A Customer Accidentally Ghosted a Struggling Local Restaurant, Then Made Good

I grew up in a small town. There were a couple of local pizza joints and they were both delicious. I remember getting excited whenever a time would come when we could go pick up from there. Then, when I was about 13, a Pizza Hut came to town. We were a small enough place that this was an event. I met the manager, my older sister got her first job working there, there were parties and get-togethers, it was something special.

Unfortunately, it also meant the other places shut down. Pizza Hut, the gargantuan national chain, just swept in and took all the business. That was my first exposure to the concept of economic competition and how the big guys thrive while the little guys struggle, even when the little guys are just as good or better. I was also introduced to the idea that where we choose to spend our money makes a difference.

Local businesses and restaurants have a perilous enough time in general. When there’s economic downturn, every little order can matter. Which is why this story from Reddit user Wellworn5 on r/TIFU (Today I F*cked Up) makes for such a satisfying read. Check it out.

Part 1: The Absent Order

Part 2: The Name

Part 3: The Mix-up

Part 4: The Abandonment

Part 5: The Reconciliation

Part 6: The Gratitude

Epilogue: Support Local

Epilogue Part 2: Plot Holes

I’m sure this customer wasn’t the only one telling this story afterward. Little things like this add up quick, especially in tough times. Think through what you can do today.

What’s your favorite local spot you hope people will support?

Great Tumblr Posts About Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Nintendo has never really been about pushing the limits of technology. They focus on novelty, and wide appeal, and just, well, fun games.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons might have seemed like an unlikely pick for one of the best selling games of all time – but with a whole lot of people being stuck at home meant that New Horizons became Nintendo’s third most successful game launch ever.

Naturally, that means the internet is talking about it a lot. And some of the best takes are coming from Tumblr.

Women Share What They Think is the Worst Thing About Being a Man

I’m what you might call “a man.” And as far as being a man in this society, I really don’t have many complaints. But this post by Reddit user canadianreject565 was nonetheless interesting. They ask:

Women of Reddit, what do you think would be the worst thing about being a man? from AskReddit

There were over 37 thousand responses. Some of them from men who didn’t seem to read the first three words of the question, but many from women putting in their two cents. The results were interesting.

1 . Finances.

The constant pressure in society that the man has to pay for meals, drinks, etc. I feel like it all would add up really quickly.

– WaffleDeWisdom

2. Emotional burdens.

As a woman, I think we feel more comfortable crying and expressing our sadness.

Men get sad too, and it’s about time they feel free to express it as easily as women do.

– [user deleted]

3. A lack of outlets.

Not having your emotions taken seriously, then lashing out because of it and then seen as violent because you just want to be understood.

I had that with abusive parents but normally people don’t treat me that way because I’m a woman.

I can’t imagine what an entire life of not having your feelings acknowledged in a healthy way feels like.

“Suck it up and be a man”

– Plantdas

4. Do we even lift, bro?

People expecting that I could fight.

– MultipleAutism

5. Childcare problems.

Not being able to take care of children without getting dirty looks.

– [user deleted]

6. Shoutout to this user for calling out the “man cold” thing.

I would not be allowed a moment of weakness.

Bad day? You can’t cry unless your mother just died.

Hurt yourself? Suck it up and go to the hospital.

Feeling self conscious about your body? Nobody cares.

Feeling ill? SoMOne HaS a MaN COld!!!!!

– LondonFogAddict91

7. Some instances may be rarer, but nonetheless unjust.

Being arrested for defending myself against an abusive partner.

– theflexorcist

8. Don’t do the creep.

Being called creepy if I don’t look the best or if I try to get a girl

– HappyLittleAccident4

9. A perspective on education.

I’d be afraid to be a male teacher.

How easy would it be to give a girl student a grade a failing grade they deserve or just pissing them off any kind of way, but it’s a crazy one who ends up accusing you of something awful?

– huggedup

10. Don’t add insult to injury.

Being abused in public by a women and having people laugh instead of intervening to help you.

– Mooncakequeen

11. Everyone should be allowed their freedom and dignity.

Having an even harsher reaction when I’d go against gender roles.

​I mean as a woman, there’s backlash sometimes, but there’s a whole movement very publicized that tells me that I can do whatever I want, and fuck the nay-sayer.

​I don’t feel a man that would want to do something “for girls” or “for woman” as that much support.

– Marawal

12. Just take it.

Most women think there’s nothing wrong with being abusive and cruel with men. It’s so upsetting watching women treat men like absolute shit.

To top it off, men are expected to still act like “a gentleman” and also they’re not allowed to feel vulnerable, or to feel sad, angry because some lady was just “a little sassy” when in reality she was being abusive piece of shit

– NeuroticCrab

13. Under pressure.

Being expected to be the “breadwinner” generally by society

Being less likely to gain custody of my own kids in a separation

Being “disposable” in times of war

– AmyBums88

14. Fewer fish in the sea.

Overall, I think it’s more difficult for guys to get dates.

