    Someone in a school I worked in changed from saying ‘specific’ to ‘pacific’ just because the deputy head said it that way.

    There was this one time. I saw a guy. He picked up a boot, and licked it.

    “Woah.” I said to myself.

    “That,” I went on, in my interior voice, “is an egregious example of boot-licking.”

    That’s it. That’s my story. Subscribe and hit the ‘like’ button.

      I got banned from reddit for a year for commenting the word “good” under the announcement that the Queen was dead.

        You can be anti-monarchist without being an insensitive arse about it. I’d like the institution to die, I’m not celebrating when an old lady died.

    most commonly:

    1. people working extra hard with hopes of rising the ranks
    2. workers trying to capture more executive style roles as assistants to make bosses work easier

    In person? My first job was pretty sweet, pretty much everyone understood worker solidarity, even most of the management was good people. One day i warned my friend that i was probably not going to show up the next day, you know just giving him a heads up. Well this new hire overheard and apparently went to management over it! I got chewed out by the only guy in management that acted like managing a shitty big box store in the middle of bumfuck nowhere was a holy calling worthy of power and respect.

    Ending unrelated to the boot licking; after that, this prick has the audacity to act like i was his buddy he could be a bigot with. don’t know why he thought i was his guy there (i was white and the most heteronormative looking man in tht department, but even then i openly hated him and was super close with the openly and obviously not cishet guy) but i got him fired over it.

    I should be a little grateful though, he taught me that not every homosapien is a real person.

    People that need permission to feel outrage at a genocide then call Muslims who’s families have been slaughtered, “single issue voters” to try and bully them into voting for the guy bypassing congress to send money to the war criminal implicated in the genocide.
