  • These posts always make me question myself because I’ve basically never worn deodorant or antiperspirant.

    I’ve had jobs where you can’t be stinky(sales,office jobs, at a hospital), and nobody has ever said anything. I’ve lived with partners for 16 years, none have ever complained about my smell(besides times when anyone would smell, like after a long run on a hot day).

    I’m guessing I just have lucky personal body chemistry, but I’m sure there will be some people telling themselves I’m just smelly and don’t know it.







  • I was at BJ's wholesale, where they always check every receipt. Usually it's just a cursory glance, but one day they had some cop wannabe checking off every item on the receipt, causing a huge backup. I pushed my cart past the line and left. The guy chased me out into the parking lot, took my plate number and told me he was calling the cops. Nothing came of it, but it embarrassed the shit out of my partner.

    I went home and did a bunch of research. From what I found, there aren't a lot of cases that addressed the issue, but I found a two civil cases where people were physically detained after refusing to show their receipt. They sued for false arrest and their cases were both dismissed. I'm not a lawyer and there may be newer case law on this.

    I hate the checks, but it isn't worth it to me to risk dealing with cops when I'm not getting anything from it and making someone else's job harder.
