Walmart tried expanding into Germany 20 years or so back. They gave up pretty quickly. Not a chance. There already were stores with low prices around, but the quality of their wares wasn't compromized. And I think they couldn't treat employees like they were used to, since we have labor laws.
@@KaeYossyes, they wanted their employees to spy on each other, which no one wanted to do. Plus: they would not understand that Germans don‘t like being greeted by a fake smiling person.
For the putting your pet down story, I entirely agree from experiencing the opposite. It was pre-COVID 2020 in the United States and my parents and I (24m at the time) were talking about how the end was nearing. I told them specifically that I was going to be there in person to say goodbye and even before then promised my dog and myself that I would be there. Also, I was in grad school in Chicago and my parents and dog had moved to Tampa, with my dad living in Chicago during the week due to his job. Well, on a Saturday night (probably around 9 or 10 P.M.), my dad calls me and explains that my dog, who among other things was experiencing diabetes and kidney failure, had slipped and was unable to walk. He then said that they had rightfully decided that it was time to put him down. I’m 1200 miles away and I fucking lost it. My heart felt like somebody grabbed it, shattered it with their grip, pulled out every last bit of it, and ground it into dust. I was completely inconsolable. I had to say goodbye over FaceTime and received a call about 12:30 that he was gone. I can truly say that I have not been the same since then. Please, for those of us STUPID enough to be THOUSANDS of miles away from our sweet pets, BE THERE FOR THEM. You’ll regret missing it. I promise you.
I was sadly unable to be there for the 2 dogs that had to be put down. The first one passed away early in the morning (I think it was 4-5 am) we were gonna take him to the vet that day. The second dog we had since before the first one passed away my parents took to the vet without me or my brother cause she was going downhill too fast and making her wait another day or 2 for us to be there would have been too cruel and could have been considered torture for her (not only did she have arthritis which if memory serves me as it’s been a few years. It’s a common problem German shepherd’s have. She was also blind and on a good day she MIGHT hear a loud noise but I think at the end she was completely deaf and those are just the problems she had that I remember. So yeah she would have had to spend more time not knowing that she wasn’t completely alone in the darkness she probably experienced) it’s why if anyone wanted to pet her I made them wait till I brought her to them cause I was worried she’d bite them out of fear and I wanted to avoid that
Sorry I know this is unrelated or maybe it is a little bit but it reminded me of a fake story someone told me at least I believed it was fake about how they were upset that the dog was put down because it accidentally bit their brother so their father put the dog down and then they decided to get very pissy and upset with me when I decided asking questions because the story didn't make sense I wasn't accusing them of lying I was just asking a few things but they called me insensitive and kept calling me an asshole because they didn't like my questions
3:46 FYI for people wondering why Starbucks is so expensive, I have some answers! Source: currently work at Starbucks 1. Ingredients. I know it sounds pretentious, but Starbucks does genuinely care about quality control. In Canada, the seasonal eggnog latte wasn’t served this year bc they’re in the process of finding suppliers of sustainable, free-run eggs for the syrups. And the fruit in the refreshers? That’s real. Freeze-dried to last, but it’s real. 2. Labour. The cost of each drink is calculated based on the cost of ingredients + time spent. It’s why an extra shot of espresso or cold foam cost extra as an add-on, cause it takes us longer to make 3. Employees. Again, it may sound pretentious, but if you can handle a somewhat stressful and busy environment, you’re treated very well. Base pay is above minimum wage with guaranteed raises, and after 3 months you’re eligible for PTO, paid/sick leave, health insurance, tuition reimbursement and discounted buy-in for stocks. They also provide free drinks for employees on breaks and discounts on food. So the $6 you’re paying for a latte is going towards employees in med school, or parents having the opportunity to take time off to care for their sick kid. tl;dr: Starbucks costs a lot, but it’s for good ingredients and paying their employees fairly
Here in Mexico Starbucks is as expensive as in the US or Canada, but workers are paid minimum wage and the drink itself is not really that good. SO I guess in your country there are more regulations or something because if it was up to Starbucks as a company, they'd sere socks water and have slaves :/
@@anapellegrini1764 omg that’s actually awful. I’m sure given the opportunity they wouldn’t treat us as well, and many of the benefits we get are bc they don’t want us to unionize (very strict union labour laws up here). They pay my bills, but a big corporation is still a big corporation - their main interest will always be profit.
@@KaeYoss Yeah, re-reading the comment it does sound a little shill-y. Trust, Starbucks is still a big corp and I wouldn’t be shopping here that often if I wasn’t getting freebies, the comment was just meant to highlight some of the reason why the prices are high. Inflation and greed are just as relevant here, but it’s not the only thing leading to high prices
5:09 Okay, so Friendlies is this New England chain that originated out of Wilbraham, MA. They became very well-known regionally for their ice cream and the success made them decided, “Sure, we’ll add ‘being a Denny’s’ to our list of Services.” The food was fine in the 90s but took a steep decline in quality as the 00s continued on. Now, there’s only a handful and they’re kind of a joke and known for poor quality. I don’t go any more because I waited 40 minutes for a pickup order and when I asked to speak to the manager, she told me she didn’t care. I’ve never been back to one since. Their ice cream (which is what originally put them on the map) is just… okay in my eyes. It’s not like Uhlman’s or Rota Springs, which are widely considered two of the best local ice cream stands in Massachusetts. They just couldn’t keep up quality-wise. Kinda sad to see a local treasure like that sort of die a slow and painful death like that.
I used to have Bank of America. I was a teen to young adult so I didn’t have much money. They started charging you for not having a certain amount in your account. I understand overdraw fees. But charging someone more when they obviously already don’t have a lot? That’s just pure evil. I think they also were going to charge for “inactivity”, like if you didn’t spend or gain money for a month or something they would charge you. So if you didn’t have a job and were trying to save what money you had? Again you get screwed for being poor. From then on I only bank with local credit unions.
Overdraw fees aren't reasonable either. "Oh you're overdrawn by 3 dollars, pay that back immediately or well charge you 35 dollars every day that you don't." Thankfully some banks won't charge you until you're overdrawn by a certain amount but it's still just as evil
This is why I left them as well. When I banked there i think you needed like $500 in there that you couldn’t touch if you didn’t want the charge. It’s like dude that’s my entire paycheck right there and I got bills to pay
6:15 Reminds me of my dentist who refused to give me painkillers as a kid for an extra-tooth removal. Not a removal in addition to another, but the removal of an extra tooth I had grow in before my baby canine that was an enlarged fang-like canine. He said and I quote “Oh he’s a kid, he won’t remember it.” It was also our last visit to him as I hit him in the nuts and yelled “You’re old, you won’t remember it.” And ran out, my mom furious and apologizing.
Pizza Hut story: me and my dad ordered pizza at 6:40 pm, and we waited 30 minutes. Outside the house, a guy got arrested for driving without a license and broken tail light. My dad made a joke saying, "It would be funny if that was the pizza driver." After another 30 minutes 7:40pm, my dad called them, and he was told yes, that was our pizza driver. We now avoid the Pizza Hut delivery system. We did not get our pizza if you were wondering.
Honestly though... I know I won't be able to handle it when my dog's time comes... but you'd better believe that I'll be at his side, regardless of my ugly sobbing. I've loved and spoiled this dog for almost four years now, and he loves me in return, he pesters me until I go to sleep with him every night and gets mad if I try to stay up longer than 2am, he gets incredibly happy and excited when I surprise him by going out back with him in the evenings... I read once that someone said that the happiest time in a dog's day is when you're with them... and I believe that. He'll be happy when his time comes, even if I might not be. He will be loved until the very end, and, well beyond.
~37:00 Had a partner whose roommate was apparently in some religion/cult (idk, don't wanna know) that practiced blood s** as some sorta ritual. "BuT ThEy FoCUseD oN ThE s** pArt," my partner would say, still disgusting regardless. This was made even more clear when I was reluctantly convinced by said partner to fool around in his roommate's room, in which I've found a GIANT BUTTERFLY KNIFE! Noped outta there immediately. The guy was even a "Trysexual" (someone who'll try anything once). I feared even for the safety of the cats in the house given how disgusting that person was. And no, the relationship didn't last long.
My husband was stationed at a tiny outlying unit near the North Sea. One Sargent had a best friend who spent a lot of time with him and his wife. The Sargent and his friend were on different24hr shifts. The “friend” spent the evenings and night with the soldiers wife “to keep her company”. He acted so proprietary around the Sargent’s wife and child(no public demonstrations of affection). It looked off, eventually it was deteriorating that the soldier was intimate with the sergeant’s wife. Command confined the Sargent to Barracks and expedited shipping his family home. Once she was gone command made sure that the Sargent and his “friend” were never at the same place at the same time at least around armed weapons
42:53 my German teacher in school (I went to school in Greece and you can chose between German or French) was also a B. She was sure I was bad at it on purpose, because I’m actually Swedish so therefore I should be better at German apparently… I am multilingual, but I still have trouble understanding German and I just remember single words, because she made me hate studying the language. In Greece, there’s Dimotiko which is from first grade to sixth grade and you learn Greek and English. After that, you go to Gymnasio which is from grade 1 to grade 3 (which in Sweden is grade 7 to grade 9, confusing) and there you keep learning Greek and English but you also learn Ancient Greek and you also have to chose between German and French as a third language. Mind you I already was fluent in Swedish due to being born there. So sometimes it was confusing to me why we had so many languages to learn. And after the Gymnasio you go to Lykio which is another 3 grades, where you also learn Latin. …. But yeah, the point of this comment was to mention that my German teacher somehow expected me to be fluent in German because I spoke Swedish. 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
When I worked at, Discover Card, in collections, there was a Vet who called in to us, & several other creditors that day, he told me, because he had gotten back from deployment in, Afghanistan, & found none of his bills paid; nearly everything was in charge-off, car repo'd, house in foreclosure, because his wife & mom-in-law, were using the thousands of dollars he sent home, for wifey to pay the bills, she was using to pay *her* bills, letting his go to shite, & pocketting the extra money in her separate bank account & giving lots to her mom, too. Because his account was in charge-off, we weren't allowed to discuss anything beyond the past due amount; charge-off department could talk to cardholders but no one else. Since he was deployed though, w/in an hour, his card was returned to open & in good standing, & the wife was removed as an auth user.
