That’s why I don’t eat at everybody’s home. Potato salad is not meant to have raisins in it 😡

Hey look, pickmeisha rhymes with your name.

I told D to never text me when he was with you because you sounded like a piece of shit person and a bad mother.

First thing I heard about you was your name, your son's name (another D), your ex's name. And I gathered all your phone numbers, email addresses, and your home address. And I was going to send you the video evidence I had of D throwing me, grabbing and pushing me, screaming at me, and throwing my stuff out of the apartment, the one he's moving out of next week.

Second thing I heard about you was an "emergency" happening the same weekend as my getaway with my boyfriend. Emergency that was happening 3 weeks in the future.

We only shared the bird because it was D's way of controlling me. He FINALLY gave up that whole "custody battle" because you were his new toy to play with.

Third thing I heard about you was you love bombing him with wrestling tickets when you had only been dating less than a year. And he gave you a puzzle. Because you're basically strangers.

The FORTH thing I heard about was how you lied to him about who you were fucking besides him, and he found out about it at a party in front of strangers. To humiliate him. Nice.

Trust me, he deserves way worse. But then... I heard the fifth and final thing about you:

You were going to New York with your other married fuck toy, and so D had to do the custody exchange for D your son.

Like he was a piece of luggage.

That was the last thing I heard about you because I said you sounded like a fucking piece of shit and an abuser and I didn't want to hear anything else.

Except for SOME reason, in October 2024, I get a call and I hear you and D were going to wear couples costumes (barf). D is asking me about this and that where to find and shop. And I straight up said, why the fuck are you calling me about YOUR COUPLES COSTUME, GO CALL YOUR GROSS ASS GIRLFRIEND.

I had to remind him to treat you like a girlfriend. Probably easy to forget since you are everyone's girlfriend. That married boyfriend also sounds like a fucking piece of shit as well.

Anyway, tonight, D told me you're engaged and moving in. I asked him if he told you how he's an abuser and he said yup she's fine with it. Obviously, he didn't say like that. But that's the gist of it.

So pickmeisha, fuck you, I hope your ex gets full custody. Enjoy getting tossed around (I know that you do like getting beat in bed) and the lying about money, and the rotting teeth, and the [redacted] loving in-laws.

Pickmeishas like you are why evil sick fucks like D get to walk free when they deserve to die alone in a gutter.

I knew he was doing on purpose one random day, after I'd been in several months of therapy.

He said something triggering, something he knows is insulting towards me. And instead of reacting, I just stared at him and asked, "What are you doing?" And his expression of fear confirmed that he knew what he had been doing all those years.

The only reason he stopped physically assaulting me is because I called the police. He had grabbed me, thrown me, then grabbed all of my clothes and tried to throw them down the stairs, and I stopped him by blocking the front door (the same apartment you go to to get his hands put all over you in violence, he learned that by slamming me against that door). The cops came and called it a verbal argument, okay!

I just read through the text messages after that incident and all he cared about was possibly not getting the job he's at now. You know, the job that made you think he's a safe person to be around your son.

I know now it was never an accident or "anxiety" that caused him to chase me, throw me, bite me, spit on me, slam doors into me, slam me into walls. He's an abuser and her clearly takes no accountability for purposely triggering me so he could play victim or say "both of us are in the wrong!"

I know you don't care about ANY of this because you are also an abusive piece of shit who also deserves to die in a ditch.

Good luck on the move to La Habra.

...money which I will probably never have access to. I envy those who do.

ugh. don't want to hear about it. just want to crawl under the blankets and pretend nothing matters.

I don’t even know where to start, but I am filled with so much pure, unadulterated rage and hatred for this man that I feel like my brain is going to short-circuit. I am venting here because I refuse to keep dumping this entire mental load onto my partner, who already has to live in this psychological torture chamber every single day.
 
My partner works on a tiny three-person team: his boss, my partner, and one other coworker. This boss is the biggest, most hateful, miserable asshole I have EVER met.
 
The guy sits on his ass all day texting people, messing around, BSing, and running off to do random personal errands—meanwhile, he yells, berates, and verbally abuses his team, calling them names the second a small mistake is made. He is a massive misogynist, racist, bigoted POS who literally owns Nazi gear (absolute shocker, right? I mean, I know he is a history buff, but like read about it, don’t BE about it). He also doesn’t believe in mental health or mental illness, which is peak irony because he has the most severe, unchecked psychological issues on the planet. He ignores his own kid's clear signs of needing help, too.
 
