I wouldn’t consider the second story an eff up, she was pushing boundaries and needed that wake up call. Her being hostile isn’t your fault, it’s because she can’t take a no.
The person who microwaved socks should be fired. That's disgusting.
Story 2: Speak to HR about this.
Second Story: OP should’ve reported her to HR for workplace harrassment and for creating a toxic work enviornment. OP constantly tried to politely give her the hint that he isn’t interested but she ignored him constantly. Now that he was more blunt in rejecting her advances, she is being aggressive and mean
elevator story: it's very important to be silly sometimes. if you don't make any room for whimsy in your life, you're gonna be miserable. you gotta get a lil goofy!
I really want to know how the Chuck E. Cheese employee broke the news to OP. "Yes sir, I'm just confirming the reservation for you and Mrs. McGee."
EMT here. Nobody in that gym knows a thing about CPR. You don't do CPR on someone having a heart attack, and you check for responsiveness first. Then you check for a pulse and breathing. Also, you don't lift someone's legs up during CPR. That story was hilarious all around
The socks thing.. not only did he microwave socks, he did it at his jobs microwave. Not only did he microwave socks, but filthy ones.

As someone with food allergies, if you take benadryl and the reaction stops, it is an allergy.
