So me and my gf were hanging out in this store that had a bit of everything when she decides to look for some covers for her phone, I stayed in an corridor near there looking at the tech stuff when suddenly a lady comes to me. (I was wearing jeans and a red polo I guess she exanged me for an employee even if they had a blue uniform) Lady: Hey you, can you tell me where I can get [item]? Me: (I look around for a second before looking back at her) I don't know, I don't w- She interrupts me before I could say the magic word "I don't work here" and says Lady: You brown people are all the same don't know how to treat customers, disgusting! Me: the face I made as she leaves mfw I'm about to go to my gf and tell her the story about this crazy lady, but before I could reach her this lady comes back and I kid you not she starts spraying those house deodorants in my face blinding me. Lady: serves you right for being lazy and [racial slur] Me: wtf, HELP! My gf heared me yelling and came and before I could say anything I could hear the lady realize that I didn't infact worked there as my gf calls the police and I guess staff didn't let her leave because when I could see again after washing my eyes she was crying getting arrested, police asked If I'd like to press charges I said yes. Even if I was an employee there thats no way to treat people, treat others as you wish to be treated. The end.

My husband is a peaceful giant. He is 6 ft 5 and can look quite imposing even though he really is a teddy bear. Never stressed or aggressive, never overreacting our raising his voice, just a peaceful giant. So here we are, at the grocery shop, with our 6 mo baby shopping for food and whatnot. It is winter in Canada (so, you know, cold) and we are both wearing our coats. The kid is fussy and nothing really calms him except when we carry him in our arms. It is my turn and my husband is going back and forth gathering what we need and bringing the items to our cart when the banshee-from-hell (BFH from now on) got in his face (figure of speech, she was like 5 ft 2) and started yelling at him. BFH: ARE YOU DONE? You've been helping her FOREVER and I NEED HELP! NOW! Husband: (with his smooth everything-is-good kind of tone) I'm so sorry (we're Canadians), but I'm afraid I do not work here... BFH: BULLS**T! I just saw you help HER shopping. NOW, you help ME! AND YOU DO NOT TALK BACK TO ME! Husband: But... BFH: STOP! Don't talk to me unless it is to thank me. Are we clear? My husband sees me boiling and about to interfere but makes a sign that's says he is going to deal with it. He then calmly look at her with a smile. BFH: (smuggling) GOOD! Now, help me grad the last (item I don't remember, probably some king of condiment) on this high shelve. WHY IN HELL you people always put the stuff I need so high is BEYOND me. Now, chop-chop! My husband grabs the item, but instead of giving it to her, he keeps it just a tiny bit out of her reach. He looks at it and then at me. Husband: (grining) Honey, do we need (condiment)? Me: (catching on) Well, as a matter of fact, yes! We do! Lady: WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU GIVE HER MY STUFF! IT'S MY STUFF! GIVE IT TO ME!!! Super slowly, my husband gets closer to the lady. He is so imposing that she calms down immediately. With the biggest of smile and the most polite voice ever, he says to her: Husband: Again, I do not work here... but thank you for showing me (condiment). We were about to forget it. And with that, he puts the item in our cart, grabs the baby and together, we left. In the background, the lady howling some profanities. All three of us smiling. I love my husband.

Background: I'm a small chinese woman living in a predominately white neighbourhood. Our house have a large front yard, and we like to do the gardening ourselves. I don't speak with an accent, and I usually use a very English name for easy communication. I called for an free estimate from a local duct-cleaning service, and scheduled it on a Saturday. My mom and I were in the front yard planting flowers and deweeding, chatting family stuff in our own language while enjoying the nice weather outside. We were in full gardening gear complete with straw hats and rain boots with face masks on. A white truck with a trailer drove up and a mid-aged man jumped out. Guy - (waving me down) Hey! Where is the owner of the house? Me - (pulling down my mask) Oh, you must be the duct-cleaning service, please come in with me. Guy - (annoyed) No, I need to speak with the landlord. Me - (chuckles) I am the landlord. Do you need to come in the house for the esti- Guy - (cuts me off) No, I need to speak to the person who made the call! Me - (pulling out my phone) Ok, hold on. (dialing the company number) Guy - (pulling out his phone) See? The landlord is calling me. Me - Hi, I'm english name. I'm standing right in front of you. I don't think I will be needing your services today. Goodbye. The guy stood there dumbstruck for a moment, then sulkily walk back to his truck and left. My mom looked at me confused and ask in Chinese "what was that?". I shrugged and answered "looks like we need to call another duct-cleaning company".

I was grooming my horse Clyde yesterday when a woman came up to me, tugging along a kid around 6 or 7 years old. The woman was wearing way too expensive-looking clothes to be at a barn. Before I could even get a word out, she launched into a tirade about how terrible the service was and how she had spent HOURS trying to find someone to help her. 'Oh, I don’t...,' I began, only to get cut off by her screaming in my face to let her kid ride MY horse." "I tried to calmly explain that no, her kid couldn’t ride my horse, and no, I could not let her ride any other horses in the barn. It didn't matter what I said, I couldn’t convince her that I didn’t work there and that I couldn’t 'just let [her] daughter ride.' Clyde is not fully trained because I recently got him. He's still very young and inexperienced. I wouldn’t even let a kid groom him, as he tends to nip at people. The kid proceeded to try to duck past me and pet his nose. I grabbed the kid's shoulder and gently pushed her back, genuinely worried about Clyde biting her. The woman gasped and screamed, 'My daughter has every right to touch that horse; she’s probably even better with horses than you are! Besides, you’re just a worker, so don’t you DARE push my kid.' That made me blow a gasket. 'Your daughter is NOT going to touch my horse; he is NOT suitable with kids and could injure your daughter. Your daughter does NOT know more than me, I’ve been riding for 15 years, and I DON'T WORK HERE!!! Leave me alone!' I shouted. At this point, my horse was starting to freak out, and I turned to lead him back to his stall and just calm him and myself. Some barn staff came running over, trying to assess what was happening. The woman kept screaming at me, but I just couldn’t deal with her anymore and walked away, since the staff had her occupied. My friend (who worked there) told me that they had to threaten to call the cops to get her to leave, because she kept demanding to have her child ride every single horse she saw. She is also banned from the stable now, so happy ending, at least?

Hey Pandas, If You Could Save One Animal From Extinction What Would It Be?
I know this is one that everyone or least most the people I know but spiders. Although we may be afraid of them(I’m not) they are actually very important because they kill mosquitoes which helps reduce the spread of diseases mosquitoes carry.Hey Pandas, If You Could Save One Animal From Extinction What Would It Be?
Wolves. They have have such a huge trickle down impact on the environment and other animals.Hey Pandas, If You Could Save One Animal From Extinction What Would It Be?
Everything, no animal is an extra. Even flies are necessary. I have a thing for Snow Leopards and Amur Leopards, but nothing is any more important than anything else.Hey Pandas, If You Could Save One Animal From Extinction What Would It Be?
