Hey Pandas, What's Something You Want To Get Off Your Chest? (Closed)

I'm appalled with poor, rude phone mannerisms people have today. I am referring to businesses, especially.
Yes, I understand people text and email more often today. However, phone calls are still relevant and necessary today, and a bit of polite etiquette goes a long way to maintain a good rapport with clients and customers.
This is what I've witness and put up with, AT BUSINESSES:
Eating on the phone loudly and speaking with their mouth full.
Hangs up with no proper farewell, no replies to "thank you" or just a "mhmm".
Answers with "What do you want?"
Swearing.
Receptionists hanging up on people before knowing who is on the other line, or hanging up just because the caller has a wrong contact name without offering further assistance or information.
The list is long.
Even if the call is not wanted, or unexpected, they just don't know how they're rude attitude may be an impact on their business and the companies the business deals with.

The firsts few months with a newborn baby are hard.

I have a crush on a girl, and I'm also a girl. I´ve never felt this way for another female before

Everyone involved with the production and distribution of Baby Shark should be punched in the face really hard.

I don’t know if I can still believe in God. I grew up in a Cristian home but at this point of my life I don’t know if I can still believe

I'm disappointed in Biden. Most anyone would have been a better follow-up to that sh*t show from the last four years, but I had hope for him and for more. It feels like the episode of The Office where Michael makes them work late but promises them a surprise at the end of the day, and then.....nothing. It's that kind of disappointing.

So this happens this summer. It was a hot day out and I was hanging out with a friend for a sleepover and we decided to go to one of the local dollar trees. While we where walking there a man (over the age of 30 if I remember correctly) came up behind us and started cat calling us and asking us if we had weed or wanted any. My friend and I decided to ignore him and walk away he kept following us and at one point we split from him after a while he realized that and came back. That made us decide $/?& it let’s call the police. He got really close to us luckily we crossed the street fast but he touched my friend and continued to follow us. He moved away from us and we thought he left. We ducked into dollar tree to wait for the police. As we where talking to nice officer my friend and I noticed the man from before walking closer to us WHILE we are talking to the police. The police goes to talk to him, he gets arrested. This man is a homeless fugitive from Texas. This is terrifying to me since my friend and I aren’t even 15 yet.

Please don't laugh, but I recently had a nightmare about..... a sinister penguin. The best way to describe it. It bit my face off. Is that normal? (I'm not joking.)

Manners. Common or garden courtesy. Please and thank you. And stop using "excuse me" as a demand for attention. If you are needing someone's attention, try good morning/afternoon, or I wonder if you can help me? If you make a mistake or realise the item you were looking for is right under your nose, make it into a joke, laugh, whatever! If you see someone struggling with a high shelf, offer to help. If you are short like me, I am always grateful for the taller people in this world. Make someone's day - say thank you.

A big thank you to all the lunatics in the area I live in meaning that I had to get up at 5am to fill my car and to the other head cases that meant that a 5 min journey home from an appointment took an hour. STOP BLOCKING UP ROUNDABOUTS

I really just want to come out as pan, but I can’t even say it in the mirror without getting nervous. Maybe it’s just my social anxiety but I’m talking with my REFLECTION it shouldn’t be this hard IMO.

YouTube influencers and their followers.

wish unvaxxed covid patients would stay home to die. you made your choice. thank you. next.

I used to be very suicidal. Not safe on my own suicidal. I’m not anymore and everyone thinks I’m ok now. However some days I quietly sit and wish I could kill myself. Life is so hard and painful. I have daily flashbacks of things that happened in my childhood. I take my pills, see my therapist, have a job, a house, and loving partner and a beautiful child. I live only for that child, so they will not have the trauma of losing a parent.

My ti**ies (im agender)

There's this kid that I know and he can be so annoying sometimes. He's convinced I'm dating literally every person I talk to and he'll yank on my backpack sometimes as a joke. Sometimes his teasing can be funny, but it can also get a bit out of hand. I wish I knew why he keeps targeting me and wish he would take it back a bit.

That we are absolutely screwed and hey! Look! More things that I will have to deal with because everyone before me screwed up! We had our chance to get rid of Covid and we blew it! Now we’re stuck in this hell hole and I’ll have to fix it all! Oh also because I am female I don’t get taken seriously! Well I’m going to have an AMAZING LIFE!

reminder that the author requested this to be a safe place! hope everyone is having a good day, happy reading/scrolling! I put random questions in the comments if you want to stay for a bit

I'm a lesbian transwoman with autism, health issues, mood issues, and serious bad luck.

I'm sick of kids in my school being homophobic because it's "cool" to hate gays. The other day I was sitting outside the GSA room just chillin because I didn't feel like going in but i wanted to wait for my friends who were inside and a group of straight guys walked by and started very loudly talking about how gross it was to be gay and debating over whether it was fair that there was a group for gays but not one for just straights.
I got so mad but they looked like seniors or juniors (grades 12 and 11) and I am just a freshman (grade 9) so i didn't want to say anything and risk getting in trouble with them, I told the teacher who runs the GSA about it and she said she'd try to deal with it but she seems to be the only adult at the school who cares
And as i've gotten more open with my classmates about my sexuality/gender and stuff i have been finding more people who I thought were allies but aren't. I've never been bullied very bad before this but I'm afraid that's whats going to start happening if I continue to not do anything, but idk what to do.