For the thing someone tried to correct you on, I study animals for a living. Literally since I was six years old. I have a friend(A) I see as a sister. We balance each other out. While she's a supporter, I will let you know if I think what you said or did was dumb. Anyway, A was playing with my other best friend(B) on his switch, and somehow my third best friend(C) changed the conversation to ducks. I have short term memory, so these won't be the exact words, but this is roughly the gist. A: Where do ducks go during the winter? Me: They fly south. A: Ducks can't fly. Me: Yeah, they can. B: They literally migrate. A: That's like saying chickens can fly. Me: Chickens can fly. But only about as much as peafowls. A: I mean they can't fly as much as other birds. That's like if a fish was able to fly. Because they're aquatic. C: Wait until she learns about flying fish. To make a long story short, she looked it up. Not only did she learn that ducks fly, but geese fly too! Who knew, right? A: That's so weird. It's like a spider or a snake flying. Me to C: Wait until she learns about- A: You're lying. Me: Gliding Snakes. A: So there are no flying spiders? Me to C: Wait until- A: Stop! No! I know you're lying about this one. Me: Yeah, there's no flying spiders that I know of. But they do make parachutes.
I hate being railroaded by GMs. My favorite session as a GM (still talk about it all the time) was when the players teleported to the end of the dungeon, bypassing all the bad guys (who were actually good guys being manipulated), rescued the main good guy, went backwards killing the actual bad guy, and saved everyone. So out of the box thinking and I was proud!
Was in a gifted science class in Jr high and our final projects were PowerPoint presentations on a picked topic. I chose constellations. We went to a science camp for a week near the end of the school year and one night a councilor was presenting constellations. I was excited and sat toward the front of the group. They had that laminated board with a field of stars and Velcro to place the "lines" of the constellations. Well this guy was doing fine until he started trying to place Ursa Major (the whole of the Big Dipper) over something like Sagittarius. I pointed out he was using the wrong piece, and he said no I know what I'm doing, and then proceeded to rotate the constellation over and over trying to get it to fit. My classmates just started saying, dude, listen to him, he's been hyperfocused on these for a year. I feel bad for the guy because I'm sure any 20-something guys just loves being corrected by an 8th grader lol
Story one: I had a similar thing like it when I went to Edinburgh the subway sandwich was delicious but when i came back here in Birmingham I went to the bullring subway area I chose the ham subway with corn lettuce and cucumbers when I ate it I felt nkthing wrong but after a few minutes i felt a weird feeling so i threw the subway sandwich away it was also the sandwich was half eaten
sorry that girl in the non con fetish story is a major reason why that kink is considered not very great because theres an even thinner line between "consensual kink" and "straight up assault" than most other sex even. i hope shes okay now bc my lord.
Kind of relate to Mr. Mainly Fact on the whole Swanson broth thing with those Cascade commercials nowadays. Particularly the one where the woman asks if you know the feeling of having to scrape dirty dishes, turns to the camera, and then smugly says, “I don’t.” She gets under my skin so much that I sometimes feel like asking her about the feeling of her age, because I don’t! We also don’t use our dishwasher, so…
1:58 also lost mine and several of my friends. I worked there for about 4 months they fired me never gave me a reason to why they fired me but what I assumed was I would sit for a good 5ish minutes (because I have back feet) when I finished a big task. One day I was doing the dishes I sat down for a good 2 minute until I realized that we had a lot of customers I got up and helped. But one thing they did say as I was leave is that “we had people complain about people sitting on the table in the back” I was confused because everyone did it. Also fired me in front of customers/a coworker and coworkers friends that would come by a lot and he would just sit there with them and not do any work. Edit: PS they fired me a week before my birthday. 11:00 when I worked at subway we would not change our gloves as much as we should. The only time I changed mine was when I was gonna do something else or I got a lot of sauce on my gloves.
47:10 reminds me of a conversation I had with my friend. My friend was trying to tell me that Odin is Loki's dad and that Odin, Baldur and Thor are brothers. He kept insisting that he read this in a real mythology book. The issue is that not only have I read the eddas but I'm literally Norse pagan. He still got salty over it but eventually admitted he was wrong.
6:50 my dentist story I have very weak teeth. So weak that it’s stupid. They, no joke, disintegrated regularly before I got my adult teeth even though I brushed them almost every day. When I was in 3rd grade, I had to get a tooth pulled. The dental assistant/student/something wasn’t trained in how to use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and they refused to do any numbing more than a local thing they rubbed on to my gums. I felt every moment of that procedure and can still recall memories in 8th grade. We never went to that place ever again. Until 5th grade, I couldn’t sit in a dentists chair without having a meltdown (events not helped by my neuroatypicality). I’ve since relaxed with dentists because of how many fillings I have to get, but fuck Monarch Dental.
Call of Kevin (Cthulhu). 🤣 It seems like OP is willing to play along with his fiance's fantasies for right now. It could be a harmless release of stress and she seems like she's got him playing along with it.
57:50 all of the private schools went to actually cared about my education (at least a little), the teachers are willing to help. But OP lives in a different area, but I am glad OP is doing well My private elementary absolutely cared more about appearance than anything else, all because the principle (still is) was a librarian, and the school is dipping in quality, and I can't be any happier.
The Merchant Marine and the sweet Catholic lady 🥺 I freaking love it! My husband also has the pregnancy thing....at first I was uncomfortable but it's helped as my body has changed while growing our child. My body issues aren't nearly as bad as they were when I first started showing.
It's so easy to make chicken broth, too! Youu can buy a rotisserie chicken, take off as much meat from the bones that you can and put the bones in a stockpot. Add enough water to cover the bones plus an extra 2 inches of water. Cover the stockpot with its lid and let it simmer overnight. For extra flavor, you can add onion peels and garlic peels (the thin skin on them that you generally toos in the garbage). You can also add any dripping from the chicken! In the morning, strain out the bones, peels, etc from the broth and BAM! Amazing chicken broth for cheap. Like grandma made.
35:23 - Orgasms actually are a great pain reliever, especially in opiate w/drawal, like I was in, a few days ago. Unfortunately, once the O wears off, the pain/ickiness pops right back in
i’m happy most of these are abt the places, not the actual brand bc this is a hour long video. If that were that many brands that were awful i’d cry fr.
TTRPG story: My boyfriend, and his whole group of friends play DnD every weekend. One day, my boyfriend, Chris, DMs, the other day, a friend of his, Cody, DMs. I am told, before I met Chris, and by extension, all if his friends, that Cody used to DM exactly the way you explained in that TTRPG story. Chris told me it got so bad, that Cody just started tell players to draw a "Pentalty Card" if players did anything that Cody didn't like. Later, Chris told me people stopped showing up to Cody's campaign. Then, they were hosting DnD nights at Cody's place. Cody apperantly blamed peoples absences on Chris, and essentially told Chris that people need to start showing up Cody's campaign nights, or Chris wouldn't be allow to host HIS campaign night at Cody's house. My wonderful, crayon-eating boyfriend, never thought to host DnD at his house, where there not only is a LOT more room, there is less stress, and people enjoyed his campaign more ;)
Kinda funny military story from a military brat (birth - 18) So one of my military big brothers decided to show off his decided to stop by and show off his new car. He was so excited he forgot a few key points. His new car was a black SUV, it was inspection day for his dress blues so he was all dressed up, and most importantly my dad was deployed. Me and my siblings where playing out front when we see a big, shiny, black SUV pull up and we scramble into the house in a panic. Every military kid who is old enough knows what I means if a black SUV stops at your house when a parent is deployed. My mom steps out on the porch and sees a man step out of the black SUV dressed in full dress blues. She loses it and starts sobbing, we are in the house crying, my sister with epilepsy goes into a stress induced seizure (not the flop on the floor like a fish out of water kind). It’s a mess. Seeing my mom in distress my big brother thinks the worst and sprints to her, grabbing her just as she collapses. Just as the lightbulb appears over his head my mom punches him in the shoulder (the only part she could really reach). He apologized profusely to everyone, and was made to hold my sister and explain things as she came out of the seizure, and had to explain to my father what happened. It’s funny now, but it really wasn’t then.
I forget what restaurant it was I went to, but I remember having to use their bathroom at some point and I went in there, did my business, came out to wash my hands and saw a sign posted that said "Dear Employees, please remember to "Wash you hands" before returning to work." in quotation marks. And I sat there feeling sort of stumped and confused for a few minutes because... usually when something is in quotations, it's meant sarcastically. It wasn't the entire note, it was just the "Wash your hands" that was in quotations, so... I briefly questioned the service of that place
I promise you if an NCO or officer says any order to you while you’re in the civilian world. You still have to comply. The UCMJ applies everywhere. Shitty but true.
