I know it's stressful this time of year. You have to work, you have to adult, and now you have to buy gifts for all the people on your list. The lines that you wait in to get Into the stores or even to check out is annoying. It's like that for everyone.

But don't take it out on your spouse. Specifically, your husband. It's not his fault you didn't remember to use your birthday reward in your actual birthday. And today is the day you want to use it, but you've already paid for your order and you just NOW thought about using it? It's not his fault. And it's not his fault that our store ran out of your favorite sandwich. He doesn't control our inventory.

So don't overreact and throw a hissy fit because of things that are out of yours, his, and my control..it doesn't look good on you. You don't look cute when you're telling your husband to shut up, to stop talking, to mind his business when he's just trying to reason with you and make you realize that the situation isn't as serious as you're perceiving it to be. Society doesn't have sympathy for men abusing women, and quite frankly I don't have sympathy for women abusing men either. You need to chill out, and you need to treat people better.

Stop it.. get some help.

Merry Xmas, from your concerned and friendly neighborhood barista.
