This cashier at a bodega thought I was retarded because I had a really bad block when asking for chapstick. He then proceeded to overcharge me by 100 dollars for my chapstick thinking I'd be too retar...

how to find a job with a severe stutter? I'm worried about that I'm 20F. Currently I'm studying at University. 2,5 years behind, after 1,5 years I'll finish it. It's very hard for me to study with sev...

Older generations I dont think know how mean they are being. I did a Mad-lib in (catholic) grade school once. I put very vulgar words in there. Well the nun saw it, printed it out, and had me recite t...