47:42 Norse is my religion and that person sounds so stupid. Ragnorok is the end of the world and Jormungandr is a very maybe also you did pretty good Mr. Mainly Facts
Not so much a story, and I didn't stop using the brand over this, but more of a matter-of-fact scenario: Has anyone tried coffee flavored ice cream? I haven't, but thanks to the following paragraph below, I've probably lost the tastebud lottery for it.; Oreo has made a lot of flavors over the years, and they've all been amazing, but one flavor in particular stands as the odd one out. There were these javachip (another word for coffee) flavored ones and at first I believed "What could I possibly lose from buying this?", and I was in for a shockingly vague answer when I tried to eat one. They smelled nice, but they taste absolutely AWFUL! They were so bad that even my coffee-loving aunt didn't like them either. So I threw out the whole container and the cookies that remained, and from there, completely avoided that particular flavor. Although we must've got our wish of the javachip flavor being discontinued because I never found it anymore. More or less quick update: I did a few days ago found a brand I WON'T buy a second time: a sparkling water brand called Spindrift. Great concept but it tastes awful (not at all similar to the Javachip Oreos) and has a vile aftertaste. I think if they aren't gonna use sweeteners, they should rethink using real fruit to make their product
Man, lots of folks having issues with Pizza Hut. I know the feeling. Similar story to #6, for me: ordered pizza with my older sister from the PH location nearest to our house. Time goes by, our food should definitely have arrived by now, so I call and casually ask about it. They say it's out for delivery and should be there anytime. We wait a little longer, my sister's friend shows up to hang out with us. Soon it's been an hour and a half, and still nothing. I call again, nobody answers. So I drive down to the place myself and see a CROWD of people all waiting to talk to the manager because they were having issues with their food too. I get up to the manager and tell her about the issue; this woman then argues with me, saying that her driver showed up to the house and nobody answered. I tell her, "that's not true; myself, my sister, and at least one other person have all been at my house waiting for well over an hour and not once has anyone come to our door. Idk if your driver went to the wrong place or something, but I know he didn't come to MY house." After a bit more arguing, she comps my order, calls the driver and clarifies our address with him. (Never did find out if it was the wrong address he went to or not. And it wasn't like we lived in a hard-to-find place or way outside of town; my house is literally on one of the most often-used streets in the city.) Says he should be there soon and our food will be free for the inconvenience. No apology for the wait, nor for yelling at me or implying I was a liar by arguing with me. I go home. We wait another HOUR. Dude finally shows up and gives me the food and a half-assed apology for the wait. Needless to say, I did not give him a tip. The pizza was ice-cold, and not at all what we'd ordered. But by that point we were too fed up with the situation and too hungry to care, and at least it was free, so we ate it anyway. Never went to that particular location again; they later closed and a new one opened elsewhere in town under different management.
basically at the end where it talks about "the small things are the part that the artist spent more time on" i'm a sound engineer, i have a good decade or so of knowledge in the field and work a lot, and when people listen to music and no one ever talks about "how well the instruments sound together", despite that being a painstaking task that can take literal hours on end to figure out on issue of
On that first military spouse story: I was coached by my dad's new girl friend to accuse my mom and her whole family of SA. I was 3 years old. To this day my entire mother's side of the family blame ME for "ruining their lives." A lifetime of emotional and mental abuse because some b wanted child support out of mom but to not have to deal with visitations. I am now NC with all of my mother's side of the family and LC with my dad. Not military related but please for the love of children do not put them in that position. It's just effed up and selfish.
One time we went to olive garden, made it very clear she's allergic to onions, and they served it with onions. This was a dish where it wasn't really noticeable so my mom's throat started closing up, she quickly ran to the car for the benadryl and was then told she couldn't come back in because it's past 10 now. My other mother threw a fit, rightfully so.
That BoA experience is absolutely terrible. I had the exact same thing with HSBC. Dipositrd a few grand in cash, no receipt ilor acknowledgement. Told the clerk and they apologised and said they woild just have to do a quick check of money in versus the documented money in and would get me sorted ASAP. Took them like 10 mins and they logged the money in my account immediately no issues. I couldn't even remember exactly how much money it was tbh so said just over 2 grand and they confirmed the exact amount. Easy peasy. But then this was in the UK and i was in no rush or anything and wasn't mad
1. Apple: they haven't done anything interesting or different since the iPhone 4S. 2. Subway: I stopped eating there after I had Jersey Mike's for the first time. Also watch Arin from Game Grumps complain about Subway, it is so funny.
55:02 They meant that they were being paid while showering, as it was part of the job of wading in the poop pool. The guy basically got paid for doing what they would have done regardless of whether or not they were paid while showering.
My dads story from the military. He and a friend apprehended a female shoplifter at the Base Exchange...who turned out to be the Base Commander's wife. B.C. was not happy with Dad and friend. Later, my dad wanted to transfer to Charleston SC, but found out B.C. was the B.C. there now. Which is how my dad ended up at teeny tiny Union Cross Air Station.
Army vet here, not wife but was my girlfriend. I had been sending her letters cause no phone till end of phases. Three weeks are a phase where we learn the basic of being a soldier. Well I was on limited time on my phone, got on facebook to see a friend had messaged me with proof that my girlfriend had had a train ran on her. I dumped her and the toy bear I bought for her and her letters to me went to the demo range, I was a combat engineer so we learned how to use explosives, and I proceeded to blow that bear and her letters into fine mist. After boot and job training I hooked up with her sister, then on my first time home I hooked up with her brother. All just to get back at her. She and I are now friends and laugh at how immature we were.
My sister and I worked as servers at a local mexican restaurant. One of my sister's tables told her make sure no onion on the burrito due to allergy. Sister puts no onion food allergy in 2 different places on the order ticket. Another server brings out the food but hands my sister the kitchen portiin of the ticket. She goes and checks on the table. Onions are in the burrito. Sister goes back to kitchen and asks for remake and absolutely no onions. Food allergy. Second time my sister delivers the food and asked customer to check. Again, onions in the burrito. She goes back to the kitchen yet again. This time she also goes to the back of house manager. Tells him what's up. He literally asked my sister, "What do you want me to do?" She told him, "How about you do your job and make sure the issue is fixed and you are comping the meal." He did exactly that. Next day she tells the GM. We quit not long after.
Alaska does have the midnight sun phenomenon in the summer months, BUT the younger cousin was also semi-correct about Alaska being frozen year-round and never thawing. Nearly 85% of Alaska has permafrost, which is a frozen layer below the surface (frost) that NEVER melts (or at least shouldn't but who knows with global warming...). And if that's what was meant because they didn't say the cousin said "ice" specifically, they whoever made that post didn't do that good of a job researching Alaska. Just because I place gets a lot of sun doesn't mean there can't be ice or permafrost, especially when it is freezing 8/12 months in the year. I mean both poles also get the midnight sun phenomenon for 6 months, and no one would argue that there's ice all year in the Arctic, considering it is literally just the world's largest ice sheet. There isn't actually any real land mass, just ice and some military bases. Antarctica has land mass but no military bases, but yes to the year-round freezing.
Never get tuna from anyplace unless you know you can trust it. My mum worked as a waitress at a now defunct franchise. She was nice enough to check if it was good first and if she knew it was bad would try hint to the customer that they wanted something else. Every place she worked at the tuna salad was always the most iffy thing. It's sold premade i large containers and rarely sells well enough to be run dry before it goes bad. Scummy managers trying to get every cent will refuse to just throw it out.
I took Japanese in an American school, I am half Japanese and half Korean, I speak both languages fluently but because most of the transfer students at the school were Korean I spoke Korean with them and most assumed I was also a Korean transfer student. The teacher tried to correct my pronunciation quite often, I didn't really care, the tests were all written so I had no issues with the easy a but the teacher found out from my host family during a parent teacher conference that I was a Japanese transfer student not a Korean transfer student. He never corrected me again. for reference the school i went to only offered Japanese and Spanish language courses, but the year I started the Spanish teacher was on maternity leave so it wasn't available that year.
On the subject of pets dying, i think it's important that if you have other pets, you allow them to smell and see the passed-over pet so that they understand what has happened. I think this helps majorly with pet anxiety else you just take a poorly pet away and they never come back. Their poor buddy doesn't understand what has happened. You can't sodding explain it to them so let them smell the body so they also have closure.
When I was about 8. I had a dentist drop a drill in my mouth. It sliced part of that skin under my tongue that attaches to the bottom of you mouth. The dentist put it a few stitches and told me not to tell my parents. I have avoided dentists since. Some I have gone to are fine ... I just hate going.
Bruh, the dentist i had when i was a kid messed me up when it comes to anything tooth related. Novacaine (the numbing agent they inject in your cheek) doesn't work on me, my dentist didn't believe me and just said i was nervous, i had 3 teeth pulled and a root canal without anesthetic. I eventually just learned to mentally disassociate with the pain and go into a mix of passed out and being paralyzed Even booking cleanings as an adult is nerve wracking
I was not there, not even sure if I had met the person who told me this before this story. I have a hidden disability called dyspraxia and I have a social group of people who also have it. A laymans term I have heard for dyspraxia to which I think sums it up perfectly (well in my case) was that it was like my body was dyslexic (can read and write (well not always in a way people can read) but the way my brain handles speech, physical movements, hand/foot eye coordination among other things is a little screwy.) Anyway this group had started as being part of a charity that one of my friends in the group was working for at the time and would go to various functions, conferences and events with raising awareness, campaigning and fundraising in mind etc. To say these events were occasionally misinformed or had booked speakers who didn't know what they needed to know about their audience was an understatement. Dyspraxia can also overlap with autism and many of us can be incredibly fussy eaters when it comes to certain kinds of textures. My friends have gone hungry cause that hadn't been considered. But I have also heard of one speaker representing, ok I forgot who they worked for but let's just say it was one of the UK government departments for disability, unemployment or something along those lines. My friends grilled him mid speech on what he was saying and how he was getting everything wrong. And he pretty much refused to listen. Yeah no one understands their neuro diversity and/or hidden disability more than a well read person with the condition itself. Take that last minute Google search.
