A six year old once asked me what adulthood is like.

“You can eat ice cream for dinner every night if you want,” I told him.

His face lit up.

“But you have to buy it yourself.”

I’ve never seen someone go from delighted to devastated as quickly as that little boy.

This is the most accurate description of adulthood I’ve ever heard.

Me: *shows basic human decency to cashier

Cashier: ??!?! Thank you! You’re the nicest person ever!

Me: are you ok

Reblog if politeness to retail and service workers is important to you.

I’ve cried at people before for being nice to me at the reg. It means a lot.

When people are genuinely nice to me at work, I am completely confused and befuddled. I stare stupidly at them because it’s just so rare. Customers are 10x more likely to insult, belittle, condescend to, or yell at you than they are to be truly pleasant and courteous. At least in my experience.

Rudeness is in abundance. Decorum is scarce.

Don’t date men who dont do housework/chores until they’re asked.

By that I mean: it is not your responsibility alone to keep track of and manage the household labour and chores.

Do not date someone who expects you to tally and distribute tasks like they’re a child getting chores from their parents.

You should never feel like the parent nagging for chores to be done before playtime in an adult partnership.

There’s a really great comic about this too.

Read the comic.
