Woman asks if she was wrong to tell guy she slept with that he's bad at sex after he asked.

0

Should you be honest about your sexual experience with a friend if they ask you about it?

It's hard to watch someone who is wildly confident about something you know they have little reason to be so proud of. Making fun of your friends in a group setting is never a nice move, but there are some isolated situations where they might deserve it. Sexual performance, or sex "skills" can mean something different for everyone, but being a selfish lover is usually an across-the-board sign that you need improvement. Good sex requires communication, intuition, and the will to actually want your partner to have a positive experience too. Bragging about how great you are at sex in front of people who know for sure whether or not that's true is definitely a very bold move, but should you be honest if you know the truth?

When a Reddit user consulted "Am I the As*hole?" about whether or not she was wrong to embarrass her former roommate and mutual friend about his skills in the bedroom, people were there to help. Let's dive in...

AITA (Am I the As*hole?) for telling my male friend that he’s sh*t at sex?

One of my (24F) male friends, I’ll call Jack (25M), is a bit of a lad and very good looking. Jack basically thinks that lad points are important, he’s always going on about how many girls he’s been with and how high is body count is. I lived with him in a house share for a while and whenever he bought a girl home, he’d make sure to parade her around by introducing her, spend 15-20 mins in his room having sex, then come out and strut around naked or in his boxers..yes he really would. I remember saying a few times why are you out here, you have a beautiful girl in your room and you’re not in there with her?

This behavior was pretty common for him and even though he was an almighty douche, we were still friends. Anyway after about 8 months of living together, after a drunken night, me and Jack ended up in bed together. Honestly it was terrible and having slept with him I realized something. Jack had a big d*ck (which I knew because of his strutting) but he thought that having a big d*ck automatically meant he was good at sex. Like it just immediately made him amazing in bed. Our sex was sh*t, like hands down the worst sex I’d ever had. No foreplay, he left lights and tv on, then unceremoniously shoved himself inside me. The whole thing was basically a race for him to get inside me as quickly as possible. Maybe 10 minutes of uncomfortable jack-hammering then he was done. The next morning I was really sore because 1. I wasn’t wet at all 2. His dick was big. But because I was sore he took that as him doing a bang up job. Anyway that experience was a few years ago, and even after all this time, Jack is still the same lad he was and still f*cks girls like they’re lined up on a conveyor belt for him.

Back to the present. Recently, my husband and I hosted a bbq in our garden as gatherings are now allowed. Jack came over as he’s in our mutual group. Of course after a while Jack starts going on about the girls he’s f*cked, and even showing up another girl at the party by telling people he’d f*cked her. It’s then he turns to me and asks if I can prove to the lads how “fire” he is at sex. Slightly embarrassed but also angry he even mentioned me, I straight up told him he was sh*t. Basically worst sex I ever had, I then went onto say what happened and that he only has sex just to say that he’s had sex. It wasn’t fun, pleasurable or enjoyable and for the record I didn’t come. Amazingly enough, two other girls also backed up what I was saying. Saying their nights with him were pretty much the same to how I described it. Jack got defensive and angry but we wouldn’t drop it. He eventually left absolutely fuming.

My husband, who knows I slept with him years before said I was insensitive, especially as it seems jack relies heavily on the lad/sex God persona he’s created. I don’t think so, it was about time Jack was called out for being sh*t in bed and maybe use this to learn how to actually have sex. All the boys in the group think I’m an a*s for calling Jack out, me and the girls disagree

This party sounds like a scene from a mid-2000s high school rom-com. Jack needed a reality check and he should've known better than to put a former partner on the spot about his sex skills. Of course, people were quick to share their opinion:

Exactly. He put you in the spot in a public setting and doesn't like the answer he got in a public setting.

He gambled on your response and lost. - Justanothergamerwife

I knew plenty of Jack's, in fact one of them was actually called Jack and he was absolutely the worst sex I have ever had. He was also a lad who liked to gloat about all the women he had slept with. I was intrigued so I slept with him and it was the worst sex I have ever had, and again for exactly the same reason -he was sh*t at sex but had a big d*ck. Jack needed a reality check, and it was his fault for bringing you up. He should have known better. The only reason your husband said you were insensitive is because he can relate - you hit Jack where it hurts all men, right in the sexual performance. Your husband was just feeling second hand shame. Jack deserved it though, some people need a splash of cold water. - HighQueenOfFillory

He sounds like a total jerk and womanizer. It was about time he was put in his place. I’m honestly surprised it didn’t happen sooner and that all of your friend group has even allowed him around this long. - MyRockySpine

No wonder he brings a new girl each time, none of them want to come back for seconds.

He deserved to be told the truth. I believe nobody should get false praise in sex when they didn't earn it. - midnight_citrus

My favorite part about this story is that two other girls backed you up. His persona is just that and his self esteem is based on a lie. Hopefully he can learn from this and come back down to earth. Based on your description though probably not. - XMousexx

1 He prompted you.

2 He needed to get off his high f*cking horse

3 He seems pretty sexist, seeing women as only objectives rather than full human beings

4 You probably inspired positive character growth in him. He is probably a better person now.

5 Sex isn't the greatest thing to base most of your personality around. He is an incredibly shallow person.

6 It was going to happen eventually. It's not like you would be saving him from this realization. Someone would break the news to him and it couldn't happen in a better way. He asked for your opinion and you gave it to him - ipsum629

So, there you have it!

If you're going to ask someone for compliments on your sexual performance in front of other people, you should be 100% confident that they actually do have praise to give you, otherwise you should be prepared for embarrassment.

Every dad is special in their own way... but there are certain and strange things that all dads seem to have in common. Dads' behaviors would have you believe that as soon as a man fertilizes an egg, they become obsessed with World War II, dictators about the Thermostat, and can no longer control the volume of their sneezes.

Here are 25 of the funniest tweets that are about every dad—especially your dad.

20 people share the fastest they've seen a crowd go from excited to horrified.

0
0

A "crowd," for those of you that have forgotten about life pre-COVID, is what happens when many people are in the same place at one time with less then 6 feet of distance in between them. They can be a lot of fun. But they can also go South really fast. Because panic, fear, and disgust spread even faster than coronavirus on a cruise ship.

Someone asked Reddit: "what's the fastest you've seen a crowd go from excited to horrified?" These 20 people share stories of the times the energy in a big group of people took a sudden turn for the worse:

1.) From RickMcV:

Monday Night Football, November 18th, 1985. Washington Redskins vs. the New York Giants. I was pretty young at the time so being allowed to stay up late on a weekday was a rare occasion. During one of the plays, Joe Theismann was sacked by Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson of the Giants. The entire stadium went silent as Theismann would end up suffering a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula. What I remember most vividly is that the broadcast kept replaying it over and over again and seeing shin snap at a 90 degree angle. It made me physically nauseous and had to walk out of the room. If I recall correctly, following the injury, broadcasting policies were changed so that constant replays like this would not be shown in the future.

2.) From drunken-black-sheep:

An animal show at Busch gardens. The camels started f*cking.

3.) From VloekenenVentileren:

A friend of mine decided it would be fun to try and see if he could smash a beer glas on his head. Up until then he was just being a enthusiastic drunk and had some positive attention. He then decided the beer glass thing was a good idea and promptly executed it.

Head wounds bleed A LOT in the first minute. Crowd when from 'auw, you're cute' to 'f*ck he's gonna die'

I sobered up in an instant and got a (semi) clean towel for him to stop the bleeding. Thankfully head wounds also stop bleeding pretty quick in most instances.

4.) From MichJohn67:

I was at some weird zoo/animal preserve north of Phoenix in 2012, and there was a tigress in chain-linked compound. This little girl went up to her and blew her a kiss. The tigress looked at her at licked her (her own, not the little girl's) whiskers, and the crowd went "Awwwwwwww."

The the tigress shifted a little bit and pissed all over the little girl.

The crowd was shocked and horrified, but I laughed my ass off.

5.) From LeftHandedWave:

There was a episode of "The Man Show" where they went to Mardi Gras and had a girl to show her boobs. However, they also gave her very hairy boobs to fake out the crowd. The cheering on for her to show her boobs, then the gasp as they saw how hairy she was. It took less than a second.

6.) From ImTheElephantMan:

There was a Derren Brown show called remote control. It was all about the effects of mob mentality. The crowd had to decide whether something nice happened or something bad happened to the same person. Each time the thing would be better or worse than the last. Eventually it led to them deciding that he would be kidnapped (they were all watching live on hidden cameras in a studio by the way). When the kidnapping was attempted it showed him evading them but running into the road and getting hit by a car. The whole crowd gasped and eventually people asked the filming to stop. The last part was just an actor/stuntman though.

Edit: found it on youtube

7.) From texassadist

I’m a huge fan of 90s rock. Korn, Slipknot, Seether, Mushroomhead, etc. Anyways I’ve ALWAYS wanted to see Marilyn Manson in concert and he was opening for I think one of the mentioned bands above a few years back.

Anyways, he comes on and just looked horrible, kind of slurring but whatever I get it. So like 4 songs in he starts singing “Beautiful People” and mostly everyone seemed in to it. Well maybe bc it’s TX and it was an outdoor venue over 100 degrees but he just goes, “fuck it, y’all suck” and walks off stage. Took a few seconds to register with every one he wasn’t joking and every starts booing and cussing. I was legit excited and it just turned to garbage so quick.

8.) From chris_courtland:

The climax of the last Twilight movie is a fight scene that goes on for 10 minutes. Vampires are ripping each other's heads off, giant wolves are throwing them around like chew toys, and one-by-one each of Bella's friends and family die around her. You can actually hear people in the audience react as each named character dies.

And none of this happened in the book, which was criticized for its lack of climax. As each minute goes on, it feels like they improved the film's story to give it a real sense of danger and excitement and payoff to the series.

So shit's intense. And right as they kill the big bad evil guy, the camera fades to black, pulls out, and reveals that all of it was a vision. The last 10 minutes didn't happen - it was someone seeing a future that might happen. No one died. Just a bunch of vampires and wolves standing around staring at each other in silence. Then they all walk away, alive and well.

