Was it a Taco Bell or Burrito place?

Totally wrong move by the manager. Sometimes, losing a customer isn't such a bad thing.0 -

I'm so sorry this happened. Do you ever wonder if these boys - all grown up with girls of their own maybe - think about mean, nasty things they did/said and wish they could tell you how wrong they were? I hope so - and that they are teaching their boys to be kind.0 -
Yeah... she was kind of a wimp...If I hadn't needed the money, I'd have walked off the job.shawnyates wrote: »labeastette wrote: »When I was in high school working at a fast food restaurant, I once had a Caucasian customer and his wife tell me he didn't want me serving him because I was Hispanic.

I was doing my internship as a medical assistant and was bringing back one of my first patients ever. It was someone with a severe mental handicap and part way through intake their caregiver looked up from her Gameboy and asked "Are you new?" I said that I was. "I kinda figured. You're really not very good at this." Total motivation killer right there.
A few years and a couple of merit raises later, I think I've come around.0 -
The student section of a basketball team we played called me fatass all game as I face guarded their best player (6 inches taller than me) all game.
I held him to 6 points and sank a buzzer beater to win the game...0 -
Total stranger in a forum asked me twice "whom are you talking too". That wasn't the ridiculous part. Since it was obvious I wasn't talking to her, and because it seemed like she was picking a fight, I got a little grammar nazi on her about the use of "whom" and spelling "to" with 2 o's and also asked her why she said it twice? Turns out she was the moderator. The ridiculous part is she then threatened to shut me down and delete me for being a BULLY. When I copy pasted the definition of BULLY into the thread (basically someone who threatens or uses their power to intimidate, control, or force someone to do what they want), it was all over. Needless to say I'm banned from that group. LOL!
The only other thing that really sticks with me was a total stranger at a salad bar. I was trying to get some bowtie pasta, and there was a big clump of pasta stuck to the ladle. So, with each scoop I was only getting a couple of little bowties onto my plate. After a few attempts, the stranger who was standing there waiting says "Are you going to take it all?" And to my surprise, this guy who looked like he could have been my dad, was not at all kidding. I think I was 19 years old, skinny as a rail, shy as could be, and too shocked and mortified to respond. It has always bothered me that I didn't tell that rude jackwagon off.0 -
I am only 31, but due to genetics I have been getting grey hair since my mid twenties (thanks dad!). Anywho, I dye my hair usually every 6-8 weeks and I was in between dye jobs when some guy who worked in my building, but in a different department came up to me one day and was like, huh...you sure have a lot of wisdom, don't you? I was like what? Well, with all that grey hair, you must be very wise.
Thanks a lot jack@ss! (oh, it was in a room full of people too)0 -
I don't even know where to start...
I think the worst was when I went to a moms dinner with an friend while I was visiting her. One of them asked me what I did. When I said I was a sahm, she looked at me with disgust. Asked if it was on purpose or did my husband was making me. I said it was a choice we made together. Then she went on about how she planned on setting a better example for her children by working and not being lazy. Might I add she was 8 months pregnant and enjoying her 2nd bahama mama. I was so pissed I just sat there shaking.0 -

.. had to look up SAHM. Sometimes I come to work to get a break. People just don't realize ... but I bet she does now, lol! Good for you for not losing your cool!0 -
I have too many people make rude comments on a regular basis to remember them all but one that sticks in my mind was when I was waiting for a bus. Some random bloke asked me my name (Jenny) and proceeded to call me Jenny Tubby and Jelly Tubby (y'know, like the BBC teletubbies.. Tinky Winky is pretty cute but still!). Yeah, I know I have a belly mate, but go F yourself. Really wanted to tell him where to go but I could tell he was kinda drunk and probably would have been even more insistent..0

That would probably be the psychiatrist I saw when I was about 21 and anorexic. The first thing out of his mouth was, "Well, it's not like you can't stand to lose some weight."
Awesome.0 -

Nice contribution, Boy with Truck. If it doesn't interest you, why do you bother? Oh ... for the two seconds of attention you just got. My bad.
First of all, shut up. Secondly, it's a Subaru Forester. Thirdly, don't be a hypocrite.
Though I may retract my first and third point. You did help prove my point. Your post was full of ignorance, which is the entire point of my first post. It didn't not interest me, hence why I made the post. I'm sure many people can relate to my post, and probably got much humour from your response.
Thank you for that. Looks like I made a great contribution to this thread. :disagree:
1) Relatable. 2) You made me LOL.
Thanks bud!!

When I was 8 or 9 my family went on vacation to a little hotel in New Hampshire. While we were checking in, it somehow came up that we are Jewish. Later the owner's wife came up to me and asked if she could make a wish on me. I said ok and she put her hands on my head and, I guess, made a wish. She didn't say it out loud. I really hope it came true!

I absolutely guarantee they never do. Having had the "idiot teenage boy" gene growing up, I can say that lots of the guys I know regret the larger horrible things they did, but that kind of thing, yelling something out of a car window, was forgotten by the next light and probably not mentioned again.0 -

I was walking my dog one night years ago and a group of guys drove by and yelled out the window "hard to know which is the dog!"0

When my son was about 10 months he had a hemangioma (irregular collection of blood vessels in one place that make a red mark/bump on the skin - it shows up in infancy, grows in size and brightness very rapidly and then begins self-involuting and is gone by the time the child is 5 or so...depending on the size,etc.). My little guys' mark was at it's peak size and bright pinkish-red around this time, and unfortunately it was on the side of his nose. What can you do? Anyways - I was walking into the mall carrying him, my mom carrying his twin sister. Some little old lady gave the "ohhh, she's so beautiful" to my mom about my daughter and then came to look at my boy and said, "Oh! What's wrong with HIM???" WTF!!! I saw red. I am not sure how I didn't beat her with her own cane, but I managed to, through gritted teeth, say, "There is NOTHING wrong with him. He is perfectly fine!" She actually had the nerve, regardless of my visible irritation to say, "Well, you should get that thing removed. It doesn't look right." (*#@)(&@#$*(&@#$0
