The #YouKnowMe hashtag goes viral as women share openly about abortion. You need to see this.

The war on women has been raging for centuries, with a concentration of misogynist legislation seeing the light of day under Trump. However, unfortunately, the last few weeks have added an extra heap of flaming hot legislative garbage. The states of Georgia, Alabama, Ohio, and now the Missouri Senate have passed laws banning abortion, some going so far as to criminalize mothers who have miscarriages.

These laws have fueled the fires of online debates about reproductive rights, abortion access, and the fact that abortion is in fact a normal medical procedure millions of women have had throughout history, and will continue to have, whether it's legal and safe or not (which is in itself a huge safety concern).

In response, the actress Busy Philipps kicked off the #YouKnowMe abortion hashtag. One of the biggest ways abortion is shamed and stigmatized is through the practice of othering, and the belief that women who have abortions are somehow these different, faraway people, and not friends and family.

Women from across the country have been jumping on the hashtag to share their experiences with abortion, here are 20 of their stories.

Kelly Ripa is feuding with 'The Bachelor' and Ellen Pompeo jumped in. No, this isn't MadLibs.

And now for a feud that sounds like something you and your friends made up while playing MadLibs and drinking rosé:

Kelly Ripa is feuding with The Bachelor franchise, pissed off Chris Harrison, and Ellen Pompeo jumped into her defense!

This is like Avengers: Endgame for ABC properties.

Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. Morning show host and Manic Pixie Dream Weightlifter Kelly Ripa thew shade at the sovereign Bachelor Nation. Ripa's co-host, Ryan Seacrest, announced that the titular Bachelorette, Hannah B., will be appearing on the show, and Ripa confused her for the previous "winner" of The Bachelor, Colton Underwood's girlfriend, Cassie.

"Oh, it's an entirely different person?" she wondered aloud. "You know how I feel about this show," she added. "It disgusts me. I thought that I was disgusted because I couldn't stand the idea of 25 exceptional women fighting over one, ordinary fella, in my opinion. You know how I feel, ladies! We are too special to be arguing over a guy."

The criticism went over as well with The Bachelor head honchos as anything that is said between women on the show.

Host Chris Harrison pumped up the drama with a direct address to "Bachelor Nation."

The shows creator, Mike Fleiss, got defensive on Twitter—the male equivalent of throwing a drink in her face.

Ellen Pompeo, aka Dr. Meredith Grey (on Grey's Anatomy, the only show with as many seasons as The Bachelor) stole Fleiss for a sec, telling him to back off Ripa and stop declaring himself to be the god of ABC, attacking successful women and "[taking] credit for their success."

The "savage" Pompeo also said, "don't get be started on your show," adding "Bachelor soooooo white."

Is this what reality TV is like? I frickin' love it.

After all that online awkwardness, Bachelorette Hannah B. appeared on Ripa's show, and defended her show's gender politics.

Hannah B. said it was "empowering" to be one of 30 girls going for a guy, and then to have the experience in reverse.

"Like you, I didn't really follow the show, wasn't a big fan," she told Ripa. "But, being a part of the show, it's not women fighting against each other. Really, some of my best friends came from the show and were really supportive. When you have a group of 30 people together, there's going to be people who don't like each other. That's simple facts."

"But, ultimately, it was one of the most empowering things that I ever have done because I had to push myself and grow as an individual," she continued. "And I did. And I think that's why I decided that I wanted to be the Bachelorette and wanted that so bad."

Congrats, Hannah B., on achieving your dream!

Teens in hot water after their racist 'promposal' sign went viral.

Welcome to the United States of Amerikkka. In today's way-too-common segment of "white people being racist douchebags," two white students at Palos Verdes High School in Southern California are in hot water after a photo of them holding up a racist "promposal" sign went viral on social media and sparked a huge backlash, NBC reports. The students will face "severe consequences," according to NBC.

It's good to see white people finally facing consequences for being racist—if only it were the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress and not a couple of idiot teens. But, hey, you gotta start somewhere!

The photo, which went viral on Instagram and Twitter earlier this week, shows two teens laughing while holding up a sign which reads: "Bianca, you are racist but I would give anything for you to go with me to prom." Then, lest you had any shred of doubt that these teens are, in fact, racist: six letters in the sign are highlighted to spell out the n-word.