TL:DR: UK government rep for disability or unemployment (I forgot which) during a public speech on both and neuro diversity... Didn't know crap about the subject and tried lecturering those who did because they had such conditions as if he was a trained expert. And got called out on it.
Famous people with Dyspraxia include Mel B, Daniel Radcliffe and maybe Harry Potter too. Well that was a claim JK Rowling made when Daniel Radcliffe started to open up on the subject that she had always envisioned Harry Potter having such a condition anyway. But this was when Dumbledore was revealed to be gay and she was saying other unwritten backstories and other things she has since backtracked on.
Left handed person here. I can attest to the claim that left handed people do NOT make up 50% of the population. It is closer to 10-12%. The reason: this is a regressive gene in our biological makeup, like having red hair or green eyes (not that I have either of those physical traits). Some people are just mentally hardwired to rely more dominantly with the opposite hand, well, from what is considered to be normal. My third grade teacher was also left handed, and she would regularly comment on mine, how I would write, do artwork, and even how I would play sports. She was, in fact, VERY insistent on trying to get me to try using my right hand for certain things; performing handshakes, specifically. Her goal (aside from teaching me I guess), was to basically go against my 'norm' and encourage me to shake her hand at third grade graduation before I moved on to middle school. I am proud to admit that she was successful in that goal. Mrs. Robinson's methods were strange, but oddly effective. She was also a pretty good teacher, who I think back upon rather fondly.
walmart. never again will i willingly go into a walmart. i went in in search of the movie "whiplash" they asked around on their radios and kept calling it "splash" repeatedly. then i just asked for them to point me to the DVD section and they walked me to the TV stands and walked away. this one did not have a DVD section but instead of telling me, they jerked me around for an hour.
Actual Alaskan here lol. I'm in south central Alaska and it's definitely not an icy hellscape all year round thank God. It actually gets hot as hell here in the summer cuz we are closer to the sun
I’m a vet tech and worked veterinary ER. If you don’t stay there for with your dog for euthanasia they look for you. Please please please stay for the euthanasia unless you really cannot mentally handle it. You should still know your dog is very confused and wonders where you are. We will give them treats during the euth as a distraction but it always hurt seeing a dog watch their owner walk away as we wheel/walk them to the back. Please stay if you can. Your dog will probably miss you if you don’t.
My nephew bit right through his tongue, (30+yrs ago) aged 3-4 he was a prem baby and small. I had to take him and his mums bf to the A&E. He yapped all the way there and while waiting for the doctor. But when it came time to see the doctor,he wouldn’t open his mouth. They gave him glycerin lollipops to clean his tongue. We came home to his Grans house and he was asking for salt and vinegar crisps. My mum said they will hurt his mouth, he was adamant he wanted the crisps. He ate them, his brother ate the lollipop.😅story 2, Aged 5 same nephew was bouncing on his bed and fell splitting his head, it was a male nurse who saw to his paper stitches, he kept saying what a big boy he was being. After he offered my nephew a lollipop. I said to my nephew now tell him your age, “5” he says. The guy was shocked and asked if he was at school, he says yes. He was wearing age 3-4 clothes. 😅
So-called "child dentists" are the WORST. NEVER I remember the glee on that woman's face as she forcibly held my mouth open for a CLEANING. I'm that one patient at the dentist that gets praise because I'm calm and only need reminders when my jaw tenses
Walmart. I was supposed to be at the El Paso Walmart when the shooting occurred. I was going to pick up a mini fridge from the Best Buy across the street and I needed shower curtains so I was going to pick them up there. What kept me from there was my alarm went off and I decided to be lazy and not go that morning. When Robert O'roeik decided to build an anti gun platform out of the bodies, before the had even gotten cold, I had to keep myself from driving to the hospital he was campaigning outside of to beat him. When Walmart joined him in blaming the gun instead of the gunman, I stopped purchasing from them. All these years later, they have not gotten one red cent from me. I wish that I could take back my decision to be lazy that morning. I wish that I had been there if only it had been to save one life. I am an army medic, trained in combat medicine. This remains my greatest regret.
How many of these stories just reminded me of something that happened at KFC or when my parents order from KFC in the local village where we lived? Will my parents still live there? I don't live there anymore. Anyways we ordered KFC one night because we had some extra money that we had saved up and so where are you going to order a bucket and so we called up the number. We ordered the bucket right and we waited. They said it would be done in like I think they said something like 30 minutes 30 minutes to an hour and we wait it for 30 minutes to an hour and he didn't have it ready. So we called again. Mom put all her information through and then they told us that they weren't going to deliver to us because we were outside their jurisdiction of where they will deliver to. And the truth of the matter is we are literally in the middle of that town where my parents still live and these people were so lazy that they decided they weren't going to take our order even though they had previous to taking it and then they changed their mind. Then they changed it to saying oh no, we're closing now even though they were supposed to be open until 9:00 and at the time my mom was calling it was like 7:30ish. Anyways, that KFC didn't last long in the village because a lot of people didn't like how they were doing things The new restaurant there is doing quite well though
It may not be a rule anymore, but officers and higher enlisted 20 years ago were the last in line. Be it McDonald's after jumping into Grafenwoehr or heading to the chow hall in a large group. Making sure troops are fed is high on the priority list in the infantry.
Ya, Subway and KFC are 2 places that gave me food poisoning EVERY SINGLE TIME I ate there, no matter what location in what town. I think it's just their food safety practices or lack thereof.
Took my nephew to the dentist to get a filling and first,they informed me they didn't want me in the room with him and I said,"Okay." I wasnt' happy. The dentist came out a bit later and said my godson bit her. I asked if she needed me and she said no. At one point,she came out again and said she was filling his tooth and he'd be out soon. A few minutes later he comes out. He's crying. He's got blood trickling from his mouth and I looked at his tooth and could see no difference. "It wasn't a cavity. " she said. "It was a calcium deposit." I was shocked. "You tried to fill a calcium deposit?" She said he'd bit her twice,he had been difficult and I could grab a napkin to clean his face. Later on that night I was sitting on the couch and my nephew walked up to me. "My mouth hurts." he said. (He was 3.) I asked him if the medicine the doctor gave him stopped working. "She didn't give me anything." he said and started to cry. "Wait." I said,and went to grab some Tylenol for kids,and pulled him into my lap. "Dr. didn't give you anything when she was working on your mouth." He shook his head. I gave him Tylenol,read him a story and put him to bed. The next day I called her office and chewed her out. "NOW I KNOW WHY HE WAS DIFFICULT AND WHY HE BIT YOU!!! YOU DIDN'T GIVE HIM ANYTHING FOR PAIN AND YOU FILLED AN F'N CALCIUM DEPOSIT?!" We never took him back and I'm glad Kool Smiles got shut down.
When I was little, a first tooth hadn't come out properly so my paedragged me to the dentist. He pulled the tooth out and I bit him full force. He was pissed. My parents changed dentist afterward because they were so embarrassed.
The whole kids swearing thing, I never swore as a kid but there were times when I’d almost swear because someone swore right before and I’d feel compelled to repeat it if we were talking about the same topic together. Might be an OCD compulsion as I am OCD and have the counting behaviors and intrusive thoughts among other things
Firehouse Subs. I went in there to try them out. I watched as the young woman made my sub and when it came to the meat, she was ripping the meat, until she got the exact weight on the scale!! I am like WTH???? Using a bloody scale and tearing the meat in order to get the exact weight? I paid for my 'exact' weight sub and never went back. I thought they used already pre-measured meats....SMH.....Yes, the bits and pieces of meat was added back to the meat container.
There is a particular Wendy's that me and my husband will never go to again because we have both contracted food poisoning from there. It wasn't just us it was also my SIL and her family and my MIL who ate from there another time prior. It was so bad I had to stay out of work and I was fired for missing too many days. Turned out that one Wendy's has several complaints against them for employees not washing their hands. Never again
I will likely never buy anything from Walmart or target. this is because I live in Spain and those stores don't exist in my area.
A fellow spaniard I see?
And same, most of this brands don't exist in the part of Spain I'm from
Not what i expected
😂😂
Walmart tried expanding into Germany 20 years or so back.
They gave up pretty quickly. Not a chance. There already were stores with low prices around, but the quality of their wares wasn't compromized.
And I think they couldn't treat employees like they were used to, since we have labor laws.
@@KaeYossyes, they wanted their employees to spy on each other, which no one wanted to do. Plus: they would not understand that Germans don‘t like being greeted by a fake smiling person.
For the putting your pet down story, I entirely agree from experiencing the opposite. It was pre-COVID 2020 in the United States and my parents and I (24m at the time) were talking about how the end was nearing. I told them specifically that I was going to be there in person to say goodbye and even before then promised my dog and myself that I would be there. Also, I was in grad school in Chicago and my parents and dog had moved to Tampa, with my dad living in Chicago during the week due to his job. Well, on a Saturday night (probably around 9 or 10 P.M.), my dad calls me and explains that my dog, who among other things was experiencing diabetes and kidney failure, had slipped and was unable to walk. He then said that they had rightfully decided that it was time to put him down. I’m 1200 miles away and I fucking lost it. My heart felt like somebody grabbed it, shattered it with their grip, pulled out every last bit of it, and ground it into dust. I was completely inconsolable. I had to say goodbye over FaceTime and received a call about 12:30 that he was gone. I can truly say that I have not been the same since then. Please, for those of us STUPID enough to be THOUSANDS of miles away from our sweet pets, BE THERE FOR THEM. You’ll regret missing it. I promise you.
