Ordinary Person: You know, you don't have to eat chocolate 'just because it's there'
Me: *looks up from my family size block of Cadburys* ... You know, you don't have to breathe oxygen 'just because it's there', AND YET HERE WE ARE.
Dolly Parton didnāt spend her dollars on space travel or a trip to the titanic because she was writing checks to put 150 million books in the hands of children.
When I was little, my mom used to lock herself in the car for a few minutes after running errands with us so she could āsort herself.ā I had no idea what that meant until I had kids and now Iām like, āOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.ā
People think that as your kids get older you have more freedom but if that were true I wouldnāt be standing in the kitchen eating this chocolate bar out of an empty banana peel
When 19-year-old Dairy Queen manager, Joey Prusak was serving a blind customer, he noticed the man drop a $20 bill.
The woman behind the blind man grabbed the $20 bill and put it in her purse.
Prusak then instructed the woman to return the money. After she said no, the teenager made her leave. āI told her, āMaāam, you can either return the $20 bill or you can leave the store, because Iām not going to serve someone as disrespectful as you.'"
The woman left. But then, Prusak returned to the blind man and gave him $20 of his money.
Prusak notes, "I was just doing what I thought was right. I did it without even really thinking about it."

"This is a grateful shout-out to Corey at the McDonalds in Florence, U.S. off Exit 42 on Dixie Highway.
I pulled in around 11:59 p.m. needing a coffee after working on my business from 5 a.m. to midnight. I was worried if I didnāt get a coffee, I would fall asleep driving the hour home.
I pulled up in the drive thru and asked what time they closed.
He politely says, 'Maāam, we close in 45 seconds.' I replied, 'Well, thatās okay then. I donāt want you to deal with this old last minute customer. Thank you and have a good night.'
He replied, 'No, maāam. Iām here to help you with anything you want on the menu. What would you like?'
After going back and fourth, I gave him my Mocha Latte order. He was so very polite.
Most have said in the past, 'my machine is down,' or do not even answer at all when Iāve pulled up 10 minutes before closing.
Corey was pleasant and had EXCELLENT customer service skills!
I WILL be calling to report this to corporate and to his local manager. I told him he probably saved my life allowing me to get that coffee...I jokingly laughed, but was also serious. I was so tired.
Thank You Corey for ending my long day with such kindness."

I'm pretty sure that if I got fired from my job but refused to leave & then sent a bunch of crazy people to bash in the windows, build a gallows to hang my coworker & smear poop on the walls, and then when I finally did leave, I took a mountain of nuclear secrets with me, refused to give them back, moved them all around my gilded golf motel including into my chandelier shitter & showed them off to my pals all while lying about having them in the first place, I wouldn't be allowed to tour the country saying I was never really fired and that I deserve to get my old job back.
But what do I know.

You're a far better person than I.. He would have been blocked after the first comment with me as I have zero patience.. But where's the comedic value in that?!! šš¤£
Luckily, hitting my late 30s seems to have cleared up any issues I had with randoms hitting on me! š¤£š