Though it's not yet clear exactly what "consequences" these teens will face, let's hope it is, in fact, "severe" enough to actually teach them a lesson. The principal of Palos Verdes High School, Dr. Allan Tyner, published an open letter on the school's website, which reads:

May 15, 2019

Dear Parents and Community Members,

Today I will be meeting with all students, class by class. We will review appropriate behavior and how the use of hurtful racial slurs like the one used on this recent picture posted on social media is unacceptable. I know that this one unfortunate event does not represent us as a school community.

Racist words and racist acts have no place in our school community.

We will rise above this, learn from this, and be a better school community because of it.


Dr. Allan Tyner
Principal
Palos Verdes High School

He also sent this school-wide email:

Since the photo went viral and made the news, Twitter user and fellow student @Mayamardesich has been posting the responses from the school as well as the teens in the photo. First, the guy in the photo's little sister published this excuse/explanation in defense of her brother, who she claims "didn't know the N word":

And the girl in the photo, according to @Mayamardesich, followed up with an apology-of-sorts, in which she also claims that the guy in the photo, who is rumored to be a foreign exchange student from Switzerland, "is not fluent in English" [eyes roll out of my head].

If you don't already agree this is a load of BS, here's the (alleged) response from the guy in the photo:

I'm not one to support forced deportation (except Melania Trump), but this guy needs to GTFO.

A freshman at Palos Verdes High School, 14-year-old Ava McCoy, told NBC News: "I find the sign highly offensive and extremely hurtful being a person of color. I think this behavior is intolerable and students need to be educated on the subject." Ava, we are with you 100%.

In the past couple weeks laws banning abortion have been signed in Georgia, Alabama, Ohio, and now the Missouri Senate. While these draconian laws are all still technically on the table, (meaning - abortion is still legal in these states at the time of writing), the implications of them are very serious. Criminalizing women for abortion (and in some cases - miscarriages) is nothing short of an infringement on basic human rights, and the legislative threats have inspired women from across the country (and the world) to share their personal stories.

The now viral #YouKnowMe hashtag, started by actress Busy Philipps, serves as a space for women to open up about their abortions, in the process disproving the deeply dangerous stereotypes about who gets abortions, and why abortions happen.

Women should not, under any circumstances, feel pressured or like they have to justify their choices or retraumatize themselves for the sake of a political argument. However, when sharing serves as a moment of catharsis and solidarity, it can be a really beautiful sight to behold.

Here are just 20 of the stories on the #YouKnowMe hashtag, it's more than likely that you are friends, neighbors, or coworkers with women whose stories echo the ones below.

Our readers' 15 best predictions for how 'Game of Thrones' ends. Daenerys morghulis.

$

We asked, you answered.

Because reality is so overwhelmingly bleak and the Game of Thrones finale marks the end of an era, we can't stop thinking about what the final trip to Westeros will bring.

Who will sit on the Iron Throne? Will there even be an Iron Throne? Where the hell does Bran Stark go when people are burning? Just how many hours of our lives have we wasted reading theorizing about The Prince That Was Promised? The final 80 minutes of Game of Thrones has a lot of ground to cover, and we asked you guys, our loyal bannermen, to tell us what you expect to see.

There are some common themes: Daenerys is dead AF, Tywin Lannister might have been right to call Tyrion "no son of mine," and Jon Snow might be destined for the North—the real north.

1. Valar morghulis—and they do.

2. A Girl is Killed By Grey Worm.

3. Grey Worm is Killed By A Girl.

4. Arya vs. Everybody.

5. King Gendry Baratheon, First of His Name.

6. Tyrion is a Targaryen, and takes the throne.

7. Arya takes her horse down the old town road.

8. Jon kills Dany.

9. Jon kills himself.

10. Bran did 9/11.

11. The "Bran is the Night King" theory is undead.

12. May the Force be with us.

13. The twist?..........There is no throne.

These ones are obviously jokes, but they're too funny not to include.

14. Finally, an explanation for Bran's weirdness.

15. One does not simply walk into Westeros.

Tomi Lahren said something right about the Alabama abortion ban and it's breaking everyone's brains.

$
0

It's the end of the world. The Trump administration is beating the war drums in hopes of inciting war with Iran. States are voting on abortion bans, knowing that Justice Popped Collar Creeper has their back against Roe v. Wade. And most startlingly, the sentient hangnail known as Tomi Lahren is correct about something.

TaunTaun Lehmen, who makes her living shouting conservative dogma, has a hot take about Alabama's abortion ban and folks.... it's good.

