Ironically in story 1, When the boss actually gave out OP's medical information and full name due to him saying of not wanting to get sued, I think there's a possibility he could have been sued for that.

1:21 I'm pretty sure he is not allowed to release your medical information without your permission. Sue him for it.

I heard somewhere that the greener pastures you see are green for a reason: manure. So, if you leave for greener pastures sooner or later you’re going to step in manure.

Something my mom taught me about sexual attraction is that sparks/chemistry is good, but what about when the sparks die/the chemical reaction fizzles out? Relationships, especially sexual relationships need to be built on more than sexual attraction. You have to want the same or similar things, have respect for each other and genuinely love each other and not just sexual attraction.

First big red flag i clocked was "we're not in a hurry to get married, but we're thinking of trying for a baby." Yeah, commitment to the relationship wasn't there

[GremlinAbsolute]

Imagine getting a department-wide email that basically says, "we can't have this thing anymore because of Dave. Dave has an issue with this thing, so we can't have it. Thanks, Dave."

Imagine the lawsuit that could come out of that

Story 2: Dude's "spark" is the excitement of cheating. He's in a good relationship, "Ooh a spark! I'm going to that one instead." Then he realizes that he's in a relationship again, "Ooh I need another spark, this is boring." He's pathetic.

Story 1: I was so pissed at OP's boss, the co-workers do have the right to be upset about not being able to eat a known food allergen, but they do not have the right to know who is allergic, and that manager CAN be sued for giving about OP's full name and medical information

[A_Rose_From_Concrete]

Last story: The greener pastures part made me think of a line from a song heard. "The grass ain't always greener on the other side, it's green where you water it." Good on OP for showing her ex she was doing better without him

[nguyenphamkhoi]

Story 2: You won, girl. You won the ultimate reward of "My ex want me back, but I'm better now" and you aren't even bragging about it. *Chef kiss*

[WriterGirl]

Story 2: I’m guessing he was cheating with the new girl and she was the ‘friend’ he went to stay with.
I’m also guessing that it started during the ‘extra stress’ period.

[IronMaiden]

After that guy sent walls of drunk texts to his ex fiancée, she should have written back TL;DR and blocked him. The nerve of that guy.

1:35 I'm sorry but if you think allergies are fake you shouldn't be left unattended in public nor private for the safety of yourself and especially others.

Edit: Not to cause a schism in the comments, but honestly RSlash, I think the title stories should go to the longest. Just a thought.

Edit 2: So I replied to codyjohnson here and for some reason the reply got deleted. It wasn't even close to offensive. YouTube really needs to fix this BS

[ShyGetsHi]

Did it make anyone else tear up when rSlash said, "You should never end your life, because when you're at rock bottom, the only place you can go is up"? I feel like he might have actually saved some lives with that reminder.

[MyOnlyChildIsACat]

People who think allergies are fake are scary people. I almost imagine them having a child who's diagnosed with a food allergy by a doctor and telling their child it's fake and the doctor who diagnosed them is a liar. Then, trying to feed their child their allergen and calling them hypochondriacs when they have an allergic reaction. Or something like that. People who think food allergies are fake are just... Wow. And that boss is scummy asf for including OP's name in the email. The least he could have done was not include her name in it

[AxelGunshin]

2nd Story: She was cheated on and won’t even consider that was what happened. No way that he didn’t pull that stunt without a side piece already set up

[Josh_the_jester]

4:24 dabney I've only been employed for 12 years and even with a short amount of time I have learned that HR ain't your friend, they only care about the good of the company not the people who works in it. Your only friends in a company are the representatives of your union

[murtaghmorzansson]

The boss shouldn't have sent that email, but the coworkers' reactions are just weird to me. If I got an email like that, I would just assume it was a very severe allergy and accept it. A former workplace actually did tell us (without naming the person) that we couldn't have any cinnamon fragrances in the office because there was someone with an extremely severe allergy. No one ever complained about it because we weren't psychopaths and didn't want to risk someone's life over a scent.

[ginabell]

I've been on the op side of having my allergies made aware to the entire group. When I was in jr high these girls stole rubber gloves from the nurses office. I am anaphylactic to latex. Why they were even in the nurses office idk. But when they were caught playing with them were sat down in the classroom so the nurse could explain how bad my allergy is to the entire class. It was mortifying.
Also ppl who don't believe in allergies are a danger to society imo. And I think we can agree on that based on some of the stories told here. I saw a TT a while back where this woman was chronicaling her bosses pressuring her to come to the company potluck even though they had products with allergies which shes allergic to. My 6yr old(at the time)nephew is more compassionate as ppl like that. He found out one of his teachers is allergic to peanuts. So on days when she had lunch duty he wouldn't pack a PB&j. A 6yr old(now 9) is more compassionate than most adults!!!

[smorphous]

Story 2: I think the dude's spark is him cheating on Op during the relationship and then realizing that his cheating would be bad if everyone found out, so he broke up with Op just so he can date another woman without getting backlash.

Talk about a well-timed ad. @7:20 " All i could think to myself was" (Ad) " Don't start with Hellfire"