On top of all that, I know for a fact he steals from the company, but hides it well enough to not get caught because he didn’t at their place prior. Also because he acts like such an aggressive bully, everyone just walks on eggshells around him and don’t want to go through the unnecessary effort of going to battle with him (GOD I wish I could be the one to rip him a new one … a person can dream)
 
Naturally, he hates my guts. Because of that, my partner practically has to hide our relationship at work. He couldn't even tell his boss that we went on our most recent vacation together, because if he did, the boss would have made getting time off an absolute nightmare. My partner can't even share basic updates about our life or talk about me without feeling like he's walking into a trap. It hurts so much knowing my partner has to hide parts of us just to get through his work week.
 
The petty control is UNREAL. Last year, we went to their company Christmas party. My partner was dealing with a knee issue and my heels were slowly killing me, so we left a little early (we are also people who go to bed at like 9:30PM soooo staying out late is totally not our late-twenty something thing hahaha). We walked around, checked things out, and danced a couple of times (this was the highlight of *our* night because we got other people to come dance too and it really lifted the atmosphere since no one was dancing lol). The boss and his wife, and a couple other coworkers just stuck to themselves as wallflowers the whole night anyway (I assume judging us from afar), and my partner didn't care about hanging out with them – I checked with him three times before we left for the night on if he wanted to say goodbye to them, but his knee was bothering him so much that we just dipped. But fast forward to this year? The boss actually asks my partner, "Are you going to the Christmas party, and if you do, can you come ALONE?" My partner dodged it and told him he had better things to do, but it's so obvious the boss thinks I'm the problem (he is fully convinced himself that I am some evil mastermind ruining everything).
 
I want this man's absolute demise. I hate feeling this powerless. I hate how his existence bleeds into our relationship and stresses us out.
 
How do you deal with this level of consuming hatred for someone who holds so much sick control over your partner's daily life? Has anyone dealt with a boss this completely deranged, and how did your partner finally escape/how did you help them manage? (p.s., his boss has been in the industry/in this area for a while and has threatened he would blackball him from this industry which is why he has a fear of leaving after becoming such a strong & capable person in his role)

...makes Carrot Top look like George Carlin.

He isn't funny. He doesn't tell jokes. He sucks.

The only thing dumber than Michael Blaustein are his audiences. He is one comedic degree of separation from "Ow My Balls!" in Idiocracy.

When I purchase a product online, unless it's Prime, I never know who the carrier may be. This aspect of buying online just sucks.

Prime, USPS, and UPS all do a fine job. Hats off to you folks. However, there is this other carrier (name omitted 'cause you know) that will turn a wet dream into an eight legged nightmare.

Sellers should let us know who the carrier will be before we hit the "buy" button. I mean delivery is part of the transaction and if they're using anyone except the carriers I named, we should know beforehand so we can opt out of the deal then and not be disappointed later.

I'm keeping a list of online vendors who use this sorry excuse of a carrier. You won't sell to me again.

Long story short, I work at a facility on my college campus and I've been there for about 2 years now. I finally got the courage to apply for a manager position (who only makes like $1.50 above min wage anyways) and felt confident about my application. I didn't get selected and felt fine about it until I had my debrief with my pro staff today. They went over all parts of my application and complimented me for the most part, with the only feedback being grammatical/ formatting corrections. At the end, we started going over my short response questions that I put a lot of effort into. My supervisor pointed at 2 phrases she had underlined and told me they "just didn't sound like me" and "sounded generated." I was genuinely confused because I truly didn't use ai to write it, so I sat there in silence for a second. She repeated herself and another staff asked something about grammarly to try and give me an out, I said I had it (even though it wasn't even turned on) just to get out of the conversation. It honestly feels like an insult to my character and I'm not sure why they'd think I'd risk my reputation there after so long by doing that. The sentences she underlined didn't even make sense and I have no clue why she thought why she did

it is INSANE how common this is among native english speakers! honorable mentions: they’re vs their vs there and breath vs breathe. this is first grade shit 😫 why and when did being dumb become so acceptable?

I'm currently in my 5th year in my undergrad, and I went to my cousins house tonight to bug them for a bit. My aunt knows that I'm in school for music, but I guess didn't know what the degree title was specifically. While having dinner she asked what my degree was, so I told her Bachelor of Arts Honours. She then following up with 'then what's your thesis?'. I don't have to write a thesis, it's considered an honours degree since I'm specializing in music and its not considered a 'general degree'. She then said it 'isn't an honours degree, then', and that it was a liberal arts degree. I'm in performing arts, so it can be categorized as a liberal arts discipline, but it's still an honours degree. Also, I've been in school for my degree for 5 years now and switched to my BAH 4 years ago, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm taking and it's classification. She just didn't want to be wrong and it got on my nerves 😭

Title says it all. I can’t stand dogs. They are awful!

Dogs smell, slobber everywhere, jump on you, scratch you, bite, tear up furniture, make houses smell, and they shit and piss wherever. Not to mention all the hair.

I visited a friend who has a dog. Immediately upon arrival the dog just barks at me OBNOXIOUSLY loud and tries to bite me.