I was sadly unable to be there for the 2 dogs that had to be put down. The first one passed away early in the morning (I think it was 4-5 am) we were gonna take him to the vet that day. The second dog we had since before the first one passed away my parents took to the vet without me or my brother cause she was going downhill too fast and making her wait another day or 2 for us to be there would have been too cruel and could have been considered torture for her (not only did she have arthritis which if memory serves me as it’s been a few years. It’s a common problem German shepherd’s have. She was also blind and on a good day she MIGHT hear a loud noise but I think at the end she was completely deaf and those are just the problems she had that I remember. So yeah she would have had to spend more time not knowing that she wasn’t completely alone in the darkness she probably experienced) it’s why if anyone wanted to pet her I made them wait till I brought her to them cause I was worried she’d bite them out of fear and I wanted to avoid that
Sorry I know this is unrelated or maybe it is a little bit but it reminded me of a fake story someone told me at least I believed it was fake about how they were upset that the dog was put down because it accidentally bit their brother so their father put the dog down and then they decided to get very pissy and upset with me when I decided asking questions because the story didn't make sense I wasn't accusing them of lying I was just asking a few things but they called me insensitive and kept calling me an asshole because they didn't like my questions
3:46 FYI for people wondering why Starbucks is so expensive, I have some answers! Source: currently work at Starbucks
1. Ingredients. I know it sounds pretentious, but Starbucks does genuinely care about quality control. In Canada, the seasonal eggnog latte wasn’t served this year bc they’re in the process of finding suppliers of sustainable, free-run eggs for the syrups. And the fruit in the refreshers? That’s real. Freeze-dried to last, but it’s real.
2. Labour. The cost of each drink is calculated based on the cost of ingredients + time spent. It’s why an extra shot of espresso or cold foam cost extra as an add-on, cause it takes us longer to make
3. Employees. Again, it may sound pretentious, but if you can handle a somewhat stressful and busy environment, you’re treated very well. Base pay is above minimum wage with guaranteed raises, and after 3 months you’re eligible for PTO, paid/sick leave, health insurance, tuition reimbursement and discounted buy-in for stocks. They also provide free drinks for employees on breaks and discounts on food. So the $6 you’re paying for a latte is going towards employees in med school, or parents having the opportunity to take time off to care for their sick kid.
tl;dr: Starbucks costs a lot, but it’s for good ingredients and paying their employees fairly
Here in Mexico Starbucks is as expensive as in the US or Canada, but workers are paid minimum wage and the drink itself is not really that good. SO I guess in your country there are more regulations or something because if it was up to Starbucks as a company, they'd sere socks water and have slaves :/
@@anapellegrini1764 omg that’s actually awful. I’m sure given the opportunity they wouldn’t treat us as well, and many of the benefits we get are bc they don’t want us to unionize (very strict union labour laws up here). They pay my bills, but a big corporation is still a big corporation - their main interest will always be profit.
I totally believe you, person who in mo way is shilling for starbucks
@@KaeYoss Yeah, re-reading the comment it does sound a little shill-y. Trust, Starbucks is still a big corp and I wouldn’t be shopping here that often if I wasn’t getting freebies, the comment was just meant to highlight some of the reason why the prices are high. Inflation and greed are just as relevant here, but it’s not the only thing leading to high prices
Well thank you for that knowledge. I think I know where I’m getting a job when I’m able to do so-
5:09
Okay, so Friendlies is this New England chain that originated out of Wilbraham, MA. They became very well-known regionally for their ice cream and the success made them decided, “Sure, we’ll add ‘being a Denny’s’ to our list of Services.” The food was fine in the 90s but took a steep decline in quality as the 00s continued on. Now, there’s only a handful and they’re kind of a joke and known for poor quality. I don’t go any more because I waited 40 minutes for a pickup order and when I asked to speak to the manager, she told me she didn’t care. I’ve never been back to one since.
Their ice cream (which is what originally put them on the map) is just… okay in my eyes. It’s not like Uhlman’s or Rota Springs, which are widely considered two of the best local ice cream stands in Massachusetts. They just couldn’t keep up quality-wise. Kinda sad to see a local treasure like that sort of die a slow and painful death like that.
I used to have Bank of America. I was a teen to young adult so I didn’t have much money. They started charging you for not having a certain amount in your account. I understand overdraw fees. But charging someone more when they obviously already don’t have a lot? That’s just pure evil. I think they also were going to charge for “inactivity”, like if you didn’t spend or gain money for a month or something they would charge you. So if you didn’t have a job and were trying to save what money you had? Again you get screwed for being poor.
From then on I only bank with local credit unions.
Overdraw fees aren't reasonable either. "Oh you're overdrawn by 3 dollars, pay that back immediately or well charge you 35 dollars every day that you don't." Thankfully some banks won't charge you until you're overdrawn by a certain amount but it's still just as evil
This is why I left them as well. When I banked there i think you needed like $500 in there that you couldn’t touch if you didn’t want the charge. It’s like dude that’s my entire paycheck right there and I got bills to pay
6:15 Reminds me of my dentist who refused to give me painkillers as a kid for an extra-tooth removal. Not a removal in addition to another, but the removal of an extra tooth I had grow in before my baby canine that was an enlarged fang-like canine. He said and I quote “Oh he’s a kid, he won’t remember it.” It was also our last visit to him as I hit him in the nuts and yelled “You’re old, you won’t remember it.” And ran out, my mom furious and apologizing.
Pizza Hut story: me and my dad ordered pizza at 6:40 pm, and we waited 30 minutes. Outside the house, a guy got arrested for driving without a license and broken tail light. My dad made a joke saying, "It would be funny if that was the pizza driver." After another 30 minutes 7:40pm, my dad called them, and he was told yes, that was our pizza driver. We now avoid the Pizza Hut delivery system. We did not get our pizza if you were wondering.
Honestly though... I know I won't be able to handle it when my dog's time comes... but you'd better believe that I'll be at his side, regardless of my ugly sobbing. I've loved and spoiled this dog for almost four years now, and he loves me in return, he pesters me until I go to sleep with him every night and gets mad if I try to stay up longer than 2am, he gets incredibly happy and excited when I surprise him by going out back with him in the evenings... I read once that someone said that the happiest time in a dog's day is when you're with them... and I believe that.
He'll be happy when his time comes, even if I might not be. He will be loved until the very end, and, well beyond.
~37:00 Had a partner whose roommate was apparently in some religion/cult (idk, don't wanna know) that practiced blood s** as some sorta ritual. "BuT ThEy FoCUseD oN ThE s** pArt," my partner would say, still disgusting regardless. This was made even more clear when I was reluctantly convinced by said partner to fool around in his roommate's room, in which I've found a GIANT BUTTERFLY KNIFE! Noped outta there immediately.
The guy was even a "Trysexual" (someone who'll try anything once). I feared even for the safety of the cats in the house given how disgusting that person was.
And no, the relationship didn't last long.
My husband was stationed at a tiny outlying unit near the North Sea. One Sargent had a best friend who spent a lot of time with him and his wife. The Sargent and his friend were on different24hr shifts. The “friend” spent the evenings and night with the soldiers wife “to keep her company”. He acted so proprietary around the Sargent’s wife and child(no public demonstrations of affection). It looked off, eventually it was deteriorating that the soldier was intimate with the sergeant’s wife. Command confined the Sargent to Barracks and expedited shipping his family home. Once she was gone command made sure that the Sargent and his “friend” were never at the same place at the same time at least around armed weapons
Chipotle. Same reason as story 1. I got Chipotle and didn't even make it outside the restaurant before I puked it all up in a trash can.
Food poisoning takes at least 12 hours to develop. You puked up what you just ate, but that's not what made you sick.
42:53 my German teacher in school (I went to school in Greece and you can chose between German or French) was also a B. She was sure I was bad at it on purpose, because I’m actually Swedish so therefore I should be better at German apparently… I am multilingual, but I still have trouble understanding German and I just remember single words, because she made me hate studying the language. In Greece, there’s Dimotiko which is from first grade to sixth grade and you learn Greek and English. After that, you go to Gymnasio which is from grade 1 to grade 3 (which in Sweden is grade 7 to grade 9, confusing) and there you keep learning Greek and English but you also learn Ancient Greek and you also have to chose between German and French as a third language. Mind you I already was fluent in Swedish due to being born there. So sometimes it was confusing to me why we had so many languages to learn. And after the Gymnasio you go to Lykio which is another 3 grades, where you also learn Latin. …. But yeah, the point of this comment was to mention that my German teacher somehow expected me to be fluent in German because I spoke Swedish. 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
When I worked at, Discover Card, in collections, there was a Vet who called in to us, & several other creditors that day, he told me, because he had gotten back from deployment in, Afghanistan, & found none of his bills paid; nearly everything was in charge-off, car repo'd, house in foreclosure, because his wife & mom-in-law, were using the thousands of dollars he sent home, for wifey to pay the bills, she was using to pay *her* bills, letting his go to shite, & pocketting the extra money in her separate bank account & giving lots to her mom, too. Because his account was in charge-off, we weren't allowed to discuss anything beyond the past due amount; charge-off department could talk to cardholders but no one else. Since he was deployed though, w/in an hour, his card was returned to open & in good standing, & the wife was removed as an auth user.
Thank you for assisting him. You may have just saved a life that day. This veteran's hat is off to you.
For the thing someone tried to correct you on, I study animals for a living. Literally since I was six years old. I have a friend(A) I see as a sister. We balance each other out. While she's a supporter, I will let you know if I think what you said or did was dumb. Anyway, A was playing with my other best friend(B) on his switch, and somehow my third best friend(C) changed the conversation to ducks. I have short term memory, so these won't be the exact words, but this is roughly the gist.
A: Where do ducks go during the winter?
Me: They fly south.
A: Ducks can't fly.
Me: Yeah, they can.