The crowd groans. A girl up front shouts "Are you shitting me?!" Everyone sits back in their seat; no one cares about what's happening on screen anymore. Some people are laughing because someone hit the undo button on the most exciting 10 minutes of the movie.

Never have I seen a theater turn on a film so quickly and so hard.

9.) From demonardvark:

Pink Floyd often would have giant floating pigs released during the concert, you know inflatable balloons. This would happen like half way through the show. Well people are smoking tons of pot, drinking, doing god knows what other drugs, so by the time the pig is released it's basically like god descending from the heavens. People were losing their shit at the pig. Well it got caught in one of the wires and caught on fire. You've never seen so many stoners fall to their knees in terror/fear/sorrow over the death of a giant inflatable pig. There is no god anymore, his bacon got fried.

10.) From dtburton:

Last week at a blm protest they were letting anyone come up and speak through a megaphone. This man got up and started talking about his newborn son and how he wanted to make sure we have a better world for him. He then started talking about love and unity and the guy essentially had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. Then he brought up Bill Cosby and how he was arrested on allegations and the crowd turned instantly.

11.) From Honestless:

7-8 years ago during a concert there was an earthquake, not too huge, but enough for some speakers to fall and to scare the shit out of those attending.

12) From Hills_tortilla:

At my freinds wedding

The groom kicked the flower boy

He was no more than 10, so yeah

13.) From HueyLewisAndTheShoes:

We were all 17-18 on a school trip. Typical week away doing rock climbing, archery, camping etc.

At the end of the trip we’re gathered in a big hall for one final gathering and then out of the blue there was a demonstration on how to effectively kill a chicken... using a live chicken that was killed in front of us all for some reason. No warning.

14.) From gil_beard:

Several years back and my band opens up for a hard-core punk outfit from Illinois at an all ages venue where they have a Sci-fi theme to their show. The singer dresses up as a mad scientist and the other three members dress up as his "evil robots." They also have old television sets plugged in around the stage playing 1950s B horror movies while they play. No one including the people running the venue have ever seen these guys play before but going off of the theme we are expecting something awesome. That is until I'm backstage putting my equipment away and notice them all pounding back shots of tequila. When it's their turn to play they're so hammered they can't even make it through one verse of a song. The singer ended up drop kicking one of the tvs into the crowd of about 200 people, which caught fire. This caused the sound guy to end their set right there and they were banned from the venue for life. I've never seen a crowd go from happy to oh shit so fast.

15.) From liloben:

When working on a kids show a child goes missing within the first 15 minutes of the show starting. Show had an emergency stop so the parents could plead for the child to make himself know. Nobody was allowed to leave their seats or leave the building. Whole building had to be searched. Everyone assumed the worse but after half an hour they resumed the show even though the kid still had not been found.

Ten minutes later we got word that the kid had wandered out of the building and was found safe and sound around the corner.

To make matters worse the show was Rapunzel, you know where the story centres around a kidnapped child.

16.) From TannedCroissant:

St Patrick’s Day 2012. During a football (soccer) game between Tottenham Hotspur and Bolton Wanderers, a player, Fabrice Muamba, collapsed on the pitch due to cardiac arrest. The game was televised and I was watching it at my local pub. The pub became eerily silent. There was a weird sense of things not being good and everyone was concerned for a player we barely knew of. Football fans might be loud ruffians but there’s a lot of respect when things go wrong.

Fortunately Fabrice survived and recovered however he retired on Doctors’s advice.

17.) From Thirty_Helens_Agree:

Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary party.

For months they said the headliner of the big weekend-long party was a “mystery guest.” Everyone assumed it would be someone who appeals to the Harley crowd like The Rolling Stones or Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, right? So the show starts, opening act is the Doobie Brothers and the crowd loved it. Next is Tim McGraw and the crowd loved it. Next was Kid Rock and he just rocks and the crowd loves it.

Then it’s time for the “Mystery Guest.” It’s Elton Fucking John. The crowd just poured out of the park. Plenty stayed and enjoyed the show, but tens of thousands of people said fuck this and left.

18.) From MattBowden1981:

Exhumed concert. People were going nuts during their set until one of the band members started puking on stage. Apparently he can do it on demand.

19.) From -eDgAR-:

Years ago I was at a company holiday party where they rented a live karaoke band for the event. I looked through their song list to see what they had. I noticed The Misfits "Last Caress" on there, which was a song I loved, but seemed so out of place. For those of you that don't know the song it starts out with:

"I got something to say

I killed your baby today

And it doesn't matter much to me

As long as it's dead"

I thought, "Man, I kind of want to do that sonh, but I really shouldn't." But after many, many drinks later I was drunk enough to not care. I get up on stage and request the song. The band starts going and I get super into it just belting the lyrics into the microphone.

Now, it wasn't the fucked up lyrics that got to people, I'm not even sure they had any idea what I was singing because they were cheering me on. What shocked them was when I accidently lifted the microphone too fast to my face and smacked myself on the mouth. My lip started bleeding, badly, and I could see people in the crowd go from "Whooo!" to "OMG!!" A co-worker of mine rushed on stage, pulled me aside, and called me a cab home.

20.) From reconlabtech:

Election night 2016

20 people share the most illogical things they somehow believed for a long time.

0
0

Childhood is a confusing time where you'll believe pretty much anything an adult tells you. Flying reindeer? Monsters in the closet? A tiny winged woman that collects you missing teeth and gives you money? Ok, sure!

However, there also some illogical and ridiculous beliefs we hold onto well into adulthood until a friend has to call us out and blow our minds. If you've held onto an embarrassingly crazy fact (marshmallows grow in nuts by the marsh?) for just a little too long, you're not alone. Sometimes parents will tell their kids anything to get them to behave and then forget that their kids might actually grow up believing you can get arrested for driving with the light on or screaming inside a car. Turns out, watermelons won't grow in your stomach if you eat a seed and your face actually can't get stuck like that. You also won't turn into a blueberry if you eat too many blueberries...

So, when a recent Reddit user asked, "What illogical thing did you believe for many years?" people were ready to share their longest gullible moment.

1.

I believed in Santa until I was about 7 or 8, which isn't that unusual except that I'm Jewish and I thought he was an antisemite because I never got presents on Christmas. - punkterminator

2.

Whenever I was at the mall as a kid, I asked my older sibling why some mannequins didn't have heads. They told me it was because the mannequin heads were crawling on the ground trying to come and bite my feet. I believed it for a very long time and then became paranoid every time I was at the mall. Whenever I saw a mannequin without a head, it was time to panic. - Squeegee54

3.

That the world was black and white until color came in to it. Looking at old photographs confused young me, apparently - elendil21

4.

When I was 6 I went on an airplane for the first time, and I must have fallen asleep and had a dream, without realizing it was a dream.

It was a decade later when I realized I couldn’t really be angry that my brother got to ride with the pilot, roll the window down and get a cup of cloud, and I didn’t. - wormboyz

5.

When I first got my license they asked if I wanted to be an organ donor. I said no. Years later a friend of mine asked me why I wasn’t a donor and I told them it was because I was afraid they would call me up one day and demand a kidney or part of my liver or something. - ALavenderLatte

6.

If you shake water in a water bottle long enough it will turn into crystal. Why did I believe this? Because my big sister told me and she was never wrong. So I did that for years until I found out it was a lie to keep my occupied on the car so I'd stop annoying my parents. - prettydotty_

7.

When I was really young, one of my friends told me that raisin bread had rabbit poop in it. So I refused to eat raisin bread for years. At some point the narrative of rabbit poop in bread must have got a little strange because then I convinced myself I just didn't like it. And went with that for 25 years.

Until I dated someone who loved raisin bread and tried and it was amazing! No more rabbit poop bread. - annainpajamas

8.

When I was a kid for some reason I thought adult women’s nipples were long - I guess like baby bottle tops - and that bras compressed them back into the boob. - somemetausername

9.

That young girls had penises and then grew vaginas as they hit puberty. - Apotatosomewhere

10.

I used to think all people had thoughts in English even if they spoke another language verbally - BonnetDeDoucheBag

11.

I thought ikea was a fancy, expensive store for a very long time! - ttotto45

12.

I believed all dogs are male and all cats are female. The cartoon CatDog really screwed with my youthful mind. Both ends are male and I just couldn't comprehend that. - DQ_Anomaly

13.

I used to panic every time the store was closing when I was a kid, I thought I'd die if I got locked in a store. - melancholic_inertia

14.

Turning on the lights in the car will get me arrested - tamytay

15.

That the Arby's sign was a whale and they served whale meat - TryOnlyonce420

16.

I thought Jesus invented the English language. - radiocomicsescapist

17.

That if my dad didn’t shave everyday, he would turn into a gorilla. - jessflyc

18.

That chocolate milk came from brown cows. - NoSpring4

19.

That sugar from soda was metabolized immediately and wasn’t able to be stored as fat. - Reformed_Narcissist

20.

I thought beluga whales and narwhals were made up, like vampires. - indecision-king

20 people shared the most drunk thing they've heard someone say at a party.

0
0

Being drunk often feels amazing in the moment, but gives most of us a serious case of word vomit. It can be hilarious to behold a normally well-spoken friend dissolve into drunken exclamations and gibberish during a night out on the town.

However, once the hangover has passed, a friend's drunken nonsense can be a hilarious anecdote to retell at brunches over the years.

In a popular Reddit thread, people shared the most drunk thing they've heard someone say at a party, and it ranges from hilarious to depressing.

1. From kex06:

I work at a bar, I tried to take a spoon back from someone who was leaving, but he wouldn't let me have it. He kept insisting that someone had knighted him with it. Hope you got home ok spoon knight...

2. From nifiz:

I got so drunk, that about an hour after the new year I jumped off the balcony, fell to another party and stayed there for a few hours before realizing I don't know anyone.

3. From boob_girl:

I was the most drunk at my friend's party.

Around 11:55 I started freaking out because I didn't have any 2017 glasses. So I ran and got some paper and some scissors to DIY that shit.

While sitting on the floor trying to craft some glasses out of paper, the clock strikes 12 and while everyone starts cheering and kissing, I sit on the floor with scissors and papers hysterically crying because I didn't have any NYE glasses.

