    I do this kind of shit all the time

    Not so much cause I’ve got attitude or whatever

    More so cause I feel like if I give people an opportunity to be or at least sound progressive they might take it and find themselves enjoying it

    What can I say? I’m often around people who are more ignorant than they are evil

    I gotta develop an attitude like this.

    Don’t let you dreams just be dreams!

    The only way that gender “norms” crumble is through collective effort!

    EDIT: NGL this kind of stuff was my favorite shit to do while I was in the drive through.

    This is similar to when I was talking to a customer at my call center jpb and I need we d to confirm someone’s identity. They gave their husband’s full name and their first name, not Husband & wife first name’s then last name.

    Because of that I asked, and what’s your last name, she responds, “the same as my husbands,”. As if that is just what you do when you get married. So I reiterated, “and what is that name again?” She gave it but I could tell she didn’t like the fact i was just doing my job.

    Much like people assume that toys belong to specific genders last name’s belong to the husband. I’m married my wife didn’t take my name and we didn’t hyphenate. Why bother?

        Brains are optional.

        That’s why smart people choose to use them.

        Smarter people know how to have fun by turning them off and back on when it’s called for.

        So I think your fine. A dumb person wouldn’t even realize their brain is off :p

      These people have an inherent need to bend others to their worldview. It’s just a shitty belligerent move to get the other person to validate their bigotry.

      Because the server clearly understood. People tend to be aware of stereotypes. The person clearly wanted to enforce/reinforce stereotypes. Some people get combative when they get push back.

      Where is the drama in that? How are you going to post on your Facebook page about McDonald’s trying to turn your kid gay?
