I once did an entire project in Korean so that my racist white teacher couldn’t grade it, and when she tried to go to the Dean, I was allowed to bc of a loophole in the project rules, and that hoe gave me a 100 by default https://t.co/BxGAbgz4v0 pic.twitter.com/ZWcPBUPkn6

Not me but my mums cousin found out her husband was having an affair so before she left she sewed shrimp into the hems of the curtains. Eventually the smell got so bad for the husband that he moved house, and took the curtains with him https://t.co/fhGiubc9Z2

Once, I ordered a macchiato at a coffee shop and the barista condescendingly said, “you won’t like it. It’s not super sweet like it is at Starbucks.”

And you know what? I didn’t like it. But I still ordered it every time I visited that coffee shop until it shut down. https://t.co/6mKTlbcUBt

My husband's friend was staying with us, but he stopped paying rent and refused to move out and the cops wouldn't kick him out. So one day I took the couch we were letting him sleep on and hacked it into pieces with an axe. He was gone the next day. https://t.co/5xqgNpIcto

On Mother’s Day in Safeway in 2015, this woman was upset she was in the wrong place in line, arguing with me about how my mother should’ve raised me better.

She on the phone talking about buying shrimp, so I bought 25 pounds worth of it to ensure she couldn’t have any. https://t.co/6pIZSqA4yf

As a teenager, I decided to sew closed (via the sewing machine) the fly on several pair of my step-dad’s cotton boxer shorts. Reason: he was a bit annoying and I had skills. (I did not get in trouble and he was the first of a few step-dads.)

Coworker who claimed to be hypersensitive to ALL cleaning products. Selective reactions, to say the least. 🙄
She came in one afternoon & I proceeded to spray down every surface. She started gasping.
I waited a minute or 2 before announcing she must be allergic to H20.

Woman accused me of stealing an article she’d written on her website. I’d written mine 9 yrs before hers. I went to SEM Rush, found all her most popular articles, wrote articles on the same topics and outranked her on Google.