B: They literally migrate.
A: That's like saying chickens can fly.
Me: Chickens can fly. But only about as much as peafowls.
A: I mean they can't fly as much as other birds. That's like if a fish was able to fly. Because they're aquatic.
C: Wait until she learns about flying fish.
To make a long story short, she looked it up. Not only did she learn that ducks fly, but geese fly too! Who knew, right?
A: That's so weird. It's like a spider or a snake flying.
Me to C: Wait until she learns about-
A: You're lying.
Me: Gliding Snakes.
A: So there are no flying spiders?
Me to C: Wait until-
A: Stop! No! I know you're lying about this one.
Me: Yeah, there's no flying spiders that I know of. But they do make parachutes.
I hate being railroaded by GMs. My favorite session as a GM (still talk about it all the time) was when the players teleported to the end of the dungeon, bypassing all the bad guys (who were actually good guys being manipulated), rescued the main good guy, went backwards killing the actual bad guy, and saved everyone. So out of the box thinking and I was proud!
That’s the kind of thinking that should be rewarded and not punished
Was in a gifted science class in Jr high and our final projects were PowerPoint presentations on a picked topic. I chose constellations. We went to a science camp for a week near the end of the school year and one night a councilor was presenting constellations. I was excited and sat toward the front of the group. They had that laminated board with a field of stars and Velcro to place the "lines" of the constellations. Well this guy was doing fine until he started trying to place Ursa Major (the whole of the Big Dipper) over something like Sagittarius. I pointed out he was using the wrong piece, and he said no I know what I'm doing, and then proceeded to rotate the constellation over and over trying to get it to fit. My classmates just started saying, dude, listen to him, he's been hyperfocused on these for a year. I feel bad for the guy because I'm sure any 20-something guys just loves being corrected by an 8th grader lol
Story one: I had a similar thing like it when I went to Edinburgh the subway sandwich was delicious but when i came back here in Birmingham I went to the bullring subway area I chose the ham subway with corn lettuce and cucumbers when I ate it I felt nkthing wrong but after a few minutes i felt a weird feeling so i threw the subway sandwich away it was also the sandwich was half eaten
sorry that girl in the non con fetish story is a major reason why that kink is considered not very great because theres an even thinner line between "consensual kink" and "straight up assault" than most other sex even. i hope shes okay now bc my lord.
Kind of relate to Mr. Mainly Fact on the whole Swanson broth thing with those Cascade commercials nowadays. Particularly the one where the woman asks if you know the feeling of having to scrape dirty dishes, turns to the camera, and then smugly says, “I don’t.” She gets under my skin so much that I sometimes feel like asking her about the feeling of her age, because I don’t! We also don’t use our dishwasher, so…
As another game master(since dungeon maater is specific to dnd), that guy trying to control the story should write a book, not run games.
1:58 also lost mine and several of my friends. I worked there for about 4 months they fired me never gave me a reason to why they fired me but what I assumed was I would sit for a good 5ish minutes (because I have back feet) when I finished a big task. One day I was doing the dishes I sat down for a good 2 minute until I realized that we had a lot of customers I got up and helped. But one thing they did say as I was leave is that “we had people complain about people sitting on the table in the back” I was confused because everyone did it. Also fired me in front of customers/a coworker and coworkers friends that would come by a lot and he would just sit there with them and not do any work.
Edit: PS they fired me a week before my birthday.
11:00 when I worked at subway we would not change our gloves as much as we should. The only time I changed mine was when I was gonna do something else or I got a lot of sauce on my gloves.
47:10 reminds me of a conversation I had with my friend. My friend was trying to tell me that Odin is Loki's dad and that Odin, Baldur and Thor are brothers. He kept insisting that he read this in a real mythology book. The issue is that not only have I read the eddas but I'm literally Norse pagan. He still got salty over it but eventually admitted he was wrong.
6:50 my dentist story
I have very weak teeth. So weak that it’s stupid. They, no joke, disintegrated regularly before I got my adult teeth even though I brushed them almost every day.
When I was in 3rd grade, I had to get a tooth pulled. The dental assistant/student/something wasn’t trained in how to use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and they refused to do any numbing more than a local thing they rubbed on to my gums. I felt every moment of that procedure and can still recall memories in 8th grade.
We never went to that place ever again. Until 5th grade, I couldn’t sit in a dentists chair without having a meltdown (events not helped by my neuroatypicality).
I’ve since relaxed with dentists because of how many fillings I have to get, but fuck Monarch Dental.
The story at 56:10 was mine. Thank you for reading it. ❤
I’m sorry you had to go through that :(
Also lmao 36:27 I think the internet broke you xD
Call of Kevin (Cthulhu). 🤣 It seems like OP is willing to play along with his fiance's fantasies for right now. It could be a harmless release of stress and she seems like she's got him playing along with it.
57:50
all of the private schools went to actually cared about my education (at least a little), the teachers are willing to help. But OP lives in a different area, but I am glad OP is doing well
My private elementary absolutely cared more about appearance than anything else, all because the principle (still is) was a librarian, and the school is dipping in quality, and I can't be any happier.
You have a beautiful singing voice. You should sing more for us ❤
1:45 My mom would agree; she is very proud of her homemade chicken stock and finds store-bought brands bland.
4:59 I wasn’t expecting that 😭
Starts at 0:40
43:34 your singing gave me accidental ASMR Goosebumps😂
9:48, just after this I got a Pizza Hut add about wings, LOL
The Merchant Marine and the sweet Catholic lady 🥺 I freaking love it!
My husband also has the pregnancy thing....at first I was uncomfortable but it's helped as my body has changed while growing our child. My body issues aren't nearly as bad as they were when I first started showing.
Thank you for the unaliving warning. My late husband did this and it’s a huge PTSD trigger for me. 🥰
It's so easy to make chicken broth, too! Youu can buy a rotisserie chicken, take off as much meat from the bones that you can and put the bones in a stockpot.
Add enough water to cover the bones plus an extra 2 inches of water. Cover the stockpot with its lid and let it simmer overnight.
For extra flavor, you can add onion peels and garlic peels (the thin skin on them that you generally toos in the garbage). You can also add any dripping from the chicken!
In the morning, strain out the bones, peels, etc from the broth and BAM! Amazing chicken broth for cheap. Like grandma made.
BROOOO THE GERMAN STORY ALWAYS HAPPENS IN SPANISH CLASS, SHE ALWAYS USES SPANISH SPAIN WHEN THE WHOLE DAMN CLASS IS MEXICAN
35:23 - Orgasms actually are a great pain reliever, especially in opiate w/drawal, like I was in, a few days ago. Unfortunately, once the O wears off, the pain/ickiness pops right back in
Bro that voice crack 😂 4:57
53:52 is my story! I've never had one of stories read before so I'm quite happy
i’m happy most of these are abt the places, not the actual brand bc this is a hour long video. If that were that many brands that were awful i’d cry fr.
TTRPG story:
My boyfriend, and his whole group of friends play DnD every weekend. One day, my boyfriend, Chris, DMs, the other day, a friend of his, Cody, DMs.
I am told, before I met Chris, and by extension, all if his friends, that Cody used to DM exactly the way you explained in that TTRPG story. Chris told me it got so bad, that Cody just started tell players to draw a "Pentalty Card" if players did anything that Cody didn't like.
Later, Chris told me people stopped showing up to Cody's campaign. Then, they were hosting DnD nights at Cody's place. Cody apperantly blamed peoples absences on Chris, and essentially told Chris that people need to start showing up Cody's campaign nights, or Chris wouldn't be allow to host HIS campaign night at Cody's house.
My wonderful, crayon-eating boyfriend, never thought to host DnD at his house, where there not only is a LOT more room, there is less stress, and people enjoyed his campaign more ;)
stuft a rag in his mouth WHY THATS SO GOOFY

Kinda funny military story from a military brat (birth - 18)
So one of my military big brothers decided to show off his decided to stop by and show off his new car. He was so excited he forgot a few key points. His new car was a black SUV, it was inspection day for his dress blues so he was all dressed up, and most importantly my dad was deployed.
Me and my siblings where playing out front when we see a big, shiny, black SUV pull up and we scramble into the house in a panic. Every military kid who is old enough knows what I means if a black SUV stops at your house when a parent is deployed.
My mom steps out on the porch and sees a man step out of the black SUV dressed in full dress blues. She loses it and starts sobbing, we are in the house crying, my sister with epilepsy goes into a stress induced seizure (not the flop on the floor like a fish out of water kind). It’s a mess.
Seeing my mom in distress my big brother thinks the worst and sprints to her, grabbing her just as she collapses. Just as the lightbulb appears over his head my mom punches him in the shoulder (the only part she could really reach).
He apologized profusely to everyone, and was made to hold my sister and explain things as she came out of the seizure, and had to explain to my father what happened.
It’s funny now, but it really wasn’t then.
I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH YOUR SHIRTS!
I forget what restaurant it was I went to, but I remember having to use their bathroom at some point and I went in there, did my business, came out to wash my hands and saw a sign posted that said "Dear Employees, please remember to "Wash you hands" before returning to work." in quotation marks. And I sat there feeling sort of stumped and confused for a few minutes because... usually when something is in quotations, it's meant sarcastically. It wasn't the entire note, it was just the "Wash your hands" that was in quotations, so... I briefly questioned the service of that place
Absolutely loved the Pegg Hill bit! The main reason i horribly pronounce some spanish words. Love your videos!
I promise you if an NCO or officer says any order to you while you’re in the civilian world. You still have to comply. The UCMJ applies everywhere. Shitty but true.

