Kitchen Nightmares
For years, I saw Gordon Ramsay as a villain. On Hell’s Kitchen, a reality cooking show competition, he was and still is portrayed as a passionate, perfectionist chef with a fiery temper, directing expletive after expletive at some donkey (GR code for ignoramus). I remember watching the Hell’s Kitchen commercials and hearing all the bleeped out swearing thinking, “Oh, what a terrible man. Ugh! He’s so angry and foul.” He’d explode at these actual professional chefs he considered inadequate, often incompetent (who may not have been that bad, but he certainly reacted to them and their cooking that way). I just couldn’t see GR’s appeal, like who enjoys watching some volatile British man slandering and demeaning people who are earnestly trying their best.

Rest stop angels
At a rest stop off of I-95, I learned men don’t seem comfortable with a woman in the men’s restroom. I don’t know what I expected when I entered while helping my dad inside, but I figured we’d mostly be ignored. After all, there was nothing really to see. Just a short half-Filipina woman helping her tall, ailing, confused, Caucasian father inside.
