To which the Frabk replied: "ya well i dont believe in that transgender bs. Back in my country, we execute people like that. . Brittany is a fiery woman with a heart of gold. She started chewing his ass out. Yelling at him about what a horrible asshole he is for acting like that okay. So old man Frank, absolutely stunned that hes being yelled at by a 25 year old barista demands to talk to the manager. And Brittanys like, "ya. Let me get him. Im sure hed love to hear this" My manager comes out and asks whats going on. Frank tells him. And my manager listens very politely. And then says "Thank you for sharing that with me. Let me get some of your information so i can write a report about this incident. (Gets his full name and phone number) okay and now Im gonna need you to get out of my store." "But why?

I had a cousin who was born with an overdeveloped cranium. He literally would not come out normally, so he was c-sectioned.

I think in Germany that is already normalized since as far as I can remember back there was always the word "Erziehungsberechtigter" which is kind of hard to translate, but "Caregiver" would probably the best one. Word for word it would be something like "authorized for upbringing" so it is very generalized. And that was already on about all the forms I had to bring to my parents when I was a child and that was back in the 80s.

[@hannajung7512]

@@Valfara770 exactly, this is because in Germany all thos paperwork is highly formalized, and a person that is not legally authorized as "Erziehungsberechtigter" is not even allowed to sign these. This is because in many cases the "Erziehungsberechtigter" is not a parent, but some other relative, or just one parent is, but the other is not. And this has been the case for quite some time, especcially after WW2 a lot of children were not in custody of their parents, but of a relative that happened to survive, and children of underage mothers are often given into the legal custody of the parents of the minor until they are old enough to take on the duty themselves.

So, she escalated to her supervisor...another woman. Again he demanded her manager, he refused to talk to women. So again he was escalated...to the manager, who was another woman. The man was full ranting mad, and demanded "the man in charge." So I, walking back from the break room, was flagged over. (At the time I was one of the "supervisors" who took escalations.) He was happy he could finally talk to The Man of the call center. So I, being the nice person that I am not, decided to troll the heck out of him. Every time we did a step of trouble shooting, I would put him on hold for 30 seconds to a minute, and then come back and we'd do the next step. This continued for a few minutes until he exploded in anger again and demanded to know why I kept putting him on hold. I told him, "Sir, you have talked to the tech, and refused their help. You talked to their supervisors and managers, and refused their help, demanding me. I manage this site, I'm not one of the people trained in this. I'm putting you on hold to ask her what to do next." (This was, of course, me talking out of my arse.) He was furious about this, but we resumed troubleshooting.

She said she was gonna leave the ticket opened and let the system kick it back to other male agents in the team once she got off. But I had an idea and told her, “Y’know what? Send it to my queue, pretend that the system did that on its own. I gotcha” (A little bit of context though, I have an Asian name that’s totally unisex, even people who know my language still wouldn’t have guessed my gender.) So, I got the ticket and introduced myself, telling him how I will be assisting him instead of my colleague since her shift had already ended. I managed to fix his simple problem with one try and when he came back to confirm that the issue was resolved, he ended with “Thanks! This is why a girl shouldn’t do a man’s job.” I saw my opportunity and replied with “You are more than welcome! Thank you for letting this girl helping you out. Have a great day!” Then I closed his ticket, anticipating my team lead to pull me aside the next day but apparently the client never reopened that ticket so I was good. lmao

As someone who was brought up in a very religious home, and also attended parochial school until middle school, anything LGBTQ is never spoken of. I knew a few things, but was horribly sheltered with no real information about it. Growing up I did have an attraction to boys, but I found I had an even stronger attraction to girls. Understandably, I was so confused. Fast-forward many, many years later, and as an adult I had realized I am bisexual (as well as demisexual). The amount of internalized hatred I had absorbed from the community, school, etc, took years to get over. I grew up never hating those in the LGBTQ, but I did hate myself. The damage is very real, and very toxic. I didn't allow myself to see who I really was for far too long. Don't let others tell you how to view yourself, and find safe spaces to talk.

