every time my bf says "for the time being" i respond with "for the time bean" and then we say "all hail the time bean" and carry on the conversation like nothing happened

I also like it when they're like hey what's up or something personal/natural instead of the welcome to wherever how can I serve you bit.

I also like it when they are sitting down or listening to music they clearly enjoy

[fieldbears]

There is something so nourishing about walking into a place of business and immediately thinking "huh, I wouldn't have guessed this place would be playing this kind of music" only to see an employee absolutely head-banging along because today is their day to pick the CD and they are living

Despite what capitalists might think, I do not want to roleplay being royalty in the presence of slaves when I seek professional assistance in obtaining my basic human needs.

as a human being who enjoys having a good time, I enjoy seeing other human beings having a good time, and will actively choose options where I can enable good times to happen

the music at my retail job is just our own personal playlists connected to a shitty Bluetooth speaker. the only rule is that it must be SFW

customers LOVE IT

I’ve introduced so many people to Charming Disaster through my work playlist. my manager’s 80s-00s throwback music is always a huge hit, not the least because we’re frequently bopping and/or singing along to it. and we’ve gotten great feedback on being a Bublé-free space during Christmastime

honestly, just as stated above, people love coming in and seeing us chatting, laughing, having a good time, wearing our own clothes rather than a uniform, etc. the number of times I’ve heard “you guys always seem to be in a good mood here, and that’s great” is innumerable

protip to managers in general: the good mood comes from having freedom to behave like normal humans at work

shoutout to people who make tutorials for things that are “obvious” or that people “should already know” thank you for your service

"I could make that abstract art, anyone could" then make it. Unironically. Go buy some paints. Do a mild googling. Do it, make the same art. See what it feels like. Find out what it inspires in you. Back in high school one kid was pretty disparaging of Jackson Pollock's art until we MADE Jackson Pollocks and it became his THING for the rest of the year. You could go into the art room on break to find him picking out colors and preparing space to make em. Try on the abstract art and let yourself forge a genuine connection to it, coward.

Adult friendships be like “I miss you bro, let's hang out in November"

This isn’t right

[what-a-bastard]

Accepting identities I don't understand is actually extremely easy because I just go "this isn't about me" and move on with my life unbothered by someone else's identity, it's truly that simple.

[carnivoroustomatoes]

I love insults like landlubber and cityslicker, look at this idiot not used to areas and situations

something about crowds singing in unison at concerts that leaves my entire existence awestruck. so ethereal. its the the most human thing ever.

[darkcomedies-deactivated2022042]