Not so much a story, and I didn't stop using the brand over this, but more of a matter-of-fact scenario: Has anyone tried coffee flavored ice cream? I haven't, but thanks to the following paragraph below, I've probably lost the tastebud lottery for it.; Oreo has made a lot of flavors over the years, and they've all been amazing, but one flavor in particular stands as the odd one out. There were these javachip (another word for coffee) flavored ones and at first I believed "What could I possibly lose from buying this?", and I was in for a shockingly vague answer when I tried to eat one. They smelled nice, but they taste absolutely AWFUL! They were so bad that even my coffee-loving aunt didn't like them either. So I threw out the whole container and the cookies that remained, and from there, completely avoided that particular flavor. Although we must've got our wish of the javachip flavor being discontinued because I never found it anymore.
More or less quick update: I did a few days ago found a brand I WON'T buy a second time: a sparkling water brand called Spindrift. Great concept but it tastes awful (not at all similar to the Javachip Oreos) and has a vile aftertaste. I think if they aren't gonna use sweeteners, they should rethink using real fruit to make their product
I love coffee ice cream. Culver's has a flavor of the day called espresso toffee bar, and the Chocolate Shoppe has espresso Oreo.
I like coffee flavored ice cream, as long as it's not too, "coffee-y," because I hate coffee 😅
@@LauraFunFunFloweries I'm honestly not a fan either, so I'm shocked that my aunt didn't like the cookies any more than I did
Man, lots of folks having issues with Pizza Hut. I know the feeling. Similar story to #6, for me: ordered pizza with my older sister from the PH location nearest to our house. Time goes by, our food should definitely have arrived by now, so I call and casually ask about it. They say it's out for delivery and should be there anytime. We wait a little longer, my sister's friend shows up to hang out with us.
Soon it's been an hour and a half, and still nothing. I call again, nobody answers. So I drive down to the place myself and see a CROWD of people all waiting to talk to the manager because they were having issues with their food too. I get up to the manager and tell her about the issue; this woman then argues with me, saying that her driver showed up to the house and nobody answered. I tell her, "that's not true; myself, my sister, and at least one other person have all been at my house waiting for well over an hour and not once has anyone come to our door. Idk if your driver went to the wrong place or something, but I know he didn't come to MY house."
After a bit more arguing, she comps my order, calls the driver and clarifies our address with him. (Never did find out if it was the wrong address he went to or not. And it wasn't like we lived in a hard-to-find place or way outside of town; my house is literally on one of the most often-used streets in the city.) Says he should be there soon and our food will be free for the inconvenience. No apology for the wait, nor for yelling at me or implying I was a liar by arguing with me. I go home. We wait another HOUR. Dude finally shows up and gives me the food and a half-assed apology for the wait. Needless to say, I did not give him a tip.
The pizza was ice-cold, and not at all what we'd ordered. But by that point we were too fed up with the situation and too hungry to care, and at least it was free, so we ate it anyway. Never went to that particular location again; they later closed and a new one opened elsewhere in town under different management.

On that first military spouse story: I was coached by my dad's new girl friend to accuse my mom and her whole family of SA. I was 3 years old. To this day my entire mother's side of the family blame ME for "ruining their lives." A lifetime of emotional and mental abuse because some b wanted child support out of mom but to not have to deal with visitations. I am now NC with all of my mother's side of the family and LC with my dad. Not military related but please for the love of children do not put them in that position. It's just effed up and selfish.
One time we went to olive garden, made it very clear she's allergic to onions, and they served it with onions. This was a dish where it wasn't really noticeable so my mom's throat started closing up, she quickly ran to the car for the benadryl and was then told she couldn't come back in because it's past 10 now. My other mother threw a fit, rightfully so.
That BoA experience is absolutely terrible. I had the exact same thing with HSBC. Dipositrd a few grand in cash, no receipt ilor acknowledgement. Told the clerk and they apologised and said they woild just have to do a quick check of money in versus the documented money in and would get me sorted ASAP. Took them like 10 mins and they logged the money in my account immediately no issues. I couldn't even remember exactly how much money it was tbh so said just over 2 grand and they confirmed the exact amount. Easy peasy. But then this was in the UK and i was in no rush or anything and wasn't mad
1. Apple: they haven't done anything interesting or different since the iPhone 4S.
2. Subway: I stopped eating there after I had Jersey Mike's for the first time. Also watch Arin from Game Grumps complain about Subway, it is so funny.
I like your videos, you make me happy :)
55:02 They meant that they were being paid while showering, as it was part of the job of wading in the poop pool. The guy basically got paid for doing what they would have done regardless of whether or not they were paid while showering.
My dads story from the military. He and a friend apprehended a female shoplifter at the Base Exchange...who turned out to be the Base Commander's wife. B.C. was not happy with Dad and friend. Later, my dad wanted to transfer to Charleston SC, but found out B.C. was the B.C. there now. Which is how my dad ended up at teeny tiny Union Cross Air Station.
Army vet here, not wife but was my girlfriend. I had been sending her letters cause no phone till end of phases. Three weeks are a phase where we learn the basic of being a soldier. Well I was on limited time on my phone, got on facebook to see a friend had messaged me with proof that my girlfriend had had a train ran on her. I dumped her and the toy bear I bought for her and her letters to me went to the demo range, I was a combat engineer so we learned how to use explosives, and I proceeded to blow that bear and her letters into fine mist. After boot and job training I hooked up with her sister, then on my first time home I hooked up with her brother. All just to get back at her.
She and I are now friends and laugh at how immature we were.
5:00 the voice crack proves that he’s real
My sister and I worked as servers at a local mexican restaurant. One of my sister's tables told her make sure no onion on the burrito due to allergy. Sister puts no onion food allergy in 2 different places on the order ticket. Another server brings out the food but hands my sister the kitchen portiin of the ticket. She goes and checks on the table. Onions are in the burrito. Sister goes back to kitchen and asks for remake and absolutely no onions. Food allergy. Second time my sister delivers the food and asked customer to check. Again, onions in the burrito. She goes back to the kitchen yet again. This time she also goes to the back of house manager. Tells him what's up. He literally asked my sister, "What do you want me to do?" She told him, "How about you do your job and make sure the issue is fixed and you are comping the meal." He did exactly that. Next day she tells the GM. We quit not long after.
12:31 here's some advice for everyone: DO NOT USE A BANK, USE A CREDIT UNION INSTEAD. Credit Unions are much more helpful and charge you less.
Those military wives are just… reprehensible. That’s about the least crass way I can describe them and it’s far better than they deserve.
I love how ppl say "you lost a customer" like one person is gonna make such a huge difference
One person can turn into all your costumers if you're not careful enough.
Alaska does have the midnight sun phenomenon in the summer months, BUT the younger cousin was also semi-correct about Alaska being frozen year-round and never thawing. Nearly 85% of Alaska has permafrost, which is a frozen layer below the surface (frost) that NEVER melts (or at least shouldn't but who knows with global warming...). And if that's what was meant because they didn't say the cousin said "ice" specifically, they whoever made that post didn't do that good of a job researching Alaska. Just because I place gets a lot of sun doesn't mean there can't be ice or permafrost, especially when it is freezing 8/12 months in the year. I mean both poles also get the midnight sun phenomenon for 6 months, and no one would argue that there's ice all year in the Arctic, considering it is literally just the world's largest ice sheet. There isn't actually any real land mass, just ice and some military bases. Antarctica has land mass but no military bases, but yes to the year-round freezing.
Never get tuna from anyplace unless you know you can trust it. My mum worked as a waitress at a now defunct franchise. She was nice enough to check if it was good first and if she knew it was bad would try hint to the customer that they wanted something else. Every place she worked at the tuna salad was always the most iffy thing. It's sold premade i large containers and rarely sells well enough to be run dry before it goes bad. Scummy managers trying to get every cent will refuse to just throw it out.
Friendlies is like if a Denny's or Waffle House had a kid with Dairy Queen 😂
Hi, can someone please tell me what is a rag because English is my second language and I don't know all the words
a rag (Well from im from) is a towel used to clean and usually has like bleach stains and is kinda torn
A rag is a piece of cloth that can be used for cleaning, that is usually recycled from an old unusable towel.

I took Japanese in an American school, I am half Japanese and half Korean, I speak both languages fluently but because most of the transfer students at the school were Korean I spoke Korean with them and most assumed I was also a Korean transfer student. The teacher tried to correct my pronunciation quite often, I didn't really care, the tests were all written so I had no issues with the easy a but the teacher found out from my host family during a parent teacher conference that I was a Japanese transfer student not a Korean transfer student. He never corrected me again.
for reference the school i went to only offered Japanese and Spanish language courses, but the year I started the Spanish teacher was on maternity leave so it wasn't available that year.
On the subject of pets dying, i think it's important that if you have other pets, you allow them to smell and see the passed-over pet so that they understand what has happened. I think this helps majorly with pet anxiety else you just take a poorly pet away and they never come back. Their poor buddy doesn't understand what has happened. You can't sodding explain it to them so let them smell the body so they also have closure.
When I was about 8. I had a dentist drop a drill in my mouth. It sliced part of that skin under my tongue that attaches to the bottom of you mouth. The dentist put it a few stitches and told me not to tell my parents. I have avoided dentists since. Some I have gone to are fine ... I just hate going.
You told your parents immediately, right?
