A teacher in my Catholic grade school was also the mother of one of my classmates. He was kind of a bully, so when I had a birthday party I didn’t invite him. She confronted me about it and would go out of her way to make school miserable for me. When my parents brought it up to the administration she denied it. Now, I wasn’t actually catholic, just went there because it was a nice school.. so as an actual member of the parish she was believed over me. I ended up needing to move schools before I got the the grade that she taught.
In HIGH SCHOOL, I was suspended for letting out a little toot.
We were almost out of ice cream, I made myself the last bowl. I came into the living room to eat it and my dad took it and ate it all because I didn’t offer him any. I was about 8. I’m 41 and I still hide while eating bowls of ice cream.
Not being allowed to have any other food during cookouts other than a lukewarm grilled hotdog, or an overdone hamburger. Because apparently everything else is “grownup food”. Geez, I’m glad I’m an adult now for small reasons like that
Back when i was 17, i moved to NYC with a friend for three month, to work as an intern. That was my first time living in a dorm full of strangers in a foreign country where i knew the language haphazardly(just started really using what i learned at school) . The day I got there, i was sitting in the kitchen with my friend, just joking and our usual gimmicks. Some tennants show up and were introduced to me. A couple from detroit where also there. I noticed the boyfriend being distant but thought nothing of it and there was no interaction between us whatsoever. A few weeks later the girlfriend came up to me, told me i need to apologize to her boyfriend. I asked why. She said, because i was making fun of him the day i arrived and he held a grudge since then.
I was thinking what the fuck, i was joking with my friends hours before i even saw your fat ass entered. You 30 yrs old butt got hurt by some girls yalking in german and giggling and just automatically made the connection between our laughs and your weight?
But shy young me, went to apologize anyway and was made to listen to him lecturing me about manners….
