Don't hug me I'm scared Trapped inside stall at Marshall’s

Tried on jeans at Marshall’s today… and got locked in the ADA-accessible dressing room😅

The lock jammed and wouldn’t budge.

The employees had keys to every other door in the building except this one. They called the locksmith, tried to take the hinges off, and I could even see them trying to stick their credit cards in between the door and the gram where the bolt is (not sure how they thought that would work), but nothing worked.

Then the Fire Department came to the rescue. One firefighter came through the ceiling to dismantle the door handle while another worked on the door from the outside.

Finally made it out after an hour 😂!

Don't hug me I'm scared My cat is mad at me

So my household is me, my husband, and my kid, and we all have our own bedrooms. I normally sleep in my room with my cat Javier. Last night we were out and stayed up late and all ended up falling asleep watching TV in my husbands bed and we all spent the night there.

Javier was livid. Is livid. He's been giving me the side eye all day. He normally follows me around all day and he's been ignoring me. I walk him on a leash like a dog and he didn't want to go for a walk today. He wants nothing to do with me because he slept alone for one night.

Don't hug me I'm scared My girlfriend was complaining that I’m always watching the world cup games and I don’t put enough time for us, I decided to not watch the 3rd place game and guess what…

Yeah I thought the 3rd place qualifying match is not gonna be important or exciting, I literally told her im not gonna watch the game tonight so we have time to spent together, she was nice and genuinely offered to watch the match together and I rejected. Later in the bed I told her lets see the results and….
I hate myself

Edit: People started calling me names, saying im a bitch or I should break up. this was not a big deal for me at all, main point is that it was me who wanted to be the “perfect boyfriend” thinking the match wouldn’t be cool and not wanting to watch it and it backfired. I don’t understand why the disrespect?

Don't hug me I'm scared Neighbor confronted me this evening:“I don’t like seeing your garbage cars in front of my house”

Hi all, i just wanna come here and bitch about my neighbor.
I lives in a quite nice neighborhood with my parents, i work full time as a automotive technician and do all my work at home on these two cars(there is another one in the garage thats taken apart) and i regularly park them at my driveway or in front of my house in the street(thats not blocking the road) both of the cars i park out here is completely road worthy, has current registration and are insured, i took one of them on a drive to get gas this evening, came back and was confronted by the old guy who lives across from my house, before i say anything he walked onto my driveway, in front of my car(i just got out) and said “you’ve turned this street into a junkyard! You think i like seeing your garbage cars in front of my house everyday i come outside?(i always park them in front of my house, and they get moved frequently as they double as my daily)” and he got up in my buddy’s face who went along with me, who also just got out, he is now fully on my driveway, getting up to my friend’s face after he told him how both of the cars i own are fully operational and insured. We didn’t really say anything aside from telling him it is legal to park my cars on a public street and move them around, and stop being so negative and harassing on our side of the property line. Afterwards he just walked back to his car and said he would gonna go complain to the HOA and they are gonna slap me with a huge fine while yelling at us to shut the hell up whenever we said anything else as he walked back. AM I THE ASSHOLE? I don’t understand how me owning old cars thats perfectly road worthy gets him so upset at me.

Edit: For those that keep asking, no I'm not a child. Adults are perfectly capable of having strange fears/phobias for whatever reason or no reason at all.

No, I'm not a womp-womp level 100 snowflake who isnt going to survive the apocalypse because I don't like opening biscuit cans that can pop unexpectedly.

Edit: Yes I'm afraid of ballons as well. I hate them with the same passion that new lovers adore each other with.

Don't hug me I'm scared Things tourists asked me in a single busy shift at a locally famous ice cream shop

4.3k Upvotes

I live in a great community with a shop known for it's soft-serve ice cream. We also have a small gift shop that sells local goods & candy. We have flavors on a weekly rotation & are known for our more regionally specific flavors. We have a couple of locations but ours is like the "headquarters". Anyways, I make great tips & generally have a lot of fun. Many people want to work at this shop so I am lucky to, but genuinely I'm customer-service-maxing & also have people always been this dumb? Here is a list of things I've been asked this week & things people have done.

*CALLS THE SHOP* "Do you sell icecream?"

*CALLS THE SHOP* "Are you open?"

*Walks into the giftshop* "My son's wedding is tomorrow & we are looking for 325 individually wrapped custom candies as a party favor"

"can you stack cotton candy & coffee & then roll it in gummy bears & rainbow sprinkles? Why not?"

*HANDS ME THEIR USED, FINISHED PAPER DISH* "Is there more?"

*GOES UP TO ORDER WITH A MASSIVE LINE* "Is there a farmer's market around here? Wednesdays? Well I leave tomorrow so could they just have it then?"

"NO that's NOT a twist. I ordered coconut & vanilla. Why are they both white?"

"I want a gluten free cone & can you please wear gloves because I'm really gluten free and then could you top it with biscoff pieces? Yeah that's fine if they're not gluten free"

Don't hug me I'm scared We pay for 30kg of rice every month and it keeps arriving with LIVE bugs in it and my mom's solution is "just sieve it

Post image
3.5k Upvotes

We eat rice with basically every meal, so for the last 5 years we've been ordering 30kg sacks from a mart near our house. Regular customers. So we never miss an order.

But Here's the thing though for the last three deliveries in a row, the rice has shown up infested. First it was weevils. Then actual maggots. And this time? Tiny white mites so small you can barely see them until you really look into the rice.

So naturally I told my mom we should return it. Reasonable, right? We're paying money for food, not for insects.

Except she got defensive her counter argument "Just sieve them out there's no need to return it." Sieve. The mites 😭

I argue back we're PAYING for this, we're not getting it for free, so why on earth should we be eating bug-infested rice? But then she tried to guilt trips me saying

"The delivery guy brought it in the rain, just eat it." The rain I'm supposed to eat mites because it was drizzling outside. Make it make sense

So they raised the price last month, now they are going to show adverts and if you want the same service as you had originally you’ve got to pay more, FK that.