– bduk6

15. Watch yourself.

I talk a lot of shit for a 5’4″ girl.

I’d be getting my ass beaten on a daily basis.

– anokayapple

I’d be interested to see if anyone has yet posted the reverse of this, and collected the results.

What would your answer to this question be?

Families That Were Total Relationship Dealbreakers for People

When you’ve been dating someone for a while, at some point you will meet each other’s families. It’s usually not a huge deal (but bonus points if you really like them), but apparently sometimes it’s a total turnoff.

I would never have thought it, but these 12 stories totally changed my mind – I wouldn’t have stayed in these relationships either!

12. There’s definitely something not right there.

“I had a boyfriend who had a creepy habit of flirting with his mother. His mother was equally odd and made loud comments about my sex life with her son. She’d also ring me up to nag me into moving in with him. She was, in all honesty, one of the reasons I broke off the relationship.”

11. Oh my god, she was dating George Costanza!

“My ex’s family had this tradition of insulting the birthday boy/girl while they sat silently eating a slice of cake. The rules were you could say anything and they just had to take it. When it was my ex’s sister’s birthday, they said really awful things to her, then turned to me — as I sat there, shocked — and said, ‘Don’t you have anything to add? Play the game with us!’

I was like, ‘Nah, man. I just met all of you yesterday.’ I knew then that I never wanted to celebrate my birthday with them because it would end with me in tears. Luckily, he dumped me in front of my whole family about three months later (during our Christmas party!).”

10. That’s a double NO right there.

“I was about to have sex with a guy when his mother walked into his place to pick up his laundry.”

9. I’ve gotta think this was a sign.

“My ex left my birthday party because his mom called him and told him she wanted a pizza. He didn’t come back, either, even though he lived less than 10 minutes away.”

8. Definitely an awkward situation to walk into.

“This guy brought me home to meet his parents, but I wasn’t aware that they weren’t on board with his orientation. He introduced me to his mom, who stared daggers at me, as if to say, ‘Why the hell are you with my son?!’

When we went to his room to hang out, I could see he was texting his mom. They were texting in Spanish, which I can read, and she was pissed: ‘I forbid this. I am your mother!’”

7. I’m sorry, what was that?

“My boyfriend’s mom decided I was a witch because I gave him one of those cute little ‘voodoo’ dolls that were popular a while back. (It was themed for luck on exams because he was nervous about midterms.)

Apparently, the logical response to your son dating a witch was to have a family friend ceremoniously burn chicken bones and then stash them around your kid’s dorm to get rid of the girlfriend. I guess technically it worked?”

6. What kind of grown woman does this?

“My high school boyfriend’s mother referred to me as his ‘little whore.’ First of all — ew, slut shaming — but he was also the first boy I ever kissed and I was a virgin, so it was all very confusing.” 

5. That sounds unsanitary.

“They were massive hoarders! They had magazines piled up in their living room from 15 years before, and when they moved, they filled an ENTIRE 18-foot moving truck, four cars, and a pickup truck with their junk.

When I tried to convince them to get rid of some
old broken furniture, his dad snapped at me.
They were convinced that when they died, their kids would be able to sell all the stuff and make a huge chunk of money.”

4. I can see how that happened.

 “I once dated a 25-year-old guy who told me that he enjoyed cuddling in bed with his 23-year-old sister. I always tried to forget it, but I never really could. It just spoiled the relationship for me.” 

3. She didn’t even feel bad. That’s diabolical.

“My partner’s mum was bitching about me on Facebook and didn’t realize I could see it. When I called her out on it, she said, ‘Oh well, shit happens.’” 

2. How does that even work?

“My ex’s mom reported me to the police for ‘kidnapping’ him when he came to my house once.” 

1. This just keeps getting worse.

“I once went on a couple dates with a guy on my block who I found out lived in a tiny studio apartment the size of a small single-car garage with his mom. He was 25 and they shared a bed.”

People are so awful, truly. I think I can never be more stunned by it, and then…

Has this ever happened to you?

People Who Broke off Relationships After Meeting Their Partner’s Family

One of the big moments in any romantic relationship is being asked over to meet the other person’s family – one at a time or all at once, it can be a daunting experience.

Most people don’t expect that they will adore their partner’s family, every last one, but most of us also don’t go into the situation figuring they’re going to spell the end for your budding love affair.

For these 13 people, though, their partner’s family was a total dealbreaker.

13. This is the grossest thing I’ve read in a while.

“The first day I met my ex’s father, he bragged about how he left his ex-wife (my ex’s mom) because she wasn’t enough of a trophy wife for him, and that is what he deserved. He then told us his current girlfriend was originally his housekeeper, but he ‘just couldn’t keep his hands off of her.’”

12. I honestly don’t want to know the rest.

“His mother told me she’d always sort of had a crush on her own son — after admitting that he slept in her bed until he was 12, which was coincidentally when she got remarried.” 

