Donkey vs. Meanie Cupcake CEO

lindsayll · October 2009

Dooce takes on Maytag and gets a $1300 washer for charity. Donkey takes on Dimples Cupcakes and gets... nothing. Hilarity ensues.If you can tolerate her horrible writing:http://babyrabies.com/2009/09/30/dimples-cupcakes-not-so-sweet/My favortie part is her knockout punch at the end:"Associated with nobody except myself and this blog, which is read by hundreds, if not thousands of DFW area residents"So there, you big meanie cupcake CEO.

That is a lot of drama over goody bags from a cupcake shop. Apparently cupcake CEOs troll the bump for negative posts. Weird.

I want the last 5 minutes of my life back.

That was a cluster of stupidity on both sides.

SarahBethBR · October 2009

My favorite part is that one of the tags is "bullied."

oh for fukc's sake. waste of her time? she CLEARLY has too much time on her hands. clearly. also. she waited one hour for a call back from an email request and then decided it was too long to wait and sent another email? again, FFS. has this woman ever worked in an actual company? maybe he was in a meeting. maybe he was on the phone. MAYBE HE WAS WORKING. you know, on something a little more important than some overzealous chick on the internets with waaaaaaay to much freaking time on her hands.I'm not even all the way through this mess yet but Donkey is just . . . so . . . CRAZY. BSC. Look it up in the dictonary. there will be a (professionally shot) photo of Donkey right there.

there will be a (professionally shot) photo of Donkey right there.Ha!I agree with the bsc analysis. Also, why keep referencing the nap schedule of your kid? Alsoalso, trying to get freebies and at the same time trying to drum up freelance work is just weird. Finally, FFS, it is cannot. Cannot. Oneword = cannot.

shanollee · October 2009

That was redonk.

SarahBethBR · October 2009

also. she waited one hour for a call back from an email request and then decided it was too long to wait and sent another email? Tasty, it was the only time she had all day to deal with this. HER SON WAS NAPPING. Geez, she's a busy MOM who doesn't have all the time in the world on her hands.

An hour and she is pissed off? Seriously, we have a 24 hour policy. If she had emailed a govt agency she would be waiting for at least a month.

ftnups · October 2009

She wasted her own damn time. If a chickenshitt cupcake store employee keeps putting you off instead of just saying NO, it's your problem if you don't take that as a pretty solid indicator that you are not getting any free cupcakes.

BermudaBride07 · October 2009

AFSB historians: Was there one big blow up where Donkey GCAFB'd or was it a gradual progression over to CrazyTown (aka, botb)?

lindsayll · October 2009

I'm pretty sure that despite her many protests, she was in fact pissed the guy told her no.She's got THOUSANDS of BSC mommy minions in DFW, SHE WILL NOT BE IGNORED!

ftnups · October 2009

I have to admit I laughed at her entry about what to do about misbehavin' 17 month olds. Matt is pretty obedient and it usually only takes about half a dozen "no's" for him to stop doing something I don't want him to do. But the repeated emptying of the dog water bowl might be my waterloo. Anything I try is 1) highly entertaining to him and 2) eventually causes me to collapse in giggles.

shanollee · October 2009

I never realized she was from DFW. I'll be on high alert from now on

noisy_penguin · October 2009

Shamwow, I'd like you to go to Dimples Cupcakes and eat some, and let them know that you are doing so just to spite Jill from Baby Rabies.

BobLoblaw · October 2009

YES, Shamwow. YES. Do it for the good of the board.I remember Tasty flaming her for asking how to clean a leather sofa. Because it made me laugh a LOT.

prettypinkypeonies · October 2009

Bermuda, I was curious to this as well. I think I vaguley remember something going down, but I can't, for the life of me, remember what happened. Insight, please?

shanollee · October 2009

Well, if it's for the good of the board, I suppose I can be forced to eat some cupcakes. I actually didn't even know this Dimples place existed until right now.

CaliopeSpidrman · October 2009

I don't remember any dramatic fallout or GBCK. I just remember she was anti-pregnancy until she thought she was pregnant. Then she lost her mind and became crazy competitive, buying every How To Get Knocked Up book out there. She had that "AF - 1; Donkey - 0" thing in her signature. And then, surprise surprise, she got pregnant on the second try. Imagine that -- a healthy 25 year old getting pregnant so fast! It's some sort of miracle! After that, I don't think she posted on AFSB much and kind of just faded away.

noisy_penguin · October 2009

I thought Donkey was in her 30s. Huh.

FallinAgain · October 2009

Me too.

wingedbride · October 2009

Shamwow. You and me. Dimples CUpcake GTG.

shanollee · October 2009

Yes, Wing-ed! We also have Sprinkles and The Cupcakery (and also a place that was apparently voted best cupcakes on Ellen). I think the only way to give Dimples a fair assessment is to compare it with the others. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it

wingedbride · October 2009

Word up.

salimoo · October 2009

Wait, so she never had any TTC issues?

lindsayll · October 2009

Nope. She's just BSC obsessed. Looking at the posts from her blog, her pregnancy "scare" was in April, that started the obsession. She started her redonk blog in July, and was KTFU by August. Compared to the average couple, that's pretty darn quick. But in her mind: AF may have won the first couple battles, but she won the war. And it was hard work to produce a kid she could name Kendall. She made a lot of sacrifices, dontcha know? Sacrifices like no mother has ever made before!