The anti-Black Lives Matter activists has called the ban "too restrictive," accurately pointing out that it won't actually stop the practice of abortion but rather put women's lives at risk by forcing them "into more dangerous methods."

~Freedom~, which conservatives hold so dear, isn't the government telling you want to do with your own body. Freedom is about choice, which is.........pro-choice.

Anti-choice policies aren't "small government," even if they make the government small enough to fit into a woman's uterus.

This earth-shattering development prompted some hilarious replies.

Tommen's take is prompting an interesting discussion—either abortion is murder, or it's not (it's not murder).

She also could be lying to get articles like this written up.

Being gracious about this one thing doesn't excuse the fact that her whole career is stoking up racist hatred, but wow: even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Still, congratulations, Alabama GOP...you broke Barbie.

Woman's story of psycho ex who tried to 'trap her' with a baby shows why women must have the right to choose.

$

Women across the country are sharing their stories in response to the recent legislation in states of Georgia, Alabama, Ohio, and now the Missouri Senate banning abortion. Many of them are opening up in hopes of enlightening people about how common and necessary the procedure is. While others are sharing in hopes of making other women feel less alone, particularly those currently living in the states seeking to criminalize abortion.

One woman, the Twitter user Brie, shared a personal story about an abusive ex boyfriend who poked a whole in a condom in order to "trap her" in the relationship.

During their second time having sex he poked a hole in the condom when she wasn't looking, when she bought a home pregnancy test and saw the results, he got excited and admitted it was on purpose.

When Brie's friend took her to a women's clinic to confirm the pregnancy, they accidentally stumbled upon one of the many Christian centers posing as a women's health clinic. Rather than receiving comprehensive medical care, Brie was given a lecture about how abortion was murder, and would land her in hell.

Since she was a minor, she was forced to go in front of a judge in order to receive rights to go through with an abortion.

When she was granted rights to her own abortion, the procedure itself only took a few minutes, roughly five minutes to remove the embryo. However, the process of going to court and getting lectured at a "women's clinic" was much more traumatic.

The manipulative boyfriend pulled a knife on her when she initiated a breakup, and proceeded to stalk her for a decade after she dumped him. The only thing that stopped him from staying on her trail was a full-on arrest from the police.

She went on to share that she fully believes if she had given birth, he would have had more legal leeway to trap her in his life, and eventually she believes that would have led to him killing both her and the child.

Brie revealed that this was the first time she's shared her story publicly, and while it's terrifying to open herself up like this, it's worth it if it makes one woman or girl feel less alone in their situation.

Other people jumped onto the thread to commend Brie's openness and share similar stories of their own.

A few people also gave shout outs to Brie's ride-or-die friend, who drove her to the appointments and remained a rock.

Women should never feel like they have to air out their personal stories for the sake of humanizing a decision. But I do hope that as more women open up, more people listen, and others feel less alone.

Guy learns the hard way to be careful who you drunkenly hook up with at a family wedding.

No one is perfect and we all make mistakes. And quite often, these mistakes involve the notoriously problem-causing combination of alcohol and sex (that combo is probably why a lot of us even exist). But no matter how embarrassing or horrifying your drunken mistakes have been, you can pat yourself on the back knowing you didn't mess up as badly as this guy (and gal) who had an extremely rude awakening after a drunken night at a wedding—a family wedding, if that's any indication of how bad this mistake was.

Teen Reddit user seasickjellyfish shared this story to the sub-Reddit "TIFU" (Today I F*cked Up) where it went viral. And that's how we know it's a doozy.

It all begins at his uncle's wedding, about 18-20 months ago (you, too, would be blurry on the details if you were him—some memories remain hazy for a reason):

So this happened about 18 months ago, or somewhere in the vicinity of 18-20 months. I still get flak from this from both family and friends.

So, the setting: my uncle’s wedding. It’s around Autumn and my uncle by my mothers side, from an exceptionally large family (this is relevant), is getting married for the second time. Now my family is very large. My mother has 3 brothers and 5 sisters. All with children of their own, and some even with children of their own now.

The wedding isn’t what I would describe as large, pretty much encompassing just family and close friends. All in all, there can’t have been more than 50 or 60 people there, and around 60% (at a rough estimate) or so are related by blood to me. They make up the majority is what I’m trying to say, and many are spread over whom I have only briefly met, or in some cases, never met. Well, you can see where this is going.

For reference, I would be around mid 17 in this story, with the age of consent in my country (UK) being 16. The girl, who we shall call Isla, was 22 or 23.

