Well I mean there's some serious comedy logic in that math. Doing your hair and nails sure. But you can't ding the full cost of the dress/shoes/bag/loving jewelry every single event lol.


That's like a tradesman factoring the cost of a pair a workboots every single day as expenses.

Are you joking? For one, you definitely deserve to know the sexuality of the person you're dating, and for another you can't compare what you deserve to know about someone when it comes to being in a relationship with them vs not.

Wasn't there a story in the old thread where the OP had a trans friend, and insisted on "revealing the truth" to the friend's boyfriend because they were sure the trans person was keeping it a secret? But it turned out to be not a surprise to the bf and they both thought the OP was just a creeper. I assumed this was a reference to that kind of busybody.

True story, when Spike Lee's Jungle Fever came out, I heard a conversation (within my family) about how it's weird they cast an Italian woman instead of a white woman, because now the underlying premise didn't make sense. So... yeah, that's small-town (Scandinavian heritage) America for ya.

The mayo pepper thing sounds like they heard about a jalapeño popper or a chile relleno and decided to use what they had?

The “you don’t respect her culture” thing makes me think that either a) the boyfriend isn’t white or b) he is, but the girlfriend’s family is extremely sectarian and racist and draws a hard line between separate cultures within white America—I mean I’m assuming they’re American because of the mayo and butter, there’s nothing in the post that actually specifies a country

Or it would be funny if it actually was chile rellenos, and he is just so sheltered and weird that he saw gooey white stuff in peppers and assumed it was mayo. This is what I will choose to believe unless/until proven otherwise.

(Eating butter straight is still gross, and I say that as someone who has eaten Nutella with a spoon.)

Yeah it doesn't seem like one of those things where she needs to keep them happy to stay in the will. They expected their estranged daughter to feed, clothe, and home the person who tormented her for being gay just like that. She's absolutely going to get harassed to babysit, run errands, help out in all the ways etc. All the family members telling her "be the bigger person" are just desperately hoping they don't get asked next.

If anything I'd 100% expect the OP to end up having the 'conversation' with the parents where they tell her they're removing her from the will because the younger daughter just needs it more.

Yeah the whole "we will give money to my parents but not my sister" part is just ignoring the fact that the parents will turn right around and give it to the sister anyway.

No, you don't understand. When someone borrows money from me, of course I have to protect myself with a legally binding repayment contract. But when I need money and can't get a bank loan, they should just trust me! After all they have plenty of liquid cash so they can afford be careless with it.

It's petty as hell but I'd be tempted to go in the next day and report her for threatening department productivity in an attempt to coerce me into doing her job for her.
That is pretty much textbook retaliation though - she's new and just learned the rules, so she reports infractions like she was instructed. Then she's told to stop, by someone who doesnt have the authority to make that decision, and then OP starts refusing to work with her as previously agreed. If the rules are petty and shouldn't be reported, it's up to the boss to make that clear to everyone.

I've never hired a stripper, so I don't know how this works but don't they have, like, some kind of check-in with the client to make sure they're cool with it before they start giving them a lap dance?

It seems like doing otherwise would escalate to criminal activity pretty loving fast in addition to being, you know, a real poo poo thing to do to someone.

I dunno about all strippers, but my sister's bachelorette party stripper had the same lack of boundaries described here. She was 100% not into it but he had no qualms about literally holding her down and grinding his crotch in her face. The photos of her unutterably bored expression framed by his sparkly g-string (and surrounded by hooting drunken "friends") had pride of place in her wedding album.

To be fair though I have no idea if he was a professional stripper. He might have just been some dude they hired off his barstool in the local convenience/bait/liquor store.

There used to be a McDonalds in town where at the entrance they had one of those height strips to help ID thieves, I guess that's what they're for. Anyway the person who'd put it up was clearly someone who insisted they were six feet when they were actually more like 5'6", and I recall my dad (who's maybe just a hair over 6') once noticing this and laughing that according to this strip he was 6'7".

I'm 5'5 1/2" almost exactly (which seems like a nice height to be), and periodically I get "that can't be right, I'm 5'6" and you're a couple inches taller than me" but no, honestly, I haven't grown at all since I was fifteen and the tape measure still says that I'm 5'5 1/2", but sure buddy, you're 5'6".

Those measuring guides are supposed to be a little offset if the security camera is above it angled down, iirc. But yeah, more likely someone just stuck it up any which way it fit.

Lines like this one about the pigs never make sense to me because no, they’re not pigs, they’re perfectly “respectable” members of society. The metaphor is supposed to put them lower than you, but the reality is that they’re not.

The "pigs" in this metaphor are the people who read the interview and then started trying to hold the bully teacher accountable for her past actions. The ESH poster is calling the OP a mudslinger who is encouraging the public to disrespect the "respectable" authority figure. In her world, anyone who ignores "decorum" is a pig.

A few people advised her to buy a glitter bomb or report the theft to the post office, since the HOA won't do anything


True, although there are services that let you send someone a package of gorilla poo. Plus she'd technically be the recipient of the pads, not the sender, and she's not actually using the post office because she's delivering the packages herself. And since there's no camera pointed at the mailboxes themselves, there's no evidence that she would be the one to put it in her own mailbox as bait. Also, complaining to the post office about the OP's biohazard packages would be telling on himself.

Except the part where she posted on the internet that she's going to put some biohazard material in a place where she knows he's going to end up with it. It's like the people who put laxatives in their lunch to foil lunch thieves and get in trouble. Which, granted, none of it would be a problem if people just didn't steal poo poo all the time.