4. From RIPKENBEATSHISWIFE:

I was DD and my friend had to puke, so we pulled over and he threw up in the street/sidewalk. It's a small town, and we were parked for probably 5-10 minutes.

I was looking for cops because I wasn't sure of the legality of him throwing up in the street regarding littering or whatever, and small town cops in Delaware can be sort of dickish. He was finishing up when a cop rolled by. He drove past us and didn't stop, but he turned around and drove past again. He went down the street and around a corner so I assumed we were safe.

I drove down the street and shortly after the cop rolls up and pulls us over. I'm sober so I'm not too worried but when he walks up to the car he has a bottle of water in his hand and asks "hey do you guys need this" looking at my friend slumped over in the back seat. We all laugh and thank him and he lets us go on our way. I know he was doing his due diligence making sure I wasn't drunk but he was cool as shit about the whole thing.

5. From AKeeZ:

Had to convince my friend not to jump in the pool because he thought "This water is 2016 water, I gotta jump before it becomes 2017 water!"

It wasn't even a pool party.

6. From wenger828:

Clapping to the beat of a song, a drunk man from holland comes up to me and says I have great, powerful claps and we should clap our hands together in the form of a high five.

7. From nousernamesleftsosad:

Grandpa got very racist towards my black cat.

8. From A_Bus_Fulla_Nunz:

My GF started puking, and between outbursts says "At least this is all good wine, it doesn't taste so bad coming up!"

9. From Officially_Bread:

We had a bunch of friends over at our house last night for the new year's celebration. It was starting to wind down and a group of them were having trouble finding a cab home. So one of them passes out on the couch because the wait had been over two hours.

Finally when a cab is hailed, another friend rushes inside to wake up the girl to get her. My GF and I are saying goodbye to everyone at the door. She groggily stumbles over and begins to say goodbye to my GF. "So nice to see you guys, I had a great time. You guys should come over more, don't worry about the coat, we can meet up tomorrow and figure it all out."

"Yeah no problem we had a great time too! We'll talk tomorrow." She stands there in a blanket.

"Yeah, hope you guys come again. Again, we'll figure out the coats tomorrow. I'm going back to bed right now."

"Uhhhh" I start to clue in, "we live here, you're the one leaving."

"Oh." So she starts to put on some shoes at the door from the pile.

"I don't think those are your shoes, do you remember what you wore here?" She looks down and stood trying to fit into small shoes. She then moves to a red cup on the floor and sticks her foot in it. At this point I'm dying laughing, " I don't think you wore that either"

"Oh this is embarrassing" I think she walked away with our blanket too...

10. From BakerBobMar:

Ecuadorian student studying abroad in the states: "2 bottles of Goose? That's geese!"

11. From MidnightCoterie:

ER Nurse.

Guy came in complaining of scrotal pain. Stated he was at home, in his living room, high on coke and quite drunk, sitting on a bicycle when he slipped and caught his marble purse on the sharp pedal. He felt wetness and assuming it was blood wrapped his manhood in TP and ran to the ER. He got back to my room and finally found the courage to check the damage himself. Noticed it was just urine and he had peed his pants. Ran straight back out into the night without another word.

Happy new year central Ohio.

12. From ohlongdongjohnson:

Me and my friend made in addition to 10 jars of everclear concoctions, spiked gummy worms. At one point someone had tongs to take out the worms from jars and fed it to one of the girls at the party. He said he felt like a momma bird.

In my drunken wisdom, I decided I wanted a momma bird too and proceeded to flap my arms like a bird and squawk, and was rewarded with a delicious worm.

Cue about 10 people then squawking and flapping their arms in unison as we were being fed spiked gummy worms by a drunk man with tongs.

What a time to be alive.

13. Fromsaxy_for_life:

I told someone I was done drinking for the night because I'm a p*ssy and he gave me this real emotional speech about never putting myself down.

14. From Jesus_Your_Gardener:

He kept praising the invention of balloons.

15. From Davinator130:

I threw the lighter away instead of the firecracker...

16. From RedditScope:

A guy sat in the corner in tears because he didn't want 2013 to end.

17. From atfumbel:

There were a few singles at my New Year's Eve party. They were joking about just all kissing each other when my buddy offers to kiss all of them. When asked how he's going to accomplish it he manages to slur out the words "Midnight is a whole minute, and I'm a sl*t"

18. From izzyjubejube:

I was walking my WASTED boyfriend home from the bar we were at, and I told him he wasn't allowed to go to bed until he drank a whole glass of water.

He started crying and said "Why are you punishing me?"

It was pathetic but hilarious.

19. From OldMackysBackInTown:

This lady was much drunker than everyone thought and no one realized until around 12:10am when her husband tried to get her to leave and she grabbed him by the throat and push him down some stairs. He got up, dusted himself off, and calmly walked out the front door. She attempted to sober up in the dining room while someone downloaded uber to her phone so she could get home.

I felt bad for the guy, but secretly I was so happy to see he said F This and bounced completely.

20. From i_can_make_a_mess:

Friends friend passed out on the couch still wearing his ski gear, let's out a huge fart waking himself up. He turned to look at his a*s simply asking "What?" While looking confused.

Chrissy Teigen shares funny notes from daughter Luna after getting breast implants removed.

With everything else that's going on in the world, it's easy to overlook important news stories: like Chrissy Teigen getting her breast implants removed! The model, mom, and cook book empress revealed a few weeks ago that she would be getting surgery to remove her implants, which she got at age 20 to help her modeling career.

In case you were worried, she clarified: "I'll still have boobs, they'll just be pure fat. Which is all a tit is in the first place. A dumb, miraculous bag of fat." Thank Goddess!

Teigen is now in recovery from surgery and it went well, but sounds like it was a painful process. On the bright side, she has the support of her daughter, Luna.

"Surgery went perfectly! So so so so so sore, but waking up to this made it go away for half a minute at least," Teigen wrote on Instagram alongside photos of the notes Luna gave her as a "goodbye" gift for her boobs. If you didn't already have a soft spot in your heart for Teigen's 4-year-old daughter, you will now.

"Have fun pulling your boobies out," reads the first note.

And the second one reads, succinctly: "Bye boobies."

Teigen shared the hilarious notes on Twitter as well, where people are applauding what will surely be one of the most iconic quotes of this decade.

And other women are sharing their own stories of celebrating breast reduction surgeries or implant removals.

Clearly Luna is a literal Legend who shares her mom's sense of humor and way with words. Hopefully we'll be hearing much more from her in the future.

16 ex-friends of serial killers and murderers share what they were like.

0
0

We'd all like to think we can see the warning signs of a violent person, but it's not always the case.

A recent Reddit thread asked people who've been friends with serial killers and murderers to explain what those people were like. Some were charming, some were creepy — and it's clear that predicting who's violent is harder than we think.

1. This person saw the red flags quickly.

He was a jerk. His wife was my friend, and she started slowly telling me a few things about him. They came to our home for some gatherings we held, and he was simply "off" and very controlling of her social life. When several of us reached out to her, she happily accepted our help to get her out of the marriage and into safety. Soon after, he showed up at my door one day demanding money, which I did not give him. He left, angry.

A few months later, he was evicted from his rental in the next town over, and came back into our town, hell bent on killing everyone who helped her and who was associated with the rental situation and another circumstance that he was mad about. I was not home that night, thankfully. He hunted down and killed five people, one of whom was a friend of mine. He committed suicide when the police had him cornered. That was nearly 30 years ago.

Andy, my friend, I still miss you and your goofy grin. - cat9tail

2. Chilling.

Charming, had lots of friends. I remember sitting on the school bus thinking I should try to be more like him. He was always smiling, and girls would flirt with him. About 8-10 years after that, he was arrested along with another guy his age for the burglary, rape, and murder of a very old woman and her dog. - Mister-Grumpy

3. "Fairly normal" except the whole murderer thing...

He was fairly normal. My ex gfs brother. Nobody had a clue until the police gave their theory and then the whole family pretty much agreed it was him. They estimated 6 prostitutes between maryland and new jersey - surfpunk622

4. Some people seem totally normal until they're... not.

I went to school with the guy that murdered Chris Kyle (American Sniper) and Chad Littlefield. He was a pretty normal kid, kinda funny, had ADHD I believe and was in some of the academic assistance programs if I can remember right. Class clown type for the most part, don’t remember him getting into a bunch of fights or anything.

Nothing specific really stands out. His mom was one of our teachers in elementary. He left school early and joined the military. Did a couple tours, including the Haitian disaster relief in the early 2010s. Apparently fishing bodies out of wreckage is what messed him up really bad. After that he had horrible PTSD and developed some bad mental health issues.

Chris and Chad were doing a range therapy business for veterans. Eddie snapped and murdered him for his truck (big modified diesel) and took off. Horrible story and outcome from someone who was once pretty normal. I knew him from 3rd grade or so until Senior year. Not great friends or anything but he seemed like a decent guy. We’d been out of school for about 10 years or so when it happened so a lot changed over that time I’m sure. - tamalediet

5. Something changed.

He was like a big, goofy, brother. I loved him to bits but fell out of contact with him when I split with my ex. Last year his ex (we were friends through him) sent me an article via FB Messenger detailing how he murdered his new wife and her three young kids then set the trailer they were all living in on fire. The pictures of him in the article chilled me to the bone, the guy I knew back then wasn’t there. There was just a cold blooded emptiness in his eyes. He’s still waiting to be put on trial. - burnt-cinnamon-roll

6. When creepy video game behavior becomes real...

Played D&D with a guy on deployment for a few months while I was in the Navy. We hung out in the same group of people. I stopped playing because he kept trying to rape all the female NPCs/player characters. When we got back from deployment the FBI and NCIS were pier side waiting for him. Him and some other guys had raped and killed a woman who's husband was on deployment.

