I used to love working retail because of the stories I have like this, so I figured I would make a funny post about my favorites.

The SUV For Sale

A man comes in and I see him asking one of my coworkers a few questions. I think nothing of it until I see him go up to another coworker of mine and ask a few more. Nothing seemed particularly off when he then came up to me.

“Do you know the APR on that vehicle for sale outside?”

“Oh, no, I sure don’t. Maybe the dealership it’s associated with would be able to give you that info if you talk to them?”

He huffs and puffs, actually angry with me at this point and says, “Well, why don’t you know?!?”

I worked in a clothing store. Lmao

The Bathroom is Out of Order

Same store. Their bathroom would go out rather regularly and it was frustrating for everyone, customers and employees alike. It was the only bathroom the store had and it was attached to the mall’s plumbing so the store itself couldn’t do anything about fixing it.

A man comes in with his toddler-aged son and asks to use the restroom. I kindly tell them it’s unfortunately out of order.

He scoffs angrily, “well, I’m going to blog about this!”

It was 2018. Lmao No one blogs anymore. Enjoy that, my guy.

The Bathroom is Out of Order pt 2: Electric Boogaloo

An older gentleman walks in and the bathroom is closed for plumbing repairs. I politely tell him the bathroom is out of order.

He’s big mad, “you people just don’t want me to use the bathroom and you’re purposely keeping me out of it! I can’t believe this!”

Because someone will ask, he was a white boomer. lol I have no idea where he got this sentiment.

The Stinky Dress Return

This is a story that happened to my mother, who owned her own prom dress store. She had passed away but I love retelling this excellent story.

A woman came in wanting to return a prom dress she bought for her daughter. My mother was smart and had every sale come with a contract they signed saying we do not accept returns, but there were always exceptions to be made in regard to customer service.

The reasonable complaint for the return was that the dress’ zipper broke and the daughter wasn’t able to wear it to her prom. My mother was very kind and went to look the dress over to confirm, but noticed the dress absolutely reeked of sweat and body odor.

My mother politely rejected the return but offered to fix the zipper free of charge. The woman was very upset and stormed out of the store.

My mother was a firecracker and didn’t hold back once the woman left. She turned to her store manager and said, “I think that girl’s boyfriend broke the zipper trying to get it off of her because it smelled like she had a good time!”

Hope you guys enjoyed these!

Why are we crying? Let’s celebrate! New month, new r/Pensacola! 🥰

No judgment because I don’t remember at all. My reusable bags sit in the cupboard and I forget them. I try to make a plan to remember them by placing them on the counter where I can see them but I still forget them. I’m kind of okay with it because I reuse the plastic bags they give me as trash can liners and kitty poop bags.

I guess my disability will be the sole reason for climate change. Sorry, guys! 🙃

I’m still processing it. I didn’t even name PMDD, I just told my doctor my symptoms and I specifically said, “my therapist and I both believe this to be a hormonal issue.” He didn’t even tell me PMDD, I just saw it on the paperwork.

I’ve known I have PMDD for over a year now, but today it’s on my medical file and I’m officially diagnosed.

I’m relieved, but anxious. I keep finding my brain asking “what does this mean going forward?” My body is holding anxiety and I feel that for sure, but I know I’m relieved that a professional heard my symptoms and thought the same thing as me.

It’s a lot. But I’m glad I have a name for this and an explanation for why half my life has seemed uncontrollable. Here’s hoping I get a good treatment plan figured out. 🙂

I AM NOT ASKING FOR MEDICAL ADVICE. THANK YOU.

I was scared I was going to be late so I planned to run into school traffic.

In June.

Where I live, schools get out for summer in May. Lmao

ADHD brain…

I don’t have any questions or need any advice. I just wanted y’all to know. 💕

I thought about roaching it but I want to have some fun with it before I go directly there. It’s just so hot, I hate how much he sweats under his mane.

He’s a quarter horse so his mane isn’t super thick but it’s also not thin. Open to all ideas except dying it. He’s fully retired so quality of life is the main (mane 🤪) focus.

Give me your silliest cuts!

I got involved with a guy last year who taught me a new psychological manipulation tactic called triangulation. He was constantly saying this other woman is funnier than me and that other woman has so much in common with him. I was never fully chosen and he had me in quite a state.

I usually stay away from comparisons because it’s detrimental to my mental health. I do it to myself and have had to work to change that behavior in me. I don’t use most social media because of it.

I only found out about this triangulation term today and feel it fits. I always felt so confused but now I have a word for it. It’s very validating and even relieving.

Has anyone else experienced this? It’s taking me a lot of therapeutic work to move on from and it’s been a very difficult journey to recovery since it affected my self-esteem so deeply. I’m still working through it and sensitive to the topic, if I’m honest. What has helped you?
