Employee Laughs In Boss' Face For Saying It's "Unethical" To Make Plans After Work, Takes The Case To The Director

This is why I am thrilled to be semi-retired. I work part-time and even with that they still try to pull c**p with me, like calling me on my days off and expecting me to fill a shift for a call out. I will only do that if they short my hours. Which they do. It's all a huge game. But I really don't play anymore. I no longer have anything to prove or have any aspirations to advance. But when I do work, I give 120% of myself to my work. So I really don't concern myself with the managers and their staffing issues. You want me here? Schedule accordingly. But I will not be your "beck and call girl". Been there, done that. Part of the beauty of being semi-retired....

This issue should fall under a woman's right to privacy in terms of the decisions made concerning anything having to do with her body. What I fear more than anything is that if Roe v Wade is overturned, what will be next on the government's agenda? Gay rights? Interracial marriage? If they can upend this right after FIFTY years, it won't be long before others follow. It's appalling and is setting us back in some strange time warp.

Woman Shares A Controversial List Of Rules She Makes All Of Her Boyfriends Follow

This girl has obviously been burned very badly. There has to be trust, or you have no relationship. It is where the foundation is. And trust can only be built over time. People have pasts that come with all different kinds of baggage. You have to be willing to be vulnerable enough to each help the other unpack...you will NEVER find a perfect person. They don't exist. Humans are flawed. They make mistakes. And no set of arbitrary rules are going to prevent mistakes or potential problems in any relationship. Boundaries yes, RULES no....

Add birth control to the list of right to privacy-threatened issues, too. (See: Griswold v. Connecticut, 1965)

I agree. Some people are under the impression that our job as a cashier does not keep us busy. I beg to differ. They are also under the impression they are funny when they clearly aren't.

Every third person that would t come to my aisle when it wasn’t busy would say, “You look like you need something to do!” Always with a stupid grin like I was gonna laugh at the wittiest thing I’ve ever heard in…well, not my life, as you’re the fourth person to say it this shift. I’m going to give people a hint about being funny. Unless you’re known as the funny one in your group or you’re a professional comedian, the first thing to pop into your head probably isn’t very funny. And now that I’m a professional dog walker, this also goes for the endless parade of clowns who say, “Who’s walking who!” I’m walking the dogs. They have leashes around their necks, I’m holding those leashes, I’m walking them. Shut up.

While working the other week, I was cashiering, usually I don't, but since I know how to use the machine by teaching myself they let me cover for someone. This women I'm helping, she comes up to me and says "I love your smile" and I was so confused and she just says "in my 12 years shopping here I never see anyone smile and yours is so refreshing and nice" and I just had the biggest smile all day. That was the first compliment I had gotten in ages and it was a good day

30 Men Listed Common Female Insecurities That Don’t Actually Matter

How about how much sex your NOT having? Better question...especially if it's by choice.

30 Men Listed Common Female Insecurities That Don’t Actually Matter

I guess I'm lucky. I only have to shave my legs maybe once a year. I just don't have hair on my legs hardly at all. My pits I shave maybe once a week. Pubs I trim up on occasion if it gets too out of control but it's never been an issue in my relationship...

30 Men Listed Common Female Insecurities That Don’t Actually Matter

This would depend first of all on the health of your facial skin in general, exactly how much makeup is applied and if it's applied properly. I worked in cosmetics and I can tell you that there are so many women out there with such beautiful skin that they don't need any makeup at all. But others have skin issues so they feel more comfortable with themselves using makeup. It's really about personal preference and what makes you feel good about being you...

Both are normal bodily functions that every human on the planet does. I don't know why anyone would care about it or even make it an issue? But clearly some people do...🤦