Also had some friends who tied up an old man who they suspected of molesting one's younger brother when we were teenagers. They tortured him for hours, then killed him and tried to burn the body. Two got life, the other turned evidence and only served a few years. Had another guy I was pretty good friends with get arrested by ATF for trying to blow up the car of our local ADA. He bought fake C4 from and undercover agent, they swarmed him while he was pushing the switch. As I write this, I realize I've been close to some really messed up people. Maybe I'm the one who isn't right... - originalsanitizer

7. Thank goodness for this car accident!

He was so sweet, he was basically my childhood friend. Then one day I stopped hearing from him, 1 or 2 years later he called me and asked me out. I said yes and was so happy. I really did love him. On the way to the restaurant someone hit my car and I wasnt able to go. A week later, the day before I was supposed to meet him, he got arrested for having 3 bodies of prostitutes that had recently went missing, stored in his basement. all of them severely damaged and beaten - Kirishima-eijiro

8. It's often the charmers who turn out to be off.

One of my professors “Mr. Anderson” sat near Ted Bundy in a college course due to the proximity of their last names in alphabetical order. My grandmother in law had a store next to a serial killer from Montana (can’t remember his name now) but in both cases the people said they were just nice as could be. No suspicion of being a killer at all.

That’s what scares me the most, they aren’t the weird quiet kid. They’re the charming funny guys. - nofartknockin

9. That's a lot of murderers for one high school class.

I went to high school with not 1, but 2 murderers. This was a suburban Atlanta high school.

The biggest things, beside murdering a couple of people, they had in common is that they both had nuclear tempers and ran with the redneck crowd. - Skydogsguitar

10. Some murderers seem weird from the beginning.

dad had theatre classes with a kid who murdered his gf, cut her body up, n stuffed her into a suitcase before dumping it in a garbage bin in cali.

he said he was overall a weird/offputting kid that tended to stick to himself and wore trench coats - kalechiwps

11. Well this took a turn.

Pretty cool janitor at our middle school. Would sometimes play Magic: The Gathering with us when his lunch and our recess lined up.

Was kinda surreal when they found several dead prostitutes in his attic a few years later. - haijak

12. This says a lot about the caliber of high school boyfriends.

A guy I was in high school with was a multiple murderer, but not quite a serial killer. I didn't really have much direct contact with him in school, but at a class reunion after he was executed, his prom date said he was one of the nicest guys she dated in HS. - fredzout

13. How do so many of these people end up getting married?

I grew up around him and his family, they were poor but were usually able to make ends meet. He was known to have previous drug addictions, and was overall a very weird guy. He was the type of guy that sent alarms off in your head when you’re around him, I always tried to avoid him. He and his wife had two kids together, but they always had a very rocky marriage. She left him numerous times, but they always got back together.

She ended up moving out of state to take care of an ill family member and left him. He showed up at their door insisting on talking to her, and she eventually let him in. They got into a very heated argument and he turned a gun on her and shot her, right in front of their young two kids. He tried to turn it on himself but I believe the oldest wrestled it from him and held it until the cops showed up. It was an incredibly sad and sickening story, no one could believe he would do such a thing. - Jmjones33

14. It's scary how people can hide their true nature.

I worked with a guy who killed his wife and her new boyfriend (they were separated) and then himself. He broke into his wife's apartment (she called cops but they didn't get there in time) and lined them up along a wall, including their kids. Didn't shoot the kids thankfully but they witnessed this all, and were part of the lineup probably thinking they were next.

He was the world's nicest, most easy-going guy. Never had an unkind word for anyone. Hard to believe he could do something like that. I think he bottled it up inside until he just snapped. I think losing your temper and spouting off at people who deserve it, once in a while, is probably good for you. Don't always pretend to be happy if you're not. Someday it might be too much for you. - Chen__Bot

15. Wow.

I worked with a guy who killed his wife and drove her car through a few states with her body in the back (it was an SUV) and their youngest son in the front. I live in Texas, he got caught in Ohio after his wife was reported missing and they tracked her car via the Onstar system. They found him at a woman’s house he apparently met online, a fight ensued and he got arrested just before the police opened the trunk and found his wife.

He and I were on a small team of six people training for the new job we got hired on at, so I’d think I knew him well enough. Used to eat lunch together sometimes and I would joke with him about how much he worked out because the dude was just completely jacked.

He talked about how he and his wife moved to our city from a number of hours away because she got some position she couldn’t get where they lived, she was a specialized nurse of some kind. He talked about how much he loved her, and always showed pictures of their youngest child together. To me he seemed like a good dad that wanted to give the world to his family.

Then I guess they started fighting after a few months of being here. He would come in slightly late, stare at the wall with a deadpan expression and wouldn’t lighten up or talk to anybody until lunch. I took it as he just stopped being a morning person, but he talked to me and another teammate about the fights he had with his wife.

Then the fights got worse, she kicked him out at one point and he was living out of his car, working out at the gym in our office at work and showering there as well. In the morning he’d often stare at the keyboard of his computer and wouldn’t respond to anyone’s jokes or comments. Coworker and I bought him lunch one day and he opened up to us. He told us that his wife threatened to take his son away and that he’d never see him again, and said “I swear, I’ll kill or die before that happens.” And of course, we thought nothing of it. It’s the kind of thing people just say, you know? After this talk, we set up a group text where we’d share memes and bullshit videos.

The last text I got from him was him telling us he “needed to get out,” and asking us to get drinks or something with him. Both of us were busy that day, so we couldn’t. Next day back at work, he isn’t there. Two more days pass, nothing. I ask our trainer if he’s heard anything, as he wasn’t responding to texts, and the trainer gave me a look and said he couldn’t discuss it. I found out what happened when I googled his name. - krackrocksteady

16. This girl's neighbor turned out to possibly be a serial killer in hiding.

I wasnt friends with him but he wanted to be friends with me! I moved to another town when I was 10, it was a neighborhood. My neighbors were friendly so were people on the street. My next door neighbors and the neighbor across the street, Bill. When I was 10 my house burned to the ground and when I was crying out front with the firefighters and insurance workers Bill approached me and talked with me. He was gentle, kind, an older man with grey silver hair and a beard to match.

He told me he knew I was often alone at home because my mom works and told me I was allowed to come over at any time. He even mentioned having games to play and movies to watch. I told him thank you.

As I grew older, I didnt pay much attention to Bill. I never went over but every day I walked home Bill was out doing something in this lawn or garage. He had a bike and often had a younger gentlemen in his 40's who visited a lot.

One night Bill's packing up a huge Uhual by 11 PM on a weekday. I was 13 then.

A month or so passed, we found out from one of our neighbors that he might of done something bad. Neighbor finds Bill on Americas Most Wanted (this woman is a stay at home mother who doesnt believe in the outside world products and stuff. Tons of free time). She said it looked exactly like him, so much so that the next time she saw him outside she told him so.

She casually went up the man and told him she saw someone who looked exactly like him on Americas Most Wanted.

The very single next day is the day I saw them moving out at 11PM.

When I asked what the crimes were, she told me looking sick that he and his brother have been kidnapping young girls, raping them, and milling n throwing them out as they move separately or together to find another spot. They've been wanted for decades. - Meganja23

21 people share the things considered normal in their family that shocked outsiders.

0

Sometimes, you don't know what's weird about your family until you find out the hard way.

A recent Reddit thread asked people to name the things that were normal in their family, but considered weird by outsiders. From sleeping at parties to oversharing about parent sex, it's safe to say we've all got a weird family quirk or two.

1. Indoor smoking is one '70s trend that needs to never come back.

Smoking indoors. I didn't do it, but my gf at the time had a veritable panic attack when we had my mother over for dinner. It was the first and only time my mother came to visit. - frog_without_a_cause

2. Is "yawn-yeller" a thing??

My mom is a yawn-yeller. When she yawns, you can hear it from anywhere in the house.

One time my sister had a friend over, and we were in the basement. My mom yawned upstairs, and my sister's friend asked "was that a coyote?" - Veritas333

3. The teacher must have loved it.

Saying "Goddammit" after sneezing. That was an interesting day in first grade. - Tsionich

4. Strange.

My dad forces us to say I love you. I say I love you quite forcefully now and I don't mean to. When people say they love me, and they aren't my family, I stutter and kinda go blank. I think, "SHIT WHAT DO I SAY? HOW DO I SAY IT WITHOUT IT BEING FORCED? - coffeecupsmuggler

5. Nein, this isn't normal.

Use assorted German words in casual conversation... which as a child I assumed were English until I got confused stares from friends. My family has been in the US since 1902. - AntebellumEm

6. This is a fun way to sass your parent.

My mom and I have had this inside joke where we go "don't talk to me" or "don't even look at me" in response to stupid shit. I don't remember how or when it started, but I've been doing it since I was a wee kid. I didn't realize how odd it was until I said "fine, don't talk to me then" in response to my mom telling me I couldn't get a video game I asked for and a woman in the aisle with us got offended.

She pulled my mom aside and told her I don't need to be talking to her like that and she needs to teach me how to respect her lmaooo. My mom explained that it's a joke that we do but she doesn't think the woman believed her. - SlytherinAhri

7. Harmless? Yes. Normal? Not really.

Apparently it isn't normal to do "grave rubbings". When I was little and went to graveyards with my family sometimes they would bring paper and crayons to rub old dates and names onto them (like a leaf rubbing). I was reminiscing on this once with my friends and realized that these rubbings weren't a normal thing to do once they all gave me horrified looks. - _ghoulgirl_

8. This lucky person didn't have a bedtime.

It seems far more common for parents to be very overtly cautious/controlling of their kids activities. Not that my parents let us have free reign but they trusted my brothers and I to walk around the neighborhood (usually in big groups). Bedtimes weren’t really enforced after like age 10, and never on weekends. Ironically later I was pretty often the “safe” friend to the more cautious parents, because I turned out REAL boring. I was probably a bit of a special case because I’ve always had a touch of anxiety, but I think having my parent’s trust kind of removed the rebellion of it. - IgTheDinosaur

9. Sounds uncomfy.

Apparently it's not normal for your parents to openly and graphically discuss their sex life with you. And it's definitely not normal for your parents to have multiple partners younger than you. - personalspaceshow

10. This is fun.

My mom made up words. I didn’t know this until I was an adult, out in the world saying fake words and having no idea. - Lauren12269

11. Kind of hilarious.

Sleep after the meal during holiday get-togethers. Just the men, the women exchanged gifts.We would all go into the living room and watch football and kinda doze. No big deal.

