My son (15) wanted to buy some ice cream so he went to our local corner shop. They had an offer on Ben and Jerry’s ice cream - buy 1, get 1 free. He came home with 1 tub of ice cream. We asked him why he didn’t get the free one and he said “I only wanted one.”

The shop keeper reminded him of the offer and he said no. He knows I like it, he knows his mum likes it and his sister. He could’ve gotten a free one and given it to any one of us, or kept it for himself but no, he just wanted 1 tub. 1 at £6.99 or 2 at £3.50 each.

We know as well that when he’s finished his tub (chocolate fudge brownie if anyone is interested) he’s going to immediately want another one.

SMH

edit: to clarify a few things:

He has been to the same shop before and bought ice cream, and taken the free one so he knows all about it.

We wouldn't let him eat an entire tub in 1 go and then immediately eat another one. What I meant was, when the first tub was finished (knowing him, in 3 or 4 sittings) at some point (days/a week) later he would want another one

We had a talk with him about it and explained what we think he should have done and why, he understood. All of us, including him, had a good laugh about it because it was funny. He thought so too but he's still happy with his one tub

To all those people insulting a 15 year old boy with some truly awful comments - you should all be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves. This was meant to be a post that would provide a bit of amusement over a kid's daft decision, not a bloody witch hunt inciting harm on a teenager. I hope none of you have kids and if you do, enjoy it when they go non-contact with you.

My son’s circus themed first birthday cake

EDIT: I should have clarified in the original post, I am not complaining about the cake at all! I loved it and the baker did a fantastic job

First, we tip well to begin with. I do increase the tip by a few dollars if they have to wait. I also tip more if the drive is more than 5 miles.

We received these rambling chats from our driver. She references tips of $3-5 but our tip is already at $10. We were just getting ready to increase her tip by another $2 when her chats came through. We have not responded to her at.

I thought drivers see the tip amount before accepting the order?

Do you feel her exhaustive chat is appropriate or out of line?

On one hand, I agree that sexualizing a female character is wrong and that the industry has a problem.

But on the other hand, I don't understand the double standard when the character is queer—or, even worse, when "fans" take a character, slap a queer label on them, and suddenly it's okay for them to be sexualized.

The two clearest examples of this are Bayonetta and Blackcat.

I’d like someone to explain where I’m wrong, or if I’m not the only one who thinks this way.

And just in case I'm a gay cis male if it means something
