48 Women Shared The Smoothest Flirting Techniques That They Fell For

I'm sorry that what started out so sweet became bad for you. It's hard to let go of the good in people, even when the toxic parts are harmful to us. I'm glad you had the courage to leave, and I wish you happiness and peace.

Hiring Managers Share The Times They Thought "What's Wrong With This Person" (30 Stories)

If there was a genuine reason, she should have made it clear at the time the interview was set up: "A rental car won't work for me, and I'm not comfortable taking public transport or risking a gypsy cab in an unfamiliar city. Can we arrange a car service, or prebook a taxi from a trusted company?" As someone who drives an adapted vehicle, and can't use a lot of public transport options due to accessability, I can see how it might be a problem for some people, but you have to be up front about the accomodations you require, and have a plan for how you will manage if you get the job. eg "If I move here, I'll bring my private vehicle, which is adapted to my driving needs, so transport won't be an issue."

Woman Keeps Making Racist Jokes About Her Sister's Korean BF, Gets Banned From Their Wedding

If it was a joke, the sister would have felt bad and stopped as soon as it was called out as racist and hurtful. If she were a decent person, she would have apologised. If she valued her relationship with her sister and BIL-to-be she would have apologised. The sister is a toxic racist bitch, and OP is right to distance herself from the relationship.

It used to be an official thing with an elected MC, but was halted in 2009 due to health and safety concerns, where upon the locals just kept doing it anyway, just 'unofficially'. It got more popular. Because risking life and limb in pursuit of a cheese is even more fun if it's subversive.

‘Karen’ Coworker Reports A Woman For Eating “Sexy Potatoes” At Work, Office Drama Ensues

TBH, unless OP was being deliberately suggestive, which by her account was not the case, the problem is coworker's dirty mind. I would be very uncomfortable having a coworker watch me eat and sexualizing it. I would have recommend OP report sexual harassment and hostile work environment.

Men Create Pink ‘Period Gloves’ For 'Discreetly' Changing Tampons, Women Can’t Stop Making Fun Of Their Idea

So an unnecessary and unsuitable glove that becomes a baggie that's brightly coloured to be 'discrete'. And lets make it hot pink, so the fagile period-phobe *knows* its menstrual, rather than an anonymous generic bag. An unnecessary product for a mis-understood problem.

A Tweet Saying That Unhealthy Food Is Cheaper Sparks A Discussion In The Comments

Time is a factor. People, shopping, traveling to the shops, cooking the food, cleaning up, all takes time. Poor people are usually time-poor as well as broke. If you are living on minimum wage, you have to work long hours to live. You also have to live somewhere cheap, which often means far from your job, and you probrably can't afford to run a car, so you're taking the bus, and usually changing busses. If you are working a 10 hour shift, and you take the bus and have to change and it's 2 hours each way, and you sleep 8 hours, that leaves you 2 hours total for housework, bathing, laundry, shopping, cooking and eating, spending time with your kids, making them do their homework, seeing them clean and dressed and fed. Where is the time to go shopping and fix healthy meals? It's not just food - exercise, studying, extra-curricular activities for the kids, all of that disappears because there just is not enough time in a day, because everything is harder, and takes longer, when poor.

Dad Tells His Babysitter To Replace A $2,200 Guitar His 3-Year-Old Broke On Her Watch

WTF? Your kid broke your guitar, by evading your safety measures. Yes, I'd be pissed the sitter left the kid alone for 20min while they were outside on the phone, but I bet you often leave the kid unsupervised behind the babygate for 20 min too. You are justified in not hiring her again. The guitar is a separate issue - the sitter didn't break it. Your kid did. The sitter shouldn't be liable for even a repair, let alone a replacement. You are totally the asshole.

29 Revealing Answers To "What Is Something That Men Do That Lets You Know They're Insecure About Their Masculinity?"

A man who says "not all men" is lending their weight to social inertia, not acknowledging that there is a problem that needs to be addressed. It's similar to saying "all lives matter" at a BLM protest.

29 Revealing Answers To "What Is Something That Men Do That Lets You Know They're Insecure About Their Masculinity?"

Speaking as someone currently on her period, I can confirm that periods are gross. And man, woman, or other, any one is entitled to be grossed out by used sanitary products or menstrual blood left on the loo seat. That said, unused sanitary supplies are not gross, and a man secure in his masculinity should not hesitate to buy them for the women in his life if requested to do so.

29 Revealing Answers To "What Is Something That Men Do That Lets You Know They're Insecure About Their Masculinity?"

Not so. It can be as simple as a colour not looking good on him, or he hates orange, or always spills stuff so he refuses to wear white. Or it could be "No, I won't wear black and that shade of yellow, I don't want to look like some asshole white supremisist." Or "Three piece suit and fedora all in pink? that looks a little pimp-tastic to me." Colour opinions don't have to be about his masculinity.

29 Revealing Answers To "What Is Something That Men Do That Lets You Know They're Insecure About Their Masculinity?"

You should wait till they hit on you, because honestly, you probrably not that hot. Then you say, "Flattered, mate, but straight."

Irish Teen Gets Annoyed By Americans Asking Her Stupid Questions So She Refuses To Give Her Class A Presentation Of Her Culture

Why not take this opportunity to educate them - how Ireland isn't that different, or backward, and how it is different and so much better. Show the cities and fast food outlets and malls. Then compare the healthcare, levels of obesity, life expectancy, gun violence, education, average uni fees and student debt.

Teenager Is Forced To Choose Between His Beloved Dog And His Family, He Chooses Dax The Dog

Getting rid of your kid's pet because you have a new bf you want to move in is a d**k move. His Dad has only been dead two years. The son made the best of a bad situation - he's caring for his dog, attending school via zoom, and living with a grandparent, who it sounds like could really benefit from having the help and care. He is also avoiding what sounds like a toxic and disrespectful dynamic with the Mom and BF. OP, you are not the asshole. You are becoming a man, and making decisions that are not easy. You are still grieving for your Dad. Speak respectfully to your Mom, and her BF, but set boundries, and stand your ground. It's okay to be sad and angry. The situation sucks. Love your dog. Love your Grandfather, Cry if you need to.

Body positivity like Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign. The idea that all women are beautiful sounds nice on the surface, but it's a gross message to send because beauty is still at the core of it. I don't want to be told that my body is beautiful too, I want to be told that I don't have to be beautiful, that my value is not tied to how much other people enjoy looking at me.

When I was close to the end of both of my pregnancies one of my favorite things to do was, when he would push up against my rib cage I would pound back a glass of ice water or eat a bowl of ice cream and as soon as that coldness hit my stomach he would back down. Also, my first liked to push his butt up against the front wall of my stomach pretty hard, so that there was a tiny little bump that you couldn't see but I could feel, so I could sort of grab it and shake it around a little bit.