Did this once at my girlfriend's family Christmas and evidently I embarrassed her or maybe offended someone. Either way I was the only one asleep while everyone else was energetic and conversing lively with family. I was woken up by girlfriend with an angry tone asking why I was asleep during the party. I was comfortable, relaxed, and we just had a lot of food. Made sense to me. - Morolan

12. Food-stealing is not in any etiquette manual.

Stealing food from each others plate at dinner time. Once we had finished our meal, you would pick at the slowest ones (usually Mums). Wasn't until I did it at my now-wifes house that I learnt no one else did this. - Clifton3rds

13. Controversial.

Flush the toilet after peeing. We tried to save water, so we basically peed until someone took a dump.

Then one day I went to a family friends' house and freaked everyone out because I didn't flush. - PumpkinPatch404

14. Didn't this just make the freezer stink?

We had a bag in our deep freezer where we kept kitchen scraps until garbage night. It was pretty genius, but creeped some of my friends out when we would raid the hot pocket stash. - somebooodeh

15. Very weird.

My aunt in Texas had a 5 gallon bucket in her freezer of scorpions. They had a lot of them down there on their property and every time she would catch one she'd throw it in the bucket with the rest of them in the freezer. I never could get a straight answer why she didn't just kill them and throw them in the trash. - CafeSilver

16. Stressful.

My in-laws. Every time they come around for a meal they'll start washing and drying all the dishes afterwards. Even stuff we have next to the sink from breaky/lunch. And if I've convinced one of them they don't need to do the dishes, the next lot to step into the kitchen will come out asking why they all haven't done the dishes yet.

They're Dutch, maybe that gives this some context? - OmgOmgTrampoline

17. Child abuse.

Eating ribs with a fork and knife

I was 17 when I found out that it is okay to pick them up and eat them with your hands - ForeverTheWiseGuy

18. Hmmm...

A family towel.

We had a towel rack, and we'd just hang our towels. It wasn't designated to anyone in particular and every few days we'd just replace the dirty towel with a clean one. In college, a friend came to visit our home when she very politely asked why we all use the same towel. It just never occurred to me that that was weird. - 0l00l0l0

19. What the...

uhhh we kinda itch the inside of our throats/ears by making this...noise? with our throats? and putting one finger in your ear and moving it real fast? apparently this is VERY weird and my friends still look at me funny - etchedinvenus

20. Hmm, sounds like a great idea.

We would have a plate of sliced cheddar on the table every morning for breakfast, and eat pieces of cheese as part of the meal. Apparently other people don’t do that? - floofyyy

21. Weird but cute.

Dancing around our christmas tree. Not in like a satanic ritual sort of way, only during the holidays and your usual christmas songs are sung. Did this every christmas throughout my childhood on my moms side, apparently it's a Danish tradition I believe. I brought it up to my friends one time and they thought I was insane. Seemed normal to little o' me. - skizz-e

Woman asks if she was wrong to snap at barista for repeatedly waking her baby up by grinding coffee beans.

0
0

A woman on Reddit just cast herself in the role of "Coffee Shop Karen" and people are shutting down all her complaints.

Is it a barista's job to make sure a customer's baby has an undisturbed nap at a coffee shop? Nope. If a baby does wake up from the general noise of being out and about in public, is it right to blame the barista and then go as far as contacting the stop manager about it? The entitlement that some people have is so ridiculous it must be a joke...

Luckily, the "Am I the As*hole" moral compass of the internet has deemed this woman a full throttle, "Let me speak to the manager about some nonsense that isn't your job to fix" demon of retail and service industry nightmares. Let's dive into this hysterical disaster, shall we?

AITA (Am I the As*hole?) for snapping at a barista after she woke up my sleeping baby twice?

The coffee shop near my house just reopened, so I went in for a coffee on my afternoon walk with my 9 month old daughter yesterday. It wasn't busy, but because there were only 3 baristas (only 2 serving customers) working the service was slow. That's fine, I wasn't in a rush. But the second I walked in, I was struck by how loud their coffee grinder was. It wasn't just shut off in a few seconds though, but kept going and going, since the 3rd barista was grinding a HUGE bag of coffee all at once. Within the first minute my daughter wakes up and keeps screaming no matter how much I try to comfort her. After 5 minutes, I ask the barista if she could stop using the coffee grinder as it's disturbing my baby, and she agrees and turns off the machine.

While I'm waiting for my drink, I manage to get my daughter to start dozing again, until the barista turns on the grinder AGAIN, making my daughter cry all over again. At this point I snap at the barista for turning it on when I'm still there, as she can clearly see that she has caused my daughter to cry again. The barista says she was doing something else with the grinder that was more urgent, but could she have really not waited until I left? Anyways, the other baristas were extremely cold to me and didn't even say anything when they gave me my drink.

I emailed the manager when I got home explaining the situation, and today the manager replied and apologized for what happened. In return I got a free gift card. I was telling my husband this thinking he would be excited about the gift card, but he doesn't think I should have emailed the manager at all, and that I overreacted. But the manager agrees that I was wronged here.

"I emailed the manager when I got home explaining the situation?" It's hard to believe people like this exist, honestly. Why did you feel the need to bother this coffee shop manager because you chose to bring your sleeping, cranky baby into a public space during a pandemic? Service industry workers are going above and beyond to keep you safe and you have the audacity to complain to their manager about them simply doing their jobs? Can someone find this woman's social media profiles and drag her through the internet dirt so she gets fired from her job (if she has one)? Internet sleuths with crime podcasts, unite!

Of course, people were eager to deem whether or not she was an "as*hole."

The manager doesn't agree with you. He just gave you the good service speech and a gift card so that you won't harm his business by bitching about it.

If your child is sleeping, it is not the rest of the world's responsibility to keep quiet. It's your responsibility to take your child someplace appropriate for sleeping--which is not the middle of a retail business. - rusty0123

Next time, make coffee at home instead of complaining about workers doing their job. - kira621

Don't go into a place of business with a sleeping baby unless you can deal with the baby waking up. - MulysaSemp

The barista was doing her job. It doesn’t matter if it was urgent or not -it is her job. If you don’t wanna be around noise for your baby, don’t leave your house and enter a public space where there will be noise. You did overreact massively. - Setaralien

You're kidding with this, right? You went into a coffee shop and got upset when they were grinding coffee? This is what happens... in a coffee shop. If the things that happen in a coffee shop are too loud for your daughter, don't take her to a coffee shop. You can't expect the world to be put on hold because you arrived. Your husband was right, you were being awful and the manager was just trying to keep a customer in these hard times and not risk you doing something worse like blasting them on social media. - milee30

So, there you have it! Not a single helpful stranger on the internet thought this woman did the right thing here. If you're going to go to restaurants, bars, or coffee shops during their reopening phase, be extra kind. This woman should be banned, not given a gift card and her husband was 100% correct in his analysis. See ya, Coffee Shop Karen, hope your baby keeps you awake until she's 18!

Black woman confronts racist white lady at police station after she called her the ‘n-word.’

0
0

The world would be an infinitely better place if we could go days, weeks, months, or even years without another viral story of a "Karen" flexing her white privilege in the most destructive way.

Unfortunately, we aren't there yet, so for now - people keep their phone cameras strapped and ready to document the Central Park Karens (aka Amy Cooper) of the world so they can no longer throw their fits without consequences.

The most recent white woman who went viral for racist harassment attempted to file a police report after calling a woman named Jen the n-word.

The video made the rounds on Twitter on Thursday and shows the Karen storm from her car into the police station to make a report.

At the start of the video, Jen pans the camera to reveal the Karen's license plate, and says "here's the idiot who thought it was okay to call me a n***a, come on let's file a hate crime."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for the looting, I'm sorry for everything, what do you want from me? You passed me," the Karen responded emphatically.

When Jen asked the Karen why she thought it was okay to call her the n-word, the Karen responded.

"Because I'm so fed up with this sh*t."

Jen followed her into the police station, asking the Karen what exactly she was going to report.

"I can't take this anymore, I'm trying to move out," the Karen screamed, before turning to the desk clerk.

"She passed me on the left, and I witnessed the lootings, I can't take it anymore," the Karen yelled.

When Jen asked why any of this justified using the n-word and going to the cops, the Karen yelled: "You guys call each other that all the time!"

The video ended with the white woman crying because she was called out, and storming out "to get her purse." Luckily, no actual police report was filed.

It wasn't long before the video spread across Twitter, with people roasting the Karen, but also pointing out how horrifying her logic was.

A few pointed out how bizarre it was that Karen used slurs and got mad at Jen for "passing her on the left" when that's the legal way to pass someone.

More than that, people pointed out how ugly it is to have racism jump out during a regular moment in traffic.

While others focused on the portion of the exchange where Karen said she was "tired," and Jen responded by saying that Black people have been tired for 400 years.

In general, people found it satisfying to watch this woman crumple into herself.

A lot of people really respected the fact that Jen followed through on confronting the Karen, and in doing so, protected herself from a fabricated police report.

It's a good thing Jen documented everything, because this story could have ended very differently if the Karen had lied to the police and sent them after Jen. This is one of the many reasons it's so important to call out racism, it's not just a matter of some people being mean or ignorant, it's often a matter of life and death.

19 people share the most hurtful things they accidentally said and still feel guilty about.

"Think before you speak" is an excellent rule that many of us regularly forget to follow. Speaking without thinking can have pretty disastrous consequences, because words can do a lot of damage—even the ones we didn't intend to be hurtful. And it's not just the person on the receiving end of an accidental insult who suffers. Because guilt often lasts longer than the damage the words inflicted in the first part.

Someone asked Reddit: "have you ever *accidentally* said something so mindblowingly hurtful that it haunted you later?" These 19 people share the times they accidentally hurt someone's feelings that they STILL feel guilty about:

1.) From ClearlyAThrowaway133:

It happened my Freshman year. Three years ago. Back when I thought saying "your mom" as an answer to any question without thinking was the best thing in the world.

