1. “hey, I just met you and I’m ready to die for you”

Examples: “A Heart Full of Love” (Les Misérables), “Helpless” (Hamilton), “Ten Minutes Ago” (Cinderella)

2. “…we’re not actually talking about (thing mentioned in title)”

Examples: “Baptize Me” (The Book of Mormon), “Light My Candle” (Rent), “Small Umbrella in the Rain” (Little Women)

3. “if we talk in hypotheticals, we don’t have to face the magnitude of our true feelings”

Examples: “If I Loved You” (Carousel), “This is Life” (Bandstand), “What Would I Do” (Falsettos)

4. “the world is so messed up, but we have each other”

Examples: “Hey #3/Perfect For You” (Next to Normal), “I Should Tell You” (Rent), “The Last Night of the World” (Miss Saigon), “Only Us” (Dear Evan Hansen),

overlaps significantly with:

5. “it’ll all be over tomorrow, but at least we have today”

Examples: “As Long as You’re Mine” (Wicked), “The Last Night of the World” (Miss Saigon), “Something to Believe in” (Newsies)

BONUS: “this song is totally coming back, but next time, only one person will be singing it” 

if you are in an SUV style vehicle or newer model car you may be able to find the automatic trunk release wire, pull on it, it will pop the trunk

AND THEN THERE’S THIS ONE

I saw a post about “Please stop hitting on women while they’re at work” and I 100% agree with it, which is why I’m making a separate post to say please don’t hit on people in general when they’re at work.

I work at a bakery and we have this sweet 16 about to turn 17 year old boy who works up front of our store. He used to work at the place next door to us and, while he was there, a girl he was working with developed a bit of a crush on him and asked him out.

He said no, that he has a girlfriend (which she already knew) and thought they could just continue on being friends and coworkers.

Since beginning work at our bakery she stops in every single day and talks to him for the entirety of her 30 minute long break. He has told her multiple times that he’s at work and can’t stand around and talk and when I asked him if he was uncomfortable his response was a very relieved “Oh, God, yes.” 

He’s tried to talk to one of the owners about it and his response was “You can talk to her after work” not realizing this poor boy is being made incredibly uncomfortable on a daily basis in the work place. 

When we told him he could come into the back to find something to do if he needed to he was so incredibly thankful and relieved. This girl spent twenty minutes standing up front waiting for him to come back after he said he had to go do something. Twenty minutes in the front of the store ever after being told he can’t talk to her. He doesn’t know what would happen if he says that he doesn’t want to talk to her and is genuinely nervous every time she walks in.

The only reprieve he gets is from the bakers in the back saying “I get it. Come back here” because the Owners don’t understand that he, a male coworker, can be made uncomfortable by these unwanted advancements being made toward him. 

Please.

This post isn’t made to undersell not hitting on women while they’re at work. I get that and that’s why this separate post exists.

Please.

Don’t hit on people when they’re at work.