Well, at the reception, I am having a good time with my sister, parents and cousins. Dancing, heavily indulging in drinking etc. Just generally enjoying myself as it is rare for large family gatherings for us for obvious reasons.

A girl I don’t recognise begins to dance with me on the (very crowded) dance-floor. She’s older than me clearly, but I thought maybe 19 or 20. Anyway, we start dancing, touching etc. She twerks on me a little, I grind a bit and I presume nobody noticed due to accumulated intoxication and crowdedness around where we were. One things leads to another, we start kissing and she asks me if I want to go ‘upstairs’, which I correctly take to mean her room in the hotel (it was a hotel wedding).

You don't have to be a mind-reader or a psychic to predict what happened next. He continues:

I, of course, being a hormonal teenage boy (still am), jump at the opportunity and say yes. I should say this wasn’t my first time or anything and by this point I carried condoms around in my wallet when I went out and knew I would be drinking.

So we proceed to discreetly (or so I think) take our leave. Both drunk, obviously, but not to the point of not being in control of our actions, or stumbling around/blackout etc. I get to her room, a bit of excited talk, and clothes come off. All is going well. Now, I should say that all this time I’m assuming this girl is a relative (or perhaps friend?) of the bride. Oh boy. I was in for a shock. Because, as it turns out, she thought the same of me.

As we were ‘cleaning up’, so to speak, we begin a little small-talk when before had mostly just been purely sexual. She eventually asks how I know the bride (let us call her Emma). I stop. Thunderstruck. The realisation slowly creeping up on me and oh, the horror. I laugh it off (hoping, in vain) she is joking and state I am the son of (insert mothers name). The shock is palpable on who I then realised as my cousins face as she was putting her bra back on. She sort of freaks out and says she’s the estranged daughter of one of my uncles who’s had a troubled life, whom she had very recently reconnected with (I did not know this). We essentially collectively let out a ‘fuckkkkk’.

AGHGKEHRLKLKDJQL@KDJL@KJELK#@HEgfhfg <---how I would respond if I just learned I accidentally boinked one of my family members. Yes, I said boinked. That's how upsetting this story is.

But at least no one ever found out about what happened between them.....SIKE. The story somehow gets even worse:

From there we got dressed quickly and decided to never reveal this major cock-up to a soul and hope to God we had not been noticed (alas). We decided it would be best if she were to leave first, and that I would follow around 5-10 minutes later.

Well I do. She leaves first, and I just kind of stand around in the hallway on my phone freaking out for a short while until I decide enough time has passed to erode suspicion.

Well, first thing I see when I get down is the look of pure disappointment on my mothers face, the stupid fucking grin on my fathers and half my cousins faces and my sister looking in disgust, as though she was watching a particularly repulsive sea-slug. One of my cousins whom I am close to pats me on the back, shaking his head and laughing his absolute head off. I know I am defeated then and quietly take a seat expecting the utter bollocking I will later receive from my family. My elderly 90 year old grandmother was there for fucks sake. And word was not quiet. I didn’t see Isla or her father again that reception and later found out she told him and he took her home, not to the hotel she had booked, by way of taxi.

So yeah. I accidentally took part in (protected, thank-God) incest. It is brought up at every, and I mean every, family-gathering. A couple of my cousins have taken to playing ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ and asking when the next date is whenever I enter the room.

After (soberly) explaining to my parents it was an accident and I fully believed she was not a relative (like they should have questioned it) they were okay-ish with it, but still disappointed and annoyed a little. My father asked me how I’d failed to notice Isla (apparently) sat literally the row behind us, and I had no answer. Gotta work on my observation skills I guess. Not only do my family still tease me, but my friends found out from my sister within days and I’ve been relentlessly teased by them at most social gatherings since. You can imagine how many cousin/incest/alabama jokes daily.

I am ashamed to this day. Even more so because she is an objectively attractive woman. As one might imagine, the limited interactions we’ve had since have been extremely strained and awkward, not helped by my dickhead cousins. There is another big family wedding coming up this summer, and since the announcement ‘the incident’ as it’s come to be known as has been all that’s been discussed within my hearing.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed that rollercoaster. If you have any questions feel free, and once again, do forgive the surely egregious formatting as I am just popping my Reddit virginity with this story, which I’ve been encouraged to (anonymously) post online by friends so as to make you all laugh as much as them.

TL;DR I had sex with my uncles estranged daughter at a family wedding my first time meeting her. Everybody in the (large family) knew then, and now, and will never let me live this down.