[@lianejaeger8708]

@@thekingwhostitches No worries, I'm happy to explain. ☺️ Demisexual basically means it's a secondary attraction, and there is no sexual attraction until there is an emotional bond or connection. So basically I need to not only get to know the person, but I need to connect to them on a deeper level to feel any intimate connection. I'm sure it can vary a bit for each person, too. Bisexuality is often defined as being sexually or romantically attracted to both males and females, and can include other genders. Bisexuality is sometimes an umbreIlla term and can include pansexuality. In that case, it's more of a "hearts not parts" attraction, so it includes any gender and attraction to any gender. That being said, it can differ slightly for each person. Being bisexual, I'm attracted to both males and females in both a romantic and sexual way. For me, I find I may have some pansexual leanings because I also include non-binary and transgender people. A lot of times bisexuals will be attracted to cisgender males and females, but that doesn't necessarily mean they would not include other genders. I'm hoping this explains it better? 😁😁

7:30 in a school where I studied for years one year suddenly the forms changed from "parents" to "caregivers". Since it was the 90s and this "they are trying the erase the cishet" BS hadn't really taken over and it was a small school where everyone knew everyone, no one thought much of it. But a few weeks after the school year started we found out that a boy that was new in my class had lost both of his parents in an accident and was being raised by his aunt and uncle and the school had the sensibility to realise that putting "parents", "mom" and "dad" everywhere and not include other caregivers on school things (like mothers day and fathers day) would be really hurtful for that boy that had lost his parents and for the people that were taking care of him and had also lost part of their family over that. And after that, in every other school I went to and didn't have "caregivers" included I would tell them this story and ask them to add that, just in case one of their students needed that.

About the animal issue. It was 1991. Moma was working as a care-taker who had a 4 yrs old granddaughter. That woman thought it would be a good idea to get her 4 yr old a kitten. This toddler was constantly squeezing the kitten, hitting the kitten because it was to hissing at her, caring the poor kitten by the tail. She also kept the kitten in a rusty cage & she was just too scared to use the litter box....She just stayed curled up in a corner like a frightened child. Then the kitten starting walking funny & had started vomiting up blood. The old lady told moma that she was going to have to get someone to shoot it because she didn't have the money to take it to the vet to put it down humanely. So, my moma, my sister & me devised a plan to "rescue" this poor kitten. While the granddaughter was in Pre-K & while moma was talking the old lady to Wal-Mart - my sister & I "kidnapped" the poor kitten. She was so weak & frail the she merely whimpered & couldn't even fight us off. I wrapped her in a towel & we floored it to the vet. The vet said we may have been too little to late & pretty much said "She doesn't have much longer, maybe a week if lucky." We wasn't ready to give up. We left the cage open so moma could use the line "The kitty probably broke out to die in peace. Cats do that if they are very sick." The lady believed the story. We named the little kitty K.C. since we didn't expect it to make a comeback....3 days later, she was sowing AMAZING recovery. We took her to another vet. She had tail fractures, a cracked rib, had a skin infection on her back paws, an eye infection, & was fed food that cats can't normally digest. The new vet said that they would like to keep her for 3 days to get her digestive system on track, take care of all the fractures & infections at a discounted rate. If the cat died, she would not charge one penny, but if she lived, she would help us get evidence of the abuse so we could press charges. By a miracle, the kitty not only surviving, but thriving...Complete 180. We did file chrages, but back then Texas didn't have any decent pet abuse laws in the books. The "law" said see was "too old" to go to jail. ( She was in her 70's) & the granddaughter was too young to face court. The didn't fine either since she was "on fixed income" All she basically had to do is sign over the kitten to us & was not allowed to ever have another pet in the state of Texas. K. C. When we told the vet what the court did, we didn't even have to pay a bill. The vet said her survival was payment enough. We renamed K.C. to Kaci & she lived like a pretty, spoiled kitty cat should - with an abundance of love & affection - & she lived to the ripe old age of 12.

As someone who has owned a Frenchie as well as many other dogs, a few extra special things about that lady's post: Obedience training really isn't done until after a dog is spayed/neutured, so at least 8 months. You will not find a Frenchie without allergies. Due to their breeding history, you'd be lucky to find one that could even eat a commercial dog food. In the US (and c'mon, that lady must be American), it is illegal for a veterinarian to treat a dog who is unvaccinated for rabies. If the woman is that antivax, her dog will never be able to access any form of veterinary care. Most puppies from registered breeders will have already had their rabies vaccines by the time they are given to the new owners. Puppies will nip and growl as a form of play. Even if this child is being the perfect angel and is completely respectful of the dog's boundaries (and let's be honest, she's TWO, that's unrealistic), her dogs might have been trying to play and bond with her. Puppies don't come housebroken if they're less than ten weeks old. Not a thing. Like Clicky said, this pair wants a tamagotchi, not a living breathing animal. People like that shouldn't be pet owners. It's infuriating to me when people act like dogs are just there for the entertainment of people. There's a difference between thinking that your dog is adorable, taking photos, dressing them up, etc., and viewing them as your plaything without a mind of their own.