Anyway, I was walking to class one day, and talking with my friend Andy. We are almost there, and he stops and says "Oops. I need my math book." I immediately reply "You need YOUR MOM!" He responds with a soft "yeah..." then he turns and walks away, looking the epitome of dejected. I was confused by his response. Why wasn't he laughing at my hilarious joke??

I was sitting in class pondering it when I remember his mom died...of cancer... a week before.

Neither "Guilt" nor "Shame" can accurately describe how I felt/still feel. -cringe-

2.) From Bobbytom:

When I was in 8th grade my papa (Great grandfather) had just passed away. We were at my Nana's house after the funeral and everyone was really sad. I have been a really happy and upbeat person my whole life and still am and wanted to say something to cheer her up. So in front of my whole family after the funeral i said to my nana "Well how does it feel to be single after all of these years?" as a joke. I have never wanted to take back words more in my entire life...

Edit. For anyone wondering my Nana is the best, she knew my heart was in the right place and said something along the lines of "ohhhh honey, I might just go out dancing next week". And for my family half of them ran out the room laughing, the other half stood there in shock. We can all even laugh about it now, it was just that moment when everything went silent and everyone staring at me that still haunts me...

3.) From lalie:

A HS classmate mentioned that her great-uncle and aunt's house exploded. I laughed, because it seemed so absurd to me, and also I laugh when I don't know how else to react.

... They were inside the house at the time.

4.) From Wiseparasite:

I was meeting my dads girlfriend for the second time and her two daughters for the first time. While we were eating cake my dad's girlfriend was showing me a picture of her daughter and a cow. She said "Yeah, she won best of show at the county fair!" I then replied with "Which one, the cow or your daughter?" Did I mention the cake was for her moms birthday? The whole family was there.

5.) From BakulaSelleck92:

Sitting next to my older female cousin as a child. I was probably 6. She was probably 15. Respectively it was true, but I said

"God, your thighs are big!".

I didn't understand why she was crying.

6.) From science_man_29:

This is something I said in 3rd grade in a fit of rage... and I still regret it now (I'm currently in graduate school).

I was arguing with a girl in my class, and I know her father had passed away about a year prior (from illness, I assume, but I can't honestly remember). There was the usual name-calling, and then I said something that still haunts me: "Well, at least I have a father." I didn't realize how hurtful that was until she was bawling. I think I got sent to the principal's office.

I hope she has long forgotten about it. I'm not sure I ever will.

7.) From Samuraibear:

My aunt had scrimped and saved for a baby doll carriage for me when I was 7.

I threw a tantrum because it wasn't wrapped.

I think I apologize every year at least once.

8.) From mexicutioner124:

I was about 11 years old I think and one of the class bullies was being a typical douche to me because I was just eating a hot dog and he said "you like that don't you? You probably like sucking your daddy's dick too!" To which I replied, "well if you had a dad you'd suck his dick!" I don't know if his dad was dead or not, but I knew he was raised by a single mom. I saw tears well up in his eyes a little.

9.) From trav110:

My ex boyfriend was in a wreck a few years back when he lost control of his SUV and rolled it, killing his then GF. We were in a rush to go somewhere one day and as I got in the car he starts driving. While im putting on my seatbelt I absent mindedly say to him something like "Whoaaa there slow down till I get my seatbelt on. What are you trying to kill me?"

Oops.

10.) From paperhearts3:

One day, I was sitting at lunch and jokingly told a guy his haircut made him look like a skinhead.

Turns out he had cancer.

11.) From PipGirl:

When my little brother was 11, he was fairly pudgy. All my other sisters would make fun of him because of it, and he developed a complex about it. I was the only one besides my other brother that said he would grow into it, and he's always looked up to me.

One day when i was visiting, i was talking to my sisters and they made some joke about his weight (i can't remember it now, but it was one of those moments that just makes you laugh involuntary) I kind one of those snorty laughs, and look over towards the front door, and my little brother is just standing there looking at me with the most saddest look on his face. Like the one person he would never expect to participate in teasing him had just done it. That look haunts me to this day, because i love him so much. And even now, that he DID lose all the weight and is fairly confident, i will still remember that crushed look he gave me when he saw me laughing along.

12.) From [deleted]:

When I was younger, my family and I were at some festival and we were supposed to see a performance called "Feats of Strength". We were sitting in the area where it was supposed to happen and this older looking guy came up and started his act. Me, being a young kid, was expecting some young guy throwing around elephants or something. He invited me up to the front to participate in one of his feats. He tore a phone book in half and then held a heavy cast iron candle holder that held like 30 candles above his head with coke cans balanced on it or something. I looked directly at him and asked, "When is the strong guy gonna be here?" I feel so terrible about that now. This guy was like 55 or something and I just feel terrible for saying that. I hope it wasn't depressing for him.

13.) From girlwithhair-ribbon8:

Last christmas day we we're opening presents as a family when my brother got one that was clearly a wrapped up jumper, as a joke he said, 'well what could this be? A dead cat?' The family cat had died 2 days before and he has no idea why he said it. My grandma cried.

14.) From foreveralright:

Yes, back in the fifth grade there was this new girl that transferred to our school into my class. She was a pretty cool person from what I remember, but being the dick I was, I told her one day without provocation, "I wish you never transferred to this school."

I had no idea it was going to be that hurtful, she started crying almost immediately. I don't remember seeing her again after that. Holy Crap I'm sad now.

15.) From chriswilliams54:

I was at my grandmother's house visiting with my family a couple of weeks ago. I was helping her clean out her garage when she told me that I should come live with her. My scumbag brain didn't adjust to family mode and without even realizing it my response was "I'd rather be dead." Like I said, I didn't even realize what I had said until later when my dad brought it up. I felt horrible. Luckily he had explained to her that she wasn't the reason I didn't want to live down there. I was because it's out in the middle of nowhere with no technology, etc.

Fast forward to a couple of days ago and my dad informs me that my grandmother has bought an overpriced laptop off of QVC and is getting the internet installed at her house and it is going to cost her $60 a month. We are only down there around 3-4 times a year.

16.) From Daytman:

When I was a kid (like 9?) my little sister (like 6?) was talking on the phone to my grandma and I stole the phone and told her to kiss my butt. I don't even understand, I loved/love my grandma. I don't even know her reaction because I threw the phone across the room. I don't know why I did that.

17.) From Askura:

Drunk, with some girl that likes me but the feeling isn't mutual, wandering back to my place. The realization kicks in that she doesn't want to just crash round at mine and wants to take things further.

Drunk brain is cool and declares "I got this" and decides to state to the girl. "I'm sorry but I just don't find you physically attractive" as by way of ensuring I get to sleep alone. She bursts into tears and literally runs off. I slept really well that night but upon recalling it I grimace. Got some pretty angry texts from her friends the next day...

18.) From groovemaster:

I used to live with one of my girlfriends. She had confessed to me in the past that one of her biggest fears was that she would develop schizophrenia like her brother, which was a pretty legitimate fear based on genetic predisposition statistics.

In the middle of an argument over something trivial I yelled at something like "you're turning into a crazy bitch". I meant it in the vague sense that her reasoning was silly and didn't make sense, but whatever it was that I said came out like I was saying that she was insane. I immediately realized that what I said sounded bad but it was too late. I've never seen someone look so hurt by a statement in my life.

She's probably forgotten it, but I never will.

19.) From Tehatimmeh:

Sometimes when I'm around my friends I forget to put on my mask and become brutally honest about things. Especially if I'm jealous. I told one of my friends that she was acting like a whore because she was leading on six different guys at once. She cried and I felt like shit.

Later I found out it wasn't really her fault, they were all kind of creepy guys and were way too obsessed with her. She didn't encourage them, really. She was just pretty and nice and they were lonely.

12 obstetricians share the most memorable family drama they saw in the delivery room

0
0

Emotions (and hormones) run high in the delivery room, and as a woman literally births another human being through their body, secrets and relationship dynamics are pushed out in the open as well.

OBs, EMTs, and other people who have either delivered babies or been babies shared stories of dramatic moments that happened during labor. They belong in either a sitcom, or a soap opera.

1. Save it for "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant."

Ambulance officer here.

Got dispatched to "17 year old female, difficult pregnancy. Caller statement: Baby born, didn't know was pregnant. Can't find umbilical cord."

Whooooa boy...

Get there, healthy baby girl born. Mother and grandmother sitting on floor, blood everywhere. Both emotionally shocked. Umbilical cord right where it should be. Grandmother holding baby, outstretches arms and hands me the baby without words while my partner checks out mum.

Grandma comes to me and just says, "I thought she was a virgin!"

Mother had texted grandmother while at work to say "Mum, come home, I've had a baby."

The tension in that room... Holy crap. -Turborg

2. Oh nein.

Not a doctor but security guard outside delivery room. I just remember cracking up (WTF moment) as one lady was screaming she would not have her baby born on Hitler's birthday. -Furzball

3. She has the receipts.

Not a doctor but a fire fighter. Got called for a pregnancy, baby already born. Get on scene and mom and daughter (who just gave birth) are arguing back and forth. Mom summed her argument up best with "I told ya you was pregnant." -Mittens22299

4. The alleged decapitation was just a misunderstanding.

A doctor was delivering the baby via ventouse, a vacuum extraction. He was pulling, and you do honestly have to put some muscle into it, those babies are stuck pretty fast in there sometimes. Anyway, the suction cap came off the baby's head, this happens a lot. The father of the baby thought that the doctor had pulled so hard that he had pulled the baby's head off, so naturally punched the doctor in the jaw, who went straight down to the ground like a felled tree. Much yelling ensued, people holding the father back, him realising that the baby was fine once we pointed out that the head was still inside, unconscious doctor being pulled into a chair, another doctor coming in to do the delivery, the mother crying hysterically.

We had to have a quick and frantic conversation at the midwives' station about whether to allow the father to remain in the room. We decided that from his vantage point it may have appeared that the baby's head had been, uh, removed and that he had a momentary loss of reason. He was also hugely apologetic and took responsibility for his actions. The doctor who got punched took every opportunity afterwards to tell that story as often as possible and we all laughed. -JaniePage

5. Pro tip: Don't bring up your ex in the delivery room. Just don't.

When I was a nursing student doing my OB rotation, a group of us watched our first delivery. There was no time to do an epidural because the baby was ready and he wasn’t waiting.

