's not really a cold season, the cold viscosity would be less useful than the hot viscosity. But I'm sure the customer picked up the big 1L bottle with the long neck that said "Transmission Fluid" in big letters and not the 1-5L fat, stubby, bottle that said "Engine Oil" in big letters.

In the US they're quart bottles (or 5qt jugs) that are identical except for the labels. Sometimes the transmission fluid bottles are red, but not always.

Man, I should adapt a 'poo poo that did happen' into a 'poo poo that didn't...'. That oil story reminded me of when I was working in the Zellers (it was like Target but Canadian) restaurant, some old guy in a motorized wheelchair fell over, spilling all of his food. I left the cash register, helped him up, made sure he was ok, and went back to the register. A woman who was waiting there, as I was ringing her up, said to me 'if you were my employee, I would have fired you.' I guess she had been waiting for a bit? In fairytale land, I would immediately have a brilliant and mentally disarming reply that not only puts her in her place, but causes her to rethink her entire life. In reality, my face turned red, I stayed silent and got mad about it later.

Oh here: After I returned to the register the woman muttered under her breath "If you were my employee I would have fired you". I quipped back, "ma'am I'm sorry but that customer needed my assistance and it was very important I help him" Customer: "oh yeah why so important?" The customer didn't notice but the older gentleman had wheeled to our conversation and told her "because I OWN this She left fuming, everyone in the store applauded, and I hosed the old man for an hour.

Haha, those are wonderful. Seriously though, when the guy fell over, there was a HUGE crash, food everywhere, and the guy was shaken and upset. Being someone who cared about customers, I and my coworkers rushed over to help the dude. Why/how could I get fired for that? Me: (super calm, like you don't even know) Madame, I'm simply doing my duty and helping an unfortunate customer. Did you walk to the register? Did you eat your breakfast this morning without issue? Do you ever need to rely on someone else to do basic things? Her: (quite obviously taken aback) I... Uhhh... Wha... Me: (still calm like a motherfucker) I can tell from your lack of response that you didn't do or need any of those things, hmm? I suggest that either you leave now, or publicly apologise to me right now. Her: I'm so sorry, you're absolutely right. Please take my hand in marriage. All the other customers and coworkers stood up and applauded (even the guy in the wheelchair got up, which was awesome) She and I have sex now, like all the time. Her legs get tired afterwards and she can't walk for a while, and we both joke about the irony in that. High fives all around!

This is at the top of /r/Seduction along with "How to be less of a 'nice guy'" today. NSFW text near the end.quote:HELLO Reddit do I have a loving story for you guys. Let me back up to the first meeting so I can clear things up for you guys. I live in the on 42nd street. Here is what the entrance of the building I live in looks like: two doors. One from outside to inside and another from inside to elevator room. The ladies walked as I was right behind them and they were talking and walking slow. As they approached the door they were about 2 feet away from it I was about 1 foot away from it ( I take big steps) I said " let me get that for you " and grab the door and held it open for them. D - first letter of her name- responds with a wow what a gentleman thank you! And her friend A, responds with a who knew they still exist. D is Colombian and Italian.. A is pure Colombian. Both are equally hot ( which is where I had a problem that I'll explain in a bit. Now we are where the elevators are and I responded to their gentleman crap with a " it's a lucky night for you then " and D laughs and asks if I live in this building since she's never seen me before. I respond with I just moved here but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing you more often. She giggles ( notice how I'm not giving A attention it was an accident, I forgot that there were two hot Girls ) we talk for about 30 more seconds I get both names and ages and apt# D realized im on floor 55 she's on 58 and offers me up for a loving drink. This is where my story ended on the previous post. I accept her offer and tell her I'll be up in a bit. I just got out the gym I gotta poo poo shower shave....