And the moral of this horror story is: Always, always, always take a 23 And Me test before hooking up with someone you met at a family wedding, or a non-family wedding—or, just to be safe, anywhere. You know what, actually? Never sleep with someone again. Just to be safe.

The 13 best pro-choice clapbacks in internet history to use on your 'pro-life' uncle.

It's a day that ends in Y, which means that it is time for women to bare their souls and recount their traumas in order to convince legislators that they have rights and feelings. The abortion bans being signed across America threaten to put women in danger, and people are speaking up against a nationwide return to the Dark Ages.

A clapback against these so-called "pro-lifers" is as easy as bringing scientific facts into the conversation, and these responses are among the only good things the internet has to offer.

1. Florida Man Has It Backwards.

2. Google health before you wreck their health.

3. What stage of capitalism is this?

4. "Let the woman decide" sure sounds like pro-choice.

5. This is pretty pleasing, with a cherry on top.

6. Bible burn.

7. You go, Ben.

8. No embryo nudes on my timeline, thanks.

9. Guns have more rights than women.

10.​​​​​​ I'll have rights when I'm dead.

11. Embryos in wombs have rights, but not kids in cages?

20 service workers reveal their worst customers of all time. The food scale is for FOOD.

The customer is always right, except when they're certifiably bonkers. Anyone who has served time in customer service is aware of just how many people lash out when a transaction doesn't go their way. While most of the times interactions with entitled customers are both exhausting and predictable, there are some people whose unjustified anger is so absurd it's funny again.

To this very point, in a recent Reddit thread, people shared the most bizarre reasons customers lost their mind, and it proves once and for all, that the customer is not to be trusted.

1. here4thesportsstuff was yelled at by a man who wanted to weigh himself on a food scale.

"Had an older gentleman order a food scale that was like a 10lb capacity. The platform was a few inches wide. He received it and called me yelling "how the hell am I supposed to stand on this thing?". We are a redistributor and he was also upset that we sold a product with someone else's instructions and name on it."

2. Pulsecode9 had a customer run upstairs to complain about going upstairs.

"I had a customer storm upstairs to customer services to make a complaint, because we'd moved menswear upstairs, and he couldn't get upstairs because of his knees. So he went upstairs."

"About all I could do was call the support desk and apologize for what they were about to receive. Edit - we had an elevator, but he was also claustrophobic, apparently."

3. casual_Fridayz got yelled at because a woman needed organic pears for her bird.

"My first job was in the produce department of a local grocery store. One morning, a middle aged woman came in and asked me if we have any organic pears in the back room because the ones up front didn't look great. I explained to her we would be getting our shipment in the following morning and she could come back then to pick some organic ones up, or we have regular pears available in the next row.

She did not like this."

"Aside from getting yelled at, she requested to speak with my manager who also had to get an earful of complaints. This isnt anything super out of the ordinary and I was kind of used to the occasional upset customer..... What killed me though is as she is about to walk away, she turns and says "I'll be back tomorrow to get the pears, I dont know what my bird is going to eat today though. He has to eat organic."

TLDR: person makes massive scene in store because her bird ONLY eats organic pears (and perfect ones at that)."

4. Skullboyproduction got yelled at for saying "have a nice day."

"After I handed him his coffee, instead of saying “thank you” to him, l told him to “have a nice day”.

He sent an email to corporate and my manager telling them I was “rude” to him because I didn’t follow a “company standard”.

5. SoukeyeRoss got yelled at for knowing their own accent.

"They noticed I had an accent (I'm from southern virginia and north carolina area) and pointed it out as 'Russian' i don't know how they possibly thought my accent was russian but I corrected them and they got angry that I was being 'condescending' to them."

6. Teratots got screamed at for having hand sanitizer at the counter.

"A customer came in to buy hand sanitizer, she brought her bottle to the register to purchase it, saw there was some at the register, then proceeded to share her vast knowledge of swear words with great vigor with me, swearing she would never shop with us again.

What."

7. fuqmook got lampooned for not knowing "the regular" order.

"I was working at a coffee and wine bar when I had a man scream at me because he ordered "the Regular" and I didn't know what he wanted."

"It was my first time meeting him which, catastrophically, aligned with the first time I was left to take care of the register alone. I couldn't get away from the yelling ("Where the hell do you think you're going?!") in order to ask the people in the back what he wanted."