Fast forward to later, he decides to sprint at me from the kitchen as I’m sitting on the couch, and he jumps straight onto my face.

This scratched my face and neck badly, and ripped my shirt. I began bleeding from this and the owner doesn’t even discipline the dog. They just say “oh he does that”.

BRO FUCK YOUR DOG.

IM SO SICK OF THIS.

Maybe it's just an odd fluke but it feels a bit like I'm being singled out

I've lost 30lbs in 4 months and now on maintenance

I should be proud of myself but i have these habits that ruins my mindset.

I will put on a specific shirt to wear to work or to a event because initially, I feel confident in it and want to show off my weight loss/muscle shape. But before I leave, I start recording multiple videos of myself in that exact same shirt to check my shape and see how my physique looks. This goes on for weeks. Like lets say a event is 2 weejs ahead and im already recording my body in certain shirts i like and watch it throughout the day and the next day and the next day.

When the day actually comes it turns out I look hideous and "fat" in it even tho i spent so much money and time on that shirt/outfit.

This cycle repeats even right now for Halloween I want to wear a pumpkin shirt for work. I recorded myself wearing it and walking in the shirt to see any imperfections or if it covers my body properly but also shows my muscles I worked for. I did this for 2 weeks straight buying so many Halloween shirts and yet some fit me well but I watched it so much that i leave it in the corner.

It's such a waste of money but I can't stop. I go to the same clothing store atp I think some workers recognizes me (or its all in my head).

Dare I say Im obsessed with my measurements and asking mutiple internet searches if these measurements are what body shape. I have a specific one I want and so i want to reassure myself that im near my goal.

This is like everyday..or at best 3 times a week that I do this and I sit there for hours usually 1 or 1 and a half obsessing about it and even on pintrest just jealous of the body they have that I can't.

I want to stop.

It's disheartening and disturbing that there is a SUCH a lack of empathy in current day society. What happened to kindness and helping others out? I don't know if it's due to the social isolation that GenZ experienced during their developmental years (because of COVID), or whether it's because times have changed but I feel as though there is such a lack of human decency from GenZ, as a member myself. I strongly believe that COVID and the such high exposure to the internet and anonymity that it provides has made so many individuals bystanders to either situations online or in person. If somethings wrong SAY SOMETHING. Who cares if you're going against what the crowd is doing??? DO THE RIGHT THING and PUSH & ADVOCATE for it. I'm sick and tired of hearing children getting hurt either by others or themselves because nobody did anything to prevent it. Bullying has been out of control. I truly wish there was less of a desire from both my generation and people in general to be liked from the public. If we didn't as much, there would be more people stepping up and calling either for help or for attention when issues arise. Please, I urge you all, if you haven't already, to start thinking independently and critically. Think about what is right or wrong, argue ethics. Stop waiting for someone else to do something when YOU can.

I'm also sick and tired of the tremendous amount of people who always complain and never do. Seriously, if you have enough time to sit around and complain, DO SOMETHING to support/help! There are so many ways, either active or passive, to push for what you believe should be done/is right.

I wish I didn't feel so alone in this fight for bringing back the unity that humanity once had.

My boss is one of the most bafflingly stupid individuals I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. I have a delivery job and this man’s perception of time literally breaks reality, and he’s at least partially serious (probably also malicious). He will tell me that a 40 min drive is actually 20-30 minutes. Mind you I have google maps, and have driven it time and time again. I will tell him my work will take me 7 hours. He will call me after 5 YELLING at me that I should have been done. His temperament contributes greatly to my burning dislike for the man. He’s short, rude, interrupts me, disrespects me and will hang up on me. He is literally the only reason this job isn’t good for me. He’s also illiterate and reads at like a 5th grade level which is kind of sad and probably points to why he seems to have deficiencies in critical thinking.

Btw this man will yell at me one minute, then call 20 minutes later and be chill. And the truly sad part is this guy is in a long list of people and bosses that I have met, who have been truly dysfunctional, and who possess child-like control over their bodies and minds. The funny part is that while I’m blue collar, I suspect the white collar world is the same, perhaps more insidious because it is better at obfuscating these things. I actually know it is, at least based on discussions with my friends. The modern workplace is about demeaning yourself, accepting whatever clown reality that the company believes in, being duplicitous, deflecting blame and above all, surviving. This isn’t exactly groundbreaking stuff here but holy fuck my boss is something else.

This is just random but it's frustrating having to constantly move my arm so the lights come back on. I'm sorry I don't dance my ass out while taking a poop in a rest room, just stay on till I leave! Even just washing my hands not enough for this light to stay on

i remember there was this one time at a family event where they had a father daughter dance, 12yo me and my 9yo sister were the only daughters who didn't get to dance that day. we watched all of our cousins dance with their dads from a far pretending to be uninterested. we could have danced that day if only my father wasn't a deadbeat.