After the baby’s delivered, the first thing the dad says is "You can rub it my ex’s face that you did it natural."

It wasn’t a huge dramatic thing but everyone in the room just kinda looked at each other. Like buddy, your son was just born and you’re more excited to one up your ex? -NoNotTom_Sawyer

6. The mother still has her umbilical cord attached to the grandma.

Baby Daddy and Baby Grandma are in delivery room. We're setting up the table to deliver and cheerfully ask "okay dad, want to cut the cord?". Baby Daddy loses his sh*t "not if this she devil is in the room" and points to Baby Grandma. They get into a yelling match and meanwhile the patient and I make awkward eye contact and while the nurse and the other resident try to calm them down, we deliver the baby and I cut the cord. -recycledpaper

7. But did he line up all the candies?

Husband was sitting in the corner playing Candy Crush on his wife’s phone whilst she was in labour, up popped a text message saying “does he know that it might not be his?”. Shouting ensued and he walked out and left the unit with her crying. -mzyos

8. Signed, SEALed, delivered.

I was a surgical tech for many years and would be called to help out during C-sections. Saw many dads/significant others almost pass out for one reason or another. First dad that did go down? Navy SEAL. We gave him so much sh*t. The worst was when all his team buddies showed up though, y’all thought hell week was bad! -Pksnc

9. How convenient, breaking a bone in a hospital.

Not a doctor but the delivered baby. My mum squeezed my dad’s hand so hard when giving birth that she broke his finger. The nurses offered to help my dad but he toughed it out and politely declined.

Also when the nurses were telling my mum to push she replied through gritted teeth “I am fucking pushing!”. Strangely they stopped telling her after that. -Katiegan

10. It was the Golden Age of Television.

Not a doctor, but am a person who was born. I was being delivered on a Wednesday in 2000, and the doctor pulled me out as quick as he could so that he wouldn't miss the new Lost episode. He made it. -Ellavadr

11. Papa Hulk, reporting for duty.

Baby Daddy is so excited about the birth. We ask mom if she wants to do skin to skin bonding with the baby. She says yes. We go to put baby on her chest and Baby Daddy rips his shirt off and is stoked to do skin to skin. A for effort dude! -recycledpaper

12. Calling the police in the hospital is a Double 911.

The baby’s father was caught cracking open the anesthesia cart and stealing meds. When police officers came to arrest him, he was sobbing and kept saying over and over “y’all aren’t going to let me see my baby be born?” and the officers were both like um nope should’ve thought about that before. -okitay


18 of the funniest tweets about what will happen when bars reopen.

0
0

Bars and restaurants are slowly starting to reopen with new safety precautions after the lockdown.

After two months of drinking on Zoom Happy hours, though...does anyone remember how to have a normal weekend? Did we get too used to pouring our own cocktails into mugs that the measurements bartenders use will seem like amateur hour? Probably. Bars are meant to be crowded, loud, and intimate places where most bartenders use their bare hands to make drinks and serve food, people often kiss complete strangers, and bathrooms are definitely not the picture of virus-prevention measures. The entire nature of a bar or restaurant seems like a breeding factory for a virus, but with the economy suffering, some states think it might be worth the risk. Friday night in the club with a mask and gloves on? Sounds like a weird vibe, but sure.

Still, these two months have been long. Many of us lost track of what day it was, how to wear real pants, or maintain the jam-packed schedules we were used to. We all might've gotten a little weird after not socializing in real life with our friends, and that includes forgetting how to behave at a bar. Luckily, people haven't yet lost their sense of humor, though.

Here are the funniest tweets we could find from people who are questioning how hanging out at bars again will actually go down.

16 people share stories of Craigslist 'missed connections' that actually worked.

0
0

Is there anything more romantic than leaving a missed connection for a cute stranger you happened upon, and then actually receiving a response?

With the popularity of hookup apps like Tinder and Grinder, the Craigslist missed connections section is largely a ghost town, a memory of years past when people would scroll endlessly to see if anyone wrote about them. But still, missed connections exists, and there are plenty of people who have entertaining memories from the reigning days of that corner of the internet.

In a popular Reddit thread, people shared their missed connections stories - both heartwarming and disappointing.

1. From Tubemonster:

I had always secretly hoped to get one. When it happened, it was anticlimactic to say the least.

It was from a guy I had seen in Target while I was trying to pick out a new bra. He was a rather disconcerting fellow, leering at me out of the shadows of the lingerie racks. He appeared to be several decades my senior and wore a green trench coat.

In his missed connection post, he called me a "pretty little thing" and asserted that we "made eye contact and there was a sizzling connection."

2. From tgunter:

A friend of mine actually met his wife through a missed connection on Craigslist. Mind you, this is a guy who gets 90% of everything he has through Craigslist, Amazon, or Ebay, so finding a spouse on there is not outside the norm for him.

3. From Thud_Gunderson:

My step-brother dressed as Borat for halloween one year, when he was 24-25ish. Not suit borat, but neon-thong mankini Borat. Anyway, at one of his bar stops he met a girl dressed as St. Pauli Girl, who he spent some time talking to but never asked for her number. He posted on MC the next day with the title "Borat searching for his St. Pauli Girl". The post got mentioned by a local radio station the following morning, and within a few days the girl managed to get in touch with him. They met once I think and nothing ever came of it. So with the help of a radio station, it worked out for him.

tl;dr - In conjuction with a radio station, it works.

4. From andtq:

I actually MC'ed the guy I just dated. I'd seen him around town and understood that he and I had a lot in common, but not enough for us to ever conveniently meet. After seeing him downtown, I took my chances and posted a Missed Connection, knowing how bizarre it would come off as.

Luckily, his friends found the posting, recognized it was for him, and he responded. We met for a beer, hit it off wonderfully, and had a good couple months together.

5. From discretion:

I dated a girl for 7 years. We did the long distance thing while we were at different state schools for 5 years, 4 hours apart but making the drive to each other regularly. The last 2 years, we lived together, in a new city where she was doing grad school. We were getting in each other's hair, and we took a break. Got separate apartments, but continued to see each other regularly. Our relationship was getting stronger as we got to know each other in different ways.

One Tuesday evening she tells me there's a missed connection about her on CL from a guy. She tells me about it, and we have a chuckle. Says, "You know, I could use more friends, really. I think I'm going to email him, see how it goes." I'm comfortable enough with myself, her, and the relationship to say, "Go for it, sounds like fun." The next day she says he invited her over for dinner the coming Sunday, and what she should do. She told me, "seems kind of fast... how do I stay in the friend zone?" I explain some of the signals that I would pick up on that the woman's not interested in a romantic relationship, including, "I'm kind of seeing someone right now,"

Fast forward to the following Wednesday. Haven't heard from her since Saturday night. I get a text, "I think I'm going to keep seeing this guy."

This all occurred in February, I presume they're still together.

6. From mandalorianwarrior:

Reddit. You won't believe this. But screw it, this is too cool. Last night, I went to a concert, and my wife and I sat next to a great couple that we hit it off with very quickly. We talked the whole night, and exited the arena at the same time, but in the shuffle of 18,000 people, went our separate ways. Didn't have anything other than names.

Fast forward 15 hours or so. I am at work, sitting on Reddit. I see this post, and am reading it, but not that interested. I love to peruse CL, but had never thought to look in MC. So I pull it up as a whim from this post.

Top post in MC is about us, and the other couple looking for us so we can get together.

To me, the world just became a little smaller. Thanks reddit!

7. From darkbeanie:

Saw a really cute girl at a coffee shop once, while I was there talking to a friend about a project. Her appearance amazed me; she had a certain look going with a cool hat and scarf, and a vintage looking scooter. It all worked really well together. She was there alone reading a book and seemed like a mature, serious minded person. Totally on a lark, I posted a MC and received an email back the next day. Her roommates had seen it and figured out it was her.

She asked a couple questions to confirm who I was, and then never wrote back. I suppose these things only really work for attractive people.

8. From amandalax:

I wrote one about my boyfriend at the time (he was a server at a popular restaurant here) and made it out like a 45 year old man was looking to bag him. He freaked out and was kind of flattered but spent the entirety of his shift searching for this "regular" who I made up.

9. From kchu:

Happened to my close friend, we'll call him (a): (A) Saw a cute girl on the subway in NYC and wrote a missed connection, it was easy, she had a blue cast on her arm. The girl replies and he psyched that it may work out. They mutually decide to each bring a friend along for the meet up, just so it isn't so weird. So (A) brings friend (B) to the date. What happens? The girl is (B)'s EX GIRLFRIEND from a few years ago that (A) never met before.

10. From HiFructoseCornFeces:

I'm sitting in Powell's reading, caffeinating, staring at these goddamn kids walking by on the street, thinking I should submit them all to LookAtThisF*ckingHipster. My friend sends me some humorous text, I laugh, and out of the corner of my eye, I spot Abe Lincoln smiling at me in the window, who totally mistakes my smiling text reaction for a beard+sideburns fetish.

A few days later, I'm curiously skimming Missed Connections, and sure enough, honest Abe had made a post about an "Angel in the Window at Powell's." It was kind of a shameful personal triumph to be the subject of a CL post, but I decided it might be courteous not to leave the poor schmuck hanging.

"Four days and seven minutes ago, you thought I was checking out the sideburns of Burnside. Sorry, I was just laughing at a text message (telegram). Try not to go to any theaters."

11. From I_am_not_me:

I had a MC experience....

A few years ago a friend threw a huge house party. I went there with my GF at the time and eventually noticed a really pretty redhead with huge boobs and a really awesome shoulder tattoo.

"Noticed" is an understatement, I was ogling and staring and my girlfriend noticed. She was so pissed she made a point to make sure that we (as a couple) approached her and talked to her, just so she could watch me squirm and sweat... clearly I was more attracted to this girl than the one I was dating.

My GF and I eventually broke up a few months later and I forgot all about this girl until one night she just came back into my mind and I was obsessed again!

