Please stop and read this.

I’m doing a project on gay rights in today’s society.

So if you believe that same sex couples should be allowed to get married, please reblog this.

This would be a lot of help, thank you.

There is nothing more blatantly evil than people who want to take away free school lunches. How do you even begin to justify that. Being against free school lunch programs is literally saying you don’t think actual children deserve to eat. Many kids in these programs rely on free lunches as they ONLY meal they get in a day. How the fuck do these people sleep at night. How can you live not giving a shit that children starve

hey uhh if anyones still confused theres nothing nsfw about being gay there are gay kids and if you think puppy love between straight kids is cute but puppy love between gay kids is gross then you are in fact homophobic

Send me all the cease and desist letters you want, bro. It genuinely just confirms that you’re scared and are desperately trying to use the might of your lawyers to pressure me into deleting the evidence against you. But you know what? I’ve got lawyers, too. And they told me you’re full of shit. See you in court. Thank you very much. Goodbye.

REBLOG TO SAVE THE KITTIES!

IMPORTANT FOR KITTY OWNERS

its wild to me that there are people out there who can actually complain about getting bad service. like, did you know if your package is late on amazon prime and you contact customer service they’ll give you a free month of Prime and a five dollar credit? ANY time that one of your packages is late? because I sure as fuck didn’t! I never thought to complain! an amazon employee could come in my house and beat me with a hammer and i’d just sit there and be like “its ok, it’s like this sometimes, i understand. the holidays can be stressful. i get it.”

did you know it’s possible to complain about service errors without being angry? you can even be friendly and nice about it!

“hey, so i think i got someone else’s chicken fingers, i ordered the quesadilla. oh, the cook misread the order and has to remake it? ok, i dig, i’ll wait. you’re offering me free breadsticks while i wait? sounds good, thanks!”

DO speak up, DO be specific about the problem, DON’T be blamey or sarcastic or snippy. DO realize it may take time to fix the problem, DON’T turn down extra goods/services they offer to make it up to you.

mistakes happen. businesses have a procedure for fixing mistakes. apology items are part of that procedure; if you turn them down, it doesn’t look like you’re not mad, it looks like you’re too mad to accept their apology but too confrontation-shy to say so. i promise that when you accept the free breadsticks your server heaves a secret sigh of relief.

As someone who has worked call center customer service for 10+ years, I will move heaven and earth for someone who politely states an error was made. Even if it was their own mistake! If you joke a little, ask about our day, and are generally kind and polite, shit will get DONE. We appreciate it soooo much when someone breaks the cycle of anger.

Also, for smaller companies at least, we will REMEMBER. Oh, hey, that super polite lady we accidently overcharged by $100 needs a fee waived 6 mo later? No worries! Hey, I got that awesome dude whose reservation got messed up and he needs me to take some extra time and help him plan something special? Done.

Yes, sometimes the squeaky wheel (read: screaming customer) gets more grease, but the nicer ones get better quality grease.

I honestly don’t understand why this isn’t the default anyways. Like, just be kind to people in general? In the vast majority of situations like this, chances are that no one actually intended to do you any harm. More likely than not, it was some sort of mistake, so recognize that we’re all human and give them the opportunity to try to make it right before getting angry.
