They're looking for better offers. I know someone like this. She said, "I don't know how I'm going to feel on Saturday night. It's Tuesday! I won't know til I know! I might want to go. I might not. I don't know!"

Manners never died. They're just constantly changing. Just as people bitch about cell phones, they also bitched about telephones, Atari, TV, cars, divorce, equal rights, and any other drastic, unknown change. Fire and brimstone never came though. We adjusted.

The guy apologized TO HIM! Remember??!?!??!!?

Yeah but some people get so WEIRD about it. A friend of mine (10+ years) disappeared on me when I suffered a tragedy last year. Granted she moved, but she kept coming to town. She never once saw me or contacted me to see how I was doing. She then had the audacity to email me, wanting something back (which was…

What if you get extra points for ruining man/woman marriage?

" Interracial love is attention-grabbing. And attention = dollars, from both black and white audiences."

Can the same logic be applied to the children of employees in the finance industry who were bailed out by the government? Or do we not care because they're "job creators" or whatever?

I've often found that women who worked before, during, and after the women's movement have the biggest chips on their should. My mother, for example, tries to champion all this workplace stuff, but at the end of the day they're irritated that we didn't face the obstacles that they did. So when I had two bosses like…

AMEN!!!!

Is McDonalds known for handing out Medicaid and SNAP applications in their break room like Walmart is?

Yes but the complaint I've heard is that when it's a joint decision, he feels pushed into it. I've heard this not only from an ex but from other guy friends. One of my friends complained that when his now-wife suggested it, he was miffed because he wanted it to be HIS idea and now he looks like a wuss.

Well I happen to think how much effort you put into it is a reflection of your true feelings. When my ex proposed he did nothing special. Well he did do a couple shots beforehand. But literally...nothing. Got down on one knee and that's it.

That reminds me of ANOTHER couple I know. Very conservative Jewish couple. She once told me that the she and her husband only ever have sex at night, lights off, under the covers, in missionary position. She said it was the best sex she'd ever had. She neglects to tell people it's the only sex she's ever had.

God is not energy efficient!

I guess when they were dating he never paid attention. The only reason she explained it to him was because they were finally having sex. I guess he felt he needed to know? Or she felt compelled to explain? Now that I'm writing all this out, I'm wondering how they figured out their wedding night. Or maybe they…

I went to college with a couple who married young and were VERY religious. After the wedding, the bride proudly boasted that her 25 year old husband had no idea how the female reproductive system worked. WTF? She had to draw a diagram and tell him about monthly cycles and all that. When I told her that was eleven…

"And, of course, the answers to the first case is they don't have to deal with men, so they don't have to worry about their appearance. They're not trying to please men."

Bingo. I really didn't want to do it because I wasn't close to either one of them. I don't care about being left out of a clique. I just don't want to pony up $20 to people that I don't care for and who don't care for me. But since there were only three of us in the minority...yadda yadda yadda.

Sometimes you're not even invited to the wedding! I work in an office of 15 people. 12 were invited to the wedding. I was not. Yet ALL of us had to pony up $10 for an office wedding gift. The person who was soliciting for the bride's gift was one of her bridesmaids, and she also worked in our office. That…

A friend of mine's type-A, aggressive, controlling MoH planned the bachelorette party at this expensive B&B with spa treatments and a visit to a winery. She even had conference calls about it. After I was imagining all the money this would cost me, the bride stepped in and said, "Uh...we have access to [mutual…
