Dancing #2 is finally done

[darkaviarymc]

Between the two biggest Mustang ships in this fandom (royai and royed) plus his canonical shameless flirting with General Armstrong, I think, regardless of what you ship, we can all agree that Roy's type is "blondes who could easily kill me."

[darkaviarymc]

Ya know, I think it's more than that. I think Mustang's type is actually "blondes who are ready and willing to look me in the eyes and tell me that I'm full of shit."

since becoming a barista i have noticed a few very distinct typologies among my customers. such as:

the woke left: young and fashionable. visible tattoos. often enjoys matcha, lavender flavoring, oat milk, and cold foam. pretty decent customers.

sweet old man: drinks very sweet iced lattes, pays in cash, puts all of his change in the tip jar. sometimes orders hot coffee and i get scared that his shaky old man hands will spill it and he'll get burned but that has not yet happened and god willing never shall.

evil old man: only wants drip coffee and declares it ridiculous that any other form of coffee exists. some variants only want americanos and these variants are even scarier. watch out.

sweet old woman: might need her daughter's help to order but is very bubbly and open to trying new things. compliments baristas freely and frequently.

evil old woman: does not want coffee and only wants sweet tea or soda. will not tip even if she spends three hours in the shop repeatedly asking baristas to fetch things for her.

errand husband: either stiltedly recites an order to you or shows you the order in their texts/notes app. needs to step out of line and make a phone call if you ask any follow-up questions.

grindset girlie: always wearing scrubs, an apron, and/or a name tag. orders the exact same thing every day and knows the exact change she'll need to pay for it. her regular order is both extremely caffeinated and extremely sweet.

#mamabear: is actively wrangling two to four children while ordering. order changes repeatedly because the children cannot decide if they want a muffin or a cookie or apple juice or chocolate milk etc. for some reason these women are always wearing an article of clothing or carrying some personalized item that says "mama" on it.

schoolchildren: band of two to eight adolescents hanging out after school. extremely indecisive but generally quite polite and tip well.

amnesiac in love: grown adult who needs their partner to tell them what they like. gets asked a question about their own preferences and turns to their partner to answer for them. generally acts like a shy child looking to their guardian for behavioral cues if you try to interact with them and only wants to talk to mommy i mean their wife.

this of course is not an exhaustive list but those are just some of the most consistent Types i get. ok bye xoxo

reblogging this for a list of customers i've worked with in IT

bare bones email: will send my helpdesk an email that will only say "my computer is broken" and no other context. not even a location

my favorite customers: submits a ticket that tells me what is broken about their computer along with a location, and at least one way of contacting them

need it now: usually an older man who is higher up in the org. will tell me that he needs his computer fixed right now during my lunch break. will call my boss if i don't fix it

knows too much about computers: submits a detailed ticket, then when i arrive tell me what they diagnosed about their own issue. but because this place runs on 10+ year old equipment is wrong.

very very angry: will get extremely angry if when they tell me their computer isn't turning and i as "is it plugged in" they will say it is (it is not)

accommodating do-gooder: offers me a water and a small snack then thanks me on my way out

neat nice lady: has bought her own keyboard, mouse, mat and utterly decked out her entire desk area. probably smells really nice.

i haven't actually worked at the helpdesk part of my job in over a year but these are the regulars.

Squatters' rights apply to grandmas. If someone's not visiting and looking after their grandma, but you will, after a set amount of time once you've settled in, that's your grandma now.

[shoutingtothevoidtilldeath]

Someone tried to do that with my grandma once. The guy tried to become her kid so they could inherit the house and money.

My grandma people pleases in a way where she lies all the time, so it was really hard to figure out whether or not she wanted to be in that situation, but after she was started to disown my mom (who would travel a couple hours every week to see her) we started fighting the guy. We’re now in a legal battle because he’s been using some sort of squatter’s/tenet’s rights to keep her house, and has had access to the grandma credit card(cuz she just let him borrow it). And my people pleasing grandma is now staying with us, and says she seething hates the guy.

"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane

[maxknightley]

one has you making posts like "okay but if the author UNDERSTOOD the POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS of the story they were telling, and leaned into it, it would actually be a really interesting exploration of..."

the other has you pacing your bedroom at one in the morning going "why. why would you ever in a million years do it like that. genuinely what possible thought process was involved. was the writer possessed by a fucking ghost or something."