I recently joined new comapany few weeks ago due to more money. There are only 3 people who work in my department. But apparently this co-worker who joined the same time as me complains about how unhappy he is and gossips about how bad other people are during work hours. Not to mention the training is not good at all.

I can't take this anymore of this gossip and hearing complaints. Its driving me insane. I didn't have that gossip and complaints in my last 2 jobs.

I feel like leaving for another job with same pay or more since I have like 3 years experience in my field.

Should I keep on staying or leave for a better job once I get an offer ?

I dared to enjoy two cookies today so now I basically have to have half of dinner. Why is everything so fucking calorie dense 😭
And theres like no low cal options in my town and I'm sick of buying fresh veggies that rot within one day. Also veggies are not filling at all. I hate dieting. I work on my feet 9 hours a day and try to exercise and yet I'm still consistently gaining weight.
Just wanted to bitch. I feel better now.

my parents and the neighbour recently agreed to do a roof repair with someone they found

he ultimately never shows up, it's another team he subcontracted without our knowledge

i told my parents not to go with this guy and off i went to my university class, i was already running late

i come home and the new guys are working on our roof, it seems the neighbour insisted on getting it done asap cos it's almost winter and my parents agreed

and the new guys have been horrible, not following the contract, rude and unprofessional attitude, throwing stuff around

when we politely ask them a question the boss sucks his teeth and rolls his eyes and walks away

i want to yell at him so bad, we're literally paying you! but i don't want him to do a shitty job in retaliation

My team is small, and we have a singular forklift for 5 people to handle e-commerce orders and large bulks for Bezos and Walton (I'm not sure if specific company names are allowed on here.)

I'm gonna try to keep this somewhat quick, but I've been fighting for roughly 6 months on the safety and effectiveness of this machine. I've had everything in writing the entire time. The issues with it, the fact that it very rarely even turns on, I've explained in writing the dead hours that have been spent sitting restarting this thing to no avail.

Recently, a tech came out to look at it again and the document is a bit shocking. It FINALLY was confirmed in writing that the machine is unsafe and needs to be sent out for further repair, if reparable at all. This was last week.

We have two main players here, Manager (M), and CEO (C). I've been telling M since April that this machine is at the end of its life, because I know replacements can take time and money. He claims he's been speaking to C the entire time about it.

So nothing has worked up to this point, M is still expecting us to try and do our jobs with this dead machine. Yesterday I texted him to ask, "When will you and C be here in person so I can discuss with him myself how severe this now EMERGENCY situation is?"

I also explained, if we can't load trucks, we have no profit. Can't pull items down, we can't label them for Bezos or Walton or whatever. The only thing that seems to have worked was essentially asking when I can inform Daddy of M's negligence.

I think yesterday was the first C heard of the dead lift at all, because suddenly M went from "rentals are expensive and take months" to, "rental will be here Monday".

He just didn't want me talking to his boss...

And suddenly a new replacement machine will be to our warehouse in 3 weeks.

Did he just think this entire time I've been being dramatic or hyperbolic? I'm still absolutely planning on continuing to be very loud about this issue, because it's both a safety and productivity issue. Sigh.

Editing in: I fully intend, also, to speak with C regardless, even if it's something as subtle as "I appreciate you handling the rental situation for us, I know it's been a long while and a frustrating situation". I'm fully anticipating a response like "it's been a while?" So then I can explain that yes, this issue has actually been written about via email for multiple months, with all communications regarding it seemingly ignored, or shifted to in person where the discussion can't be proven as having taken place

Gotta vent about this today. I used to drive 1000+ miles for work every month in Massachusetts, USA so I have seen a lot of driver behavior. I now reside in the Denver metro in Colorado. Both are bad with phone use but Denver seems much worse and it is driving me nuts!

Get off your phone. You risk your l!fe or someone else’s. There is NO safe amount of handheld use. Your tiktoks, tweets, instagram reels, texts can ALL wait. If it really cannot wait, pull over with your hazards on, or find a safe place to park.

Today I ended up honking at a driver who was listing back and forth in his lane, speeding up then slowing down, weaving in lanes, etc. and I could see he was using his cell phone, looking down and up again. This guy had the gall to brake check me then flip me off. Buddy, you are risking your own l!fe and the l!ves of everyone around you. Get off your phone. There is no excuse.

Whew, rant over. I just don’t understand it. Who on earth truly believes it’s safe? It’s been well-known to be danger0us since I was a child, and I’m almost 30.

If you’re reading this and you regularly use your phone while you drive, you know better. Stop it. I refuse to be nice about it, if it hurts feelings then good! Keep your eyes on the road and arrive al!ve!

I just saw an ad for $200 pajamas. 😭 I don't care if they were made out of golden ferret feet skin, what the actual heckwad has this world come to.
