From Not Always Right: Wow, Misogynists And Homophobes Really DO Go Together!
I’m in line to check out at a pet store. The guy up at the register has a bag of guinea pig food or bedding or something, and between him and me is someone who looks like he looked up “Grumpy Old Man stereotypes” and used it as a checklist.
Cashier: “All right, your total is [total], we also have these ‘Guinea Dad’ and ‘Guinea Mom’ bumper stickers for just a dollar if you like!”
Guinea Pig Guy: “Ooo, yeah, I’ll take the ‘Guinea Mom’, please.”
Grumpy Old Man: Scoffs
Cashier: “All right, here you go, your new total is [total].”
Grumpy Old Man: “PUT IT BACK!”
Cashier & Guinea Pig Guy: “What?”
Grumpy Old Man: “He’s got a f****** beard! It’s bad enough that he’s got some [gay slur] pet like that little rat. Don’t let him act like a woman! Put that f****** thing back!“
Guinea Pig Guy: “…So, anyway, my wife, who is the one who takes care of the guinea pig, would love that sticker, yes. Also, do you guys sell baby food? Someone left their infant here and he’s crying loudly.”
The cashier made a visible effort to not burst out laughing. I made no such effort and doubled over, especially when the Grumpy Old Baby impotently banged his cart a few times and stormed out
If it makes her feel any better after already feeding on seals orcas will often play with live baby seals by flipping them in the air and catching them. Then they will push the still alive baby seal back up onto the shore, so it doesn’t drown from exhaustion. This shows that they know how to manage and conserve their food supply. The playing with their food part is rather brutal though.
With the decline of service after my provider was purchased by a company I shall not name as “Verizon”, I spent much time on the phone and chat lines trying to sort out the problems caused by the switch and then changing to a different company. The people on those help lines are well trained, patient, and courteous and for all my frustration with the company, they always made things better. These courtesies and training should not be confined to inept corporations, but taught to us all to make the world a better place. Happy trails!
She should watch the video of a group (a.k.a. a bale) of turtles helping another turtle, that has flipped over in a cement pond, right itself. Simply charming. And no, I didn’t know that a group of turtles was called a bale until I decided to write this.
I’m right there with ya, sis. The world needs not only more kindness, but more of the kind of people who make us want to be kind (which means fewer magats)

In the UK we call the sea turtle a turtle; a land turtle is a tortoise. (‘TOR-tuhs’)

Not necessarily fake. See on PBS in the series “Spy in the Ocean” episode 3 “Deep Feelings.”