I started by getting in touch with my friend who hosted the party - "Who was that girl..." was the question that no one could answer. He didn't know her (she was a friend of a friend) and no one else that I remembered from the party knew her when I asked.

On a whim, about a year later I decided to post a MC ad describing her physical features and her tattoo, no response. A couple of weeks later I posted another and this time I had a bite! I guy responded "I'm not who you are looking for but I think I know who it is" and proceeded to tell me about this waitress he has seen recently.

<snipping a few days worth of internet research> and I found her working at a bar in the city. I don't like to hit on girls when they are at work but now I had enough info to find her OKCupid profile.

I sent her an OKC message, being very honest about the whole thing "Met you at a party, thought you were gorgeous, couldn't get you off my mind, trying to find you, yadayadayada"

She was flattered so we went out a few times! Nothing came of it, actually she turned out to be sort of crazy, not my type at all.

The kicker is shortly after we decided not to go out anymore she got a new job at my favorite bar and I went from not being able to find her for a year to seeing her several times a week...f*ckin' hell!

12. From daxbranagan:

I was at Penn Station which happens to be underground for those of you not familiar with this NYC train station when I gazed upon the most beautiful woman sitting in a train heading god knows where. I only knew it wasn't my train. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. In an instant she too was looking at me. Until then, I never believed in love at first site.

At that moment saw the train number and whipped out my Iphone to change my ticket. C'mon, C'mon f*cking AT&T. Piss poor reception to begin with in NYC let alone Penn Station. C'mon... god damn it, load...ugh! The train began to move and I could see the disappointment on her face. I was devastated. My only recourse perhaps was to post on MC. I did and I never received a response.

Fast forward 3 months later, I still find myself often thinking of what could've been...popcorn at the movies, our wedding day, her being pregnant with our child, our son's 3rd birthday, our son's piano lessons, walking by the capital and seeing our son become president. Oh the possibilities.

13. From Shart:

A couple of months ago I was out drinking with my roommate's boyfriend. We were at a bar that only served beer and were fancying a whiskey drink, so we wandered down the block to another bar and ordered a couple Red Labels.

Some 6/10 was sitting behind us smoking and overheard something my buddy said. She laughed and he immediately went into wingman mode. She came and sat with us and some other creeper with a mustache sat at another table and kept chatting her up. She looked uncomfortable and when we decided to head back to the other bar she asked if she could come with us. Sure, my buddy says.

So, we head back and have a few more drinks. This girl is clearly into me for some stupid reason, and she's literally grabbing my cock under the bar while we're having some stupid conversation. I'd been in a pretty heavy dry spell so I was all about it. We get a call from some of our friends about a poker game at their house, so I get permission to bring this girl over and she hops in our ride and we go.

Get to the house, pack the bong a couple times and I leave homegirl to step outside and cash in for some chips. I get my $20 in chips just as someone comes in to inform me that the girl is inside losing her shit all over the bathroom. So I go back inside and this girl is just puking her god*mned guts out, completely lost her cool from smoking herb I guess. Me and my buddy have to fireman carry her ass out to the car and can barely keep her coherent enough to tell us where she lives. Him and I carry her inside and get her on the couch, then leave, locking the door behind us.

I'm sitting there realizing how lucky this dumba*s is that we were the ones to take her home when it dawned on me that I hadn't got her number during the whole debacle and she was moving out of state in the next couple of days. I was drunk and figured posting an ad on CL would be the best way to get in contact with her. Posted something along the lines of how she grabbed my cock and then passed out. Lo & behold, she actually found it and had replied by the next morning. She sent me a picture of her titties and said we should try again.

I showed all my friends the picture of her titties and then never called her crazy a*s again.

14. From anonymous154:

I once had a missed connection that someone had posted for me. I was really excited because I'm a craigslist addict and would check missed connections every day hoping to see a post describing me (I used to go out a lot to increase my chances). Well, it finally happened so I emailed the guy telling him that I was the subject of his post. We met up one more time at the club that he had originally seen me at and I gave him my phone number. Soon after I realized he was only looking to get laid so I told him to f*ck off and that was the end of that. Not really successful now that I think about it.

Fun experiment, but ultimately a waste of time.

15. From daftstar:

I did a small impromptu swimwear fashion show.
We had one shared changing room, so ladies went to 1 corner and guys to another. Clever huh?

Anyhow, after the first walk, things are getting way off time and we have literally 45 seconds to get changed into the next getup and back out poolside. Anyhow, I walked in on a gorgeous and super cute girl (who I was already tongue in a twist nervous about) and there she was changing...

I stood there slack-jawed and completely frozen until she looked up at me. I threw on my stuff and hauled ass out of there. After all was said and done, I couldn't find her.

Two days later, I couldn't get her off of my mind. I posted a missed connections, and guess what... one of her friends found the post, and thought it might have been her.

She contacted me...we traded numbers...we met up.

16. From Lollergagger:

Worked for me once. I met a girl briefly at a bar. She was on her way out for a cigarette and I was on my way in. We exchanged some words and she continued on her way out letting me know that she'd be back in a few. Her friend had her purse stolen so they ended up leaving and I didn't see her again that night. I posted a little something on missed connections with what was close to her name (it was very loud at the bar we were at) and some details. She messaged me back and we ended up getting together for a couple of dates.

Another interesting story, I was hanging out with a female friend of mine at a bar and we both started talking to this girl next to us. She was a roller derby girl and at the time I didn't see it but she was interested in my friend. Derby girl never made a move but posted something on missed connections the next day saying something like 'me gusta but I didn't know if you were bangin that d00d.' Made my friend's day finally seeing herself in MC.

People are sharing photos of 'everyday racism' in stores and it's sparking discussion.

The subject of systemic racism has entered the mainstream over the past few weeks following protests across the globe against racially-motivated police violence. But fighting racism is about more than just acknowledging injustice in the criminal justice system. Racial bias is all around us—from our education system to the images we see on screens to the products we're sold. And it's about time we were all talking, tweeting, and posting about it.

Recently, a viral tweet by Jesús A. Rodríguez sparked discussion online after he shared two side-by-side photos of hair products at a supermarket.

One image shows an aisle of products aimed at white people's hair next to a photo of products aimed at black people's hair. The products in the second photo are locked up behind glass. "It’s more than just the police,” he wrote in the caption of the tweet.

Some were confused about the problem with these photos, so people explained how stores treat white and black consumers differently by choosing to lock up some products and not others.

This is not the only example of this type of racial bias in consumerism. Other people are sharing photos they've seen of racism in store displays:

Some people are arguing that this is "not about race," but about certain products getting stolen more often.

This woman made the argument that, even if that's true, this problem is still rooted in systemic racism.

This woman, who worked at a retail store, says her store's policy was "explicitly" racist.

Others are pointing out that white people shoplift from stores just as much as black people, and potentially even more so.

"Everyday racism" in stores doesn't always mean putting certain products behind glass.

It might mean charging less for a black baby doll than an idential white baby doll:

It could also mean overcharging for products aimed at black customers.

Or charging more for products that are in Spanish.

Racial bias in the beauty industry is nothing new, unfortunately, this racist Dove campaign from only a few years ago being a prime example.

Looks like we have a lot of work to do.

'Glee's' Samantha Ware claims Lea Michele tried to have her fired in new in-depth interview.

Recent entertainment reports confirmed what fans have long suspected: that the drama on Glee was nothing compared to the drama behind-the-scenes.

The show's main drama queen was Rachel Berry, played by Lea Michele, and according to her castmates, Michele was hardly acting when she played an entitled attention-hog.

Samantha Marie Ware accused Michele of racist microaggressions and bullying, and more cast members including Amber Riley, Alex Newell, and Heather Morris co-signed the allegations of her being a total a**hole.

In addition to Glee, Ware has starred onstage in "The Lion King," "The Book of Mormon," and "Hamilton." She sat down with Varietyand went into detail about the absolute nightmare that was her glee club experience.

Here's what we learned.

"At that point, we were already past the respect and she was just abusing her power."

Michele was a jerk to Ware from 'day one.'

Ware had just finished recording her first musical number, "Tightrope" by Janelle Monae, when Michele treated her poorly.

“I knew from day one when I attempted to introduce myself. There was nothing gradual about it. As soon as she decided that she didn’t like me, it was very evident,” Ware tells Variety in an exclusive interview. “It was after I did my first performance, that’s when it started – the silent treatment, the stare-downs, the looks, the comments under her breath, the weird passive aggressiveness. It all built up.”

According to Ware, Michele threatened her job in front of a large group of the cast, extras, and dancers.

Ware didn't report the behavior to the studio or network because she did not know that a complaint was an option.

Everyone on set shrugged off Michele's diva behavior.

“Lea’s actions were nothing new, so I guess since it was such a common thing, my case didn’t seem like that big of a deal,” Ware says. “I remember the first day I actually spoke up and unfortunately no one did anything. They just shrugged it off, like ‘That’s her.’ No one was stopping these things, which is an issue because the environment was helping perpetuate this abuse.”

She allegedly treated Ware like a child and threatened to call [Glee creator] Ryan Murphy on her.

Ware was "goofing around" off-camera on set, and while it didn't bother the episode's director, Michele accused her of being disrespectful

"She waited until the scene was over and she stopped in the middle of the stage and did a ‘come here’ gesture, like how a mother does to their child," Ware says.

Michele demanded, "you need to come here right now," and when Ware "politely refused," Michele said she would call Ryan Murphy and have him fire her.

Ware accused Michele of abusing her power.

“When I tried to speak up for myself, she told me to shut my mouth. She said I don’t deserve to have that job,” Ware says. “She talked about how she has reign. And here’s the thing: I completely understood that, and I was ready to be like, ‘This is your show. I’m not here to be disrespectful.’ But at that point, we were already past the respect and she was just abusing her power.”

Ware sees Michele's behavior as product of a system designed to benefit white people.

“Does Lea even know what a microaggression is? I don’t know. All that her apology did was affirm that she hasn’t learned anything. Am I calling Lea a racist? No. Does Lea have racist tendencies? I think Lea suffers from a symptom of living in this world in an industry that is tailored to white people.”