Isn't it also that puppies aren't given to their new owners until they're at least 12 weeks old? It is definetely done with cats here in Germany (I think dogs too, but I got my last dog 21 years ago, so I'm not exactly up to date), because separating them too soon from their parents and siblings can result in some serious emotional and mental issues. And I experienced it first hand, my parents in law's cat was separated too early and she can't cope with receiving love. She rubs up to your legs and meows, begging for attention but as soon as you give her attention, she gets confused and aggressive and she will attack you with teeth and claws.

It's a very bad idea to wait that long before starting obedience training. Basic obedience should be started from day 1, its how you establish boundaries with your dog and trust me. Waiting that long will make one hell of a dog to be aroubd. Dogs shouldn't be fixed until at minimum of 2 years old as well, they NEED those hormones until that age as that is when they truly stop growing. Some breeds don't stop growing or maturing until 3+ years old! A breed I am looking at the breeder I want to work with won't let her puppies be fixed until a minimum of 4 years old. Since their BODIES may stop maturing at 2 their brains don't stop maturing until 3 at the earliest and those hormones are essential for the mental health of the developing dog.

God that woman with the dog demands… I once had a woman with a brand new beagle puppy spend over $300 in my pet store with her kids.

[@chatboulon743]

That's disgusting! I had a 17 yo pup to pass recently. In his later years, he had grown blind and deaf. I had to put my hand in front of his nose so he'd smell me before I gave him a pet, otherwise I'd startle him and I was afraid he'd have a heart attack from it. Dogs aren't just some plaything to get rid of when they get worn down. They're supposed to be part of the family. I'd hate to think this woman would disown her family if something happened to them and they can no longer function as a person, because "what's the point" then?

I think "caregiver" is the perfect term for a school form.

(Editor Flame here- this came out much more preachy than I'd intended, but I don't know how to fix it without probably making it worse/really odd-sounding. With that in mind, please read on with the benefit of the doubt. Either way thank you for reading this far, and I hope you're having a good day/night. 😊) I get that feeling, my friend. I used to be all kinds of -phobic, though for me it was coming solely from a place of misunderstanding. Then I happened to watch a video about asexuality, had a "Oh sh$1" (pardon my french) moment, and slowly but steadily came to the realization that everybody deserves respect, regardless of whether or not I agreed with them on anything, or whether I could relate to them on some level. Two years later, I'm in a much better place (mentally and physically), while my family tries their best to be compassionate and mindful of my own identity and the identities/experiences of others. I'm not saying they've got it all down pat- me coming out as transmasc last year is a big adjustment for them, though they're not being cruel about it or anything -but they've changed to become better people, once they realized that being -phobic (even out of ignorance) is extremely hurtful to those it takes a poo on. All that to say, I don't know your situation, and your relationship with those currently in your life can- honestly most likely *does* -vary from mine. But, if God is nudging you to tell somebody IRL, and you know they wouldn't/can't bring your life crashing down, it's not always a stupid idea to act on it. Also, It's best to prioritize safety first, and to not spin yourself in mental knots when avoidable, all that good stuff- keeping in mind that stuffing a core part of yourself away where nobody will see it tends to end unpleasantly. When all is said and done, the worst thing to do is to innately assume you're alone in your experiences, no matter what said experiences entail. If anything comes out clearly in this long-winded train wreck of a reply, I hope that part does. (Also if you would like any strategies for explaining asexuality to Christians, I've got some gold to pass on if you'd like. Also a couple really good books with well-done rep, though that might be harder to hide all things considered.

I kept explaining I didn’t have that power. The manager kept explaining that we can't change the total in the register. It was a very stressful day. I also had to deal with a Karen who had badgered my boss into letting her get the most expensive items free in our two for one sale. She then screamed at me through the whole purchase causing me to get flustered and make mistakes which only caused more screaming. The manager had to take over and later I got a lecture about how I should have done more to keep the lady calm. Kind of hard to do when she started the transaction by calling me stupid and then proceeded to yell at me for every move I made. Stores really need to stop bowing down to Karen temper tantrum’s.

15:16 My favourite personal "I'm never coming back here!" customer experiences came when I worked in a small supermarket chain in the uk which was owned by a larger chain. My small town had two supermarkets, and by coincidence of them originally being completely different companies, it was us and the larger company. Sometimes we'd have to go work in the larger supermarket, that kinda relationship. So every time I had customers tell me they were "NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN!!" it was usually because we charged 2p for bags (which wasn't standard back then) and some people would literally refuse to even complete a purchase and yell at me about it. Some would explicitly tell me they were only going to shop at the larger chain from now... the larger chain paid my wages and with all the love in the world to my colleagues in that store, never having those awful customers again AND knowing they were still paying my wages was always wonderful.
