 started using bhe

 men freaked out.
 In 1909, telephones started appearing in homes, and
 women started using them socially. This panicked their
 husbands so much that they started making fun of
 women for it and calling them out on their "futility and
 frivolity" in newspapers, journals, and books.
 The average length of those calls was 7½ minutes.

 You are gorgeous
 Who is this?
 Your favorite oil change guy
 The guy from Jiffy Lube?
 Yes ma'am
 I couldn't help but to let you know
 So I feel like this is a teachable
 moment for you. While I know you
 were wanting to give me a
 compliment, it was completely
 unnecessary and unsolicited. I am a

 customer, you are a service
 provider, and there should be no
 communication between us outside
 of that unless I, the customer
 express interest. I am married, we
 discussed this when I was talking
 about my car maintenance, so it can
 be assumed that I am not interested
 in any compliments/advances from
 you
 When you contacted me, I felt a
 little panicked because you went
 back in my file and got my number...
 I have other personal information,
 like my address, saved there as
 well. It is a violation of my privacy
 for you to contact me from your
 personal phone with information
 that you got without my permission.

 And now I know that you are the
 type of person to go back in
 someone's file to find their personal
 information, what is to keep you
 from going back and getting my
 address? There are men who stalk
 rape, and murder women by getting
 their information this way. For this
 reason, I assume there is a Jiffy
 Lube company policy that you are
 to never contact a patron on your
 personal cell phone for personal
 reasons
 So now I am in this predicament. I
 can choose to ignore your violation
 of my privacy and go to another
 company to avoid awkward
 interactions in the future (even
 though this is the place that I've

 been going to consistently for the
 past several years). Or I can contact
 your company HR and report this
 incident. Generally I am not in the
 business of ruining someone's
 livelihood over something as simple
 as this, but it is very important to
 me that you understand why it was
 completely inappropriate for you to
 contact me, or any other woman,
 without explicit consent. Capiche?
 Sorry about that yes ma'am
 Oh, and you didn't tell me what the
 tire pressure was on the rear
 passenger tire like l asked, so you
 are definitely not even in my top five
 favorite oil change guys.

 back in my file and got my number...
 I have other personal information,
 like my address, saved there as
 well. It is a violation of my privacy
 for you to contact me from your
 personal phone with information
 that you got without my permission.

 And now I know that you are the
 type of person to go back in
 someone's file to find their personal
 information, what is to keep you
 from going back and getting my
 address? There are men who stalk
 rape, and murder women by getting
 their information this way. For this
 reason, I assume there is a Jiffy
 Lube company policy that you are
 to never contact a patron on your
 personal cell phone for personal
 reasons
 So now I am in this predicament. I
 can choose to ignore your violation
 of my privacy and go to another
 company to avoid awkward
 interactions in the future (even
 though this is the place that I've

 been going to consistently for the
 past several years). Or I can contact
 your company HR and report this
 incident. Generally I am not in the
 business of ruining someone's
 livelihood over something as simple
 as this, but it is very important to
 me that you understand why it was
 completely inappropriate for you to
 contact me, or any other woman,
 without explicit consent. Capiche?
 Sorry about that yes ma'am
 Oh, and you didn't tell me what the
 tire pressure was on the rear
 passenger tire like l asked, so you
 are definitely not even in my top five
 favorite oil change guys.

 My sister got creeped on and sexually harassed by a
 jiffy lube guy via text from his personal phone
 and....

 Today 3:16 PM
 You are gorgeous
 Who is this?
 Your favorite oil change guy
 The guy from Jiffy Lube?
 Yes ma'am
 I couldn't help but to let you know
 So I feel like this is a teachable
 moment for you. While I know you
 were wanting to give me a
 compliment, it was completely
 unnecessary and unsolicited. I am a

 customer, you are a service
 provider, and there should be no
 communication between us outside
 of that unless I, the customer
 express interest. I am married, we
 discussed this when I was talking
 about my car maintenance, so it can
 be assumed that I am not interested
 in any compliments/advances from
 you
 When you contacted me, I felt a
 little panicked because you went
 back in my file and got my number...

    Apparently, Church, and Fail: captainlovelxce
 hey have i ever told y all about my cursed apartment building
 cursed how, you say???? well, here's the thing: no-one can fuckin see it. let me
 explain further
 .i live in a tiny flat in a big red brick building with huge windows. it has a
 driveway with two columns on either side not a thing you usually see in
 this area. it is opposite a bus stop and several corner shops. it is on a
 main, busy road. most significantly, it is attached to a church. a well-
 known church with a big pink sign on the front.
 all things that would make it easy to spot, right???? like if i gave that list of
 distinguishing features to someone along with my address then they'd be
 able to find my filat easily, right??? well APPARENTLY NOT
 we have never once had a delivery to our flat (outside of the usual postal
 service) where we haven't been called by a lost courier
 usually, they are about thirty seconds away. "i'm by the church and i don't
 know where to go from here," they say. so we tell them, "it's the building
 right next to the church!! the one you're outside. that church. it's the next
 building along. it's opposite a bus stop and it has a driveway with two big
 columns."
 without fail, they call back 5-10 minutes later, still lost.
 i have answered calls from both lost delivery people and friends where
 i've been able to see them standing in front of the driveway, from my
 window
 a friend of mine once drove past my building three times, while on the
 phone to me, getting increasingly panicked that she couldn't figure out
 where she was going. she parked in a nearby road and i had to walk to
 her car and guide her to the driveway
 however, my flatmate and i found this place when we were flat-hunting
 first time, no trouble, and we don't know what that means other than i
 guess this place chose us and the rent is so cheap because the estate
 agents were so relieved to find the first people in a thousand years who
 could actually see this fuckin building
 .
 today a food delivery person called me to say he was outside the church
 was told to go to the next building along, (a 20 second journey on foot)
 and arrived at my door 20 minutes later, saying, "sorry, i went to the back
 of this building by mistake. weird right???"
 this building doesn't have a back
 it backs onto the rest of the church it doesn't have a back where did he go
 .

 There's probably a wizard's pub somewhere around there and the spell keeps
 overlapping with the nearby buildings
 captainlovelxce
 i haven't really been interacting with the notes on this post bc it blew up
 unexpectedly and ive been rly busy, but reblogging again to say - holy fuck,
 there is actually a pub just down the road that's all boarded up and derelict but i
 HAVE seen people go in and out of it and sometimes you can see a light on in
 the upstairs window