"His "Regular" got written out, laminated, and pinned to the cash register after that. He kept screaming, "Do you know who I am" over and over, which - no sir, I do not know who you are. This is the first time we met. Also it turns out he was no one but a dick."

"EDIT: Don't remember all the particulars of his "Regular" but I do remember it was an espresso drink where he wanted you to put brown sugar in the milk before you steamed it, then add some boiling water to the top after it was all put together. There was probably another incantation involved but it's been a while."

"EDIT 2: Also, I don't really blame the owner. It was a new family owned business (not a Starbucks) that she really wanted to have as a hangout for locals. She was worried about rocking the boat banning people. We only banned two people in my two years of working there and that was fun."

8. malman21 got yelled at by a woman who didn't believe she was the boss.

"Lady walked into my office, asking for one of my colleagues. I explained to her that he actually works out of a different office, which is listed in his e-mail signature and our website. She was upset, as she had documents to drop off to him. I explained to her that his office is only 3 minutes down the street if she wanted to make the drive, or I could scan her documents and e-mail them to him."

"She refused. So I said, well, you can leave them here with me and I can ask the guy to come pick them up tomorrow. She again said no, because she didn't trust me. I explained that I am the director of operations for the company, basically my colleague's boss. She then yells that she doesn't know me and this is extremely sensitive information and storms out. 1 minute later, she comes in and asks for my business card to prove I am who I say I am, lol. I give her one, and she leaves her stuff with me and storms off again. "

9. I_A_User was beefed with over cheese.

"I think I've told this story once in a post somewhere else, probably with one of my old accounts."

"I used to work deli for a New England grocery chain, working in Vermont. Working in one of the bigger stores meant that we would often be loaned out during ski season to small stores with "big" holiday booms (it was very busy for them, about normal for my store)."

"I was slicing cheese for a woman, who got real angry that I hadn't stacked her cheese perfectly straight, which blew my mind. Who expects deli sliced cheese to be stacked perfectly?"

"The story has a happy ending though. Her exact, indignant words were "where I'm from in New York they stack the cheese perfectly straight." And the guy behind her, a regular the local employees had greeted by name, piped up and said "well then maybe you should go the fuck back to New York." Best moment I've ever had a work."

10. gigabytestarship got screamed at for saying "no problem."

"Got yelled at for saying "no problem" instead of "you're welcome."

11. AdministrativeKing2 got screamed at by a woman who lost her kids.

"A woman I had never met or seen in my life, asked me where her kids were. I was confused and said "I'm sorry, I don't know." And she yelled and asked where they put them. She stormed off angry at me. I never had a clue why she asked me."

12. neutrinoprism got yelled at in a Borders over the Bible.

"We didn't have any bibles that were

  • large print,

  • pocket sized,

  • and contained the full text of the Bible."

"Now, we had large-print bibles and we had pocket-sized bibles, all containing the full text you'd expect. We even had a large-print, pocket-sized "words of Jesus" compendium. But this customer wanted a bible that was all three. All the words, printed larger, yet somehow smaller when it was all put together. I tried to tell her that this was impossible, but she wasn't having it."

"I also had a customer that wanted a Bible that was in English ... but somehow not a translation? He kept saying "the original," he wanted the original Bible. But he didn't want the New Testament Greek one we had. He wanted the original, but in English. Well, every translation in English thinks they're capturing something of the original, I said, they do all this scholarship— I don't care about scholarship, he interrupted me. I just want the original. I ended up leaving him in the King James Version section and said, "Let me know if there's anything else I can do!" while walking away quickly enough to not hear anything back.

All of this was at a regular Borders, by the way, not a Bible store."

13. Fangirl_Sierra had a customer who doesn't know how prices work.

"Worked at Walmart and this guy went through my line buying something for his tires. He accidentally got two different things. One was a lot more expensive than the other. He got pissed (looking at his receipt) and demanded to know why one cost more money. I looked at the products and noticed one had some gel inserted in the product. I told him this and he demanded to know why this made the product more expensive."

"I explained to him I knew nothing about cars and was just a cashier but he could go to customer service to exchange the more expensive product for the cheaper one. He then refused to leave my line until I lowered the price of the more expensive product. BTW I was working the express check out line on Friday at 5:30 and a huge line was forming behind this man child. My manger finally got him to leave the line and go to customer service. Though his son was in line behind him and apologized for his father's actions."