11. He’s lucky he didn’t get punched in the face.

“My ex’s dad called me a ‘doxy’ while in an argument with my ex. After some googling, I found out it essentially means ‘whore.’” 

10. This is way too much information.

“After I slept with my ex for the first time, his mom said to me, ‘Doesn’t my son have a really big dick? His brothers’ aren’t that big, and he definitely didn’t get it from his dad.’”

9. I would have run away screaming, too.

“When I was 18, I met my boyfriend’s mother after a couple of weeks of dating him. She freaked out, told me I was the perfect girlfriend, and immediately started asking when we would get married.”

8. This is awful.

“He took me to meet his parents and neglected to tell them that I’m black. The looks of sheer horror on their faces made me want to leave immediately. Over dinner, his mom kept saying ‘I hope this food is alright, I don’t know what ‘you people’ eat’.

His dad asked what my parents do, I said dad is a welder and mom is a custodian at the high school. He responded with ‘typical.’ I stood up, walked out, and called my dad from a 7-11 pay phone. Never spoke to that guy again.”

7. It’s like a gender-swapped Jane Eyre.

“My ex’s dad lived in her attic. I only found out when I walked in on him using the bathroom (with the door open) in the middle of the night. I woke up my ex in a panic and said we needed to call the police because there was a strange man in her house, and she explained that it was her father. He never properly introduced himself beyond saying ‘Sorry we met ass-first,’ and everyone else acted like it was completely normal.”

6. Image the complexes she would give your future kids.

“My ex’s mom photoshopped my face in all of our pictures because I ‘just needed a few things fixed.’”

5. What is happening here?

“My ex’s mother referred to her ex-husband, son, and DOG as ‘my lover’ and every time we were over, she would insist on sitting in my ex’s lap on a loveseat across the room while I sat on the couch alone. No regrets on getting out of that one.”

4. She knew they were close but not close.

“I started dating one of my friend’s brothers. I knew my friend and her brother were close, but I didn’t know how close. The longer we dated, the creepier it got. The last straw was when a big incident happened at our house and he kissed her face all over and consoled her while she was crying instead of me.”

3. I would have left halfway through.

“When I first went over to my ex’s parents’ house for dinner, I did the polite thing and offered to help clean up after eating. I ended up doing all the washing up for a six-person dinner alone.”

2. This sounds completely gross and unsanitary.

“My ex’s parents had 20+ dogs. The dogs were split into three groups which could not mingle without attacking the other groups. At any given time, I was suffocated by at least seven dogs in their tiny, cluttered house. They had to rotate the groups of dogs through the designated sleep, eat, and potty areas. You can probably imagine how well that went.”

1. That girl needs some therapy.

“My ex’s sister told me she’d break my neck if I didn’t like her, and his mom said I was pretty but would be prettier if i got a nose job.” 

These are just awful and I cannot believe people like this exist in the world.

Has anything like this ever happened to you?

Hacks for Getting Through the Long Days Stuck at Home

A lot of us never planned on spending quite so much time alone with our kids. I’m mostly a stay-at-home parent, and before all of this madness, we went on some kind of outing every single day – the library, art class, music class, the park, the splash pad – and those mornings out helped my sanity.

Parents now are having to get creative (my own attempts have been hit or miss), and these 13 people really tapped into their most-genius minds to come up with these fantastic hacks.

11. That might work with older kids.

My toddlers would pull it off, put it on their head, and run inside the room.

Tired of your kids barging in while you try to get some work done at home? Underwear on the doorknob works wonders! from funny

10. If you gotta play LEGO, at least make yourself something pretty.

I bet she could sell those, actually.

9. I mean, you need ice for your beverages.

This is very industrious!

8. This is seriously next level.

I’m not doing it, but I’m impressed.

7. It probably entertained her kids for several minutes, too.

A double bonus, then, because those are lovely.

6. Put those ladies to work!

They’re supposed to be hardworking princesses and stuff, right?

5. Those diapers have MANY uses.

They’re not great at absorbing poop, but you know. Other stuff.

4. That’s one way to get your kids to pay attention.

And it’s also gross.

3. There’s literally no other way to keep them out of the cabinets.

And this won’t work, either, but at least you’ll have a clean house.

I’m working from home for the next 3 weeks. I have ONE child. Y’all mommas with one child know how bored they can get…

Posted by Stephanie Craig on Friday, March 20, 2020

2. This is brilliant.

That one blessed hour I can’t imagine.

1. That seems like a learning experience, too.

Girls that code ftw!

"Daaaad, we’re bored!" (Day 1 of lockdown)"ummm ok, strip this laptop down, and this desktop, and then rebuild them"….my god it’s the most peace and quiet I’ve had all week! from pcmasterrace

I’m definitely going to be trying these, how about you?

How are you keeping your littles entertained and contained while you try to work or keep the house clean or stop them from eating all of the snacks in a single day?
