Description

Two Hot Takes host, Morgan, is joined by guest co-host Lauren! Have you ever had a moment where someone is going out of their way to be strategically mean? Well that's what this week's stories entail.. people being purposely mean, cruel, despicable, or just weird. From an ex that sent the MIL to steal flowers out of OPs garden, to a guy who shushed his girlfriend after a car accident he may have caused (?!), to a husband that had the kids make a list of things they don't like about mom, and more! These are some thought provoking stories that will need your thoughts too!  Help Lauren: https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoHotTakes/comments/1urexp2/lauren_here_looking_for_dental_advice/?share_id=5kvXX7mozSV8LoUxzreWB&utm_content=2&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1 Patreon BONUS Content including FREE stories: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/TwoHotTakes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEW MERCH:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shop.twohottakes.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ WRITE IN TO US!!

I’ve always disliked cliffhangers and prefer stories with updates/ conclusions over the newest ones possible

1:08:32 Lauren's silence made me think my headphones disconnected. That's how stunned she was at this story

First story: I work in an Ortho office and we have gotten a few parents like this. It's so terrible.

My mom was like the mom from story 1. I genuinely hate going shopping for clothes because she would sit in the dressing room with me just saying the most vile things. Worse than just fat shamming. Another woman in the dressing room waited for me to be alone and pulled me aside. She told me to ignore what she was saying because she was jealous of me. She gave me a wonderful quick talk. I was sobbing and what she said really moved me. I still think about it 15 years later.

He's not the asshole for shushing someone. He's the asshole for causing two accidents! You wave people in to merge ahead of you if traffic is tight and no one else is letting them in, not at a freaking intersection!

My husband once made a joke that didn’t make me feel good. He didn’t know but once I told him, He sincerely apologized and never made the joke again.. it wasn’t something most people would be sensitive about and he never made me feel stupid. Any good partner would do THAT.

Crazy how much better traffic would be if people just had some patience and actually followed the laws and rules of the road 🙄