14. Giant_Foamhat got regaled with an angry song.

"I was working at McDonald’s. A customer complained that there was not a tomato on her Big Mac. I explained to her that Big Macs do not come with tomatoes unless special ordered. She then proceeded to sing the Big Mac song to me in front of a lobby full of customers adding the word TOMATO into the song lyrics in an attempt to prove her point."

15. UnanticipatedRacism has dealt with some Walmart characters.

"This lady at Walmart once got really pissed off at me because we didn’t sell pasteurized eggs. And this wasn’t the loud, screaming kind of pissed off. She just looked at me very intensely and spoke at low volume, over-enunciating every syllable, and said “Tell. Your. Managers. To order. Pasteurized. Eggs.”

"This other lady grabbed my arm and started pulling on me telling me that the fact that we shut down our sewing department felt like we had killed her child, and that less and less people were going to come to Walmart because of stuff like that and that we would have to close down."

16. PoseidonLordoftheSea has multiple examples, unfortunately for them.

"I have two examples...

One, I was a teller for almost 4 years when I was in college, and I remember getting yelled at and customers growing angry with ME because they were low on money or had checks bounce or a plethora of other reasons due to them lacking funds. How the Sam Hill is that my fucking fault?"

"Also, in high school I worked at Toys R US for a while and I caught a lady trying to shoplift. She flipped out and started calling me a racist, the GM came over and asked her to empty her bag if there was nothing to be found... sure enough, there was a few pairs of baby shoes from the Baby's R Us side of the store and a small toy. She threw the items on the ground and stormed off and intentionally knocked over one of our kiosk things. We reported it but nothing ever happened to her."

17. letslivemydream got screamed at for not opening the store early simply because the man was there.

"Because I didn't open up shop an hour before opening time. Because "he was here now, so open the store!" He kept banging on the door and then threw a metal bucket at my head. Good times."

18. SuperDuperChuck got yelled at for giving the customer a BIGGER discount.

"I applied another discount to the total instead of the promoted discount to save her more money. Had to get into an argument with her just to explain I’m trying to save her more money. She wasn’t having it.

Pay more money, I don’t fucking care anymore."

19. FreddieGregg got blamed for a customer's bleeding feet.

"She claimed that I was thinking bad thoughts about her and the resulting negative energy was making her feet bleed.

I wasn't thinking bad thoughts about her before that, but I sure as shit was after."

20. Vsevse's customer went to the wrong bank, then yelled at everyone.

"I was working at a bank that no longer exists back in ~2005 as a operations supervisor of the teller line. I was working as a teller and it was a pretty busy day, maybe the 1st or 3rd of the month so the line was out the door with people. There was a customer who was coming up to my window and he was very irate and frustrated with the line. Makes sense - we had all the tellers on the line and it was still a monster. He'd probably waited like 40 minutes? I don't know it's a blur for me feels like 8 hours passes in a blip on those days. Anyway he gets up to the window and he throws his checkbook at me through the little slot in a huff and tells me he wants to withdrawal some money."

"It's at this point I should tell you that he gives me his Wells Fargo account, but we are - unfortunately - a Washington Mutual."

"I tell him as such and he starts raising all hell calling me a bitch and catty and that I "have an attitude." Now, people get seriously mad over money so I've experienced a lot of hostility. I felt objectively bad for the guy but also shocked that he'd get so mad."

"He eventually called my manager over to complain about me. We apologized for my behavior and he eventually left. Some people seriously lash out when they fuck up."

Woman hilariously ranks 14 of the men from Game of Thrones as sandwiches. Dinner is coming

Is there any better way to appreciate the babes on Game of Thrones than through a comprehensive list comparing them to sandwiches?! I didn't think so either. As fans across the world are preparing to mourn the end of Game of Thrones, the internet is ripe with threads full of appreciation for everyone's favorite characters.

But my personal favorite of these threads pairs the hunks of Game of Thrones with their own sandwiches, and naturally, as any good journalism does, lists reasons why these sandwiches embody said hunks. Naturally, one has to consider factors of appearance, personality, and general popularity when matching a cutie with a sandwich.

The writer Amelia did an excellent job at this very important task, and the internet, and myself, fully appreciate her steadfastness.

You may want to do damage control and feed yourself a good snack before checking out this list of Game of Thrones sandwiches, lest your hunger and thirst overtake you.

She ended the thread with another fantastic meme, proving sandwiches are the great online unifier.

All in all, the people of the internet agreed: hunks as sandwiches is the great unifier, and could possibly be employed as a tool for future world peace.