Bruh, the dentist i had when i was a kid messed me up when it comes to anything tooth related. Novacaine (the numbing agent they inject in your cheek) doesn't work on me, my dentist didn't believe me and just said i was nervous, i had 3 teeth pulled and a root canal without anesthetic. I eventually just learned to mentally disassociate with the pain and go into a mix of passed out and being paralyzed
Even booking cleanings as an adult is nerve wracking
I was not there, not even sure if I had met the person who told me this before this story. I have a hidden disability called dyspraxia and I have a social group of people who also have it. A laymans term I have heard for dyspraxia to which I think sums it up perfectly (well in my case) was that it was like my body was dyslexic (can read and write (well not always in a way people can read) but the way my brain handles speech, physical movements, hand/foot eye coordination among other things is a little screwy.) Anyway this group had started as being part of a charity that one of my friends in the group was working for at the time and would go to various functions, conferences and events with raising awareness, campaigning and fundraising in mind etc.
To say these events were occasionally misinformed or had booked speakers who didn't know what they needed to know about their audience was an understatement.
Dyspraxia can also overlap with autism and many of us can be incredibly fussy eaters when it comes to certain kinds of textures. My friends have gone hungry cause that hadn't been considered. But I have also heard of one speaker representing, ok I forgot who they worked for but let's just say it was one of the UK government departments for disability, unemployment or something along those lines. My friends grilled him mid speech on what he was saying and how he was getting everything wrong. And he pretty much refused to listen.
Yeah no one understands their neuro diversity and/or hidden disability more than a well read person with the condition itself. Take that last minute Google search.
TL:DR: UK government rep for disability or unemployment (I forgot which) during a public speech on both and neuro diversity... Didn't know crap about the subject and tried lecturering those who did because they had such conditions as if he was a trained expert. And got called out on it.
Famous people with Dyspraxia include Mel B, Daniel Radcliffe and maybe Harry Potter too. Well that was a claim JK Rowling made when Daniel Radcliffe started to open up on the subject that she had always envisioned Harry Potter having such a condition anyway. But this was when Dumbledore was revealed to be gay and she was saying other unwritten backstories and other things she has since backtracked on.
The german teacher story really made my day lmao. Luckily I haven't encountered that myself but I have no idea how I'd react. (I'm German)
Left handed person here.
I can attest to the claim that left handed people do NOT make up 50% of the population. It is closer to 10-12%.
The reason: this is a regressive gene in our biological makeup, like having red hair or green eyes (not that I have either of those physical traits). Some people are just mentally hardwired to rely more dominantly with the opposite hand, well, from what is considered to be normal.
My third grade teacher was also left handed, and she would regularly comment on mine, how I would write, do artwork, and even how I would play sports.
She was, in fact, VERY insistent on trying to get me to try using my right hand for certain things; performing handshakes, specifically. Her goal (aside from teaching me I guess), was to basically go against my 'norm' and encourage me to shake her hand at third grade graduation before I moved on to middle school.
I am proud to admit that she was successful in that goal.
Mrs. Robinson's methods were strange, but oddly effective. She was also a pretty good teacher, who I think back upon rather fondly.
walmart. never again will i willingly go into a walmart. i went in in search of the movie "whiplash" they asked around on their radios and kept calling it "splash" repeatedly. then i just asked for them to point me to the DVD section and they walked me to the TV stands and walked away. this one did not have a DVD section but instead of telling me, they jerked me around for an hour.
Actual Alaskan here lol. I'm in south central Alaska and it's definitely not an icy hellscape all year round thank God.
It actually gets hot as hell here in the summer cuz we are closer to the sun
I’m a vet tech and worked veterinary ER. If you don’t stay there for with your dog for euthanasia they look for you. Please please please stay for the euthanasia unless you really cannot mentally handle it. You should still know your dog is very confused and wonders where you are. We will give them treats during the euth as a distraction but it always hurt seeing a dog watch their owner walk away as we wheel/walk them to the back.
Please stay if you can. Your dog will probably miss you if you don’t.

The voice crack omg-
My nephew bit right through his tongue, (30+yrs ago) aged 3-4 he was a prem baby and small. I had to take him and his mums bf to the A&E. He yapped all the way there and while waiting for the doctor. But when it came time to see the doctor,he wouldn’t open his mouth. They gave him glycerin lollipops to clean his tongue. We came home to his Grans house and he was asking for salt and vinegar crisps. My mum said they will hurt his mouth, he was adamant he wanted the crisps. He ate them, his brother ate the lollipop.😅story 2, Aged 5 same nephew was bouncing on his bed and fell splitting his head, it was a male nurse who saw to his paper stitches, he kept saying what a big boy he was being. After he offered my nephew a lollipop. I said to my nephew now tell him your age, “5” he says. The guy was shocked and asked if he was at school, he says yes. He was wearing age 3-4 clothes. 😅
Did anyone else hear the voice crack at 4:59 lol. (I love your content, I’m saying this as a joke)
So-called "child dentists" are the WORST. NEVER
I remember the glee on that woman's face as she forcibly held my mouth open for a CLEANING. I'm that one patient at the dentist that gets praise because I'm calm and only need reminders when my jaw tenses
Walmart. I was supposed to be at the El Paso Walmart when the shooting occurred. I was going to pick up a mini fridge from the Best Buy across the street and I needed shower curtains so I was going to pick them up there. What kept me from there was my alarm went off and I decided to be lazy and not go that morning. When Robert O'roeik decided to build an anti gun platform out of the bodies, before the had even gotten cold, I had to keep myself from driving to the hospital he was campaigning outside of to beat him. When Walmart joined him in blaming the gun instead of the gunman, I stopped purchasing from them. All these years later, they have not gotten one red cent from me.
I wish that I could take back my decision to be lazy that morning. I wish that I had been there if only it had been to save one life. I am an army medic, trained in combat medicine. This remains my greatest regret.
Actually avoid friendlys tho, the one time i went was with friends and we all had the runs after eating it
Thank you very much. It’s gotten a little dark lately.
How many of these stories just reminded me of something that happened at KFC or when my parents order from KFC in the local village where we lived? Will my parents still live there? I don't live there anymore. Anyways we ordered KFC one night because we had some extra money that we had saved up and so where are you going to order a bucket and so we called up the number. We ordered the bucket right and we waited. They said it would be done in like I think they said something like 30 minutes 30 minutes to an hour and we wait it for 30 minutes to an hour and he didn't have it ready. So we called again. Mom put all her information through and then they told us that they weren't going to deliver to us because we were outside their jurisdiction of where they will deliver to. And the truth of the matter is we are literally in the middle of that town where my parents still live and these people were so lazy that they decided they weren't going to take our order even though they had previous to taking it and then they changed their mind. Then they changed it to saying oh no, we're closing now even though they were supposed to be open until 9:00 and at the time my mom was calling it was like 7:30ish. Anyways, that KFC didn't last long in the village because a lot of people didn't like how they were doing things The new restaurant there is doing quite well though
7:09 This should read "deck him" i believe
It may not be a rule anymore, but officers and higher enlisted 20 years ago were the last in line. Be it McDonald's after jumping into Grafenwoehr or heading to the chow hall in a large group. Making sure troops are fed is high on the priority list in the infantry.
Ya, Subway and KFC are 2 places that gave me food poisoning EVERY SINGLE TIME I ate there, no matter what location in what town. I think it's just their food safety practices or lack thereof.
Took my nephew to the dentist to get a filling and first,they informed me they didn't want me in the room with him and I said,"Okay." I wasnt' happy. The dentist came out a bit later and said my godson bit her. I asked if she needed me and she said no. At one point,she came out again and said she was filling his tooth and he'd be out soon. A few minutes later he comes out. He's crying. He's got blood trickling from his mouth and I looked at his tooth and could see no difference. "It wasn't a cavity. " she said. "It was a calcium deposit." I was shocked. "You tried to fill a calcium deposit?" She said he'd bit her twice,he had been difficult and I could grab a napkin to clean his face. Later on that night I was sitting on the couch and my nephew walked up to me. "My mouth hurts." he said. (He was 3.) I asked him if the medicine the doctor gave him stopped working. "She didn't give me anything." he said and started to cry. "Wait." I said,and went to grab some Tylenol for kids,and pulled him into my lap. "Dr. didn't give you anything when she was working on your mouth." He shook his head. I gave him Tylenol,read him a story and put him to bed. The next day I called her office and chewed her out. "NOW I KNOW WHY HE WAS DIFFICULT AND WHY HE BIT YOU!!! YOU DIDN'T GIVE HIM ANYTHING FOR PAIN AND YOU FILLED AN F'N CALCIUM DEPOSIT?!" We never took him back and I'm glad Kool Smiles got shut down.
I passed all my grades without homework or extra work....... just had to listen in class and thats it
This man is goated tbh

When I was little, a first tooth hadn't come out properly so my paedragged me to the dentist. He pulled the tooth out and I bit him full force. He was pissed. My parents changed dentist afterward because they were so embarrassed.
The whole kids swearing thing, I never swore as a kid but there were times when I’d almost swear because someone swore right before and I’d feel compelled to repeat it if we were talking about the same topic together. Might be an OCD compulsion as I am OCD and have the counting behaviors and intrusive thoughts among other things
Friendly's is a restaurant that was known for their ice cream but also served food. Sorta like Dairy Queen meets Denny's.
I avoid ANY brand that falls back on virtue signaling instead of actually telling me why their product is superior to the other brands.
Firehouse Subs. I went in there to try them out. I watched as the young woman made my sub and when it came to the meat, she was ripping the meat, until she got the exact weight on the scale!! I am like WTH???? Using a bloody scale and tearing the meat in order to get the exact weight? I paid for my 'exact' weight sub and never went back. I thought they used already pre-measured meats....SMH.....Yes, the bits and pieces of meat was added back to the meat container.
There is a particular Wendy's that me and my husband will never go to again because we have both contracted food poisoning from there. It wasn't just us it was also my SIL and her family and my MIL who ate from there another time prior. It was so bad I had to stay out of work and I was fired for missing too many days. Turned out that one Wendy's has several complaints against them for employees not washing their hands. Never again
