buying ppl things is SUCH a rush.. even if it’s just like.. a bag of their favorite chips or whatever.. the thought of someone experincing even a split-second burst of happiness bc they didn’t expect to get some of their favorite chips that day? what a thrill! love it
Today my professor told me every cell in our entire body is destroyed and replaced every seven years. How comforting it is to know that one day I will have a body that you will have never touched.
This just made me feel so warm.
thank you.
Important especially for victims of abuse, remember your body is yours and it heals in more ways than you realize.
Okay, so I just want to say that this isn’t necessarily true. Most of your cells have died and regrown several times in seven years, but some haven’t, and some have died and won’t return. The seven year cell renewal is a myth perpetuated by popsci in magazines everywhere.
That being said, anywhere they may have touched you, your skin, your hair, your nails and so on, was changing the moment they departed your life, even before that. Your skin became skin they’ve never touched within 27 days. Your hair grows (on average) six inches per year, so depending on how long yours is, you were rid of their touch there within a few years tops. Your nails will completely regrow within six months tops. You were a body they never touched within three or four years. You will be a body they never touched within three or four years.
You have been rewriting your body, you are your own, you are constantly changing, and you are the only one who owns your body 100% of the time.
I can imagine the phrase ‘BUT THEY DON’T FLY, HOW CAN THEY HAVE WINGS?!’ being used at least twice
It was worse
Can you please explain in detail how it was worse
Customer: what kind of chicken do you use for your fried chicken wings?
Me: im unsure of the brand, but i can check
Customer: no, what part of the chicken is it?
Me: im sorry?
Customer: like what is it made out of?
Me: they are chicken wings.
Customer: i dont think you understand my question. Is it chicken thigh, or chicken breast?
Me: it is made with chicken wings.
Customer: okay, you arent hearing me. Chicken is sold in different parts. What oart are you selling?
Me: chicken wings. The dish is fried chicken wings. Are you perhaps asking if they are boneless? They arent. They are actual bone in wings.
Customer: Im asking what *type* of chicken it is. You are making this way more difficult than it has to be.
Me: here, our menu has a picture of the dish. These are the chicken wings available today.
Customer: how can i tell what kind of chicken it is if it is covered in brown crunchies?
Me: brown…crunchies? These are certainly chicken wings. You can see the bone here.
Customer: can i speak to the manager? You dont know what youre talking about.
Me: actually i am acting manager until we get a new hire.
Customer: all i want to know is what kind of chicken you are serving.
Me: fried chicken wings.
This went on for 20 whole minutes. She didnt even order the meal.
This is the most frustrating thing I’ve ever read
what the fuck
I’ve had to explain to too many people that there is no such thing as a “mocha” drink. And at this point I just tilt my head to the twats who say “venti”
Fucking Starbucks ruining coffee.
I had a convo with a 30 something year old customer one morning about black coffee. We were a pub type place so all we had was just brewed coffee. Nothing fancy. This lady and her husband come in and she asks for coffee.
Lady: Do you guys have coffee?
Me: Yes ma’am we do. Is that all you would like?
Woman: Is it cappuccino?
Me: I’m sorry. All we have is regular coffee.
Lady: What do you mean? I want a cappuccino.
Me: I understand. There is a cafe right across the street, though, if you-
Lady: Why can’t you just make me a cappucino? That’s what I came here for!
Me: I’m sorry, but all we have is brewed coffee. The coffee shop just across the street will have-
Lady: So what is that? Like a macchiato type thing?
Me: *a moment of staring blankly at her* No, ma’am. Just regular, black coffee.
Lady: What do you mean black coffee? I want my cappuccino.
Me: It’s coffee. Like from ground coffee beans…and brewed with hot water.
Lady: So what then…is that some kind of frappe?
Me: No ma’am. It’s just regular coffee. Like you make at home, in a coffee pot.
Lady: *rude groaning sound* All I want is a damn cappuccino. Why is that so hard for you to do?
Me: Ma’am. We are unable to make cappuccinos. All we have is just normal coffee. Like…brewed. From coffee grounds. In a pot. Normal black coffee. The kind you put cream and sugar into…?
Lady: I don’t understand. Is it like a damn tea or something?!
Me: *at a loss for words, looking at her husband for help* Um…
Husband: Sweetheart, I think she means all they have is brewed coffee. Like we make at home.
Lady: *takes a good minute to stare at him then at me* Are you freaking kidding me?! What a waste of time! *stomps out*
Me: *to the dude* There’s a little cafe across the street called [coffee shop], they’ll be able to help y’all.
Husband: I’m so sorry.
That’s not even the worst that I’ve come across. It makes me wonder sometimes how people function in society…
The fact that this was the ad DIRECTLY below this post on my dash made my fucking day.
“I consume CP to cope uwu I only make/view CP of fictional minors uwu”
Seriously. If you have sexual thoughts involving minors, see a therapist. Don’t let those thoughts progress into actions. Even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal at first or the porn you’re viewing is 100% fictional, it gradually becomes an addiction and over time you end up needing more. That goes for all porn, but when it comes to pedophilia it can eventually escalate to hurting a real child if it goes unchecked.
Not to get controversial or anything but can we stop with making fun of women being abused by their husbands and playing it off as ‘straight culture’
I lost 10 followers for saying we shouldnt make fun of domestic abuse victims.
can we also please stop making fun of men being abused by their wives thanks
Good addition
Can we also stop acting that domestic abuse is just a “straight” thing?
It’s literally teaching our baby gays that any same sex relationship their going into is safe and they don’t need to be worried about being abused and controlled.
When I was sixteen, my family visited Hawaii, and I had a cute new swimsuit. I was a pretty busty teen, with the vocabulary of an AP English student, and while I was out swimming, a couple of college guys started flirting with me. Nothing gross, just pleasantly casual hey-you-look-great-how-are-you-enjoying-the-beach stuff.
After a minute or two of this, one of them asked if I was there with friends, and I said no, I was with my family. “Wow, you still travel with your family?” one exclaimed. “That’s cool…”
“Well, I am sixteen,” sez me.
Reader, they blanched. They flustered, they apologized, they assured me that they’d thought I was also in college, they wished me a good vacation and they bounced. All within about a minute of realizing they’d been chatting up a minor.
I was mildly mortified at the time, but now? I look back and think, Ah, what good men. What good young men.
Fun fact, this happened to me when I was, I shit you not, twelve years old. I had a comically deep voice for my age and gender, and I was well-spoken, so I regularly got mistaken for an older girl in spite of my babyish face.
Long story short, one fateful day, a university student started talking to me (somewhat flirtatiously) at a Harry Potter meet-up and when he asked what university I was going to to I had to explain that I was, in fact, in the sixth grade. Both of our souls left our bodies. He was great about it though, he asked me about my classes and if I was ready for high school and shit, and I got to ask him about college which was cool cause I didn’t get to interact with many college students!
It’s not a crime to misjudge a person’s age, it happens all the time. It IS a crime to willfully ignore someone’s age and sexually harass them!
While you’re doing your holiday shopping this weekend, might I suggest my book, which makes a great gift??? It includes hilarious comics like this one, featuring my mother in an outfit she’d never be caught dead in IRL. Get it superchillbook.com!