If you're planning on watching the finale this Sunday, you may just want to fix yourselves some GoT themed sandwiches, devoted to your favorite characters, of course.

Courteney Cox posted a 'Friends' throwback Instagram that made 90s kids nostalgic.

If you grew up in the 1990s and/or care about sitcoms, you know about 'Friends.'

Remote file

Though the series finale aired in 2004, its ten seasons endure as a cultural touchstone. You can see its influence in shows like 'The Big Bang Theory', 'New Girl', and 'How I Met Your Mother.'

Jennifer Aniston was unquestionably its breakout star, but the other five 'Friends' have gone on to respectable careers in film and television. I'm personally partial to Lisa Kudrow's starring turn as Valerie Cherish on HBO's 'The Comeback' and Matthew Perry playing a womanizing, quick-tempered version of himself on Showtime's 'Episodes.' Both must-sees, IMO. Although co-creator Marta Kauffman is adamantly against a reunion, the show's legacy remains. Besides, would you REALLY want to see Ross and Rachel raise a child? They barely functioned sans bébé.

Yesterday, Courteney Cox made 90s kids nostalgic by posting a throwback photo of the 'Friends' cast on Instagram.

Look how young they are! Lil' cherubs unaware their NBC gig would make television history. Jennifer Aniston had no idea she'd become a sex symbol and inspire women globally to adopt an unflattering haircut. This was YEARS before she'd date John Mayer or shill Smartwater. Wow.

'Phoebe' herself weighed in!

All ten (!) seasons of 'Friends' are currently viewable on Netflix.

Popular 'Game of Thrones' theory would explain both Bran and Daenerys's weird behavior.

A popular new fan theory attempts to solve two major Game of Thrones plot holes for the price of one, answering:

1. How did Daenerys Targaryen manage to go full genocidal maniac so quickly? AND

2. Where the hell does Bran Stark go in the middle of battle?

What the hell, Bran?!

This season's third episode, "The Long Night," totally slaughtered theories like "Jon is Azor Ahai" and "Bran is the Night King" along with the Army of the Dead, but just because Bran doesn't appear to be targeting all of humanity for extinction, it doesn't mean that he isn't bad.

According to a popular theory floating around, Bran is both evil and responsible for the burning of King's Landing.

The theory comes from the Night King himself.

Vladimir Furdik, the man behind those weird blue horns, posted this about his encounter with the young Stark.

The Night King touched Bran back in season six, leaving a mark and making the Cave of the Three-Eyed Raven vulnerable to wight invasion.

Touched by the opposite of an angel.

Redditor ratcliffeb elaboated on the theory in light of last Sunday's episode, The One Where Daenerys Goes Crazy.

"I believe the 3ER is an evil character created by the Children of the Forest (OR hes the Lord of Light) to destroy not only the Night King but the entirety of humankind, and he's the grandmaster at playing chess. He's gone back through the past and manipulated people into doing things that makes Westeros the way it is today (Including making Aerys Targaryen go mad) Everything has to happen in a certain way to set up his next play," he wrote.

" His most recent play has been doing everything to manipulate Dany into going Mad and burning down Kings Landing. Which will cause all the other lords to revolt against her. Problem is he underestimated Dany and instead of burning down Kings Landing she was headed for the Red Keep so the 3ER warged into Drogon and did it himself."

You may recall that a dragon's shadow over King's Landing appeared in one of Bran's visions:

And Dany's face before she lit civilians on fire was rather ambiguous. Bran being in control would help explain her actions.


​​​​​​"Burn Them All"?

Don't take it from me, take it from Twitter:

He didn't stop it...did he do it?

To quote Bran, I have to go now.

18 women share the dumbest things men believed about reproductive health. Goddesses give us patience.

It's Friday! Congratulations on making it through the workweek, especially given certain political developments. Before you rush to vape marijuana or chug rosé - thereby beginning the process of relaxation via brain cell erasure - I have an idea. What if you first decompressed by reading highlights from a hilarious Twitter thread? Deal? Deal.

Thanks to @brownandbella - and the many women who contributed - the dread men's ignorance generates is offset by how ridiculous their beliefs are. I've said it before and I'll say it again: in our heteronormative, natalist culture, it's WILD that I'm expected to reproduce with one of these male specimens. An unsolicited suggestion: if man can't explain, in the most basic terms, what a period is - don't sleep with him. If he doesn't know, he doesn't deserve to be inside you. Period!
